This is not to be confused with "subnets" that Hiro Systems is building. This is my own stab at building an off-chain causally-consistent asset trading system.

Disclaimer: I'm trying to flesh out a system that has only been described at a very high level. The purpose of this document is to write down notes on how I currently and tentatively believe subnets will work. This document is not authoritative, and may be significantly revised or even deleted.

All the credit for this approach goes to Aaron Blankstein. This document is based off of a conversation I had with him. I'm merely filling in the gaps.

What do we know about Subnets?

Revisions

Oct 19 2021: deployed MVP v2 of the appchain mining contract and updated the links and examples in this document to use it instead.

Introduction

Blockchains don't scale. The fact that all nodes process all transactions means that the blockchain only goes as fast as the slowest node allowed on the network. If that's something like a Raspberry Pi, then that's as fast as the blockchain goes.

And that's okay! The upside is that the more people can run nodes, the more resilient the blockchain will be. It's much harder to break a 10,000-node blockchain where most nodes run on home computers all across the world than a 10,000-node blockchain where most nodes run in a few datacenters.

Open in Visual Studio Code

Open Automator
Create a new document
Select Quick Action
Set “Service receives selected” to files or folders in any application
Add a Run Shell Script action
- your default shell should already be selected, otherwise use /bin/zsh for macOS 10.15 (”Catalina”) or later
- older versions of macOS use /bin/bash
if you're using something else, you probably know what to do 😉

Let's imagine we have a lot of mp3 files ( forexample one of the pluralsite courses converted to mp3 ).
