This document discusses how blockchain technology could be used to facilitate interoperability and data sharing across platforms like Wikipedia, WordPress, and the wider web. It envisions a system where each person's self-generated data could be hosted on a shared platform that makes transactions, credentials, and other records irrelevant by prioritizing free expression and interconnection over management and oversight. While recognizing blockchain's potential to support online communities, it cautions against using the technology to manage or monitor people, and argues for exploring how it could help disengage from irrelevant systems and free individuals.

Future of AI: Blockchain and Deep LearningMelanie Swan
The Future of AI: Blockchain and Deep Learning
First point: considering blockchain and deep learning together suggests the emergence of a new class of global network computing system. These systems are self-operating computation graphs that make probabilistic guesses about reality states of the world.
Second point: blockchain and deep learning are facilitating each other’s development. This includes using deep learning algorithms for setting fees and detecting fraudulent activity, and using blockchains for secure registry, tracking, and remuneration of deep learning nets as they go onto the open Internet (in autonomous driving applications for example). Blockchain peer-to-peer nodes might provide deep learning services as they already provide transaction hosting and confirmation, news hosting, and banking (payment, credit flow-through) services. Further, there are similar functional emergences within the systems, for example LSTM (long-short term memory in RNNs) are like payment channels.
Third point: AI smart network thesis. We are starting to run more complicated operations through our networks: information (past), money (present), and brains (future). There are two fundamental eras of network computing: simple networks for the transfer of information (all computing to date from mainframe to mobile) and now smart networks for the transfer of value and intelligence. Blockchain and deep learning are built directly into smart networks so that they may automatically confirm authenticity and transfer value (blockchain) and predictively identify individual items and patterns.
Beyond digitalizing money, payments, economics, and finance, blockchains are a singularity-class technology that enables the secure, trackable, automated coordination of very large-scale projects, fleets, and swarms
The implications could be an orderly transition to the automation economy and trust-rich human-machine collaboration in the digital smartnetwork societies of the future
Decentralised Semantic Web @ International Semantic Web Research Summer Schoo...John Domingue
This in depth tutorial, presented at the 2018 International Semantic Web Research Summer School (ISWS), looks at the possibilities for a decentralised semantic web focusing primarily on the relationship between blockchains and linked data. The first part of the talk is an extensive explanation of what blockchains are and how they are used. This is followed by links to ongoing decentralised linked data research including Tim Berners-Lee's SOLID and Ruben Verborgh's Linked Data Fragments.
A Blockchain is a type of diary or spreadsheet containing information about transactions. Each transaction generates a hash. If a transaction is approved by a majority of the nodes then it is written into a block. Each block refers to the previous block and together make the Blockchain. And I am sharing this to help everyone to learn about blockchain technology.
Future of AI: Blockchain & Deep LearningMelanie Swan
Future of AI: intelligence “baked in” to smart networks, blockchains to confirm authenticity and transfer value, and Deep Learning algorithms for predictive identification. This talk presents two high-impact contemporary emerging technologies: big data and deep learning algorithms, and blockchain distributed ledgers, and discusses their implications for the future of artificial intelligence.
Food as Distributed Commons: Cryptocurrencies as Slow MoneyEvelyn Rodriguez
How may one use cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin and blockchain technologies to create sustainable, participatory projects in our communities. A hypothetical example using decentralized hydroponics urban farm will be used to consider implementation for funding and economically sustaining a "food grid" (analogous to the energy grid) that benefits everyone in the collective membership.

Blockchain, het grootboek van de Bitcoin, is hét buzzwoord van dit moment. Het belooft onze wereld te transformeren. We gebruiken het internet al twee decennia voor het uitwisselen van informatie. Maar voor het uitwisselen van geld en waardepapieren is het internet niet veilig genoeg. Met de Blockchain kan dit opgelost worden.
De Blockchain zorgt ervoor dat partijen in een netwerk transacties (of andere data) onderling snel, veilig en betrouwbaar uitwisselen zonder elkaar te kennen. Misbruik is onmogelijk omdat iedere transactie door meerdere netwerkgebruikers gecontroleerd wordt zonder tussenkomst van een derde partij.
In eerste instantie waren het vooral bedrijven uit de financiële wereld die warmliepen voor de Blockchain. Echter gaat het potentieel en de reikwijdte veel verder. Onderwijs, zorg, logistiek en industrie. Corporates, midden en kleinbedrijven en zelfs overheden. Allen kunnen door de Blockchain radicaal hervormd worden.
Naast alle beloftes en kansen, roept de Blockchain natuurlijk ook vragen op. Hoe werkt deze technologie nou precies? Wat zijn voorbeelden van toepassingen op de Blockchain? Wat zijn de consequenties voor mijn organisatie en klanten? Waar liggen de uitdagingen? Met welke timeline moet ik rekening houden?
Om antwoorden te vinden op deze vragen organiseert Flevum op 27 Maart een event over de Blockchain technologie.

