So, conventionally, this is about the time I'd start a podcast.
But I prefer bold experiments so I've been chasing partners and people all summer to try something that has never been done before
What is that?
2/ This fall, with the help and forebearance of the teams at @unicmetaverse and @oncyber, and the most amazing roster of guests and instructors, a team of us are going to try to run a university course 100% on-chain and in @OM100m.

I need to sleep on it for a day or two but we have some small gaps still - I am going to send some DMs and if by next week I am not fully satisfied I am going to ask for community help.

Solutions That Do Not Work
a) Everyone can change any cell? Chaos and theft
b) Only one person with editor access? Works fine but the whole world is at the mercy of that one person
3/ BTC's solution
a) Accountants propose changes every 10 minutes
b) Anyone can propose a change to their balances (along with a service fee)
c) Accountants batch the changes for review
d) Everyone checks that the batch is valid (no overspending) and accepts
