Jeff’s Ethereum ÐΞV Update I
I thought it was time to give an update from my side for those who want to know how we are doing on the Dutch side. My name is Jeff, the founder of Ethereum and one of the three directors of Ethereum (along with Vitalik and Gavin). ÐΞVA development entity that builds Ethereum and all related technologies.
For the past few months I have been looking for a suitable office space to host my Amsterdam hub. Unfortunately, it requires more work than initially anticipated and so far we have nothing to show for it. I passed this work on to my good friend and now colleague Maran. Maran will do its best to find the most suitable location for the Ams hub and Mist development. People using the Ethereum programming language person Switch to Serpent, or it may soon become your de facto programming language. firmness. I made the wise decision to focus my attention on more pressing issues such as protocol and browser development. Perhaps in the future there will be time to look at the development process again.
ÐΞV Amsterdam
The lawyers finally set up a company here in Amsterdam after two months (ugh, the Dutch and their bureaucracy) and found a bank that would accept us as loyal customers (… ). There are currently a few options for office space and I will write about them as soon as I know more specifics.
team
Now it’s time for the Ams team to be properly introduced. These guys are doing such a great job!
The first person to join the Ams team is Alex van de Sande (life abdicate). Alex is a talented UX engineer and has been with us for quite some time. It was only a matter of time before he became an official member of the ÐΞV team. Alex works as a UI development and UX expert, prototyping the latest Web3 browser.
The second person to join the team is victor throne. Vik is a crazy math geek and is currently developing and rigorously testing the new DEVP2P. I have known Vik ever since the project started somewhere in January/February. He’s a great guy and a real asset to this team.
The third person to join the team is Felix Long. Felix is a persistent gopher (yay!). The first thing he pointed out to me was that he was too kind, as I had not managed the Go routine properly and had a lot of race conditions (-; Once the Felix spec is officially finalized, we will be working on the Whisper implementation. Felix is super He is a star gopher and has the ability to become a true Ethereum Core Dev.
The fourth person to join the team is Daniel Nagy. Daniel has a background in cryptocurrency and security, and his first task is to create a comprehensive specification for DHT implementation and development.
Last but not least Maran Hiskes. Maran has been on this team before, but in a completely different role. Maran worked on the protocol, but Crying, peeing, defecating machine The new member of his family decided to take some time off. Now his main role is to handle the difficult tasks. ÐΞV Administration of Amsterdam.
We’d like to thank Nick, Caktux and Joris for their continued efforts in our development, even though they are not on anyone’s team. build system. I’d also like to especially thank Nick for pointing out the inconsistencies between implementations. Nick, you are such a pain in the ass (-;
from now on
There is still a lot of work ahead of us as we move toward the next phase of proof of concept (PoC-7).
Recently I started building a toolset to be able to test Christoph’s (he’s part of the Berlin team) awesome test suite. Christoph has put tremendous effort into developing a suitable test suite for the Ethereum protocol. I had no idea people could enjoy writing tests as much as you do. You are the person I respect the most.
I also like to use a cross-implementation JavaScript framework: ethereum.js. Ethereum.js is rapidly being adopted by the rest of Ether Hackers and is already being used in Go websocket and JSON RPC implementations, C++ JSON RPC implementations, and Node.js implementations. Ethereum.js is a true ÐΞV cross-implementation team effort.
IMAPP’s Polish partners (Paweł and Artur) have completed the first implementation of a JIT-compiled LLVM-based EVM implementation and agreed to create a Go bridge to allow Mist to benefit from the aforementioned speedup of Ethereum contract execution. Gav’s update.

I will continue to try to write blog posts with updates regarding Mist, the protocol, and ÐΞV in general, so stay tuned!