This talk provides a speculative contemplation of philosophical topics that might arise with brain-machine interface technology and explores the new ways that individuals and society might self-enact as a result. Brain-machine interfaces that could be pervasive, continuous, and widely-adopted suggest interesting new possibilities for our future selves. From a philosophical perspective, these possibilities concern the definition of what it is to be human, our current existence and interaction with reality, and how all of this could be dramatically different in a scenario of digitally-linked cloudmind collaborations. This talk looks at some of the foundational ontological questions of how the progression of the existence of the classic human might evolve. Perhaps the most pressing question that currently-minded potential adopters have is how to avoid getting irreparably pulled into a groupmind. To protect against this, there could be an expansion and letting go of the term and concepts of personal identity, and humans as a unit of organization, in favor of instead self-relying on a decentralized permissioning structure like blockchain technology for managing empowered and resilient crowdmind participations.
On the 22nd of February, I introduced ~600 young entrepreneurs to blockchains at SINC Antwerp's Future Entrepreneurship event.

Smart Network Economics:
Debt, Risk, and Payment Channels
Smart networks are intelligent autonomous networks, a new form of global computational infrastructure in which intelligence is built directly into the software such that an increasing degree of autonomous operation is facilitated. More formally, smart networks are state machines that make probabilistic guesses about reality states of the world and act upon this basis, particularly in economic domains, hence, smart network economics.
The Blockchain Commission for Sustainable Development is proud to present a significant body of research, focused on raising awareness for the potential of blockchain technology to contribute profound social impact worldwide. The purpose of this white paper—The Future is Decentralized: Block Chains, Distributed Ledgers & The Future of Sustainable Development (Volume 1) is to demystify the technology + demonstrate real-world applicability of its potential using existing case studies + fieldwork.
The potential of blockchain technology to disrupt industrial sectors, commercial processes, governmental structures or economic systems seems to know no bounds. We suggest that the transformative power of this innovation should not be seen as a threat to existing systems of governance; rather, it should be seen as an opportunity for national and international institutions to defend the rights of those they represent and to accelerate our collective progress towards meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
We have taken an intersectional approach to collaboration on this project, working with volunteers across industries and organizations, with support from leading academic researchers.
This white paper is designed as the first volume in a series of primers to provide policy makers, regulators, and UN Member States a non-technical introduction to blockchain technology.
The digital world is part of our DNA now; it is part of how we consume our entertainment, share our experiences, and keep in touch with our loved ones. Technology can be harnessed to strengthen democratic institutions; in this day and age, a revaluation of our relationship with technology is more important than ever.
Blockchains can bring transparency to opaque or corrupt systems, and verifiability and immutability to commercial processes. They can bring increased security and resilience to vulnerable infrastructure, ensure individual privacy whilst guaranteeing autonomy, and encourage cooperation and engender trust where needed most.
Blockchain 3.0, the Encryption of Innovation. This talk looks beyond the immediate economic benefits and risks of distributed ledgers and considers the broader societal innovations implied by blockchain technology. The possibility of innovation and creating and participating in different and multiple self-determined political and economic systems could mobilize how we create ourselves as individuals and societies. Blockchain technology invites the possibility of creating a social world that gives greater weight to the values we apparently care about: freedom, trust, and dignity
On the 15th of November I spoke for my favourite audience in the world, friends and family! Ever since I became a speaker on Bitcoin and the Blockchain, some of them have asked me when they could attend a presentation to see and hear what it is all about. So I decided to host something myself and some friends invited their friends too. I had a great evening, thanks everyone!

