Hello, I'm Doniago. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Stephen Fry. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Aggelos Kiayias
Aggelos Kiayias is a Greek mathematician, computer scientist and cryptographer, whose research has included work on blockchain, e-voting and secure multiparty protocols, and privacy and identity management. He holds the Chair in Cyber Security and Privacy at the University of Edinburgh at the School of Informatics, is a member of the Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science and is director of the university’s Blockchain Technology Laboratory.

Education and career
Kiayias gained a doctorate from the City University of New York and is a graduate in mathematics department of the University of Athens. His doctorate dissertation, “Polynomial Reconstruction Based Cryptography”, was supervised by Stathis Zachos and Moti Yung.

In 2002, he joined the University of Connecticut where, as an assistant professor of computer science and engineering, he worked on wireless networks and security, computational complexity, digital rights management and e-voting. In 2016, a patent for secure wireless communication filed by four inventors at Airbus cited two papers from 2007 and 2011 with Kiayias as an author.

Kiayias then moved to the University of Athens before joining Edinburgh in 2016.

In 2016, Kiayias led a team that published an ePrint paper (number 889, dated September 12) describing Ouroboros, “the first blockchain protocol based on proof of stake with rigorous security guarantees”. This beat ePrint 919 about the Snow White proof-of-stake protocol from a team led by Elaine Shi at Cornell University by 10 days.

In 2017, IOHK, a blockchain technology company where Kiaiyias is the Chief Scientist, launched the Cardano blockchain and Ada cryptocurrency using Ouroboros. That same year, Kiayias started a blockchain course, making Edinburgh “one of the first big European universities to launch a blockchain course”.

Of the 12,000 publications on Google Scholar with the word ‘bitcoin’ in the title, a paper on the Bitcoin Backbone Protocol with Kiayias as one of the three authors is one of the 20 most-cited.

Of almost 300 publications on Google Scholar with the phrase ‘proof of stake’ in the title, the first Ouroboros paper is the most-cited.

In 2019, Kiayias published a cross-disciplinary paper with Emilios Avgouleas of Edinburgh’s law school, on “the ‘holy grail’ of systemic risk containment” and the potential for blockchains to create “a more diverse and resilient financial ecosystem”.

Talk page
Hey GreyStar456, seems like we are some of the few trying to add to the Cardano page in a constructive manner! Added a couple sources that we might be able to use for one or two sentences here and there on the Cardano talk page. :) Bob (talk) 20:46, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello Bob, I only started editing the Cardano page at uni because all the tech students were into it and a speaker at a careers masterclass suggested Wikipedia for editing experience. Grayfell and Gerard clearly have an anti-Cardano agenda and just do what they want. You probably saw that Grayfell literally invented reasons to brand me as a Cardano PR. I’ve never bought Cardano or any crypto and anything to do with it here is a battle. Is Wikipedia worth the effort? The sanctions stop other people getting involved. They’ve driven everyone off. I like a challenge but I just don’t have the time right now. Sorry. GreyStar456 (talk) 23:45, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * haha no worries, just checking in case you wanted some material to work with :) Sounds like some interesting experience for editing that is for sure! Good luck with the rest of your studies. You are correct it does seem Grayfell & Gerard have negative thoughts about cryptocurrencies despite them citing their need for "proper conduct". Under that guise they have already deleted a significant amount of relevant material. They have both also both used their status within wiki and threats of admin pages/ COI in numerous conversations. Personally quite shocked by the resistance about trivial things, they have created quite a toxic environment (or at least that's what it feels like). The only thing I have seen David upload / write about on the crypto pages is the most recent slanderous section about DARPA... literally going out of your way to only include negative information about Hoskinson from a source he knows is biased (a Coindesk editors). Meanwhile David has a huge COI - you know he literally wrote a book against cryptocurrencies? https://davidgerard.co.uk/ .... talk about conflict of interest I mean seriously messed up, he should be banned from crypto pages because of his obvious bias. Bob (talk) 13:35, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

September 2023
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Charles Hoskinson. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Grayfell (talk) 09:02, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
