  • Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), and Cardano (ADA) Lead Altcoins Charge As 2021 Closes Its Curtains
    3 projects | /r/CryptoCurrencyTrading | 13 Dec 2021
    The daily developments were reduced by August but resumed vigorously in September. The whole of September was a busy month for developers as the daily submission rates for most coins were very high. At this time, ETH, DOT, and ADA were the leader as SOL followed closely behind. It was not till towards Mid-October that the daily developments reduced.

    So, uh, the two things the blog post covers are actively awful practices. Let's look at Logging. Logging boils down to ServantLogConfig, which carries a function Text -> IO (). This is bad. Text is not a great type for logging, since it's relatively slow and encodings aren't guaranteed to be sensible (cf this bug where logging to a file was broken based on environment encoding). You want something like LogStr from fast-logger, or even a ByteString.Builder or Text.Builder even.
  • When are we going to get a nice LONG tutorial on NixOS on youtube?

    oops I want my Daedalus wallet (actually very surprising it's not there as Cardano uses Nix). Meanwhile this packaging request has been Open since 2017.

    For what it's worth, coincheckup is tracking https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-sl which is the old repo from before they split up a lot of the infrastructure into their own repos.

    This is non trivial, you can check an example how we generate valid subset of Haskell to check that our implementation of orElse is corect: https://github.com/input-output-hk/ouroboros-network/blob/master/io-sim/test/Test/STM.hs
  • What do you guys think about Cardano?

    So from what I gather the transaction fee is a fixed protocol parameter. I like how fees are distributed amongst the epoch, If I had to design a blockchain system I'd also have chosen this approach TBH. It addresses some of the issues and misaligned incentives if you only have to rely on fees for block rewards. However if the demand for transactions constantly outweighs the available space you get into other issues. I tried to find details on how Cardano handles transactions and manages its mempool. I believe somewhere here is the code? (https://github.com/input-output-hk/ouroboros-network/blob/master/ouroboros-consensus/src/Ouroboros/Consensus/Mempool/Impl.hs)