A new philosophy of economics is needed that is adequate to the contemporary moment, configuring a mindset shift from 1) survival to fulfillment, 2) scarcity to abundance, and 3) centralization to decentralization
Successful societies recognize that economics is shifting to the greater production and consumption of “social goods” in complement to “material goods”
Social goods such as trust, dignity, abundance, opportunity, creative expression, fulfillment, challenge, collaboration, status, certainty, availability, contingency, willingness, cognitive surplus

Pros and Cons of Blockchain Technology: Your Complete Go-to GuidePixel Crayons
The benefits of Blockchain are many, but do you know what makes it the need of the hour? Multiple participants manage its decentralized database known as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).
Yes, Blockchain is a disruptive technology compared to traditional database systems. Besides, not a single entity controls it; there is no chance of exploitation or suppression from any one party. As a business owner, I know you might be thinking of adopting Blockchain; however, you are still unsure about it.
To take you out of this dilemma, I am here to discuss some most prominent pros and cons of Blockchain. So, get ready to dive deep and discover some amazing Blockchain pros along with some blockchain cons.
Since the technology is not so old and needs expertise, always hire a trusted Blockchain development company.
Blockchain technology is a revolutionary way of storing and transferring data. While it has its share of cons, it is possible to rectify most of them with the right planning and execution. The current state of blockchain technology makes it the best suit for businesses that want to take advantage of its distributed ledger features. However, the technology is not simple as it seems to be. Hence, I would once again recommend you to hire Blockchain developers with experience and the right skills in Blockchain development services. Otherwise, your business may suffer.
Blockchain Technology and Decentralized Governance: Is the State Still Necess...eraser Juan José Calderón
Blockchain Technology and Decentralized Governance: Is the State Still Necessary?
Marcella Atzori, Ph. D.*
ABSTRACT
The core technology of Bitcoin, the blockchain, has recently emerged as a disruptive innovation with a wide range of applications, potentially able to redesign our interactions in business, politics and society at large. Although scholarly interest in this subject is growing, a comprehensive analysis of blockchain applications from a political perspective is severely lacking to date. This paper aims to fill this gap and it discusses the key points of blockchain-based decentralized governance, which challenges to varying degrees the traditional mechanisms of State authority, citizenship and democracy. In particular, the paper verifies to which extent blockchain and decentralized platforms can be considered as hyper-political tools, capable to manage social interactions on large scale and dismiss traditional central authorities. The analysis highlights risks related to a dominant position of private powers in distributed ecosystems, which may lead to a general disempowerment of citizens and to the emergence of a stateless global society. While technological utopians urge the demise of any centralized institution, this paper advocates the role of the State as a necessary central point of coordination in society, showing that decentralization through algorithm-based consensus is an organizational theory, not a stand-alone political theory.

BASIC INTRODUCTION TO BLOCKCHAIN - JOEL SUMANTH RAJ.pdfJOELCONTACTS
Blockchain Technology is a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network. An asset can be tangible (a house, car, cash, land) or intangible (intellectual property, documents, contracts, patents, copyrights, branding).
How does the Blockchain Work?
A blockchain is a distributed, peer-to-peer database that hosts a continuously growing number of transactions. Each transaction, referred to as a “block,” is secured through cryptography, timestamped, and validated by every authorized member of the database using consensus algorithms (i.e., a set of rules). A transaction that is not validated by all members of the database is not added to the database. Every transaction is attached to the previous transaction in sequential order, creating a chain of transactions (or blocks). A transaction cannot be deleted or edited, thereby creating an immutable audit trial. A transaction can only be changed by adding another transaction to the chain.
This study explains all the advantages and disadvantages of Blockchain and the Distributed Ledger technologies, outlines the proven use cases and provides business insights on what can be achieved in future. You will also find an explanation of the core problems in Finance, Logistics, Insurance, Supply Chain and other industries that are being solved with Blockchain now.
Blockchain Technology - By Dennis Loos.pdfdennis loos
Blockchain is one of the most significant assets that truly disrupt our day-to-day lives. It’s not just cryptocurrencies. “But Dennis Loos, isn’t blockchain just cryptos?” Oh, no, it’s much, much, MUCH more than that.
Blockchain, whose origins are blended (and often blurred) with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, is a disruptive technology with the potential to transform how goods and services are exchanged over the internet. Blockchain allows complex transactions to be carried out transparently and securely, on a distributed interaction model that ousts multiple established intermediaries, eradicating the control held by central authorities in traditional methods of digital transaction.
There are several techniques that we are leaving around today including: Artificial Intelligence( A.I),Block chain and Metaverse technologies. These technologies are crucial to our lifes in making life more easier.
COMMENTS
Blockchain technology is one of the most talked-about topics in the tech world right now. It has been hailed as a revolutionary technology that could change the way we do business and has been the subject of much speculation.

