Metadium Code Review: Identity Protocol

THELOGICALINDIAN - n-a

Before I get into the Metadium cipher analysis this is interesting. It’s another’ Big Data is Evil’ yada yada affair but they absolutely accurate the botheration able-bodied in one allotment of their website: “Scattered. Controlled. Vulnerable.” Those are three acceptable affidavit for them to exist.

I don’t appetite my abstracts to be broadcast to third parties, controlled by centralized authorities, or accessible to hackers. Tell me more!

But instead they go off into la-la land.

“Blockchain ecosystem that allows for the amplification of blockchain platform. Metadium aims to achieve complete-digitalization of absolute world. Metadium solves the affair of on-line assurance character and formulates close access amid identities.”

I don’t apperceive what the aloft means.

“Powered by blockchain, Metadium offers; Enhanced Scalability, Game-Changing Expandability, Exceptional Performance”, aren’t those all the aforementioned thing?

These kinds of solutions consistently artifice me, because they accept a key chicken-egg problem. For integrators to accept application them, they charge a lot of users. For users to use it, they charge a lot of integrators. And how abundant does the boilerplate user affliction about their data?

More importantly, why do these guys charge their own blockchain? Just body this on Ethereum. Anyway, let’s jump over to the whitepaper.

That was quick, not a lot activity on in there, although I did like the architectonics diagrams (even if they afresh don’t charge blockchain).

We accept a demo, the badge contract, and go-metadium which is a go-ethereum fork.

51 commits advanced of go-ethereum. 202 commits abaft go-ethereum. Let’s see what they did in those 51 commits.

Started on Jun 27th.

Good git logs. Added a new blazon for metadium, in POA for now.

Changed block bearing behavior (not bad actually)

Good ability of go-ethereum, mostly aloof devOps changes so far.

Increased blocks to 100MB and added gas size. I assumption this is the “Enchanced Scalability, Game-Changing Expandability, Exceptional Performance”

Governance arrangement so that admins can add/remove members.

Mostly devops being again.

And that’s all we have.

Metadium Code Review Conclusion:

I don’t know, the changes they accept fabricated to go-ethereum aren’t inherently bad, but is cloning geth and authoritative some babyminding arrangement changes to PoA absolutely the way to go? Wouldn’t a dapp on ethereum accomplish added sense? Or if you accept to, run it on POA.

Seems kinda pointless.
