@Ulysses Gave a comment on Research Summary: Privacy Preserving Decentralized Netting and asked insightful questions on the topic. Mentioning other commenters and creating connectivity within the comment. By highlighting when a blockchain should be used. As well as asking questions on why a zero knowledge proof system was chosen over a secure multiparty computation system? Link: Research Summary: Privacy Preserving Decentralized Netting - #3 by amit
@Freakytainment Leaving a comment that goes over good detail on the Research Topic: Ethereum Name Service. Breaking down the difference between Domain Name Service(DNS) and Blockchain Name Service(BNS). Leaving knowledge on the pros and cons of both services. That BNS is least acceptable to hacking compared to DNS. Link: Research Summary: Ethereum Name Service: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - #12 by Yesh
