Blocktrades' back!
We're honored to once again have Blocktrades stop by the podcast and give his updates on the following blockchain based projects:
- The HAF (Hive Application Framework) which is designed to as Blocktrades put it...Let Hive go to the developers and speak in their language instead of having them come to the blockchain and try to learn ours!
- The Smart Contracts vs. SMT situation and why Hive is primed to become a haven for layer 2 solutions.
- A new airdrop....??? Whoa!!!
Hope you guys enjoy the show and thanks so much for tuning in :)

Question for @blocktrades
Does HAF have some kind of tradeoff with decentralization? Is it more secure to get data from a traditional full node?
Where's the HAF database stored?
A HAF server is very similar to an existing API node in the way it works, and in terms of it's trustworthiness. In other words, if you are using someone else's HAF server, then you're trusting it's data, just like you are trusting data from someone else's API node. And practically speaking, the same goes for trusting data from someone's else hived node. Any external service can be programmed to lie.
So if you want absolute security, you may choose to operate your own infrastructure (your own hived and your own HAF server). In this case, your own hived node, compiled by you from open source code, performs validation on all the data it receives, and you can read the code to verify it is doing the correct thing.
Alternatively, if you don't want to operate your own hived/HAF servers, but still don't want to rely on a single source of truth, you can ask for the same data from multiple public servers, to confirm that they are reporting the same information.
So once hivemind moves on top of HAF, there will be no need for API nodes as they are today? Basically, it would be just hived and HAF for a full node?
We'll be migrating hivemind itself to the HAF architecture, so yes, API nodes in the future will consist of a hived node plus one or more HAF apps. And we will likely see the emergence of API nodes that choose to support different subsets of API functionality.
You can store it wherever you want, you just point your HAF code at the postgres database server of your choice.
Well...I tend to forget but I usually get a reminder mid-week to leave some questions for Friday. I tend to forget otherwise.

I try to dance every day on camera to remind everyone lol
Great show guys! Thanks for doing the podcast consistently.
For sure man, it's been a blast so far :)
That was really interesting. I'm not sure I got everything accurately about HAF but this would mean that developers can query data from the blockchain using SQL? If I got that correctly, the entry level for creating apps on Hive would drop dramatically since many major programming languages have inbuilt SQL compatibility.
Yes, that's correct, that is one of the key "ease-of-use" benefits that HAF offers to programmers.
New airdrop? <3
Hive is the gift that keeps on giving!
I received this via whatsapp and I am not disappointed!
Interested to know more about SMT code tho.
Awesome to have you tune in :)
Yeah SMT's where something that was the focus of the previous blockchain, but we can tackle the need through Hive-Engine right now and the plans for smart contracts on layer 2 of Hive.
big future ahead :)
AAAH okay that's cool so no need to focus on that I suppose
I was already motivated to push my accumulation of Hive because of voting power for all 2nd layer tokens and the TBA Speak airdrop. Now I have another great reason, another airdrop probably after that. Wow, no wonder ya'll always say accumulate and always grow. There is probably more plans in the work on the backend of several other areas that have not yet been announced or leaked...More reasons to keep following the 3C's.
That's the game plan man...Literally, accumulate. Even if I get 1 Hive a day, I feel like it's a huge win.
Someone say airdrop? 👀

LOL My eyes lit up on the stream LOL
I saw that. :D
But that's a pretty heavy announcement!
