What types of Ethereum transactions are there? What does the smart contract execution process look like? Is there an advantage to over-estimating gas in Ethereum?

These questions are from the seventh session of MOOC 11, which took place on March 15th 2019. If you want early-access to talks and a chance to participate in the monthly live Q&As with Andreas, become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/aantonop

  1. I’d like to support development as a test specialist. Could you share ideas, concerns, approaches on how to test blockchain (eg transactional as Bitcoin, or smart contract), nodes. The source code for nodes is quite…. challenging to say the least.

  2. @aantonop Have yourself tested for food allergies. Most likely wheat / gluten, Milk and / or Soy are likely culprits. I can tell you are reacting negatively to something by the dark circles under your eyes. Don't blame it on lack of sleep. Thank you for all that you do. Respect.

  3. Bitcoin is neither a currency (cause it cannot be used as such) nor digital gold cause it has no unique properties that other crypto don't have. It may go to a million but eventually it will fade away.
    Ethereum in it's current state is useless and when Ethereum 2.0 is ready it will be late and inferior to other DLTs that the industry will be building on.
    Thoughts?
