RocketPool is a mining pool for proof-of-stake Casper. While none of the parameters of Casper are final, a minimum of 1000 ETH has been discussed as a requirement for staking. RocketPool makes staking accessible to non-whales. David and I discuss how he’s architected RocketPool for security of funds and also the devops behind making sure that your node is constantly online. RocketPool will use nodes around the world — but what happens if the data center catches fire where your Ether is staked?

We've heard a lot of feedback from listeners inquiring why we don't talk about Bitcoin Cash much. Well, today we discuss the Bitcoin Cash Fund. What is that? Well it is a grass-roots project to accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin Cash. Also our guest this week is Dr. D.L. Thornton, a Ph.D. economist who conducts economic research on a range of topics, especially economic policy. It makes for a good podcast episode because he is an excellent speaker with a knack for presenting complex and arcane economic ideas in simple, understandable terms.

I expect Bitcoin will overthrow the total circulating USD very very soon. What do you think? How about Ethereum? ROCKET SHIP! You see the price?! That's a 5,500% price rise compared to current price. The price of Ethereum may be rising on the news that Ethereum might get its own derivatives market, as well as prediction by Bitcoin investor Mike Novogratz that the price of ether will reach $500 this year. Arianna Simpson first came on our radar when she wrote about a companies practice of valuing companies on a monthly basis which imposed public company-level scrutiny on the very private companies it chose to invest in. We thought it was tremendously short-sighted as well, and created volatility where there need not be. How does that relate to crypto? Hit play!

The bitcoin and open blockchain community is drowning in corporate propaganda. Objective, independent and strong voices that are not beholden to promoting special interests can make a huge difference in the narrative. And well, if you are intending on listening to this weeks episode, there is a good chance you’ve probably seen some of his work already and you realize how much time, money, and effort goes into producing original content with an independent perspective. Andreas Antonopoulos comes on our show to complete the trilogy of appearances to give us some peace of mind in an otherwise crazy last couple of weeks.
Today we talk with Richard Ma from Quantstamp. Quantstamp is a specialized network that connects developers, investors and users around a transparent and scalable proof-of-audit.

Devcon3 is a wrap! We successfully avoided Corrupted cops, locals & crypto gangs. Instead we had dinner and rubbed shoulders with the best of them. We drunk plenty of alcohol (after all, we ARE in Cancun), and learned a lot. Again, here are our takeaways, but this time from the last two days of Devcon3 as we provide you our recap part 2. Which talks you should watch/attend and/or miss? Who lived up to expectations and who disappointed?...and most importantly, which announcements were game changing. For everyone that met up with us from our slack, and who recognized us from Twitter -- we thank you! We will see you next year!
We’re in the early days of a technological breakthrough that has the potential for enormous societal impact, but challenges remain. As we spent the past week in Cancun, Mexico, we cut the roundtable short, but we bring Stephen McKeon into the studio to have a healthy discussion. Stephen is an expert in topics related to corporate finance, including venture capital, private equity, entrepreneurial finance, mergers and acquisitions. At the University of Oregon, he is an assistant professor of finance. He also works in the Finance and Securities Analysis Center in the Lundquist College of Business.
The first day of Devcon3 has come to an end and there’s a lot to be processed. Before we head into the second day of Ethereum’s conference in Cancún, Mexico, here are our takeaways from yesterday and today. We recap which talks you should watch/attend and/or miss. Who lived up to expectations and who disappointed...and most importantly, which announcements were game changing. Finally, there were also some hints for other improvements to the Ethereum platform that might be coming in the future. These include planned upgrades to the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), eWASM, which enables Ethereum to run in a web browser, and so-called “stateless clients”, a proposal for how clients could sync with the network more quickly. We anticipate hearing much more about these in the coming days at Devcon3. Listen now, and wait until the end of the conference for part 2. Like DMX, we gon' give it to ya.
