View Toggle (User-friendly vs. cypherpunk) #33

Closed K-Ho closed 5 years ago

K-Ho commented 5 years ago

Have a toggle switch:

  1. Everyone is represented as Gerbils with names, transactions are represented as easy to view "checks" with gerbil A picture to gerbil B picture.

  2. Cypherpunk mode: Dark view, with a feel like shenzhen.io. Realistic view of the network: Every node is just an address, hovering over a transaction reveals the actual transaction json object with signature. Almost like a debug mode. maxresdefault 1

When working on Chapter 3, we could demonstrate sybil attacks well with this toggle. We show the cypherpunk view of a bunch of nodes transacting, and we randomly elect one of those nodes as the block proposer. It seems to work fine, until we toggle to the Gerbil view and realize that 95% of the nodes are all actually Mallory in the same place on the map.

Not a priority, will re-open if this changes
