had the ideas of "sharding" explained to me this morning re why Casper is better than Ethereum
coinlist.co
Basically as each block in blockchain comes into being, it it carrying its entire set of transactions and attendant documents around the internet in an ever more unwieldy train of data, looking like a growing snake, and much of it is not necessary for future transactions unless and until called for, so, as the explainers were, like me, on-line gaming enthusiasts, they explained that by sharding, they mean the excess baggage is dropped, secured, and the trimmed down snake / combatant slithers away in the net not bogged down, and should whatever be called as necessary, the snake / combatant, in distributed fashion, knows where to pick up the excess baggage for whatever transaction going forward, and drop pack again once done.
Of course Casper supposedly does sharding in ways impossible for Ethereum, and is designed from the ground up to be future-proof w/ this one of several aspect as important
I have not a clue to judge, except to know there is one issue education.district0x.io called sharding
IOW Ethereum is put-a-fork-in-it toast, am told, per the disruptor / first-mover having gone the wrong way, shall be hunted down and stilled.
