Peter Zeitz is Research Fellow at 0x.

I am an academic economist with experience in the design of blockchain consensus systems and stablecoins. From 2011 to 2013, I proposed a series of novel proof-of-stake consensus algorithms as an anonymous hobbyist. While these proposals were initially greeted with great skepticism, they have come to exercise a tremendous influence on subsequent theoretical work and in many cases have inspired developers to code their own proof-of-stake implementations. Examples of projects that implement my original proof-of-stake proposals include Peercoin (2012), Nxt (2013), Bitshares (2014), and Decred (2016).

Concurrent with my work on proof-of-stake, I also proposed systems for the issuance of the blockchain derivative products now known as stablecoins. At the time, implementation of my stablecoin proposals depended on future advances in areas such as smart contracts and proof-of-stake based consensus. I found that the market was not ready for my stablecoin concepts in 2013 much as the market had not been ready for my proof-of-stake concepts in 2011 and 2012. Due to these difficulties, I shelved my research on stablecoins, keeping much of it secret and aiming to resume work once the market had matured sufficiently to fund my endeavors. With the explosion of funding for stablecoin startups over the past year, I am eager to make a move into this area, whether by joining an existing stablecoin team or organizing a new to team and launching my own venture.

Charlie Lee is Creator of Litecoin, ex-Director of Engineering at Coinbase.

Lee created Litecoin while working at Google, where he served as a Software Engineer. He worked on YouTube, Chrome, and Play Games.

Although Lee was immediately excited by cryptocurrency, he was unhappy with the early altcoins. He claimed that most didn’t offer any true differences or advantages over Bitcoin.

Thus, Lee created Litecoin in 2011. Its Scrypt proof of work function was meant to keep mining distributed and fair. Unlike most altcoins at the time, Litecoin was launched publically and had no premine. Lee also cut Litecoin’s block time from Bitcoin’s 10 minutes to 2.5 minutes.

Despite being the creator of Litecoin, Lee claims “that in order for Litecoin to succeed, Bitcoin must first become adopted by the mass”. He currently spends about 95% of his time working on Bitcoin projects.
