How To Decentralize Virtual Communities? The widespread use of social media has changed the way we communicate, however, not everyone thinks these changes are positive. For example, the lack of strict moderation of social media content has contributed to the spread of misinformation during the COVID-19 outbreak.Even before COVID-19, many users were unsatisfied of how social media platforms were addressing disinformation, censorship, privacy, political neutrality, user control, and malicious activity. Decentralized social networks and communities are more flexible than centralized ones, but they provide more opportunities for the disadvantages that are suppressed in centralized communities. This is the small paradox of decentralized communities. 52.

Our Social Media is Broken & No One Knows How to Fix It While I sit down to write, like any procrastinating writer of our times, I look for excuses that will keep me from the task at hand.

Alex Gladstein on Why Bitcoin Matters for Freedom

Sceptics say current VR headsets are clunky, heavy, uncomfortable diving masks that won’t make their way to people’s homes. Well, I agree, but with one significant exception — the technology is moving lightning fast. Even if you are a true VR evangelist with a tattooed Oculus or Vive logo on a shoulder, you have to admit current-gen headsets will never get mass adoption. Because for now, Virtual Reality means being tied up to an expensive PC in the prison cell of a Guardian system. It’s just not that virtual freedom we were all dreaming about. However, there is one crucial thing that we forgot. It’s called “progress.” And it smashes everything on its way. In less than 2 years of VR-consumer-version era headsets became completely wireless, field of view doubled, and the resolution tripled. In fact, VR technologies are evolving much faster than consumer versions of headsets can be released. In the series of weekly articles called “ ” I will guide you through the world of the latest and most promising tech that will finally make the next computing platform. Behold The Next Generation VR Technology VR Mostly on the early stage of development, all this tech will be implemented in consumer version headsets during the next 10 years. Some sooner, some later. I divided this series into parts — one part for every vital aspect of VR . This one is about: technology Avatars VR is not only for being anywhere you want, it’s also for being anyone(or anything) you want. A photorealistic scan of yourself, a bounty hunter from space or a can of beans with cartoony hands — you are free to choose. Corporate meetings in VR app Rumii / Source: DOGHEAD SIMULATIONS Avatar diversity in VRChat / Source: VRChat Inc. From a corporate-style photo on LinkedIn to the Solid Snake picture on Steam, your online representation changes depending on context, mood, environment, goals and a bunch of other circumstances. So will your VR avatars. For corporate style VR meetings some stylized lookalike version of you is perfect. It’ll help others get a clue who they are talking to. For some dating activities or a conference, it’s more likely that you use a more realistic version, like a 3D scan. And in some fun social VR apps, boundaries are erased completely. Minutes ago you joined the ranks of annoying Uganda Knuckles, and now you are marching with cute anime Neko cats as one of them. So, it’s clear there is a bunch of different uses of avatars, but only two options to create one (know more? add in comments). First is to use an in-app editor, second is to upload a pre-made 3D model. And creating is fun: you can choose hairstyles, sunglasses, makeup, and eye color, make it taller or lower. But if you want to make a somewhat realistic copy of you(for a company profile, for example), choosing the right face parts from the range of thumbnails might become a little hard to tackle. Rather than going through the process of choosing face parts that match your appearance, wouldn’t it be awesome if an avatar could be created automatically? / Source Loom.ai Full video That’s exactly what Y-Combinator’s is working on. Their technology lets you create a 3D avatar face merely from one selfie. Loom.ai They are using a trained AI, which can identify the geometry of your face using visual clues from the 2D picture. As a result, it creates a 3D model provided with a facial musculature rig that has been adapted to fit any face. They also claim they factored out the lighting from the photograph, so your 3D avatar can be immersed into new environments with different light conditions. That means you get the fully interactive and ready to use model of your face, that can be utilized in any virtual world you want. At first, I was surprised that Oculus hadn’t bought them yet, especially since Facebook has photos of more than 2 billion people. But it turned out they are already