Colin LeMahieu is the creator of the cryptocurrency Nano. He agreed to come on and chat for a bit about who he is and why Nano became what it is today. While most of his public appearances to date have focused on the technicals of the chain, this interview provides window into the life of Colin and provides some genuine insight into where he sees Nano (and crypto in general) going. A couple things were clear to me in this interview. First, Colin has the best of intentions and second, he is freaking smart.
 
Nanocast exists to educate people about the crypto-currency Nano. Led by a driven team, this fast, zero-fee and scalable digital currency has quickly inspired thousands to build a robust ecosystem of apps and services. Whether a crypto-enthusiast or a curious bystander, here you will get a glimpse of the exciting developments happening in and around Nano - the currency of the future.

Need to buy Nano, but don’t know what exchange to use? Binance is one of the largest exchanges in the world, has an easy to use interface and is more or less free from glitches. I have personally always had a great experience and would recommend it. If you want to use Binance and share some love, use my referral link!

There are two ways for the community to support the Nano network and in turn make it more secure and decentralized. The easiest way is to open/login to your Nano wallet and change your representative to a trusted rep. You can view information about nodes at nanonode.ninja and the Nano Node Monitor (if the owner has it configured).
 
The second and more difficult way to support the network is by setting up a node. Nodes help decentralize the voting that takes place on the Nano chain. You can learn more about that here: https://bit.ly/2qmEJoq
 
Or you can just go buy a pod. nanocast.co/pod
 
Setting up a node can be really easy and is relatively inexpensive. The first thing you will need to host a node is a server. This can be hosted locally or you can buy server space from a third party. I use Digital Ocean and so far have had a great experience. In addition there are lots of guides written with Digital Ocean in mind. Once you have your droplet you can follow this quick and easy guide: https://nanotools.github.io/easy-nano-node/digitalocean.html (If you have any questions about setting up nodes, Reddit and the Discord are great resources).
