A
Mark,
I
think
somebody's
got
the
they're
they're,
probably
watching
the
live
stream
at
the
same
time
or
something
hey
guys,
how's
it
going
hey,
kyle,
hey
we're,
actually
live
on,
live
stream,
so
hi
everybody
happy
happy
holidays,
no,
fancy,
intro
titles
or
anything.
Today
we
I'm
we're
broadcasting
up
from
up
here
in
the
mountains.
We've
got
mostly
we're
fogged
in
up
here
right
now,
but
you
can
see
a
tree
behind
me
and
I
don't
know
how
good
my
signal
is
from
here.
A
A
C
A
C
B
Yeah,
no,
it
says
it.
No,
we
actually
had
a
great
time.
We
sat
there
and
covered
a
lot
of
ground
there.
C
Not
yet
just
we're
hanging
we've
been
hanging
out
here,
all
just
with
code
going
on
and
just
trying
to
get
through,
all
of
it
and
yeah
trying
to
figure
out
what
where
to
where
to
head
down
there,
probably
probably
will
be
back
here
in
a
little
bit,
yeah
cool,
it's
looking
looking
like
code,
it
might
be
round
and
round
and
round
third
base
here.
A
A
Yeah,
I
don't
know
that
anybody's
even
gonna
be
watching
today,
but
I
guess
I
got
my
wires
crossed.
I
know
you
have
some
things
you
want
to
talk
about
next
wednesday
and
there
we've
had
a
couple
of
new
folks
from
the
from
the
hackathon
one
just
today
asking
to
to
get
some
help
on
some
stuff,
so
they
might
show
up,
but
yeah
we'll
just
make
this
a
quick
one,
sam
hope,
you're
having
a
happy
holiday
mark.
I
hope
you
are
too.
A
I
am,
I
am
very
much
so
yeah
we
made
snowmen,
we
made
a
snowman
yesterday.
It
was
pretty
good
that
with
the
not
a
lot
of
snow
up
here,
but
this
is
enough
to
make
a
snowman.
A
A
A
Yeah
not
not
when
we're
this
close.
Do
you
hear
about
that
that
house
representative
that
just
got
voted
in
and
died
on
the
way
in
I
mean
it's
just
very
tragic.
A
A
A
Well,
we
we
went
from
zero
people
to
well.
No,
we
went
from
a
couple
of
people
and
a
couple
of
companies
to
now.
I
think
we're
pushing
a
thousand
people
that
we
know
about,
and
I
keep
on
hearing
about
a
lot
lots
more
beyond
that.
The
engagement.
A
A
Our
our
5
000th
request
for
a
baseline
token,
what
I
need
to
do
is
get
a
fast
copy
and
paste
routine,
where
I
can
just
hit
a
button
and
reply
to
when,
when
baseline
token
and
say
not
does
not
compute
yeah,
although
I
you
know,
I
think
you
know,
provide
unibright
and
others
in
chain
link
and
others
have
who
do
have
tokens
seem
to
be
making
good
use
of
the
baseline
standards.
So
there
is.
C
That
yeah
baseline
is
a
pretty
pretty
awesome
project
happy
to
be
part
of
it
and
contribute
to
it,
and
this
has
been
a
fun
year
for
it,
and
I
think,
hopefully,
next
year,
we'll
see
some
some
very
early
in
the
year,
some
meaningful
specs
towards
the
standard.
It
really
start
to
take
shape
and
people
get
productive
with
it.
It's
going
to
be
another
exciting
year
next
year,
less
coveted,
more
baseline.
B
That
last
mile
in
the
solution
sets
are
starting
to
sit
there
and
say:
we've
been
going
about
this
the
wrong
way
for
you
know
for
a
long
time
this
you
know
the
baseline
protocol
basically
allows
us
to
achieve
a
lot
of
the
objectives
that
we
were
trying
to
do
with
a
blockchain
implementation.
C
Blockchain
was
very
brutal,
very
brutal
space
still
is,
I
guess,
but
it's
getting
better
well.
Well,
I
I
agree
thanks
to
the
baseline
protocol,
you
know
it's
it's
absolutely.
I
think
baseline
is
like
the
first
thing.
That
really
is
you
can
articulate
and
and
understand.
Black
executives
can
actually
wrap
their
heads
around
it
and
just
because
it
uses
block.
Who
cares?
Who
cares?
Who
uses
blockchain.
B
Well,
it
uses
a
simplicity,
I
mean
we're
not
trying
to
sit
there
and
create
an
entire
different.
You
know
architecture
threat
surface
as
john
likes
to
always
say
and
basically
say
we're,
making
this
process
specific
and
able
that
you
can
sit
there
and
make
sure
everyone's
on
the
same
page.
It's
really
that
simple
yeah.
A
I
think
the
a
big
journey
I
went
on,
I
was
pretty
not
in
favor
of
the
idea
of
layer,
two
solutions
I
mean
clearly,
you
know
the
the
story
that
I
like
is
hey.
You
don't
need
to
set
up
any
new
gear
to
do
an
integration
bus
with
some
new
supplier,
because
the
maintenance
always
on-
and
I
didn't
like
the
idea
of
saying,
oh,
but
by
the
way,
there's
this
other
thing,
this
l2
that
you
might
want
to
do.
