Trying to make a list of all the Zcash-related presentations at DevCon4. Let's see… there are a lot of them! …
There's my talk about the new Zcash Sapling technology and about the regulatory response to Zcash by governments: guidebook.com/guide/117233/e… …
Ian Miers (one of the founding scientists of Zcash and one of the current members of the Zcash Foundation Board of Directors): “Satoshi Has No Clothes”: guidebook.com/guide/117233/e… …
Josh Cincinnati (Executive Director of the Zcash Foundation): “Unscrambling an Egg: Decentralization and the Zcash Foundation”—guidebook.com/guide/117233/e… …
Liz Steininger (CEO of LeastAuthority, the company from which Zcash spun out four(?) years ago) on how to subscribe to a commercial service without giving up either your keys or your privacy: guidebook.com/guide/117233/e… (using Zcash of course) …
Eli Ben-Sasson (one of the founding scientists and advisor of Zcash) doing a two-hour workshop on STARKs: guidebook.com/guide/117233/e…. (I'm also going to mention STARKs briefly in my (25-minute) talk. Disclosure: z.cash/blog/zcash-inv…) …
Alejandro Machado and Eduardo Gomez (Zcashers) on cybercoins (including Zcash) in Venezuela: guidebook.com/guide/117233/e… …
Let's see…who else…Oh! And then there's Vitalik Buterin (Zcash technical advisor) guidebook.com/guide/117233/p… and Vlad Zamfir (Zcash founding investor) guidebook.com/guide/117233/p… …
Okay if I missed anybody let me know. See you around the conference!! ❤ ៚
potentially Zcash-related, since they just announced that they're making the second full Zcash implementation: Björn Wagner, co-founder and CTO of Parity: “Bridging the ÐApp: contracts talking across chains” guidebook.com/guide/117233/e…
P.S. Also there are several DevCon4 talks about zero-knowledge proofs, by Elena Nadolinski, Barry Whitehat, and others. Can't claim any credit for their work, but I'd be proud to count them as Zcashers if they'll have us. :-)
Here's a Zcash talk that I forgot in the list above! Amber Baldet (Zcash Foundation Board of Directors) and Patrick Nielsen on decentralization of development! guidebook.com/guide/117233/e… Starting now!

All the bad things about the Internet—I don't think they come from people being free to communicate with one another. I think they come from the advertising revenue model.
Incentives matter. In the long run, they may be the only thing that matters. It's taken 20 years since the advertising model swept the Internet.
What are the incentives baked into the advertising model? Seems to me that all of the worst problems that we attribute to "the Internet" are traceable precisely to those incentives.

0/ Thread about The Great Cybercoin Bear Market of 2018: …
1/ There are basically three narratives that I've been hearing about the cybercoin market: “new bull run”, “tulip bulb crash”, and “dotcom-style winter”. Plus there's a fourth perspective I'd like to throw in. …
2/ First up, the bulls. They say that the good times are about to come roaring back, in 2019. Their main narrative at this point is that the institutional/legacy-financial-system money is about to start flowing in. …

Ian Miers's presentation is 🔥! “If you're a government and you think you don't want privacy technology to be out there think again. I don't care who you are, there are other government's that are out to get you.”
“You need privacy *from people who send you payments* and *from people that you send payments to*.”

This presentation is so good.

OK, so yesterday I noted some incoherent comments re demographics and future demand for PSE in Ontario. I was a little flippant re baby boom, bust and echo in that tweet, as @AlexUsherHESA pointed out.

I could not leave it there.
Did I not take a course called "Econ & Demographics", with David Foot, Mr Boom Bust and Echo himself? I did.

Did we use his book throughout? We did. (Can I find it now? I cannot - v irritating.)

Do I recall the maxim "Every year we get a year older"? Oh my word, do I ever.
So here are some things that make me cautious about doom & gloom scenarios for PSE.

Every year we get a year older - but the population doesn't. You can't just look at the population aged 10-14yo now to estimate the 20-24yo population 10 years from now, tempting as that is.

This bullshit politically charged and biased to all hell report about right-wing YouTubers is a thing you can read datasociety.net/output/alterna…
Complete with a creepy as fuck map
The agenda of "Alternative Influence Broadcasting the Reactionary Right on YouTube" author, Rebecca Lewis, is to kickstart a new media blitz for deplatforming right-wing YouTubers under the ominous "EXTREMISM" brush.

Keep the author's intentions in mind as you read the report.

Does AUSA Moira Kim Penza, prosecutor in the fed. #NXIVM #RICO criminal racketeering case, realize that her indictments of #NXIVM leader, Keith Raniere aka "Vanguard," last March, may have affected the outcome of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election? #ArizonaMafia #Democrats
Moira Kim Penza is 1 of the main prosecutors in the federal #NXIVM #RICO criminal case. A #RICO case is very serious; it is 1 of the most complex types of prosecutions the U.S. Government can initiate. Moira's boss is Richard P. Donoghue, U.S. Atty for the Eastern District of NY.
Penza is a smart lawyer. According to publicly available information, she studied at Cornell Law School, a private Ivy League University located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell was ranked the #13 law school in America, out of 203 law schools, by U.S. News & World Report, in 2018.

Once in a while, you catch a few breaks and good things happen. Someone, someday, should drill down deep to figure out the exact sequence of highly unlikely events that culminated in a truly extraordinary (and somewhat surreal) evening...

1/?
... at the National Space Society’s International Space Development Conference, courtesy of @JeffBezos and @AmazonPrime. I suspect it would be fascinating. But the big picture is crystal clear: we never would’ve gotten here without you.

2/?
Your passion, your work, your organization, your talents… you made the right people take notice. So thank you. This victory belongs to all of you.
