Common mistakes

[CryptoOnion]

During the project we used the papers and including this project for getting started with the framework. We encountered some issues on our own and thought it makes the sense to improve it based on our experience.

Some parts of the papers were outdated and some minor things in this project too. Here is a summary of the changes we did:

Summary

  • Advise against blocking calls in fields
  • How to define a common main method
  • Add section explaining about subjective values
  • Explain not transmittable Remote[*]
  • Alternative local syntax

  • Transmittable upickle example (package declaration vs our companion objects)

• Clarify Optional peer definitions usage

• Fixes:

  • Fix some typos
  • Fix ability to run the examples like adding missing package declaration
  • Drop outdated placed[*] syntax

@JanisMittelstaedt I guess this one is not needed here.

We already have one open and close brace for the for-loop and a closing one later for the method.
