yellowpaper VS clientdiversity-org

After some digging, I found that indeed this was already fixed. Let me share EIP-3607 that does just that. Here is the corresponding change to the yellow paper and here is its implementation in Geth.

You are correct that the original yellow paper would be outdated. But there is a version on GitHub that is being kept up to date: https://github.com/ethereum/yellowpaper

PR to Ethereum Yellow Paper: https://github.com/ethereum/yellowpaper/pull/801

Also the author of the Ethereum yellow paper, the technical version of the white paper, so he knows a thing or two...https://github.com/ethereum/yellowpaper

I would like to begin work on an alternate Avalanche client, but can't find any yellow paper to base my work on. Ideally Avalanche would have something like https://github.com/ethereum/yellowpaper so anyone could implement an Avalanche client without needing to grok the single Go implementation.

Alessandro said it'd be a few days before he can get me a data endpoint, but once that happens I'll have clientdiversity.org updated in a day or 2

Ethereum is the most decentralized transaction ledger in the world, with thousands of nodes distributed across the world, and more client diversity than any other blockchain that I'm aware of:

The move to Proof of Stake has also made solo validation accessible to parties other than large pools.

there are guides on https://clientdiversity.org/

Large number of nodes does not equal decentralization. In Ethereum, like all other networks/countries, power tends to consolidate. All the consensus power is consolidated to 1-2 entities.link Hedera is already far more decentralized.

Apparently that’s the case, yes: https://clientdiversity.org/ though the source says „data might not be 100% accurate“, but I guess it’s sure geth dominance is down.

Execution clients only run GETH. Client diversity isn’t even great per eth foundation: https://clientdiversity.org

10+ separate companies implement the protocol in 10 completely different independent code bases https://clientdiversity.org/

As I said this is the second time I did this "report" and asked for better sources the first time as well. In the end I did my best to find reliable sources, but even back then I really wasn't sure if these numbers are correct. And if you look at https://clientdiversity.org/ there are even two data sources you can choose that really differ... so +1 to the irony of our industry...
