A
Alright
yeah
sure,
so
we
wanted
to
have
this
meeting
for
deciding
a
name
for
el
merch
client
code
name
to
provide
some
context.
A
Last
december
or
december
12th
ethereum
cat
headers
organized
a
breakout
room
meeting
for
consensus
layer
with
shy
way
from
the
ethereum
foundation
to
help
decide
the
cl
client
code
name
for
the
merge
and
l
team
that
consensus
layer
team
were
planning
to
have
the
name
based
on
b
star.
A
We
did
receive
good
nomination
and
some
unique
proposal,
and
after
the
voting,
the
winner
was
bellatrix
latin
name
for
female
warrior,
and
that
was
also
the
25th
brightest
shining
star
in
their
night
style.
So
today
we
are
looking
into
this
el
merch
client
code,
name
for
the
merch
upgrade
and-
and
we
have
received
good
nominations
here.
If
I
can
share
this
screen,
maybe
I'll
be
able
to
yeah
share
all
the
details,
please,
okay,
all
right!
So
tim
baker
started
this
thread
for
el
merch
client
release
naming
so
tim.
A
If
you
would
like
to
just
briefly
introduce
about
the
process
and
then
I
can
take
people
with
the
nominations
and
everything
else,.
B
Sure
I
I
mean,
I
think
yeah
most
people
on
this
scholar
are
probably
aware,
but
in
case
you're
not
we
have
this
thing
called
the
merge,
but
the
merge
refers
to
a
bunch
of
different
things
happening,
including
like
implementing
some
changes
in
the
execution,
consensus
layer
and
then
going
through
the
entire
transition,
where
we
hit
terminal
total
difficulty,
we
transition
to
proof
of
stake
and
we
finalize
a
block
on
the
proof
of
stake
side.
B
So
because,
like
the
merge
is
this
whole
thing,
the
actual
client
releases
that
support
this
functionality
or
like
a
subset.
We
usually
have
names
for
those
that
follow
specific
conventions,
and
people
didn't
want
to
just
call
this
the
merge.
So
here
we
are
trying
to
discuss
what
to
call
the
execution
layer
release
of
associated
with
the
merge.
A
That's
right,
so
we
have
received
quite
a
few
nominations
and
I'm
just
gonna
name
them
all.
All
these
nominations
are
already
available
on
the
fellowship
of
ethereum
magician
thread
that
we
looked
into
so
the
names
are,
one
is
sir
taleb.
I
don't
know
I
may
not
be
able
to
pronounce
it
properly.
It
was
actually
an
echo
of
bellatrix
right
and
we
received
quite
interesting
name,
so
I'm
just
gonna
have
one
line
definition,
for
whatever
nominations
we
have
received.
A
Next
one
is
malaspana
glacier
that
was
proposed
based
on
the
like
merger
of
multiple
glaciers.
Now
that
we
are
in
execution
layer
which
is
like
ethereum
main
net
and
that
had
seen
multiple
upgrades
to
push
the
difficulty
bomb
and
we
tried
to
name
the
name
glacier
with
the
difficulty
bomb.
A
Paris
was
proposed
as
like
first
massive
non-defcon
conferences,
because
even
in
on
the
execution
layer
side,
people
were
interested
to
have
the
name
based
on
city
that
is
related
to
defcon,
like
we
are
having
a
defcon
there
and
any
anything
related
to
defcon.
But
shanghai
was
already
taken
for
probably
the
next
upgrade.
So
this
was
the
proposal
to
have
someone
picked.
Some
name
picked
up
from
the
earlier
defcon
conference.
A
Finally,
this
is
like
one
of
a
kind
name
nomination
and
when
I
talk
to
the
proposer,
he
said
that
oh
I
didn't
have
anything
specific
in
my
mind,
it
was
just
like.
Finally,
this
is
happening
and
that's
why
I
want
to
propose
the
name.
Finally,
so
that's
how
we
receive
this
nomination
finally
serenity
most
of
the
people
related
with
the
x2,
because
we
have
this
like
serenity,
divided
into
phases
and
phase
zero
was
published.
