⚠️ Eth2 staking has risks! ⚠️ Don't stake if you cannot afford to lock up funds for the next 18-24 months. Don't stake if you cannot tolerate operational losses due to staking user errors, software bugs, or other unforeseen events.

TCRs are weird. Recent game-theoretic research with @bhaskark_la : For rational token-holders to accept a candidate into the TCR, it is not sufficient that the candidate makes the TCR better (i.e. increases valuation of tokens). The candidate must make TCR "sufficiently" better.

The intuition - to believe that TCRs work, you must believe (or provide a model) that making a "good" choice increases token value. This is the ONLY driving force needed.

@DeanEigenmann @protolambda I’d say data availability of x-shard msgs is different than state availability in same shard. X-shard msgs have to go to a different partition of the network, while state provision is basically just gossip in the same partition

@0xAshish @lorecirstea @AFDudley0 @aeyakovenko @VitalikButerin @muneeb @jadler0 @JonnyRhea @DeanEigenmann Hierarchical sharding is one of the features of the CBC Casper sharding design! X-shard communication overhead can be reduced by grouping accounts that communicate frequently into the same/adjacent shards

Eth2 clients need an up-to-date slashing protection DB to function correctly!

tl;dr - ⚠️Running multiple VCs is unsafe - VCs need 3 items for correct operation: synced Beacon Node, validator key, & up-to-date slashing protection DB - Outline for rebuilding slashing protection DB: - Secret-Shared Validators provide optimal resilience

@lookfirst @AFDudley0 @VladZamfir It’s not the developers’ job to check the quality of the spec. Maybe we should compare it to the construction business. Do the builders review the architects work? 🤷‍♂️

@badcryptobitch @VladZamfir @naterush1997 Other WIP major components for the sharding spec: - load balancer - fault model for equivocations in other shards - making the intended protocol an equilibrium through the PoS system

@lakshmansankar learn, ideate, plan, incorporate, ensure compliance, spend 💵 on CPA/legal, THEN if you have energy - execute And if you survive that, repeat 😊

@kevinsekniqi @VitalikButerin @TheBlock__ @ChengYilun @el33th4xor @gakonst This analysis isn't correct. Here's why: - Shards don't run consensus protocols. The comm. complexity per shard block is O(n) messages, where n is the shard committee size [1/3]

@jadler0 I think consensus protocols that use the threshold intersection argument in their safety proofs generally fall under the BFT category

@DeanEigenmann @protolambda The issue becomes the data availability of the message in the other shard. We can make the other shard aware that some msgs was sent, since it sees the checkpoint. But data has to go to the other shard through out-of-protocol channels

@AFDudley0 @VladZamfir ... anything apart from the specified protocol to be byzantine behavior which can possibly affect safety, and an upper limit on such nodes is assumed.