And
yes,
we.
C
A
C
A
Didn't
we
we
got
to
talk
to
dental
too
didn't
we,
you
sold
me
on
the
lt.
Well,
I
think
that
there
there's
a
lot
of
utility
there
and
also
you
know
I'm
starting
to
see.
You
know
things
where,
especially
what
I'd
like
to
see.
Isn't
you
know
l2
being
knit
more
and
more
deeply
into
the
main
net
such
that
you
don't
really
have
to
set
up
again
set
up
new
gear
yeah,
because
that
kind
of
ruins
the
story
right?
Oh
hey,
you
know,
don't
use
this.
A
You
know
30
year
old,
very
well,
understood
well
addressed
integration,
bus,
but
because
you've
got
the
main
net.
Oh,
but
also
you
need
to
spin
up
this
other
integration
bus.
It's!
I
don't
love
that
story,
but
I
think
I'm
you
know
especially
for
specialized,
especially
if
we
can
find
ways
for
say
somebody
on
1l2
to
be
able
to
interrupt
across
workflows
with
other
l2s.
A
Right
because
then
you
can
build
a
lot
of
value-added
services
on
an
l2
around
anything
underwriting
to
you
know
other
things.
So
I
think
that's
an
interesting
way
to
go.
C
I
think
the
I
think
the
the
privacy
aspect
of
the
privacy
aspects
of
the
protocol
baseline
are
going
to
be
more
like
reveal
themselves
to
be
more
of
an
l2
like
sort
of
built
in
in
a
way,
in
the
sense
that
one
of
the
big
things
with
with
the
zero
knowledge
stuff
is
all
these
r
d,
all
the
r
d
effort
going
into
the
the
the
protocols
and
these
new
curves
these.
C
You
know
these
new
elliptic
curves
that
you
just
you
can't
use
on
the
mainnet,
because
they're
not
there's
no
precompiles
for
them
in
the
uvm,
and
so
you
want
to
be
able
to
use
the
the
latest
and
greatest.
You
know
encryption
research
or
you
know,
cryptographic,
research,
the
cryptographers
are
doing
lots
of
research
and
making
curves
and
if
you
could
use
those
in
an
l2
and
roll
them
up
and
then
baseline,
using
the
groth
16
the
thing
that
is
pre-compiled
right
now
and
you
just
you
have
like
it.
C
Yeah
you
exit
from
the
the
first
x
number.
You
know,
however,
many
transactions
are
rolled
up
into
that
that
you
know
that
call
it
like
a
what
what's
the
word
fancy
like
a
really
fancy,
the
all
the
fancy
protocols
that
you
used
off
chain
in
the
l2
and
then
you
you
basically
anchor
all
those
on
it
with
the
thing
that's
baked
in
already,
and
it's
it
almost.
It
almost
makes
too
much
sense.
You
know
it's
like
well
that.
A
C
You're,
not
when
I
say
anchoring,
I
don't
mean
like
anchoring
the
proof
of
existence
of
a
file.
I
mean
like
anchoring
the
the
roll-up
state
from
all
of
you
know
the
prism
of
all
of
the
transactions
that
went
into
it
and
the
consensus
the
layer,
two
consensus
that
had
to
go
into
getting
it
there
as
well.
So
it's
not
just
like
hey
here's
a
file,
let's,
let's
check
like
let's
hash
it
and
throw
the
the
the
thing
on
a
blockchain
that.
B
A
That
was
collido
three
years
ago.
Yeah
totally
yeah
is
this
but
yeah.
I
think
I
think
that's
a
good
answer.
I
think
that's.
So
it's
not
just
hashing
proof
of
existence
of
a
particular
database
or
a
particular
state
machine,
but
it's
it's
a
little
more
sophisticated,
but
I
think
we're
going
to
have
to
be
better
in
the
new
year
at
explaining
the
specifics
of
that
and
and
how
there's
utility
in
in
the
approach
that
is
beyond
just
hashing
a
piece
of
middleware.
A
A
I
think
there's
a
real
opportunity
for
companies
in
the
new
year
to
to
come
out
with
really
low
cost
integration.
Bus
offerings
off
of
this
right
so
that
you're
not
spending
a
million
dollars
to
set
up
an
integration
with
some
partner
that
is
doing
so
slow
volume
with
you
that
you
can't
that
really
is
doesn't
justify
the
effort.
A
B
Like
spreadsheet
sas
well
one
of
the
big
messages-
I
you
know
we
start
driving
home
is
probably
you
do
not
have
to
get
rid
of
your
monstrously,
expensive,
erp
system
to
get
this
enhanced
functionality
and
that's
going
to
resonate
really
quickly.
B
Much
like
you
know,
unlike
you
know,
a
lot
of
people
that
are
pitching
blockchain
solutions,
which
are
basically
saying
well
we're
now,
on
a
you
know,
on
a
five
six
year,
amortization
on
our
you
know,
multi-million
dollar
erp
system,
and
now
you
want
us
to
toss
it
for
a
blockchain
solution
and
everything
it's
just
not
going
to
happen.
