We are organizing an AMA session in Telegram with one of the architects of æternity’s state channels technology - Dimitar Ivanov. You can read the full announcement here:
If you have any questions for Dimitar, add them below and we will make sure they get answered during the AMA.
Hello,Vlad and the AE Team.Do you know Ethereum’s state channels technology? What are the advantages of æternity’s state channels technology compared with Ethereum’s state channels technology.
All the best,
Da Shu.
Hey @Bigtree.chain, the advantages of æternity’s state channels come mainly from the fact that they are a First-Layer solution - i.e. they are incorporated on a protocol level, and not on the second layer like with Ethereum. Thus, æternity’s state channels are much more efficient. Dimitar will tell you more about that during the AMA
Two questions:
1, the current AE’s mining power is concentrated in 2-3 mining pools (such as beepool has exceeded 60%), such situation may bring 51% attacks? Besides the 51% attack, will there be other issues?
2. What is the official attetudeto such situation of mining power? Do they consider that such a situation may lead to people’s criticism of Ae? For example, AE was heavily increased in the first year, and most of the additional is obtained by a very small number of mines, which seems to be purposefully transported to the interests of a few miners.
