Episode 89 - Mind-blowing ideas in journalism using NFTs

Good morning! This morning , after some banter, I look at two of my current favorite projects. They both have to do with decentralized journalism. They use NFTs in different ways to create their media platforms. One as a website and/or API with gated NFT access, and the other that makes the news via livestream as a daily NFT you can buy and have dropped in your wallet on a daily basis!

Episode 86 - Be sure to revoke unlimited spending and token approvals on your wallets!

Good morning! In this episode I talk some about token approvals and unlimited spending. All of this is in light of the hack 3 days ago of Opensea.io at exactly the time Opensea was presenting at ETH Denver. It would not be too far off to say that the hack was planned exactly that way.

Episode 85 - Some Denver debrief - MIDAO and Shipyard Software

Good morning! This is my first episode back from Denver and comfortable in my own home office studio. I give a little recap on my time in Denver and some of my experiences (I am sure I will be recapping for the whole week). I also browse through one of the project being presented at DAO Denver that is centered around incorporating DAOs as legal entities in the Marshal Islands. MIDAO.org and one of the first DAOs, Shipyard Software, that has been incorporated there.

Episode 83 - (warning: bad audio quality) - Morning thoughts on the crypto space and social engineering

Good morning! Apologies for the audio quality. I don't have my normal mic with me this morning. I also thought I was screen-sharing and I wasn't. Rough go this morning! This morning I livestream from my hotel in Denver before I go to do setup at DAO Denver 2022. www.daodenver.org I get into a thread that is a bit of a case study on social engineering and how to look out for it. Social engineering to me just basically seems like a fancy work for being a con artist!

Episode 82 - Wallowing around in the recent LEO token, Bitfinex, Razzlekhan, BTC drama

Good morning! In case you have been under a rock in the crypto world you must have seen the headlines depicting spicy images of the female rapper Razzlekhan who has been arrested for the possession of the $3.6 billion Bitfinex exchange hack. Well, that's not all there is to it. I dig into the Bitfinex exchange and the LEO token a little bit so you know more than just the sensational "female rapper stole BTC" headlines with a spicy photo tell you.

Episode 81 - Headed to Denver for my next crypto frontier

Good morning! Pardon my enthusiasm, but this episode I spend the entire time talking about the trip I am taking to Denver next week to attend DAO Denver and ETH Denver. I'm driving there from Austin. I'm going to be a helping hand at DAO Denver and attend ETH Denver. I don't have a hotel, no concrete plans except to check in at the venue where I will be volunteering. I will be walking around with a recording device and interviewing people. So if you see me, say hi! Let me ask you a few questions for the recorder. If you skate, let's go hit up some spots! If you feel so inclined, go donate to DAO Denver so we can refund the tickets and pay for this event.

Episode 80 - Morning reflections on web 3, Juicebox, and not so smart contracts

Good morning! This morning I talk about DAODenver and how they are using Juicebox.money app to raise funds in a Kickstarter sort of way, and then I read and article written by Andre Cronje titled "Not so smart contracts" that is a reflection on code automation vs human involvement. I found this especially interesting in light of current events in the web 3 space which seem to have more human involvement than web 3 should allow.