working on their own solution. While the face 3D model creation is cool, there might be a demand for full-body scanning. Why “might be”? You see, it’s not that clear yet. As for avatars, I believe users might want their look more similar to the original than their . Because why do they need to scan their body in the first place, if they can use a model of let’s say an interplanetary space suit or a medieval armor? face torso The only use-case I came up with is virtual dating. When things get serious, you know 😉. doob 3D scanning booth / Source: doob usa inc. ShapeScale’s sensor scans the athlete — / Source: SHAPE LABS INC. Full video For that(avatar creation, of course!) you can already find an extremely rare scanning booth, take off your clothes and let it go. Or use a similar tech uses for its fitness app. doob 3D ShapeScale The Kinect-like sensor captures your body from close-up at a high resolution and uses infrared(IR) light dots to measure the distance between you and the sensor. First, it scans those IR dots to form a point cloud of over 2 million points that line up in the shape of your body. Connected they generate a mesh, and the 3D model is created. The sensor also takes hundreds of pictures and stitches them together to map a realistic texture of your body and clothing. The result is a highly precise scan of yourself. While this tech is nothing new, it could replace 2D photography in future smartphones, so we could scan everything and use it in VR later. Just imagine what it would be if Snapchat becomes a Scanchat? I bet you get the point 😉. The truth is, there are already some prototypes out there, so the consumer version is close. Oh wait, what about the fun use-cases? What to do if you want to become a small red hedgehog-like creature wearing white spiky gloves? (God, I can’t stop doing it) For now, to create one of these you have to deal with the game engine, 3D modeling software, rigging software. You have to spend hours to create a new avatar if there’s no in-app editor. And it should not be there! People of OASIS, the action adventure movie “Ready Player One” — / Source: Warner Bros. Pictures Full video Creating an avatar is about total freedom. No editor in the whole world can make such a boast. And thank God some devs understand that and let you upload avatar models to their apps. Unfortunately, there is no other way than mastering some 3D modeling software. I haven’t seen the technology, that can create an avatar based on what you tell it or, for example, what picture you upload. But what is clear that as social VR will arise, the demand for avatar creation will be increasing. For the next 10 years, there will be a shift in a virtual identity. As in real life, in Virtual Reality, everybody will want to be unique. And who knows to what solution this need will lead us to. A platform for avatar artists(new job?), AI 3D modeling algorithms? VR is an infinite world with an endless possibility to be who you want to be, at any time. It’s an integral part of its magic. And digitalization of yourself is just the first step for virtual and real worlds to become more connected. But not only your self will become virtual, the environment will become too. How? You’ll see it in the next episode. Learned something? Follow me to learn even more next time.

Behold The Next Generation VR Technology: Part 3 — Avatars

what it is and what it means for the future of humanity. Intro VCs see crypto as another Pérez technological revolution ’ canonical work on ,) has become the VC community’s goto framework for describing the regular patterns of technology change and economic growth observed within the economy: Carlota Perez technological revolutions , Marc Andreessen: “the single best book to understanding how this [software] industry works.” : “ ” Fred Wilson based his investment thesis on the concepts in this book. : “ ” Chris Dixon Technological revolutions happen in two main phases However, crypto is far more than just the next technological revolution. Crypto has the power to fundamentally solve the innovation problem and unlock our species technological future. Let’s take a look at Perez’ description of previous technological revolutions, before investigating the nature of crypto. Pérez Technological revolutions and techno-economic paradigms Great surges of development Pérez observes that over the past 250 years, great surges of development have occurred in predictable cycles (also referred to as Kondratievs, long-waves), spanning ~50 years (see figure 1 below). Figure 1 — three centuries of great surges An obvious question: is crypto the next technological revolution? Physical technologies, technological revolutions and techno-economic paradigms Within Pérez’ framework, each technological revolution is propelled forward by clusters of interrelated, productivity-increasing technologies. Let’s