@colludingnode is doing an AMA. Famous for clapping web3 cheeks on Twitter, he’s also one of the wizards behind Celestia. Moonlights as an actor and singer on the side.

Ask questions on:

1. Blockchain architecture
2. ZK
3. Cryptography

Ladies, he’s also single ready to mingle!

What use cases does cheap scalable DA unlock that excites you?

Checking the chains @witness - icebreaker.xyz/osprey.fc

hmm, i think i prefer to bring everything onchain. Rollups are blockchains, so they count as "on-chain", right?

Unlike lightning network, which is more of a true "off-chain" scaling system, and unfortunately it's pretty bad for some important use-cases like private payments (as an excersize to the reader, think about how to add privacy to lightning or Plasma)

Should our space focus more on "extending onchain guarantees offchain" versus attempting to "bring everything onchain"?

Why or why not?

what role zk plays in data availability sampling?

Big fan! I honestly don't know much about Ethereum, but what I do know, I have learned from reading the Reth code base.

what are your thoughts on Reth's architecture?

You should meet Noah when he’s back to nyc @colludingnode 

You’ll get along well. An up and comer in all things blockchain

Why does Celestia use a DA scheme that involves fraud proofs of incorrect data encoding? Is there some tradeoff against PeerDAS which doesn't require this?

DarkFi is the community that has popularized the term

I'd consider Aztec, Penumbra, ZCash, Monero, and some parts of Ethereum community to be Lunarpunk.

which cheeks did you clap? famous for it so..
