Sinossi
Explore the foundations of decentralized governance through Ethereum Classic, a mustread for professionals, students, and enthusiasts seeking to understand the political science behind blockchain. This book unpacks how decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) reshape trust, power, and decisionmaking. Chapters Brief Overview: 1: Ethereum Classic: Examines the birth of Ethereum Classic and its ideological foundation in immutability. 2: Fork (blockchain): Discusses blockchain forks as political decisions that redefine consensus and governance. 3: The DAO: Analyzes the original DAO, its impact, and how it tested the limits of decentralized autonomy. 4: Doublespending: Breaks down the threat of doublespending and its implications on trust in distributed systems. 5: Nervos Network: Introduces Nervos and its approach to layered architecture in decentralized infrastructure. 6: Monero: Focuses on Monero's privacy features and the politics of anonymity in a decentralized world. 7: Decentralized autonomous organization: Defines DAOs and their disruptive role in governance and policy innovation. 8: Solidity: Explores Solidity’s role in enabling autonomous codedriven governance and smart contract logic. 9: Ethereum: Reviews Ethereum’s evolution and divergence, and its vision of programmable, decentralized control. 10: Blockchain: Lays the groundwork of blockchain as a trustless political system based on transparency and rules. 11: Bitcoin: Presents Bitcoin as the origin of decentralized consensus and the politics of monetary sovereignty. 12: Cryptocurrency wallet: Describes wallets as personal sovereignty tools within decentralized political economies. 13: Vitalik Buterin: Reflects on Buterin’s politicalphilosophical influence on Ethereum and blockchain ethics. 14: Bitcoin Cash: Analyzes Bitcoin Cash as a fork with political motivations and its implications for governance. 15: Proof of stake: Investigates proofofstake as a politicaleconomic alternative to proofofwork systems. 16: Decentralized application: Details dApps as grassroots tools that embody decentralized political expression. 17: Smart contract: Explains how smart contracts codify lawlike behavior in digital political environments. 18: SegWit: Reviews SegWit as a technical and political response to Bitcoin’s scalability and governance issues. 19: Litecoin: Surveys Litecoin’s role as a complementary currency and its strategic choices in governance. 20: Gavin Wood: Highlights Wood’s contributions to decentralized systems and the politics of Web3 technologies. 21: Cryptocurrency: Concludes with the broader cryptocurrency landscape and its decentralized political paradigm. This book challenges conventional views of governance and offers a compelling entry point into the political science of decentralized systems. Whether you're building the future or simply trying to understand it, Ethereum Classic connects deep ideas to practical realities.
