Ethereum Community Series

Paul Brody on EY, Ethereum, and Enterprise


Listen Later


I tried to ask everybody's questions but for the sake of not getting too repetitive, some of them are answered in the conversation even though they weren't explicitly asked by me. Also, check out their miner, because it's easier to mine your own ETH for testing purposes.



This is a fast-paced conversation packed with insights, so let's get started!



"I think in many ways we had better questions and more insightful comments from the [Ethereum] community on Reddit than we sometimes get from professional journalists. The community has some technical knowledge that most professional journalists don't have, and honestly, they seemed to have put the dots together about our vision - the comments I've read online have often been much more thoughtful and much closer to [the vision that we have] than sometimes the analyses we read in the press."Paul Brody



Some questions on Paul..



* u/reterical asks two introductionairy questions. (timestamp)* “What first resonated with you about Ethereum and / or Blockchain?”* “Have you personally interacted with Ethereum projects?”

From your LinkedIn: “EY Dye Pack uses ZKP software to identify stolen tokens, prevent their usage, and issue replacement tokens to the victims of thefts, analogous to those exploding dye packs we all see in movies about bank robberies.” How does this work? Any technical paper to be pointed to? (timestamp)* u/runnlngoutofspaces says “The Github page reads ‘Note that this code has not yet completed a security review and therefore we strongly recommend that you do not use it in production or to transfer items of material value. We take no responsibility for any loss you may incur through the use of this code.”” When could we expect that Nightfall has undergone a 3rd party security audit and is safe to use in a production environment?(timestamp) (I'm sorry to have butchered your question!)* u/DboVilakati asks “Given EY's interest in developing on the public Ethereum network, how does EY hedge against stalled development (like scaling), regulatory risk, and 'competing' networks?
