An @EthereumDenver Hackathon Thread:
I’ve finished reading through all the submissions to ETHDenver (forgive me if I missed some across Devfolio, Daostack pages).

Here are some themes I saw:

1. ETH-as-a-swiss-army-knife
2. ETH2.0 Tools
3. Crypto UX
4. Interoperable Gaming

1/n
2/n
The first theme that I saw was all kinds of use cases for Ethereum solving real-world problems.

There were people building everything from DMV solutions to ETH-enabled paywalls. Here are my top "use-case" ETH creations:
3/n
ETH-enabled paywalls
ethanceit.netlify.com
just a couple of lines of code to drop in a little paywall enabled by crypto payment. This could enable microcontent anywhere on any website! Would love to see it support morecoins using the same logic!
4/n
Some very neat charity/impact focused hacks came out of ETHDenver:
highpriests.rdai.money -donating your defi interest to syndicated causes (would love to see more open ways to be added here as a syndicator/as a cause petitioning for being added to people's sindicates)
5/n
Charitable initiatives also included lots of stuff to index open opportunities
Grantchain, Wolfpack (funds for the homeless), and even an NFT/loans onboarder for those with low credit increase access for individuals to tap into financial systems
6/n We had the DMV demolishers
github.com/jierdin/HackSq… save us mere mortals lots of time at the DMV by working with digital IDs.
How much GDP would Eth save if people just moved all state identification onchain? no more TSA or DMV hassles.
Hon. mention: github.com/twos-complemen…
7/n Is your iphone running out of space? You can backup your iphone to IPFS using this hack: github.com/codynhat/ipfs-…
docs.google.com/presentation/d…
8/n We also saw a team using Ethereum to fight election fraud dropbox.com/s/z52v1xdc2xv1…
Speaking of fraud, a team also built "Living Proof", a tool for censorship-resistant attestations. Don't we wish Craig Wright used this? haha
9/n If you want it to be easier to distribute funds to people or open-source GitHub organizations
flowerpot.network
10/n Want to buy ebooks with crypto?
distro.textile.cafe has you covered. Now to another existential question: should e-books be scarce if the marginal price to create is 0?
11/n And finally, if you want to raise money for crazy things with huge positive externalities like space exploration, well, there's a bonding curve for you
glopact/SNODEX: Augmented Bonding Curves for Planetary Impact Initiatives
12/n What's neat about all of these things? That because of the developer ecosystem of Ethereum, you can build any of these use cases over just one weekend. Ethereum as a blockchain is one of the most compelling swiss army knives I've ever seen.
13/n With Ethereum staking around the corner, and eth2.0 requiring stakers to put up 32 ETH, we will see the development of ecosystem tools to make staking and running ETH nodes easier
14/n Kettle comes up with a way to obscure who puts down the 32 ETH to run a validator github.com/KevinVitale/Ke…
15/n LogFlume also made it easier to dig through all the logs if you're running an ETH node
16/n It's not just enough to make ETH easier to use, but also to make crypto UX as a whole easier to use.
17/n Metacredits helps builders who need to onboard new crypto folks or new crypto folks who don't have ETH to try out using ETH smart contracts. Huge for onboarding

docs.google.com/presentation/d…
18/n Did you have a friend that got simswapped? fear no more. These guys built Sim Protector github.com/BUIDLHub/simpr…

Want notifications off your blockchain data? Another project linked The Graph subgraphs to @IFTTT to make blockchain data more easy to plug in to.
19/n @boredGenius and team built crypto-powered @venmo that also gives you interest!
github.com/ZeframLou/warp…

github.com/Ryan-Ouyang/le… and team also built a generalized solution to use funds staked in order to grant access to physical property!
20/n We also saw the invention of lots of DAO tooling, such as no-loss daos that use interest-bearing tokens github.com/ScopeLift/enda…