use complexity economist- Eric Beinhocker’s definition, of: : “methods and designs for transforming matter, energy, and information from one state into another in pursuit of a goal or goals.” Physical technologies Beinhocker Examples of physical technologies: Tools Spacecrafts Computers <a href="https://medium.com/media/d04cbf02e69c796f058fd4322ff325ea/href">https://medium.com/media/d04cbf02e69c796f058fd4322ff325ea/href</a> Examples of crypto physical technologies: Cryptographic primitives (one-way hash functions, public key cryptography, digital signatures) Merkle trees Protocols Crypto wallets Now, Perez defines a as: technological revolutions ** **an interconnected system of productive technologies, with the ability to transform the wealth-creating potential of the entire economy, “ “ Perez’ definition of a technological revolution fits well the suite of crypto technologies, from cryptographic and cryptoeconomic primitives through to smart contracts, consensus mechanisms and DAOs. Further, Perez defines a as: techno-economic paradigm “a best-practice logic and ideology for the application of these technologies. “ Again, techno-economic paradigm is an apt description of the set crypto ideologies comprising: censor-resistance, privacy, collective ownership, open-source and decentralisation. So far, crypto fits well within the Perez descriptive framework. Shaping of Pérez technological revolutions According to Pérez, the diffusion of [physical] technological revolutions occurs within two periods. During the core industries and infrastructure are put in place, against the resistance of society and institutions still in the grip of the previous techno-economic paradigm. Only once this resistance has been overcome can the follow, during which the technological revolution spreads across the entire economy. installation period deployment period This interplay between physical technologies and socio-institutional resistance, results in the Pérez Technological Surge Cycle (see figure 2 below). Figure 2 — Perez Technological Surge Cycle According to several eminent VCs, crypto is another such technological revolution which is following the Perez Technological Surge Cycle: & Placeholder Thesis Summary “Using the work of Carlota Perez in Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital (2002) as a framework, we believe crypto is transitioning from irruption to frenzy “ Joel Monegro Chris Burniske “ 2017 is the year when crypto/blockchain entered the frenzy phase” Fred Wilson Certainly, Perez‘ work constitutes a major contribution to our understanding the diffusion of physical technological revolutions within the economy. However, crypto is not foremost a physical technological revolution, crypto is primarily a set of a socio-institutional technologies. The nature of the crypto technological revolution Crypto is primarily a technological revolution social Whilst the crypto set of technologies includes physical technologies, crypto’s most impactful technologies are social, organisational and institutional technologies: for ‘building economic and social institutions’, and “executing the types of rule-systems (i.e. smart contracts, DAOs) that enable bespoke socio-economic coordination”, Economics of Blockchain “I .”, think they’re a fundamentally new way of organizing humans Naval Ravikant Crypto is primarily a , which we define as: social technology “methods and designs for organizing people in pursuit of a goal or goals.” Beinhocker Examples of social technologies: Institutions Laws Ledgers Language Money Examples of social technologies within Crypto: Cryptoeconomic primitives (TCRs, stable coins) Cryptocurrency & tokens Blockchain ledgers Consensus mechanisms Smart contracts Governance mechanisms (Futarchy, DAO Democracy) Decentralised organisations (DAOs, DACs) As a social technological revolution, the nature of that have occurred over the past 250 years. crypto is fundamentally different to the succession of physical technological revolutions The nature of the crypto social technological revolution The crypto social technological revolution has multiple impacts on society, institutions and the economy: Smart contracts not only automate transactions, they also , enabling more [efficient execution of transactions](http://Oliver E. Williamson - Wikipedia) versus traditional institutions. reduce opportunism and uncertainty Crypto supports new types of organizations (including DAOs and DACs), that . compete with and shrink the boundaries of traditional firms Crypto will make viable , currently deemed too complex or costly to administer (e.g. micro-payments, complex, multi-party contracts, direct democracy). new types of transactions The tokenization of business models enables more precisely aligned, more powerful incentives, which: “ represents a new, trustless mode of social and economic