As many know I tend to post about projects. In many cases I either have a stake in these projects or I wish I had a stake. In some cases I would like a bigger stake in these projects and will use the earnings from the post to increase my stake.
I've posted on iExec, on Tauchain, on Golem, on Ethereum, on EOS, on Tezos. I've also made it known that in the case of EOS, on iExec, on Tezos, I will blog about these projects and use some of the earnings to buy a stake in these projects. This is a scenario which I consider to be win win, both for the projects which I bring attention to and for myself as a means of acquiring a stake in these projects whilst maintaining a level of independence.
Let's discuss EOS
Because EOS has a very unique designed fundraising model where each day we can donate some amount to get some amount, this means every day that I blog and receive beyond a certain threshold in up votes I can then begin buying EOS tokens. So expect to see me blogging quite a bit about EOS during the fundraising period and understand that when you upvote my posts on the topic that you're helping me to secure a stake in EOS. I have a similar strategy for Tezos, for iExec, so supporters of these projects who appreciate my blog posts be sure to upvote. Aligning my interests with your favorite projects will only allow me to direct more attention to these projects and also improve the quality of my blog postings about them.
Let's discuss Tauchain
Tauchain currently is in a stasis. When it emerges from stasis then I will begin a new blogging spree on the topic of Tauchain. I do not expect Agoras (AGRS) to be the only token or only project built on Tauchain. I will blog about new projects built on top of Tauchain which are not created by Ohad and team when the time comes.
Definitely very interesting stuff!
Can you give me a paragraph about tauchain?
Tauchain is a project made up of a meta language (TML) a collaborative development, and a consensus mechanism. Tau Meta Language (TML) is the core element allowing you to communicate to machines so think of it as the ultimate compiler although maybe compiler isn't the most accurate term. The collaborative model checking element is part of what allows for the collaborative development mechanism to be enabled by program synthesis. The consensus mechanisms is up for debate but Ohad and some others favor proof of work while I favor delegated proof of stake (similar to Graphene). I see no good reason for the waste and inefficiency of proof of work when the security in practice is pretty much the same as what you get here on Steem with delegated proof of stake. Of course this will be the first real debate and the Tau discussion component is one of the most important because it will allow us to arrive at a solution which satisfies most of our collective requirements.
Well this is pretty interesting
I've never heard of these other projects except for EOS
Thanks!
I appreciate you taking us to school on these things. I am still learning and I sense there is a vast wealth of info out there with folks like you being gracious to share. Thanks and best wishes.
nice meet you. follow you.
no bad ;)
quite educative...nice post
I think ive seen some of your videos. do you have a youtube?
thanks for the info.
interesting, thanks for the information
Hi Dana. Do you know when the Tauchain whitepaper will be released? I want to help out the project but I will not fully commit to it until I read the new whitepaper. Frankly, I think the whole "don't release the whitepaper because of potential competitors" argument is foolish. I have serious concerns about the game theoretic soundness of Tau's root chain, given there are no miner incentives, for instance. And lets not pretend that the root chain will be just be secured with app tokens such as Agoras, which Ohad suggested. There's absolutely no way that will work. I think the community needs to see the whitepaper while there is still time to discuss. Please, at least convince Ohad to have someone well-versed in mechanism design to read the new whitepaper so he can receive honest feedback. I'm only writing this because I think Tauchain has too much potential not to. Thanks.
