Also the best way to learn what an advisor is like is to straight up ask the current students. They almost have no incentives to lie so you'll likely hear the truth. Of course what works great for one person does not work well for someone else.

In terms of picking an advisor it's to some degree a crapshoot but the most general differentiator is whether they have tenure or not. In general no tenure-> more time for you, very hands on, less freedom tenure-> more experience, more freedom, sometimes disengaged

I agree with @paddyucl that doing a research visit/internship is a great way to experience research and get connections/academic experience. Also having work experience that is not research related can be very beneficial as it let's you see what problems are actually relevant.

2/n In Europe it also seems more important to have a clear project in mind (which you seem to have), whereas in the US you will still take some classes and you will pick a topic or area of interest once you are there. At some unis you will find your advisor in the first year.

1/n I had done my Masters at Stanford and had started doing research during it. I think the most important thing is strong letters of recommendation. Research experience is also very helpful but the two are obviously closely related.

The three documents of the ZKProof Standards Workshop have now been published - zkproof.org/documents.html We want to thank all of the participants, the sponsors and the track chairs for their contributions.

VDFs are by definition only parallelizable up to a certain degree. For these VDFs you can parallelize the group arithmetic of the evaluation. What might be parallelizable is the proof generation.

Yes that was a bad formulation. Krzysztof just proved his VDF assuming strong primes and we give a small proof under a computational assumption such that you can use class groups. Benjamin's work always requires an assumption which holds in class groups.

Dan Boneh @benafisch and I wrote a small survey about the recently published VDFs by Pietrzak and Wesolowski showing how one of them can be instantiated without a trusted setup and comparing their security assumptions: crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/pubs/pap…

Afaik they are not general purpose quantum computers but can only execute a quantum annealing optimization algorithm that doesn’t suffice to break cryptographic assumptions.

I am pretty sure that it’s easy to game the fees as an intermediary note. Would love to see a game theoretic analysis of that. Perhaps you can charge incentive compatible fees. I would assume routing has been studied to death.

Is it the assumption that nodes will always broadcast who they are connected to? What if someone doesn’t want to do that for privacy reasons etc