coordination and governance ” that “lets you easily instantiate a new human-computer organization out of the box .” ( Jacob Horne ) Cryptoeconomics fuses capital and technology within token models and provides direct access to investors- increasing the bandwidth of venture financing. “Three years ago, a 20 year old man’s fledgling non-profit raised $20 million, on the basis of a whitepaper and a software prototype. A year later, the public net launched. Two years (now), it’s a $30 billion ecosystem and investors made 1000x. This is Ethereum; and it’s quite remarkable. It’s changing the world.” Trent McConaghy So whilst physical technological revolutions are resisted, until society and institutions adapt and organise around the new paradigm, the crypto social technological revolution is upgrading this adaptive and organising capability itself. Novelty and complexity through recombining building blocks As complexity scientist observes, technology is made-up of building blocks which recombine in novel ways to form increasingly complex hierarchies of technologies. Crypto’s open source paradigm enables the selection and replication of technology and business model building blocks that fosters accelerated 3-way co-evolution between physical technologies (e.g. solutions to scalability), social technologies (e.g. cryptographic primitives such as TCRs) and business models (such as decentralising ownership and rewarding early users). (See for more detail on this model.) W. Brian Arthur Beinhocker “If you wanted to go off the deep end, you could go as far to say that they are quantifiable building blocks of the internet hive mind. “ Jacob Horne <a href="https://medium.com/media/35f45f049b1a4d12ed54cab9328364c0/href">https://medium.com/media/35f45f049b1a4d12ed54cab9328364c0/href</a> However, crypto will not only accelerate the rates of evolution of technology and economic growth, it has upgraded the evolutionary mechanism itself. Crypto has upgraded the heredity mechanism of human-computer organisations Complex systems including organisms and economies, typically pass through a number of metasystem transitions as they scale. “A metasystem transition is the emergence, through evolution, of a higher level of organization or control.” For example, within nature, the mechanism of heredity- the genome, has itself evolved from proteins, to RNA, to the more stable and accurately replicating DNA molecule. The evolution of DNA, as an evolutionary substrate, supported more complex life forms and constituted a transition for the complex adaptive system of Earth’s ecology. metasystem Schematic timeline of information and replicators in the biosphere: major evolutionary transitions in information processing Likewise, the most profound difference between the crypto and capitalist economies is also the mechanism of heredity. Within the crypo-economy, designs for physical technologies, social technologies and business models are encoded within the more stable and programmable evolutionary substrate of blockchains. The parallels between DNA and Crypto metasystem transitions are profound: “language which has evolved through DNA, speech, writing and now software at each stage this symbolic code has carried the evolution of order “ . Pierre Levy This evolution of the mechanism of heredity within crypto will likewise support more complex human-computer organisms. “Blockchains are digital organisms. As organisms evolve through changes in their DNA, blockchain protocols evolve through changes in their code. And like biological organisms, the most adaptive blockchains will be the ones that survive and thrive.” Fred Wilson Ralph Merkle “Bitcoin is the first example of a new form of life. It lives and breathes on the internet. It lives because it can pay people to keep it alive.” Crypto is set to induce a of more complex computer and human-computer organisms within this new system of “ Cambrian explosion generative technology as biology . ” In order to predict the potential impact of Crypto, we need to review the impact of previous social technology meta-innovations. What the Crypto Technological Revolution means to humanity Crypto is an ST meta-innovation on the scale of writing, the scientific method and markets We find that each of the following social technology meta-innovations has triggered a metasystem transition in human social and economic orders: - enabled the first sophisticated social systems ~30,000BC Language — domestication of plants and animals enabled the move from hunter-gatherers to villages and eventually civilization~12,500 BC Agricultural revolution - led to the first civilizations, and the basis of human knowledge ~5,000BC Writing The - created an explosion in human knowledge and rate of technological progress ~1750 scientific method Joint stock - drove exponential growth in economic complexity and wealth, and