Blockchain Student’s name Institutional affiliation Submission date Introduction Blockchain technology has been art=tracing a lot of oftenest
from many industries. This blockchain has enhanced many developments, unlike any other feed that is associated with the internet. His is
attributed to how individuals and organizations will be functioning (Swan, 2015). .in addition, block chain is said to be going to have changes
to the way the governments are run and how certain aspects in society will apply the I=enforcement of varied transactions. In the past
centuries, trust has been I the hand s of large corporations such as banks s but the development of the Blockchain will create an arena
through which power will be dynamic, and there will be space for new channels for validation of information. Functionality Blockchains are
made up of data sets that are made up of smaller chains of data packages known as blocks. A block is made up of multiple transactions.
Therefore, the Blockchain arises from the addition of new blocks. A complete blockchain is a representation of an entire ledger that has
transaction history. The functionality of the blockchain state that transactions are not automatically added to the leger that is in place. The
application of the general agreement will allow transactions to be stored I a block for a certain amount of time before being transferred to the
ledger. The implication of the Blockchain The Blockchain is a ledger that holds the records of all transactions that have been processed by a

His long hair is one constant throughout his evolving roles and public appearances. Johnny Depp long hair is not a style choice but a significant aspect of his identity. contributing to his allure and mystique. This article explores the journey and significance of Johnny Depp long hair. highlighting how it has become integral to his brand.
The Early Years: A Budding Star with Signature Locks
1980s: The Rise of a Young Heartthrob
Johnny Depp's journey in Hollywood began in the 1980s. with his breakout role in the television series "21 Jump Street." During this time, his hair was short, but it was already clear that Depp had a penchant for unique and edgy styles. By the decade's end, Depp started experimenting with longer hair. setting the stage for a lifelong signature.
1990s: From Heartthrob to Icon
The 1990s were transformative for Johnny Depp his career and personal style. Films like "Edward Scissorhands" (1990) and "Benny & Joon" (1993) saw Depp sporting various hair lengths and styles. But, his long, unkempt hair in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" (1993) began to draw significant attention. This period marked the beginning of Johnny Depp long hair. which became a defining feature of his image.

We need to rebuild the #openbadges infrastructure around the #blockchain.

