Blockchain Innovation: Interviewing The Brightest Minds In Blockchain

Jason Teutsch is a mathematician (PhD) and computer scientist whose research focuses on distributed systems, security, game theory, and algorithmic randomness. Jason is also the founder of TrueBit - a scalable verification solution for Blockchains. In this episode, Jason and I discuss:  The computational limitations of Ethereum smart contracts The definition of smart contract (hint: it’s not the same as a legal contract), gas, and the gas limit on Ethereum The “Verifier’s Dilemma,” a situation whereby Blockchain miners have little to no incentives to verify transactions (which is the problem TrueBit solves) Use cases for TrueBit, including LivePeer – a decentralized video streaming platform, AI, “Interactive ICOs,” and much more
