In today?'?s episode we look at spank chain, an adult industry cryptocurrency payment system built using Ethereum. Currently, financial intermediaries in the adult entertainment industry exploiting their position to impose arbitrary rules on content by refusing to serve participants who produce content a specific payment processor finds objectionable. The effect of this is to persecute already marginalized groups like trans men and women and as well as severing the income of both individuals and businesses in a one hundred Billion dollar industry. Using payment channels and a novel ethereum based tech stack, Ameen Soleimani and Janice Griffith aim to liberate the adult industry from exploitation by evil financial intermediaries. Soon there may be a place so spend ether. This episode contains graphic descriptions of pornographic content so if that makes you feel uncomfortable you?'?ll want to give this one a miss.

We were joined by Founder Adam Perlow and Developer Asher Manning of Zen, a public blockchain project focused on building a decentralized financial system. The core premise of Zen is that none of the public blockchain networks are focused on financial asset. Zen is aiming to fill that gap through a Bitcoin-like UTXO architecture that supports multiple asset and smart contracts to enforce complex ownership rules. We talked through their original design choices, their use of formal verification, connection to Bitcoin and vision for a fully decentralized financial system. Topics discussed in this episode:Why existing public blockchains are ill-suited for financial instrumentsWhy Zen chose to use a Bitcoin-like UTXO architectureHow Zen uses formal verification to allow smart contracts without a virtual machine or needing gasHow the Active Contract Set reduces the burden on the minersWalking through creating, trading and settling a call option on ZenHow Zen allows payments to be settled in BitcoinGetting data from the outside world with oraclesZen's use of Proof-of-Work regulated by on-chain governance Links mentioned in this episode: Zen Protocol - A Financial EngineZen Protocol - WhitepaperZen Protocol - DeckGoogle Campus Presentation - YouTubeZen - Alpha VersionZen Protocol Founders Film - YouTubeOracles and Zen ?'"

Then Juan Galt comes on to talk about the Dash proposal in which he is involved and the upcoming Anarchapulco conference.

On tonight's episode of "The Crypto Show," Danny has finally made it to Mexico City, although sans his RV because of bureaucratic issues. He and Jose Rodriguez of Bitso join us from Danny's hotel room to talk about the earthquake relief efforts that are planned, including visiting orphanages to help out children, who are often the worst-affected by such natural disasters.

In between some connection issues, we also discuss the upcoming Bitcoin Latin American Conference, as well as the Dash conference in Caracas, Venezuela, that Danny will be attending. I also ramble here and there when it's just me on the line.

On tonight's episode of "The Crypto Show," we talk to Juan Galt, who gives us a counterpoint to Roger Ver's defense and promotion of Bitcoin Cash by defending Bitcoin Core. We discuss the various issues related to that debate, as well as Dash and other cryptos, Komodo, and Anarchapulco. He gives some very good analysis in support of his contrary position to Roger's, making it even harder to determine what to think (so just hold on to both coins).
