Legitimate discussion on sharding and Ethereum shut down by Edmund Edgar for wrong reasons

I'm the inventor of the "simultaneous video event" Gavin Wood is currently pursuing (Gavin built the first version of Ethereum, then Jeffrey Wilckes and his team built the Golang, and then more came). I have followed "scaling" discussion since 2014, but always found that it was misunderstanding the Nakamoto consensus. But since my proof-of-unique-person requires someone to solve scaling, I took some more looks at the topic and I realized that what the discussion was missing is that the consensus should not be split. Everything happening under a "block of authority" should be by the same group, who trusts one another internally. With that, parallelization can still happen, but the consensus is not split. The concept is really similar otherwise to the "sharding" discussion, it only avoids splitting the consensus.

What the discussion in Ethereum was typically in the past decade was to instead randomly assign validators to "shards" from the validator pool. This approach fundamentally misunderstands the consensus.

As I realized what everyone got wrong, I was unable to find a system that actually did scale the way things should be done. But, I then noticed there is a system. But if I even mention that here, this gets removed. Not because of the topic I raise, but because of guilt by association. You have created a "community" where you have erased the roots to it, as well as made mention of actual competition (as the roots are often a form of competition, Steve Wozniak would remain a form of competition even as the computer industry outgrew his Apple 2 etc). The system I mentioned is teranode, that is parallelizing the block production but they do so internally under a singular trusted central authority for the "block". Of course Ethereum was the next step after Bitcoin, and my proof-of-unique-person is fundamentally based on the Ethereum paradigm. But Satoshi was who came up with the consensus. Buterin came up with the Turing completeness. Buterin, and Gavin Wood, and Jeffrey Wilckes, were all geniuses in my eyes. But so was Satoshi.

"Removing this because it's not about Ethereum.

It sort of pretends to be but doesn't make any attempt to work out what Ethereum sharding actually is so the point is clearly just to shill some Craig Wright thing. " Edmund Edgar