A
There
is
this
proposal
2982,
which
talks
about
these
things,
but
that
was
also
proposed,
like
as
merging
the
el
and
cl
client,
because
the
merge
is
like
one
of
the
biggest
change
in
which
we
are
definitely
moving
towards
proof
of
stake.
The
main
algorithm
will
be
changed
horizon.
A
I
think
it
was
just
like
horizon
folk,
like
all
all
about
going
beyond
the
horizon,
and
it
says
that
it
fits
with
earlier
folk
name
like
we
had
homestead
frontier,
so
kind
of
horizon
there,
but
I
believe
what
should
be
of
importance
is
like
it's
not
the
entire
upgrade.
It
is
just
the
client
code
name
for
execution
layer,
client
that
they
can
add
it
to
the
codes
los
angeles,
that
is
another
city
name
that
was
proposed,
and
that
is
the
city
of
stars.
A
A
This
is
like
by
a
proposer
who
is
a
diver,
so
he
had
this
thing
added
based
on
on
his
experience.
So
it's
a
place
where
two
different
substances
meet.
A
Other
few
nominations
are
tigress,
no
relevance
was
provided
there,
terminus
end
of
transportation
line
and
the
personification
of
the
earth,
it's
a
short,
relatively
unique
and
may
pair
well
with
bellatrix,
so
yeah,
because
we
already
have
bellatrix.
So
this
is
another
thing
like
people
were
trying
to
propose
names
which
are
close
to
that.
That's
quite
interesting,
and
after
having
all
these
12
nominations,
what
we
did.
We
shortlisted
four
of
them
based
on
like
the
hearts,
the
the
love
that
they
have
received
in
the
fellowship
of
ethereum
magician
page.
A
So
we
just
are
trying
to
discover
a
method
how
people
are
supporting
their
proposal
and
how
they
are
voting.
So
that
was
the
first
thing
of
considering
shortlist
that
is
considered
from
fellowship
of
a
theater
magician
page.
A
The
first
one
was
with
the
highest
hearts
receiving
here,
and
that
was
hello
klein,
as
I
mentioned,
that
the
proposer
is
a
diver.
So
he
had
this
great
picture
in
mind
like
with
ocean
and
the
salt
composition.
A
Serenity
was
the
second
one
on
the
voting
side
from
the
fem
page,
paris
number
three
and
finally,
was
on
number
four.
After
that
we
also
had
this
twitter
poll.
We
did
a
twitter
poll
from
the
ethereum
cathedral
twitter
and,
if
you
look
into
this
chart,
serety
serenity
received
the
most
love.
It
is
32.9.
A
We
received
a
total
of
167
votes
and
and
based
on
the
poll,
what
we
did
finally
is
like
having
a
combination
of
both
voting
from
the
fem
plus
the
twitter,
and
I
have
just
added
here
like
hearts,
from
fem
and
twitter's
whatever
twitter
numbers
that
we
received
from
the
polling.
A
Looking
into
all
these
pictures,
it
looks
like
serenity
has
received
most
of
the
votes
come
in
combination
of
fem
plus
twitter,
so
that
is
so
far
that
I
have
got
to
share.
But
if
anyone
on
the
call
has
anything
that
they
would
like
to
talk
about
and
share
about
their
favorite
or
what
do
you,
what
they
would
think
about
the
entire
process
of
going
for
this
selection
of
name.
A
C
Yeah,
I
can
give
a
shot
at
making
a
case.
I
think
that
the
term
serenity
has
been
used
for
this
idea
of
moving
to
proof
of
stake
for
a
long
time,
and
I
realized
that
early
on
it
was
used
for
kind
of
the
ultimate
combination
of
proof-of-stake
and
sharding
and
with
the
merge
we
really
only
have
half
of
that.
But
I
feel
like
the
work.
C
This
is
like
a
very
typical
way
of
releasing
things,
and
so
I
think
like
in
the
future.
We
can
come
up
with
some
some
other
name
for
starting,
but
to
me
this
is.
This
is
one
of
like
the
most
important
upgrades
for
ethereum
and
I
would
be
like
very
comfortable
using
an
important
historic
upgrade
name
for
it.
B
Okay,
I
I
guess
I
my
disagreement
here
is,
I
feel,
like
it's
a
bit
unfair,
to
take
the
serenity
name
just
for
the
execution
layer,
so
I'd.
