The Ether Review #63?'??'"?'?Meet DAD, the Digital Aussie Dollar https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/the-ether-review-63meet-dad-the-digital-aussie-dollar Wed, 26 Apr 2017 13:56:00 -0700 In Brief: Tokenizing fiat currency in a way that is compatible with our existing financial infrastructure and legislation is no easy feat. The consequences however reach across the entirety of industry, the economy, and society.

Nick Addison is the CTO of AgriDigital, an agricultural finance company first covered in episode 45 of TER. As part of his work at AgriDigital, Nick is researching ways to port the existing financial infrastructure into the blockchain age. It?'?s not easy, but as the inventory of tools grows, so do the number of possible solutions to the problems Nick has uncovered.In this episode we look at a prospective architecture for a Digital Australian Dollar (DAD), the problems with implementing that architecture and the consequences of making such a transition. It?'?s a great tour through the solution space of today.

180 - Mano Thanabalan: Simplifying Incorporation & Automating Corporate Governance with Otonomos https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/epicenter-180-mano-thanabalan-simplifying-incorporation-automating-corporate-governance-with-otonomos Tue, 25 Apr 2017 11:11:00 -0700 Support the show, consider donating:BTC: 1MjciB4vYxC9LKQSWrkCfAniq4GnSMZzB2 (http://bit.ly/2ptdEB3)ETH: 0x8cdb49ca5103Ce06717C4daBBFD4857183f50935 (http://bit.ly/2nKneP1)

Anyone who has ever started a company knows just how tedious that process that can be. Whether it's establishing a shareholder's agreement, defining the company's constitutional structure, raising funds, or transferring shares, corporate governance procedures remain largely paper-based, requiring validation from multiple stakeholders, and their lawyers. Blockchain technologies, and specifically smart contracts, provide the rails upon which these processes can be digitized and streamlined, reducing operational costs, eliminating errors and automating menial tasks.

Manu Thanabalan, CTO of Otonomos, joins us to discuss how his company is leveraging smart contracts to accelerate incorporation and automate corporate governance. Otonomos provides the tools and services which allow for anyone to start a company in any of the jurisdictions they support. Using their platform, founders are able to define board members and issue shares, while captables are kept up-to-date in real-time. Day-to-day governance mechanisms and standard procedures such as voting and share transfers are automated through a smart contact, which complies with local jurisdictional regulation.

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • Mano's background as a quantitative trader and how he transitioned into blockchain
  • The fundamental problem Otonomos is addressing
  • How we may be able to unlock a tremendous amount of value by liberating shares currently locked in private companies
  • Leveraging smart contracts to automate standardized corporate legal procedures
  • The types of constitutional rules which can be digitized and automated with smart contracts
  • The ability to simplify accounting and auditing with Otonomos
  • The Otonomos technology stack
  • The current state of Otonomos and their product roadmap

179 - Thomas Voegtlin: Blocksize, Bitcoin Unlimited, ASICBoost and Activating SegWit https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/epicenter-179-thomas-voegtlin-blocksize-bitcoin-unlimited-asicboost-and-activating-segwit Tue, 18 Apr 2017 05:18:00 -0700 Support the show, consider donating:BTC: 1KgnEbgUAtpmBBNKGhR7JroJBoMvEpJ5GZ (http://bit.ly/2pmi6ky)ETH: 0x8cdb49ca5103Ce06717C4daBBFD4857183f50935 (http://bit.ly/2nKneP1)

Years into the great Bitcoin scaling debate no solution is in reach. Neither bigger blocks nor Segregated Witness have anywhere near consensus support. With the conflict escalating, a Bitcoin fork has become a real possibility.

Electrum Developer Thomas Voegtlin joined us to discuss the state of the Bitcoin scaling debate. We discussed Bitcoin Unlimited, ASICBoost, SegWit activation without miner support and how a Bitcoin fork could play out. Possible outcomes include that Bitcoin Unlimited gains a majority of hashing power and starts mining bigger blocks. In the event of a fork, a proof-of-work change could be done to defend the minority chain from miner attacks. And lately a proposal was brought forward to activate SegWit without the support of the hashing power.

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • ASICBoost and its potential role in the conflict
  • How a Bitcoin fork could happen
  • How to split coins in case of a fork
  • How UASF could be used to activate SegWit without miner support
  • Requirements for UASF to be safe
  • How Electrum would handle a fork

The Ether Review #61 - The Biggest City in Blockchain Part 1 https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/the-ether-review-61-the-biggest-city-in-blockchain-part-1 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 19:05:00 -0700 Last week I was honoured with the privilege of representing New Zealand at the inaugural ISO/TC-307 Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies standards committee meeting. The event was hosted by the secretariat, Standards Australia. 18 nations attended. The event itself will be the subject of a blog post when I get around to writing it.

