-# Ethereum Sharding Proof of Concept 
+# Ethereum Sharding Proof of Concept (EXPERIMENTAL) 
 
 This repository contains a proof of concept for a sharding implementation on Ethereum by Vlad Zamfir. 
-The project was built during [ETHBerlin](http://ethberlin.com/), over 2 days, and should *not* be considered final nor production grade. There are probably major bugs/issues.

-## Getting started
-
-The dependencies of the simulation (run with ```python simulator.py```), are satisfied by this Dockerfile:

+## Launching docker
 
 ```
-I build it with ```sudo docker build --tag py3web3mpl . ```, then run the container from the ```ethshardingpoc``` repo, mounting it as a docker volume with the command:
-```
-sudo docker run -it --net=host --env="DISPLAY" --volume="$HOME/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority:rw" --volume "$(pwd)":/ethshardingpoc py3web3mpl
+$ docker run -it --net=host --env="DISPLAY" --volume="$HOME/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority:rw" --volume="usr/ethshardingpoc" py3web3mpl
 ```
-Note that it uses X11 to display matplotlib, so please use it at your own risk, maybe by running the simulation in the container:
+
+## Running the simulator
+
 ```
-cd ethshardingpoc && python simulator.py 
+python3.6 simulator.py 
 ```
+
+__Note: this uses X11 to display matplotlib, so please use it at your own risk__
