ETH Issuance debate continues, multi-collateral DAI almost ready for testnet, DigixDAO Carbon Votes and Truffle v5.0!
We now have both of our Introduction Workshops captured from the livestream, now on Youtube! Links are below for those who are looking to refresh their blockchain basics. We are also accepting suggestions on what any future livestreams should feature. Whether that is smart contracts, node setups or other demos, we’d be happy to do live webinars if there is enough demand. Please reach out by e-mail with your suggestions!
Lots of discussion brewing in the Ethereum community, especially about the delay of Casper and Proof of Stake, alongside the debate of issuance reduction for block rewards. MakerDAO will soon release a multi-collateral DAI smart contract on the Kovan testnet and Truffle University is taking applications to turn software engineers into blockchain devs!
