چکیده

We present atomic trade protocols for Bitcoin and Ethereum that can bind two parties to swap coins in the event that two blockchains emerge from a single “pre-fork” blockchain. This work is motivated by a bet between two members of the Bitcoin community, Loaded and Roger Ver, to trade 60,000 bitcoins in the event that Bitcoin Unlimited’s planned hardfork occurs and the blockchain splits into two distinct forks. Additionally we study several ways to provide replay protection in the event of hardfork alongside a novel mechanism called migration inputs. We provide a detailed survey and history of previous softforks and hardforks in Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Do Deviations from Investor Preferences Signal Informed Trading?

This paper provides a novel method for identifying informed institutional trading. I argue that, given an information signal about a stock, an investor’s tastes for certain characteristics of that stock can influence his decision to trade on the information.
