- Vinay Gupta (from Ethereum Foundation) talking about the history of cryptography and then Gavin Wood presents Ethereum in non-technical way.
- Gavin Wood (from Ethereum Foundation):
- "Eth is natively multi-user: all code runs as a particular user on a virtual silicon. It is natively bit-torrented - all code executes at its local storage area and when it wants to execute code in other storage areas it actually has to use message passing mechanism". Here he makes an association between message passing logic and Ethereum as distributed computing.
- Eth can be accessed via JavaScript;
- The expense of using the machine is only when you want to alter things; just accessing information does not cost anything;
- Eth can give you the complete history of any states;
- The internet is a global singleton of components;
- Eth works by message passing between objects;
- In Eth messages are called 'transactions'; but actually it is the same as 'messages' as they are called in traditional message passing frameworks.
- Ethereum is a World Computer;
- Vision:
- Eth as an innovation commons;
- The first decentralized computer;
