Blockchain – Part 2

Über Ethereum und Alternativen zu Proof-of-Work

Im zweiten Teil zum Thema Blockchain spricht Stefan Tilkov mit Lucas Dohmen über Krypto-Währungen und -Plattformen jenseits von Bitcoin. Ein Beispiel dafür ist Ethereum, das es ermöglicht, eigene komplexe Anwendungen umzusetzen. Stefan stellt einige Use Cases für solche Programme vor. Außerdem werden alternative Konsens-Mechanismen wie Proof of Authority, Proof of Stake und Proof of Service vorgestellt. Zum Schluss erklärt Stefan, für welche Anwendungsfälle der Einsatz einer Blockchain keinen Sinn ergibt.
