In this episode, we discuss ‘The Validator Commons’, an initiative that was started via Metagov.org to create a space for blockchain validators to coordinate and cooperate in their role as operators and governors of public blockchains. This exciting conversation covers some of the dynamics, challenges, and controversies of blockchain validators - a little understood but incredibly important aspect of blockchain governance. This episode was recorded live at the ‘What’s Governing Web3?’ conference in Melbourne in December, 2022.
In this special episode as the third installment in the ‘Digital Ethnography in Blockchain & Governance Reading Group, we’re joined by ethnographer Ellie Rennie and speculative fiction scholar Kola Heyward-Rotimi to discuss a co-authored piece that took place at ‘Decentralized Web Camp’ in 2022. We discuss speculative fiction as a method, “LARPing”, and reflecting on one’s own research methods in Web3.
In this episode, we’re joined by Dane Lund from AllianceDAO and resident legal scholar Dr. Aaron Lane to talk about DAO labour and the legal risks of participating in DAOs, DAO policy developments, and the future possibilities of DAOs. Please note that none of this episode is intended as legal advice.
We’re back, with the ‘Digital Ethnography in Blockchain Reading Group’, session 2. Kelsie, Tara & CEnt are joined by Quinn DuPont, author of a number of quintessential blockchain studies, including “Experiments in algorithmic governance: A history and ethnography of “The DAO”, a failed decentralised autonomous organization”. Learn about ethnographic methods, grounded theory, and current research interests
In this wide-ranging and engaging episode we are joined by computer scientists Dr Thomas Hardjono from MIT Connection Science lab . We discuss Web3.0, data, cooperative data governance models, identity, and trust from an interdisciplinary perspective. “At the end of the day it’s about human beings, it's about societies, it's about communities. It's not about technology”.
In this episode, we’re joined by Angela Kreitenweis, Founder Token Engineering Academy and Dr Imon Palit to discuss token engineering as an interdisciplinary method and the launch of the token engineering academy. Don’t miss the launch of the Token Engineering Academy at Tokenengineering.org
In this special episode, we share the recording from the kick off of the ‘Digital Ethnography in Blockchain & Governance’ Reading group, co-organised by Kelsie Nabben, RMIT University, Tara Merk, BlockchainGov, & Cent Hosten from Metagov. We’re joined by guest Wassim Alsindi, who is a seasoned researcher, designer, and critical thinker - involved in Bitcoin, creative arts production through 0xSalon, and MIT Computational Law Journal, among other projects. This is the first in a monthly series that we hope to share on the podcast.
In this episode, we continue to endeavour to max tax fun with an update on the Australian Federal Government's announced 'token mapping' exercise and updates on the Board of Taxation. We also focus overseas on legal insights into the Tornado Cash situation. Our RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub experts are joined by Danny Talwar from the crypto tax platform 'Koinly'. Please note, this is not financial, tax, or legal advice.
What does it mean that Bitcoin was able to achieve "a reliable system out of unreliable parts"? In this episode, we take a historical look at the development of permissionless blockchain technologies, including the Byzantine Fault Tolerant problem and the application of economic market theory to computational science. We also touch on recent events in permissionless systems, including the announcement of US sanctions on Tornado Cash.
In this episode, we explore some essential end of financial year crypto considerations, including airdrops, DAO tokens, and the shifting tax landscape. Please note, this is not formal tax advice.