Ethereum uses something called a ‘block chain’ to record information on a public
database in a chronological way that prevents copying, tampering, fraud or
deletion.
10. Move beyond the superficial public discussions about Bitcoin, and
you’ll discover a software breakthrough that could be of enormous
importance to the future of commoning on open network platforms.
[..]
Blockchain technology is significant because it can validate the
authenticity of an individual bitcoin … Or to extend this idea: How do
you know that a given document, certificate or dataset — or a vote or
“digital identity” asserted by an individual — is the “real thing” and
not a forgery?
http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/the-blockchain-a-promising-new-infrastructure-for-online-commons/2015/03/12
***David Bollier seeing blockchain as promising new infrastructure for online commons
so.. what if that’s not the question/problem.. ie: validation.
what if we assume people are good. validation irrelevant. way beyond superficial.
note: ***David quotes in blue
11. Blockchain technology can help solve this problem by using a
searchable online “ledger” that keeps track of all transactions of all
bitcoins. The ledger is updated about six times an hour, each time
incorporating a new set of transactions known as the “block” into the
ledger. What makes the blockchain so revolutionary is that the
information on it is shared by everyone on the network using the
Bitcoin software. The ledger acts as a kind of permanent record
maintained by a vast distributed peer network, which makes it far
more secure than data kept at a centralized location. You can trust the
authenticity of a given bitcoin because it’s virtually impossible to
corrupt a ledger that is spread across so many nodes in the network.
so ..what if we rechannel/upcycle these energies…
ie: take self-talk as data to 1help people find their people and to 2 leave a trail for
future findings. that’s it. until we get ourselves back to ourselves. do this first: free us.
not as a policing platform. not as a validation/security/trust check. not as a cost/profit
transaction.
12. What does all this have to do with the commons? you might ask. A
recently released report suggests that blockchain technology could
provide a critical infrastructure for building what are called
“distributed collaborative organizations.” (One variation is called
“decentralized autonomous organizations.”) A distributed
organization is one that uses blockchain technology to give its
members specified rights within the organization, which are managed
and guaranteed by the blockchain. This set of rights, in turn, can be
linked to the conventional legal system to make those rights legally
cognizable.
any talk of rights scares me. rights managed. rights legally cognizable. oy.
13. It’s important to recognize that blockchain technology is not confined
to digital currency applications. It can be applied to a wide variety of
circumstances in which a community of players – in markets,
commons or other circumstances – want reliable systems to manage
their inter-relationships on network platforms.
ok. but imagining we want a system to facilitate relationships.. not manage them.
perhaps not a big difference. but perhaps a big difference. perhaps why we haven’t yet
done any of this we keep talking about doing.
14. My research focuses on the new opportunities offered by blockchain technology, in particular with regard to community governance. It is my belief that
the blockchain can help implement new forms commons-based governance that could greatly benefits the CBPP ecosystem.
[..] Today, traditional issues related to shared common-pool resources—such as the free rider problem or the tragedy of the commons—could be
addressed with the implementation of blockchain-based governance, through the adoption of transparent decision-making procedures and the
introduction decentralized incentives systems for collaboration and cooperation.
… the blockchain allows for such procedures to be entirely crowdsourced, delegating to the community’s collective intelligence the responsibility to
monitor and evaluate its own achievements. [..] Thus far, while commons-based peer-production communities have flourished in many fields of
endeavor, they have had a hard scaling up, without turning into more bureaucratic and centralized institutions. It is my hope that, with the new
opportunities provided by blockchain technologies, we can come up with new applications that can support the operation of these communities (both in
the digital and physical world) in a more distributed and decentralized manner.
In a comment to a blog post a few days ago, Primavera de Filippi, one
of the leading tech/legal thinkers about blockchain technology, wrote:
This is the vision, at least. I happen to agree with Primavera that new
generations of blockchain technologies could overcome many collective-action
challenges that cannot be easily solved by conventional institutions today.
challenges not easily solved by conventional institutions. agreed.
what if one of those institutions is believing we must monitor and evaluate achievements.
must we?
perhaps free rider/tragedy of commons ness won’t be addressed by a platform/incentives. but
rather from everyone having the luxury to do whatever they want.. w/o any raised eyebrows
toward free riding and tragedy ness.. believing there’s never nothing going on..
15. In addition, the trustworthiness of even “reputable” third-party
guarantors can be problematic, as we saw during the 2008 financial
crisis (e.g., the unreliability of the SEC, ratings agencies and other
oversight authorities). Who guards the guards? Blockchain
technology represents an advance over many of the corruptible
institutional systems that we labor under today by providing less-
corruptible algorithmic ways to manage interactions within a group.
(Ah, but how shall the designed-in biases of any algorithms be
assessed by the community that labors under them, especially when
such algorithms cannot be easily understood by the non-techie? A
worthy question!)
no third party. no guards. to worthy question – a simple enough mechanism.
for a deep enough problem.
in an open enough system.
16. Blockchain systems should not be seen as a magic bullet in the sense
that human wiles and trickery are not going to go away. Yet blockchain
technology does offer more formidable tools for better protecting the
perimeter of the commons and for empowering commoners to decide
their own fate. Imagine a future of distributed collaborative
organizations whose internal relations could be improved through
software-enabled “smart contracts, reliable deliberation and voting
mechanisms, community currencies and other co-operative systems.
Far more versatile and secure than Web 2.0, blockchain-based social
networks could be new infrastructures for commoning at a much
larger scale than today.
contracts, voting mechanisms, currencies.. all become irrelevant.
imagine all the energy we could upcycle by …disengaging from that irrelevancy.
17. I could imagine distributed collaborative organizations — commons —
leapfrogging over some of the dysfunctional politics and bureaucratic
treachery that is rife in conventional institutions. Not a techno-fix, but
a new, less “gameable” platform for competitive politics. In a world
that is increasingly mediated by network platforms, blockchain
technology could help us build some refreshing, effective and socially
progressive types of commons. This world is still a way off, but it is a
rich horizon worth exploring.
leapfrog yes.
platform for competitive politics no.
and not way off.
because.. leapfrog yes.
18. on blockchain, may 9 2015
http://www.economist.com/news/special-report/21650295-or-it-next-big-thing
This system of consensus by distributed co-operation sounds complicated, but it allows something
of value to be transferred from one person to another without a middleman to verify the
transaction. Fans think this is a way of changing the centralised, institution-dominated shape of
modern finance. It is genuinely new. The question is whether it is useful.
Proponents envisage an “internet of value” that can make money flow as freely as data are flowing
already. Ridding the world of credit-card fees and foreign-exchange charges would be merely the
first step of a much broader revolution. In the same way that e-mail did much more than replace
letters sent in stamped envelopes, the internet of value would be a platform for myriad as-yet-
unthought-of innovations. Just as nobody forecast social networks, blogging or Netflix in the
1990s, the absence for now of any tangible applications other than bitcoin for the blockchain
merely points to humankind’s deficient imagination.
indeed. let’s awaken our imagination.
ie: imagine a moneyless dance.
19. All that is needed, blockchain boosters argue, is a “killer app” to find a use for the
breakthrough, in the same way that web browsers made the internet useful. Some still think
that a currency is the most promising application, but plenty of engineers are throwing other
ideas against the wall to see what sticks. CoinSpark, based in Tel Aviv, is among those who
want to be able to add messages to the bitcoin blockchain. That would be a way of cheaply
notarising information: once something is in the blockchain, it cannot be removed (crypto-
geeks post their wedding vows there).
deep address ness, … as means to document everything and nothing.. if
output matters… input matters
Ethereum, widely seen as the most ambitious crypto-ledger project, wants its blockchain to go
beyond transferring value: it should also be able to execute simple tasks such as verifying if a
party to a contract has fulfilled its side of the bargain. Its boosters think such a machine could
support “smart contracts”, where a computer can verify or enforce an agreement. The next step
is for robots to go into business for themselves, for example a computer server renting out
processing capacity, and using the profits to upgrade itself.
perhaps beyond contracts, beyond badges.
imagine a nother way to live.
20. We’re stuck in an attention economy feedback loop that doesn’t allow us
silent spaces to reflect on issues without news pegs, and in which many of
our areas of collaboration have become toxic, or worse, a toxic
bureaucracy.
We’re stuck in an attention economy feedback loop where we react to the
reactions of reactions … s (while fearing further reactions), and then we
wonder why we’re stuck with groupthink and ideological gridlock.

