My speculation is that it will go like Ethereum but halve in size, we have less resources like they did.
This reminded me
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4cg8lv/sharding_dont_like/d1i2gv2:
CASPER now operates on a Directed Acyclic Graph
Does anyone know if it's a part of the original design or it was added after the publication of Iota whitepaper?
PS: There are always few speculators who understand nuances of a tech they invested into, we need your answer now.
Ethereum has used DAGs in the mining algo (Dagger) fron day one. Dunno if relevant:
Before you can find any blocks, however, your computer needs to go through a process called “building a DAG”. This DAG (short for “Directed Acyclic Graph”) is a large data structure (~1GB) required for mining, intended to prevent ASIC machines (“Application Specific Integrated Circuits”) from being mass manufactured for mining ether.
Also:
https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/ethereum-homestead/latest/ethereum-homestead.pdfEthash uses a DAG (directed acyclic graph) for the proof of work algorithm, this is generated for each epoch, i.e., every 30000 blocks (125 hours, ca. 5.2 days).
DAG
DAG stands for Directed Acyclic Graph. It is a graph, a set of nodes and links between nodes,
that has very special properties. Ethereum uses a DAG in Ethash, the Ethereum Proof of Work
(POW) algorithm.The Ethash DAG takes a long time to be generated, which is done by a Miner
node into a cache file for each Epoch. The file data is then used when a value from this graph is
required by the algorithm.
Casper is Eth's PoS system, right? So logically (correct me if wrong) if Ethereum uses DAGs in its PoW phase why should it not have always intended to do so in its PoS phase?
EDIT: actually that might be crap logic by me since the applicatio of the DAG in PoW seems different from the way a DAG might be used in a Casper "shard" PoS (but really i have no idea).
The phrasing on the reddit post suggests it may be a newer idea:
Instead of operating one a simple singly linked chain of blocks, CASPER now operates on a Directed Acyclic Graph of blocks, the same rules of CASPER should apply
Even if they did lift the idea, however, it is quite possible they did so from Sergio's research and not IOTA's