formation of capitalism (see diagram below)~1850 companies and financial markets Digital economy / and the - 1990 computing internet — transition to a generative system of ‘technology as biology’ 2009…? Crypto Taking one example: the scientific method created an explosion in human knowledge and accelerated the clock speed of technological progress. In combination with joint stock companies and financial markets, science-fuelled technology spurred the formation of the modern, capitalist economic order and drove exponential growth in economic complexity and wealth (see figure 3). And all this through accelerating the process of innovation: the commercialisation of invention. Figure 3 — Exponential growth in Economic Wealth from 1750 (Beinhocker) So what impact could crypto have? What is crypto’s potential impact on humanity? To recap, the crypto meta-innovation has the potential to: upgrade society and the economy’s adaptive and organising capability accelerate the rates of technological evolution and economic growth upgrade the evolutionary mechanism of heredity to support a of more complex computer and human-computer organisms Cambrian explosion Crypto has the potential not just to increase innovation, but to accelerate the rates of technological evolution and economic growth to such a degree that we fundamentally solve the innovation problem. This would trigger a metasystem transition to a post-scarcity, post-capitalist cryptoeconomy of abundance, whilst solving for our species-threatening negative externalities (see ’s excellent post on , and the visionary of ). Rhys Lindmark evolving the phase shift to cryptocapitalism work Michael Haupt But this would just be the beginning. With these capabilities, humanity’s purpose could switch from sustenance to literally reaching for the stars, and advancing along the (see ’s for getting there): Kardeshev scale Trent McConaghy map Type 0 civilisation controls less than the energy incident on home planet Type I civilisation controls entire energy incident on home planet Type II civilisation controls entire energy emitted from on home star Type III civilisation controls entire energy emitted from home galaxy Type IV civilisation controls entire energy emitted from home universe Type V civilisation controls entire energy emitted from multiple universes <a href="https://medium.com/media/8c6c6c7291329cd16e0bba5ee49826d5/href">https://medium.com/media/8c6c6c7291329cd16e0bba5ee49826d5/href</a> This may all seem very farfetched, but when you look back at life’s journey and the evolution of order from inorganic matter, through organic molecules, proteins, RNA, DNA, computers and now blockchains you can see that we have actually come farther than we have left to go… About the author As an academic in the field of innovation and business model strategy, who has built and led billion dollar digital platform businesses; Justin now researches, consults and advises businesses on how to disrupt and transform industries using decentralised business models.

What is IssueHunt Fest? IssueHunt Fest is a month-long OSS sponsorship event that happens every year in April and December. IssueHunt Fest 2018 will be the first time commemorable event. At the event, IssueHunt collects funds from sponsors and distribute the funds to OSS projects listed on IssueHunt. Help us build sustainable open source community by participating IssueHunt Fest 2018! Date and time of the event:Starts: December 1, 2018 Ends: December 25, 2018 The economics of open source. Open-source software is the essential infrastructure of the internet stack.OSS consumes developers’ creativity and labor. Developers’ unpaid labor build OSS. Before we build IssueHunt, we managed open-source software Boostnote, a note-taking app for developers. The project got over 11k+ Github stars in two years, and hundreds of developers contributed to our project. _A markdown editor for developers on Mac, Windows and Linux. - BoostIO/Boostnote_github.com BoostIO/Boostnote Initially, we made IssueHunt as bounty program for Boostnote. The concept of IssueHunt worked very well where many issues resolved in a few days. Our experience with Boostnote, made us realize issue based open-source bounty has the potential to improve the open-source ecosystem overall. We think enthusiastic open source developers are not appropriately rewarded no matter how much they contribute to the technology evolution.Many leading projects use open-source software, but no matter how they are essential, the owners of those projects juggle multiple jobs to sustain their living. We want to fix this situation by nurturing a healthy open-source ecosystem. What can we do to return the favor to OSS developers?IssueHunt enables us to reward OSS developers from small amount as a glass of beer. Start creating a sustainable open source ecosystem together with .