21. 1 cryptography
starts out as military weapon. gives individuals sovereign type power. individuals w powers
previously only accessible to the state.
Vinay sept 2015 – blockchains-databases-networks (next 9 slides)
https://soundcloud.com/vinay-gupta-17/blockchains-databases-networks
2 databases
(70s-80s) – once you’ve got an abstract algebra you’re able to program. instruct to do what you
want and we’ve got golden age of databases. in essence entire org in database as org’s brain –
originally took very long to move stuff around before databases.
3 networks
(90s) – turn out way better for individuals than for companies. and turns out once they can be
connected all they want to do is talk with each other. but privileged. 1993 – aol offers net access w
dial up – so more allowed in this privileged space. goes from privilege academic space to an
enormous market space – until almost impossible to maintain continuity in or culture w/o channeling
a huge amt of time/attention thru corp that advertise to us.
22. real crux of this
data bases and networks never actually get together…
structures are unlike each other…
networks
fluid.. not structured.. and fantastic for culture but
legibility problem… result – have to continually
innovate in your ability to listen…
2 systems
on completely diff languages… you need chunk of
code in middle to arbitrate thru both networks.
databases are so inflexible..
networks so flexible..
23. as these become civilianized
(rather than military as in creation) – tech so far
ahead of social application to tech that nothing works
properly… tech brokenness evades every area of our
lives
into mess comes the blockchain guys
… bitcoin comes along as summation of all known
cryptography up to that point… forming into an
algebra – that could do something new: blockchain –
do all (network and database) together simultaneous
– produces functional machines
promise of blockchain land
is computers that actually work – to get a medium of
exchange between human beings… so has all
attributes we want and none we fear

what is a blockchain
• 70s: databases
• 90s: networks
• network/database interop problems
• blockchains good networked databases
• smart contracts store software in blockchains
what is a bureaucrat
• an imperial tax collector
• works for the people
• in modern democracy/socialism
• but B=imperialsm
never been repurposed for democracy… incentive for tearing
down B structure w/o taking down society
• there is on B who works for you – agency problem
25. what is transparency
• law you can read
• open sessions in court
• name who made decisions (always systems
decision… no one has to get fired)
• public analysis of fact
• learning changes decisions (so need mechanism
that adapts)
what are our options
• blockchain basic income
• identify each citizen
• transparent payments
• transparent spending
• we could fully understand how people use basic
income
radical econ ish
26. this is a jump – sci fi ish to see what you think
leapfrogging vital
can it really be that easy…
try basic income at whole of society level..
indeed.. something not yet tried.. but need a
bit more.. or we won’t really see us.. our
potential.
ie: deep/simple/open: 3 ship ables
take new tech – implement ie: basic income on top of
laboratory ie: blockchain.. code literally is the law..
