Tezos: A Self-Amending Crypto-Ledger

http://www.tezos.com/position_paper.pdf

Abstract
The popularization of Bitcoin, a decentralized, trustless, crypto-currency has inspired the production of several alternative, or \alt", currencies. Ethereum, CryptoNote, and Zerocash all represent unique contributions to the crypto-currency space. Although most alt currencies harbor their own source of innovation, they have no means of adopting the innovations of other currencies which may succeed them. We aim to remedy the po- tential for atrophied evolution in the crypto-currency space by presenting Tezos, a generic and self-amending crypto-ledger. Tezos can instanciate any blockchain based protocol. Its seed protocol species a procedure for stakeholders to approve amendments to the proto- col, including amendments to the amendment procedure itself. Upgrades to Tezos are staged through a testing environment to allow stakeholders to recall potentially problematic amendments. The philosophy of Tezos is inspired by Peter Suber's Nomic[1], a game built around a fully introspective set of rules. In this paper, we hope to elucidate the potential benets of Tezos, our choice to implement as a proof-of-stake system, and our choice to write it in OCaml.

If i understand correctly this project became somewhat obsolete with tau-chain.

How does this in any way diminish the academic relevance of the paper that the OP linked here?

Promoting Ponzi's is illegal and u can be charged with mail fraud

10 yrs jail per offence

Not that i really give a sht about the offence part

I still think its a Ponzi

To date this website has committed enough mail fraud

to put the owners and staff away forever incl Ant

So its impossible for them not to be working for the Feds

Your statement wasn't very coherent so I am not following exactly whom you are accusing of being a ponzi. As it currently stands the paper is cryptographic analysis, rather than any sort of promotion for financial fraud.

I never stated that it was one nor the other, but you're entitled to your opinion. I'd prefer to not discuss this matter any further since it doesn't concern itself with the paper's academic claims themselves.

Just read the paper again for a second time has Tezos been released yet

and wat are  the realistic key benefits? are you trying to replicate

the C++ with Omcal

[arthurb]

We published some code on github, see https://github.com/tezos/tezos

The key benefits of Tezos are

1) a governance mechanism that permits innovation at the protocol level through self-amendments. It means stakeholder can choose to incorporate or reject various innovations. They could introduce new types of transactions, new assets or even change the consensus protocol itself.

2) a formally specified smart-contract language

3) good design in general

Why was the ANN in altcoin forum deleted?

How does one get this token? When does it launch?