While at the meeting, blockchain legend Nick Addison wrangled together a who?'?s who of blockchain entrepreneurs for a round table discussion. We convened in the media room at the international convention center. The group grew piecemeal over the course of three hours during which we discussed everyone?'?s projects and the state of blockchain in Australia.The attendees were:

Tim Bass of Block 8Bok Khoo of the Internet, and Bok ConsultingSam Brooks CTO of VeredictumRussell Mclernon of RexmlsLuke Anderson of Sigma PrimeSergei Sergienko of ChronobankMatt Hale of DivviConspicuously absent were Chris Mountford of DAH, Conor Svenson.

I?'?ve split the conversation into two episodes and there will be a separate one with Nick Addison because, well, this is Nick Addison we?'?re talking about here. Before we get stuck in, I want to draw your attention to the Blockchain NZ conference and the Auckland and Wellington Blockchain Meetups. Things are gathering pace down here and with Vitalik soon to grace our shores with his presence, the whole country is abuzz. You can pick up conference tickets at a discount by following this link. I?'?ll be there and everyone will be invited to my place for a barbecue in the days following.So let?'?s hear from they guys in Sydney. First up we have Tim Bass, on joint real estate investing, then Bok Khoo on decentralized exchanges and derivatives markets. After some general chat Sergei discusses Chronobank and Russell explains Rex before we move into discussions about usability, insurance and end user friendly key management. Finally, Sam outlines the steganographic processes behind the operation of the Veredictum anti-piracy platform slated to launch later this year.

Technology and Choice #18 Tezos and Scalable Decentralized Governance https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/technology-and-choice-18-tezos-and-scalable-decentralized-governance Tue, 11 Apr 2017 19:00:00 -0700 Governance - the act or activity of looking after and making decisions about something -- Merriam-Webster.com

Those wary of the complexity, inequities and corruption of govern-ment tend to also be wary of the idea of govern-ance. But there's no way around it: Governance (by the above definition) happens one way or the other, because otherwise stuff just happens. Not an optimum scene, for sure.

Arthur Breitman, CTO and lead developer of Tezos, started thinking about this years ago, and started developing Tezos as a way to account for the inevitable need to adapt the means of decision-making and action within a decentralized cryptocurrency environment.

In this episode we try to take a simpleton's approach to examining Bitcoin and related currencies in a way most anyone can follow, and then examine the factors that need to be managed in any decentralized cryptocurrency system, and start to examine how Tezos deals with these points.

I say "start," because we could only get so far in one hour. There's more to come, but you don't want to miss this one, for sure.

178 - Gilles Fedak: iExec, Blockchain-Based Fully Distributed Cloud Computing Infrastructure https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/epicenter-178-gilles-fedak-iexec-blockchainbased-fully-distributed-cloud-computing-infrastructure Tue, 11 Apr 2017 12:59:00 -0700 Support the show, consider donating:BTC: 17foNL7cdvPXPyiazDGuKfrjjdJQjwUTv1 (http://bit.ly/2oFoy6a)ETH: 0x8cdb49ca5103Ce06717C4daBBFD4857183f50935 (http://bit.ly/2nKneP1)

For decades, science and academia have leveraged distributed computing to solve massive computational problems. Distributed grid computing schemes allow donors to volunteer their desktop computer's idle resources toward scientific projects in physics, biology, and chemistry, where large amounts of parallel computing resources are necessary. Relying on software like BONIC, these networks provide features such as built-in fault tolerance and result verification. And with the proliferation of mobile and IoT, the potential for massively distributed grid networks has never been greater.

Gilles Fedak, a researcher at the French computer science research body Inria, joins us to discuss a new project which aims to build a high-performance distributed cloud infrastructure marketplace. Relying on mature grid computing technologies, iExec utilizes Ethreum to organize a peer-to-peer marketplace of computing resources, allowing anyone to rent their idle resources to grid networks. If it succeeds to execute on its vision, this game-changing project could revolutionize distributed computing through cost reduction and the commoditization of resources.

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • Gilles' background as a distributed computing researcher
  • Distributed computing and it's applications in science and industry
  • The problems we see in distributed computing networks
  • The iExec project and its vision for a distributed computing resource marketplace