If,
if
we
called
like
the
merge
like
the
whole
process
or
anything,
I
think
I'd
be
more
in
favor,
but
I
think
the
fact
that
they
execute
the
consensus.
There
are
folks
having
the
latricks.
B
C
D
I
think
tim's
argument
that
this
would
be
stealing
from
intense
slayer
has
convinced
me
to
vote
for
serenity.
E
Yeah,
I
was
just
it's
an
interesting
point
where
it's
like.
Are
we
at
the
end
of
an
era
of
cities
and
metropolis
and
starting
a
new
era
within
serenity?
I
was
kind
of
previously
on
the
page
if
we
should
have
one
last
city
that
echoes
the
consensus
layers,
choice
of
using
stars,
but
I
really
like
the
forward-looking
nature
of
looking
towards
serenity
as
an
era
that
we're
starting
here,
I'm
also
very
compelled
by
tim's
point.
B
Yeah,
I
think
we,
I
think
you
could
make
an
argument
that,
after
the
merge
we
can
call
like
the
upgrade
where
we
do
sharding.
You
know,
serenity
and
keep
the
the
same
name
like
I
know.
Maybe
then
we
have
like
a
silly
name
or
there
might
be
some
names
across
both
layers
or
maybe
not
like.
I
think
the
upgrade
where
we
do
deploy
sharding
is
like
maybe
what
we
call
serenity
and
yeah.
I
I
do
agree
with
justin.
B
A
One
point
that
I
would
like
to
mention
here
is
like
serenity
and
paris.
They
are
very
close
if
we
look
into
the
voting
percentage
like
they
are
very
close,
just
by
nine
votes.
Serenity
is
ahead
of
paris
and
again
there
was
this
third
nomination.
Finally,
that
is
like
a
little
less
than
that,
but
obviously
we
are
considering
all
the
voting.
So
if
there
is
any
other
argument
for
paris
or
for
serenity,
please
go
ahead.
B
B
A
That's
interesting,
I
am
not
sure
like
when,
when
people
were
having
this
nominations
for
execution
layer
client,
it
was
not
specifically
mentioned
that
the
nomination
has
to
come
for
a
city
name
though
we
got
it
there,
so
yeah.
I
think
anything
that
the
present
group
decide
plus
the
voting
suggests
would
be
a
good
one.
Sorry,
I
think
I
saw
light
lined
unmuting.
B
A
D
E
A
E
B
So
we
might
keep
cities
if
you
know
like
shanghai,
the
city,
obviously
yeah,
and
there
is
a
world
where,
like
we
keep
this
like
three
name
structure,
I
know
some
people
hate
that
but
like
there's
a
world
where,
like
maybe
the
full
upgrade,
you
know,
has
like
a
specific
umbrella
name.
But
then
the
specific
client
releases
on
both
sides
have
like
sub
names.
So
like
yeah,
it
is
possible.
We
keep
this
sillies,
but.
C
A
So
if
we
can
get
amen
so
far,
I
can
find
two
names
to
support
for
paris
here
in
the
chat.
One
is
pari,
and
second
justin
just
said
that
by
twitter
poll,
the
difference
between
paris
and
serenity
is
nine,
though
from
the
fem
post.
A
B
C
A
A
And
if,
if
many
people
are
on
board
with
paris
and
paris
also
goes
with
the
the
process
of
selection
of
a
name
just
like
cl
team,
did
it
for
the
star
name?
And
we
are
picking
up
paris
which
is
closer
to
defcon,
if
not
the
like
future
devcon,
but
one
that
was
before
the
devcon
was
formally
started.
A
So
I
I
think
we
are
good
with
that
and
yeah
tim.
If
you
would
like
to
do
the
honor
of
like,
because
you
started
the
thread
and
the
discussion
and
all.
B
D
A
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
for
showing
up
and
yeah.
It
was
nice
to
see
all
these
people
coming,
on
which
I
was
definitely
not
expecting,
but
all
the
suggestions
coming
from
most
of
the
ethereum
developers
that
was
nice
to
have
and
coming
up
to
a
consensus,
saving
30
minutes
for
rest
of
the
people's
life.
