Ethereum Staking Quiz

Transcript

Okay, everybody. Um, thank you. My name is Nolan. I'm a member of the East Staker community or team, I guess. Kfax, former current member of East Staker, who knows? Um, thank you very much for coming to our event and sticking it out to the end. Appreciate you. Um, we are going to finish things off hopefully with a fun cahoot quiz. Uh, so we call it a staking quiz, but there's also some Ethereum questions and just some silly questions. It's just for fun.

Everyone can participate. So, pull out your phone. You don't need to download an app. You don't need to make an account. You just go to cahoot.it. Uh, the people watching on the live stream, you can play along at home. There's going to be a little bit of a lag because of the stream. There's nothing we can do, but we're having fun. And I guess we'll just sit around. Guess maybe a show of hands if people are in and happy. Lots of familiar names here.

>> Very exciting. What's the largest quiz we've ever run, Nolan? Do you know? >> Uh, like people wise? >> Yeah. Participants? >> I don't know. Probably like 60 70 people, we're at 36 37. Uh, I believe you will be able to join uh after we start as well if you came in a bit late. 45. >> All right.

46. 47. I don't know. Should we start? What do we think? Is anyone in the room still working on it? Good to go. All right. Let's start. Oh, I should mention the faster you answer the more points you get. Where was the first Dev Connect held? >> Amsterdam, Bogota, Brussels, or Istanbul.

I'll also mention I think you do get penalized if you get the answer wrong, right? >> Uh I think you just don't get points. >> Okay. Then you don't get like the shout out for having a streak too. So >> yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [clears throat] >> Okay. >> Amsterdam is the right answer. Yeah. >> Good start. >> Show hands. Who was at that dev connect in Amsterdam? >> Quite a good portion. Like a third. All right. >> Okay. LBD K Van Buddha. You saw the questions. You're cheating. Buddha.

>> Buddha's disqualified. Which VC firm did Vitalic used to work for? >> Tiger Global, Fambushi Capital, A16Z, or Lamboshi NGU Fund. >> I was going to say Bitcoin Magazine. >> Yeah. Well, that's true, too. >> FBI Capital. >> FBI Capital. Let's see. Big shakeup. Of course, Buddha got it correct. Of course, this makes perfect sense.

>> I see you with the answer key on your other phone. You can't do that. >> Where was Zuzulu City first? >> Portugal, Slovenia, Morocco, or Montenegro? >> Everyone, this was kind of a secret event at the time. We've only recently learned about it. Were you there, Nolan? >> I can neither confirm nor deny. >> Fair enough. >> Montenegro with 20. So, at least 23 people in this room are there, I guess. >> LVD keeping up the top.

>> Buddha's got the answers. He's still not winning. [laughter] >> What tokens were earned during DeFi summer? Food, arcade, bus or car wash? >> Okay. Arcade tokens threw a few people off.

Aggressively optimizing smart contract code is called what? >> Gas bowling, gas golfing, gas shorting, or gas gassing. Nolan, do you know who coined this term?

>> I do not know. >> Okay. >> It would be nice if I did. It'd be a good factoid right now >> for next year's trivia >> to fill the time. >> Yeah. >> Uh gas golfing. Do you know why they call it gas golfing, Nolan? Um, in golf, the lowest score wins. So, same with gas. You want to use as little gas as possible. >> Gas shorting is a good one, though. I see why a good amount of people thought that. >> Buddha must have voted for gasing. >> How many high severity vulnerabilities were found in the deposit CLI after Eastaker had it audited in 2024?

0 1 2 or three. 51 answers are in. >> The answer is two. >> Okay. Not many people knew about this. >> We uh >> a lot of confidence in uh in the deposit CLI. which there should be but yeah it's a it's too Can you tell us anything about those Nolan like why >> um >> should I be concerned as a homestaker I guess >> no no it's all sorted out now there was a an very specific issue where if you

got the password to one encrypted key store you could also guess the passwords of all the additional ones created in the same run and then there was another even more esoteric issue but um they're both patched now we're Good. Everything's okay. >> So, I should not be worried as a homestaker, nor do I need to do anything. >> Yes. >> Perfect. >> Okay. K coming into lead and James. James is always a strong competitor.

What was the name of the merge test net? Alana, Serenity, Kugi, or Alter? I see some confident looks in the crowd. >> I heard a Oh, I got it wrong, too. >> Kugi. Wow. A lot of people thought Alter. >> Does anybody know what Kugi actually means? It's >> it's the it's the Japanese method of using gold to fix

>> to fix like a broken piece of pottery. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> It's pretty cool. We have a broken sponge holder pottery at home that I'm need to kugi when I get back. >> Also, if you didn't know kinugi, it's because everyone just called it the merge test net. Nobody called it kinugi. So, fair play for missing that one, guys. I mean, >> I wonder if Buddha got it right. >> K drops from the throne. >> Okay, here we go.