IssueHunt Fest 2018: Make open source sustainable

I’m addressing to the english speaking crypto community because such a community didn’t really exist in my language. I’m verry sorry for my level in english, I’ll hope that I’m understandable enough to be comfortably read and to participate adequately to the debate. Disclaimer: Hi there ! (kind of a second disclaimer :) ) My nickname is Sybille and I’m a KryptoNoob, I keep asking myself cryptonoob questions, because I want to understand what all of this fuzz is about. I’m reading a lot of articles about cryptocurrency, blockchain, coins, ICO and all that jazz in the cryptoworld. Sometimes I even dare to put a comment or ask a question on a medium article, but without having much answer, so far… That’s telling me that maybe I’m so noob that I’m asking questions that no one would bother to answer, that I’m not the center of the world (and that’s a shame), and maybe that my english isn’t good enough, and that while I believe that I can express myself in this language, I’m in fact leaving in a fantasy world where my ideas and speeches appear clearly in my mind and sounds as a strange borborygmi for others. But you know what ? I’m a cryptonoob enthusiast ! So enthusiast in Fact, that I have invested 1 000 euros in the cryptogame (and I’m doing it even if the french government tax any capital gain in crypto up to 60% !). I wanted to wait until I have fully understand what it is about and I’m still trying to learn things about it, but I have read so much blockchain enthusiasts saying that it’s in the way social life is organized since we stop being hunter-gatherer and began to live in large centralized and vertical community were the power is so much unequally distributed, that finally I just fell for it. And also (maybe it is the true untold reason, but not for long…), I want to be super rich without working too much (Don’t judge me — Well, I’m not sure that 1 000 euros will be enough though). the thing of a generation and even a new cycle So here it is : the blockchain ! Decentralized wide community, that create trust beyond verbal and written promises. A technology that promise to bind our words by the magic of computing (it’s probable that computing machine will be magic to me for the rest of my life). That sounds really great and exciting to me ! And I want to believe in it, and I want that computing make our communities, exchanges and life better. Technologies, social rules, laws and cultures define how wealth and power are distributed and organized. The question of the distribution of wealth and power is the central, the only question, that must govern our thoughts when we think about politic. Isn’t it ? And this time, technologie seems to be able to redefine how the whole system works. So I still have my noob, unanswered critics, questions, beliefs and remarks that I wan’t to share with the cryptocommunity :) ! Here they are : About blockchain in general : The big problem : the centralisation of computing ! (so, is it a problem ? Maybe you can tell me ?! :-) ) **What I think I have understood :**There is a mining process that guarantee the transactions, the decentralized system of computing and validation of the blocks partly guarantees the openness and security of the system, and the ones who are giving there computing power are rewarded by . coins If it works like this the main risk is the centralisation of the whole computing process, I see it happening for 2 reasons : 1. Because there is a scale advantage about doing it this way ! Like in the mining world of gold, in the beginning, everybody tried to mine it by him-herself, after a while giant companies emerged and optimized the process, and now the top 10 companies control one third of the production. For the blockchain it’s even more likely that the centralisation of the production will occure, because there are no geographical issue in the computing process. And it’s already happening, for the Bitcoin at least. If, say, an oligopole of blockchain minning companies appears, the system will be no more a decentralized one, and we can even imagine that the two or three main companies could easily manipulate the market or the ledger for their own profit.2. Aren’t we going to go to a world where most of the computing power will be concentrate in the hand of the GAFAM ? Especially with the 5G ! As I see it, if we get a powerful, worldwide (or at least countrywide) and reliable Mobile Internet System, we won’t need to keep the computing power on our devices, and a centralized computing system will be more efficient and cheaper to run. In this case the computing power will be centralized, just cause it costs less, and the same risk as in point 1 will emerge. Why is it a problem : Wouldn’t this 2 factors, or to sum it up the centralization of the computing power, jeopardize the future of any decentralized blockchain system, or is this not a problem at all in a blockchain world ? Or maybe you think that it’s a problem but that it won’t happen ? Teach me ! I’d like to know ! Question : A question about the smart contract : SmartContracts execute themselves and permit to avoid any third party that are normally needed to secure the transaction, it’s a bit like if the words of anyone become even more reliable as the ones of my most trusted friend ! sounds great :) ! What I think I have understood : When we make a smart contrat how is it executing itself automatically ? I didn’t understand it fully ! Cause, I mean, in a contract you have to get a human validation like : ‘hey I have well get the product !’ or : ‘the service has been delivered in the quality and quantity expected’. Doesn’t the contract still need the validation of a third party if people disagree, just like what Amazon, the banking or the judicial system are doing ? For exemple, if I buy a Bitcoin by myself how does the blockchain know that I have paid for it ? So, again, teach me ! Which part of the contrat is executing by itself, or by the blockchain process ? As you can see I’m missing something. But I don’t know what… Question : About Security : It’s so secured and well designed that its not even worthwhile to attack it ! What I think I have understood : The infrastructure around the blockchain, seems to be very unsecured ! Very good, you can’t forge the blockchain, but or . I don’t know for sure if Bitcoins is less secure than the USD system in proportion of the level of exchange and value, but it seems like it. But : you can steal the coin during the ICO you can steal it from the wallet Maybe the security and guarantee of the infrastructures of the companies around the blockchain aren’t yet at the level of the bank system ? But well, isn’t the blockchain created to precisely avoid the bank system ? Question : I think that the absence of central authority and identity recognition at a social level (in the Fiat world, we have for exemple the banking system and the judicial system) poses several problems to secure well the blockchains coins, cause for a cyberburglar this kind of value, anonymous and untraceable seems to be the perfect target. What is your opinion about this question ? Maybe the blockchain itself could be program to be better secured ? Or is this an invalid question ? About Bitcoin in particular : I see a lot of problems about bitcoins that might jeopardize the possibility of using it as a world currency : The concentration issue : , and the Bitcoin could hit the million dollars mark. Won’t we have a 1000 of Jeff Bezos if this currency hit the Million Dollars mark !? And Satochi will be 10 times richer than Bezos…Isn’t it a big inequality issue ? And also, just something that won’t happen because it’s seems unlikely (I know that it’s a very feeble argument… but it’s the one frome my guts : maybe my guts aren’t ready yet). If 40% of the market is owned by 1 000 people, it’s easy for them to manipulate the market and the prices if there is not an independent regulator. How could we prevent the main Bitcoin’s owner to manipulate the market (like doing a lot of transactions between there own wallets at a high price and selling some for real to cryptonoob like me) ? And won’t the risks of this concentration appeal for a new and less concentrated Bitcoinlike currency ? What I think I have understood : 40% of the bitcoins are owned by 1 000 people Remark : Question : The costs to operate the Bitcoin blockchain : The blockchain cost a lot to be operate. But Bitcoin can change to be more efficient to operate. Is such a change likely to happen ? About the cost in itself does it costs more to operate than the USD ? for example, USD needs : The Fed, Printed Money, Police, Army, ATM, banks, a judicial system… ? Is there a fair comparaison between the cost of Bitcoin and USD ? Or maybe again this question is irrelevant because we cannont compare the two ? What I think I have understood : Question : So here it is ! Here are (some of) my remarks and questions about the blockchain. I thank you very much in advance if any reader is willing to help me understand more about it. I’m aware that those questions and remarks might just be irrelevant and dumb from the point of view of a blockchain expert. I hope that she or he will explain to me (and my fellow cryptonoob) why and what is that I’m so wrong or not, or direct me to the right content that might help me to understand better all of this. Because I genuinely want to understand how blockchain works and what it could be. Kisses, Sybille

Questions and Remarks From A KryptoNoob Enthusiast !

Calling All Writers: Learn What the Opt-Out Writing Contest is All About From The Āut Labs' Team

Heyo, Hacker! is designed by our friends at Āut Labs with themes and ideas for you to enter the Opt Out Writing contest. This writing prompt Click here to write with this template. See the contest announcement . Learn how to enter the contest . here here Theme 1: . Opt out of a System that doesn’t represent you #autonomy: : Explore the critical role of autonomy in decentralized systems like DAOs. Consider focusing on how Āut’s mission and products (i.e.: Nova, ĀutID, ĀutOS, …) enhance this. You can tell us about Roman’s , Greek’s , French or some role-based, [dys/u]topian society that is yet to come. Autonomy in Decentralized Systems, Collectives and DAOs triumvirates poleis communes - : Remember the “ ” in the Berlin of the 90ies? We love that vibe. Consider the intersection of autonomy in art, technology, and activist reforms - highlighting innovative approaches based on autonomy of one or multiple parties. As well as how these parties can play together to take down a