RAP also offered some ideas on how to quantify good user behavior to encourage positive decentralized participation
docs.google.com/presentation/d…
21/n we of course also saw lots of #DeFi projects.
BTC as a store of value on ETH is still a recurring meme, with multiple projects supplying ways to port BTC over to the Ethereum world.
github.com/j10sanders/BTC…

makerdao-btc-vault.herokuapp.com
22/n We also saw builder.ohmydefi.com create a pretty robust system to issue options and derivatives. Pretty neat!
23/n Lastly, we can't forget about all the games and "crypto legos" that were displayed during ETHDenver.
24/n Who doesn't want a great @CryptoKitties game? diekittydai.herokuapp.com
Get some interest bearing stablecoins if you win!
cc: @robsecord check this out!
25/n Use your NFTs as collateral in loans using github.com/poocart/lend721

Or put stablecoins into memes and earn interest on growing the meme
docs.google.com/presentation/d…
26/n I've got a whole lot of new ideas after reading through all the cool things built this past weekend. If your project was mentioned in this thread, please feel free to dm anytime to chat more about your product!

[THREAD] This past weekend I was lucky enough to have been a judge at @ETHBoston. As an investor in the space, here are some of my top takeaways, trends to watch, and favorite projects from the hackathon.
2/First, some context. Like other @ETHGlobal events, ETHBoston was well-attended, with over 400 hackers in attendance. Participants had a wide range of #Ethereum experience and traveled from all over the world to attend the event (stats below).
3/At the end of the weekend, 55 projects were submitted to judges. Of those, 6 projects were selected as finalists and they presented to the entire hackathon audience.

You can view all of the hackathon projects here on @devpost: ethboston.devpost.com/submissions

#Thread Senator @HawleyMO with one of the best Commencement Addresses we've heard in years. His speech is pure MAGA Populism. Here are a few clips:

"The truth is, the people at the top of our society have built a culture and an economy that work mainly for themselves." 1/
@HawleyMO Senator @HawleyMO on the Elites dismissal of the concerns of the Working Class:

"Now I rather suspect, it's just a hunch, that if globalization threatened America's tech industry or its say banking sector that we would hear a different tone." 2/
@HawleyMO Senator @HawleyMO:

"It is not the privileged but it is the common man and woman, it is not the elite but it is the everyday person who moves the destinies of the world. That burning insight was once the animating principle of American life and we must make it so again." 3/

#Thread #Kurukshetra #Analytics #Mahabharata
Started a fun project of mine today. Recording the duels of Kurukshetra war in an excel sheet in anticipation of some interesting pattern. Watch this space for interesting tidbits. Full exercise may take quite a while
Interesting Results! #Kurukshatra #Analytics. So many duels without a declared result on Day One
Could record two general battles and 26 duels on Day One. Only 6 of those duels ended decisively. Pandava side suffered horribly in the hands of Bhishma. Uttara killed in the hands of Shalya. Saving grace being Abhimanyu countering Bhishma and winning over Brihadbala #Kurukshetra

#Thread on AJ+ Holocaust denial that triggered wide outrage.
Denying or downplaying the #Holocaust is not new. It has been a recurring theme by AJ arabic since its establishment. 1/
AJ has continued to recycle myth that number of #Holocaust victims is debatable, deny extermination & has accused Zionist movement of benefiting from it.
AJ+, however, always claimed it is different, but n reality, it is run by the same leftists/Islamists who deny Holocaust 2/
What I find hilarious is how some top Israeli journalists have convinced themselves for years that appearing in AJ will help bringing peace and fight antisemitism.
What a naive thinking 3/

Here is a #thread for the May 14th court proceedings in the trial for #NXIVM leader Keith Raniere. These are my notes after reading through the transcripts provided by court.
Court begins with an immediate sidebar which is redacted from the transcripts. After a discussion the jury is brought in and the judge explains an alternate juror was sick and they would adjourn for the day. The attorneys still have some things to discuss, however.
A discussion starts by assistant U.S. Attorney Moira Penza. She says some materials have to do with things recovered during a search warrant at Nancy Salzman’s home at 3 Oregon Trail when Raniere was arrested.

I am going to start a thread on what I find in the documents as I find it (as best as I can) We received the full and basically unredacted dossier from Steele, here: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… It is evident from this paragraph that they were, in fact, backengineering a coverup.
2. It is important to note, that this section refers to the now VERY debunked meeting of Michael Cohen in PRAYGUE (You all know what I did there) and we know this meeting absolutely did not occur.
3. After the election, Steele was still compiling dossier material. This entry is from December 13th and seeks to provide cover for "Romanian" hacker Guccifer 2.0
