A philosophical journey through Ethereum—exploring code, consensus, and decentralization as metaphysical, ethical, and aesthetic forces.

Exploring the limitations of scaling syllogistic reasoning in biomedical NLI, this work highlights challenges related to knowledge base dependency

Overcoming Limitations in Scaling Biomedical Syllogistic Reasoning

The day of the salesman who is satisfied with the "good old way" is fast passing.

The name of this widow was Pepin, and the scene of the sacrilege was a small enclosure on the hill of the Moulins-a-Vent.

Rights in the music industry is currently messy and difficult to set correct prices for. Using the blockchain to deal with it may solve price discovery in it.

With just over 4,000 data brokers controlling the loosely regulated data economy, there are absolutely no guarantees when it comes to data protection, privacy, and ownership.

Would creating an insurance policy where policyholders are able to reclaim ownership of their premiums and walk away be a bad thing? Most people are convinced that such an insurance policy would create a <a href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_hazard">moral hazard</a> among the participants.

A discussion of the oracle problem

Crowdfunding platforms have their share of censorship controversies. In December, a flurry of account deactivations called attention to the fragility of trying to earn a living on the platforms.

The Silencing of Digital Voices: Crowdfunding’s Censorship Problem

In case you missed it, there has been the emergence of a new funding model called Initial Coin Offerings (ICO’s) that has raised billions of dollars for projects all around the world. Unfortunately, it is not plain sailing as there are a few challenges for a team to run an ICO campaign. This article offers an alternative.

ICO’s without the pain — CoinFactory.

It’s been nearly a decade since cryptocurrencies have disrupted primary markets.

Introduction to cryptocurrency primary markets and token issuance mechanisms

Immutability is a feature that makes the Blockchain great.

There’s no shortage of excitement around non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Their ownership is akin to owning a popular cryptocurrency like <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/bitcoin" target="_blank">bitcoin</a>, a cryptographically secured form of digital scarcity. The difference? Owning an NFT means owning a universally unique digital item; no 2 are the same. NFTs are still nascent and there are questions of centralization regarding primary issuance, upgradeability, licensing, resale and utility.

Limited Edition Tokens

In the past few years we’ve seen the <a href="https://medium.com/@jacobscott/the-emergence-of-cryptoeconomic-primitives-14ef3300cc10" target="_blank">emergence of cryptoeconomic primitives</a> using markets. Instead of relying on an individual or a group, these systems use decentralized market mechanisms to achieve their goals. Two examples I’ll explore here are curation markets and prediction markets. I believe these are the tip of the iceberg and that we are going to see a flood of market-based solutions in the future.

The Power of Markets

Token Curated Registries (TCRs) are a building block of decentralized applications based on fungible tokens (FTs) and digital scarcity. They are fast becoming one of the hottest “<a href="https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/towards-a-hierarchy-of-token-building-blocks-6c8dd7b42341" target="_blank">Token Building Blocks</a>” for decentralized <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/blockchain" target="_blank">blockchain</a> applications. The use cases for TCRs are far reaching, everything from a simple whitelist to full blown decentralized governance. In this post I discuss some <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/design" target="_blank">design</a> patterns for TCRs and potential use cases. I am not purporting to know the Schelling point parameters, nor have I built these TCRs. This is for design thinking and use case exploration to spur innovation in the community.

Token Curated Registry (TCR) Design Patterns

tl;dr: This post attempts to shed some light on what Ethereum tokens are: what they’re for, as well as how they’re created, distributed, and used. We’ll look into token economics, how a blockchain-based app works, and how this relates to value and ICOs.

Blockchain technology has, and will continue to, transform the way in which many industries are structured and how the processes within these industries are conducted. In many instances the blockchain is used to remove the actions of a middleman, who may conduct, assist with, or oversee a transaction between two parties, and one field in which the utilization of blockchain is in its infancy, is the monetization of data.

Content Curation Using Blockchain Tokenomics

At the end of 2013, I wrote a blog titled: <a href="http://simondlr.com/post/70089813484/in-the-future-everyone-will-have-their-own">In The Future, Everyone Will Have Their Own Cryptocurrency</a>. It was based on the premise that because we can easily create cryptocurrencies, we are going to see tokens minted for almost all networks of value, including every person. It started a multi-year rabbit hole towards designing the technical infrastructure for tokens (eg I worked on dogeparty, scrypt altcoins &amp; I was a key contributor to the ERC20 standard) &amp; <a href="https://medium.com/@simondlr/a-summary-of-my-work-on-blockchain-based-economic-coordination-41fd759239a6">the economic design of&nbsp;them</a>.