censoring, centralized, self-absorbed Moloch. Autonomy in Art, Technology, and Activism hacker labs : Tell us a story on how a “ ” may look like. Are we aiming towards a dystopian, whole-state surveillance, or towards the highest level of individual autonomy and collective productivity that humankind has ever seen? Anything worse? Anything in between? Reshape the future workplace and work culture, especially imagining a world where decentralized organizations actually made it. Autonomy in the Workplace workplace of the future : . Is different for DeFi degens vs. artists & writers vs. political scientists & philosophers vs. governance vs. devs & mathematicians? Feel free to tackle them all at once, tell us a story about one of them - or create a role-based governance model that is going to take the future generations by storm. Role-specific Autonomy 50 shades of Autonomy autonomy : Square and simple. What is , isn't it a paradox in terms, and what does that even mean? Yeah, all that jazz. You can take a mathematical angle, invent new game-theorical rules of the game, or just make up a story that even for a second lets us suspend our disbeliefs. Collective Autonomy Collective Autonomy #identity: : What is identity in the digital space? Is it a mere reflection of what we are offline, or is it an augmented version of ourselves? Is there a “minimum viable tech stack” that can be combined to create verifiable individuals? This is an open prompt - feel free to take it from a technical or philosophical standpoint. And be provocative - we aim for non-trivial answers only on how digital technologies enable new forms of identity, personal expression and verification. Identity in the Digital Space : That’s an obvious one. How identity evolved over the centuries. Did we “mature” as a society? Did technology change what we are as individuals? Are humans different in their [self-awareness; proprioception; way to perceive others] or we did nothing but taking a long stroll from Stone Age to Technocracy? The History of Identity : we talk DAOs, distributed nations, on-chain agencies. But what are individuals within groups? Is collective intelligence a “flattening model” that blurs individuality within collectives, or it turns each individual actor into a needed, recognizable tile of the puzzle? And what is the threshold between individual and collective identity? This is a difficult one - new models, visual graphs, and brand-new, DAO-shaking processes are encouraged. Collective Identity : from Metaverses and NFTs, to basic PGP and SSIDs. How can an ID be as unstoppable, and uncensorable on one side, as it is credible, and reliable on the other? Please, be as geeky as needs be - use your tech-knowledge and understanding as an act of civil disobedience. On-chain Identities : This is our Sci-fi prompt. Tell us stories. Speculate on how identity will evolve in decentralized societies. On how they will impact individuality. For this prompt you can share your tech journal, tell us personal identity narratives, or even invent on-chain personas and breed them to NFT perpetual life. Whatever works. The Evolution of Identity in Decentralized Societies #selfsovereignty: : What is -sovereignty? Why it matters? “ ” is already a long, difficult word per se - so why did we even feel the need to add the prefix “ ” there? This is all about the inalienable individuals’ right to privacy and selective disclosure. Give us self-sovereignty straight, or explore it in a specific context. The Essence of Self-Sovereignty self Sovereignty self- : Provide real-world examples or case studies where self-sovereignty is effectively implemented. Can’t find any? Even better. Make one up, and let’s make it happen together. Self-Sovereignty in Action : This is a big one. As the Anarchist proverb goes, . But what are the borders of this personal freedom? Should self-sovereignty self-enforce in decentralized social/community contracts? Or we should somehow “hardwire” a sort of collective ethos beforehand, into the decentralized smart contracts that will govern us all? Balancing Self-Sovereignty and Collective Responsibility one can only be free if everyone else is free : Think of DeFi credit score, think of UBI. Is a self-sovereign, verifiable ID enough to automate the individual and collective distribution of wealth? Or we still need/want/expect “watchmen” to supervise that all goes smooth - and to potentially deem liable if something goes wrong? Self-Sovereignty in Financial Systems : Should we really be limited by old-world concepts such as “1 person : 1 Identity/vote/seat”? Or meritocracy means that we should be able to enforce a self-sovereign right to multiplicity in the digital space, as long as we can handle our multifaceted selves? To Sybil or not to Sybil Open Prompts: : The old, best writing advise: write about what you know. From literature, to robotics, to the legal system - write about one of the contest topics in relation to a specific field you are deeply knowledgeable or passionate about. [#autonomy; #identity; #selfsovereignty] in [insert field] This is a quote that we like, from J.P. Proudhon. To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality. , - Pierre-Joseph Proudhon The General Idea of the Revolution Explore it in the key that you like, adherent to one of the three main themes.
