Второй онлайн-день #DotNext закончился.
В числе прочего был интересный разговор на тему «Страх и ненависть в Open Source», но я вам о некоторых особо заметных случаях рассказывал уже вот тут и тут. Ещё послушал про обратное соединение распиленного монолита (бывает, что и такое нужно!) и ещё пару докладов.
В целом, впечатления противоречивые. Опишу кратко.
Плюсы:
1. Высочайшего качества техническая организация. Ничего не глючило, чистая картинка и звук, удобный UI.
2. Были полезные и практичные вещи, интересные.
3. Реально отвечали на вопросы в чате в реалтайм-режиме.
Что прошло ниже моих ожиданий (я впервые на такой дорогой IT-конференции):
1. Наверное, подсознательно я ожидал что с учётом цены билета буквально каждый доклад будет супер звёздным уровня "Торвальдс лично рассказывает подробности устройства ядра Linux, и делает это с шутками и котиками". Но доклады в среднем довольно обычные. Некоторые поверхностные, другие на очень далёкую от меня тему. И ещё их не очень много, не то, чтоб был гигантский выбор. Хотя, справедливости ради, больше 2-3 лекций в день тяжело осилить.
2. Интерактивные фишки формально заявлены: виртуальные стенды и квизы. По факту, во-первых, стенды и квизы полностью повторяют друг друга, во-вторых, их было всего два, и интересный (на мой личный взгляд) только один. Я ожидал, что их хотя бы десяток будет.
3. Часть обсуждения в Telegram, часть прямо в онлайн-чате лекции, и это, на мой взгляд, не пошло на пользу. Мне не хотелось вступать в Telegram-чат, но активность в основном чате лекции была низкой, при этом с телефона такой чат вообще не подразумевался.
Я для себя убедился, что всё-таки именно мне в таких мероприятиях важна офлайновость: прийти и вживую потусить, получить мерч, поучаствовать в активностях. Чисто в онлайн-формате сугубо на мой взгляд мероприятие себя не окупает. Посмотрим, что будет в офлайне 27-го числа, напишу вам отзыв.

🚀 StarkWare Researcher Proposes Complex Bitcoin Transaction Scheme
StarkWare researcher Avihu Mordechai Levy has introduced a Bitcoin transaction scheme that aims to circumvent the need for a protocol change. According to NS3.AI, the proposed method involves solving a pre-broadcast puzzle, which would necessitate approximately 70 trillion attempts. Levy characterized this design as a last-resort solution due to its significant computational demands, large transaction size, and potential relay-policy challenges, all of which could hinder scalability.

🚀 Zcash Open Development Lab Unveils Strategic Direction Focused on Post-Quantum Security
On April 13, Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL) founder Josh Swihart announced the latest developments for Zcash, emphasizing a strategic direction centered on post-quantum security, scalability, and user experience. According to BlockBeats, Swihart likened the initiative to the Artemis II lunar mission, highlighting the pursuit of seemingly impossible goals through technological breakthroughs. The ZODL team revealed that Zcash is entering the 'Zcash IV' phase, aiming to build infrastructure akin to a 'lunar base' to support the protocol and applications' secure expansion to billions of users, while advancing the vision of privacy transactions without large-scale financial surveillance.
On the product and technology front, ZODL continues to iterate, with its 3.3.x version now available on iOS and Android, featuring new hardware wallet connection management, SDK upgrades, and multiple user experience enhancements. Key developments include advancing Keystone wallet functionality and upgrading the address system (ZIP 316, UIVK/UFVK). Meanwhile, the Zcash core team has addressed several system issues and is progressing with the Zallet alpha version development, strengthening unified address standards and wallet interaction experience to lay the foundation for future scalability and performance improvements.
Additionally, ZODL disclosed ongoing growth in application data and participation in a stablecoin privacy summit to enhance industry collaboration. However, due to increased regulatory and network restrictions, ZODL has temporarily removed its app from Russian app stores. The team emphasized that privacy is not optional but a fundamental need in the digital age, and they will continue to accelerate delivery pace to promote ZEC adoption and ecosystem development.
The core of Zcash Open Development Lab is to develop an open, self-custodial private financial platform, aiming to expand ecosystem interoperability through collaboration and bring protected ZEC transactions to the global mainstream market.