B
A
No,
you
know,
I
think,
the
the
blockchain
as
database
movement
is
certainly
alive
and
well,
and
I
think
what
I
like
about
it-
and
I
wrote
about
this
a
couple
years
ago
I
like
about
that,
is
that
it's
prioritizing
working
together
collaboration.
A
My
only
worry
is
that
we've
sold
some
folks,
maybe
some
executives
who
don't
really
have
their
eyeballs
on
the
details
of
the
technology
on
some
premises
that
are
mistaken
right
now.
I
think
that
they
probably
don't
most
cxos,
probably
don't
realize
that
when
they
put
their
internal
data
on
a
blockchain,
that's
worth
calling
a
blockchain
that
they've
massively
increased
their
threat
surface.
A
A
It
doesn't
feel
like
that
to
me,
there's
been
successes,
but
they
aren't.
You
know
you
don't
see
this
like
avalanche
of
of
that
happening.
Maybe
it
just
takes
longer.
I
don't
know,
but
to
me
it's
just.
I
think
it's
probably
because
as
a
cso,
I
don't
think
one
would
readily
want
to
do
it,
but
let's
go
back
to
look
so
what?
What
else
did
we
accomplish?
This
year
we
got
the
first,
the
first
project
that
looks
like
it's
going
to
production
out
on
baselining
and
we've
got
the
first,
the
first
summit.
A
Yeah
we've
got
the
first
standards
body
working
on
you
know,
so
we
should
have
us
a
draft
standard
for
submission
to
oasis
and,
ultimately
to
you,
know,
iso
or
ieee,
or
what
have
you
in
2021?
A
What
what
else
have
we.
B
A
There's
been
a
ton
of
stuff
lots
of
the
first
second
third,
fourth,
fifth,
sixth
demos,
the
first
dot
release.
C
A
A
bit
it's
been
a
good
year,
I
think
next
year
could
be
even
more
fun
to
be,
and.
B
A
C
You've
done
it,
you've
done
a
nice
job,
chairing
the
tsc
and
getting
stuff
pulled
together,
and
I
think
the
rest
of
the
tfc
has
done
a
good
job
and
sam
you've
done
a
great
job,
good
job
man.
A
Yeah,
sam
yeah,
well
the
whole
team,
sam
brian
tj,
you
know
tj.
Over
the
other
day,
our
designer
was
like
yeah.
A
Reminiscing
about
how
we
came
up
with
the
baseline
logo
and
and
it
was
fun
to
talk
about
that-
tj
jamalesky
great
designer
everybody,
hi
bob.
A
Oops
bob,
you
have
to
kill
one
of
your
bob.
You
have
to
kill.
C
C
A
All
right,
we,
I
think
the
five
of
us
gave
the
die
hard
award
for
showing
up
a
day
before
new
year's.
I
did
promise
that
if
there
were
any
hackathon
participants
that
needed
help,
that
would
be.
A
I'm
proud
of
the
our
you
know:
we
we
all
of
us
have
had
a
real
commitment
to
helping
people
out.
I
don't
think
there's
been
a
person,
that's
come
in
asking
for
help
that
hasn't
gotten
it
right
away.
That's
the
sign
of
a
good
technology
movement.
To
be
honest,
I
remember
that
for
java
you
know
there
was
always
somebody
out
there
and
we
we
don't
have
anything
like
the
numbers.
Yet
you
know
that
java
had
we've
also
you
know,
but
maybe
we
do
actually
con
considering
when
96
was
the
first
java
one.
A
I
think,
and
you
know
by
98.99
there
were
two
million
java
developers.
If
I
remember
my
numbers
correctly,
I
could
be
that
could
be
wrong,
but
I
think
it
was
pretty
close.
It's
really
by
2000.,
but
yeah
eight
months
in.
I
think
it
was
not
nearly
that.
So
I
think
we've
been
everybody
involved
in
the
community.
What
I
want
to
see
is
you
know
more
kyles,
more
sams,
more
people
stepping
up
to
be
maintainers
and-
and
you
know
clearly
the
way
your
careers
have
gone.
A
You
got
you
know
and
ana
esa
frank
as
well.
Many
people
that
have
distinguished
themselves
in
this
community
like
to
see
more
of
that
in
2021.
A
We've
gotten
quite
a
few
hackathon
signups
already
sam
kyle
you've
been
fielding
a
lot
of
the
the
the
questions
I
know.
One
big
question
was
was
about
the
the
persistence
package.
A
Yeah
do.
D
A
C
D
Oh
yeah
that
I
was
just
gonna
say
the
same
thing.
What
what's
there
in
the
persistence
package
at
the
moment
is,
is
it
definitely
a
skeleton
and
it
was
meant
to
help
guide
initial
thoughts,
but
it
it's
definitely
not
fleshed
out
in
any
meaningful
way.
So
so
that.
A
C
We
could
so
my
myron
from
fro
frown
over
is
actually
working
on.
So
I
I
have
been
working
on
like
some
an
update
to
the
skeleton
to
make
it
less
of
a
skeleton
and
more
of
at
least
an
initial
example
that
did
in
memory
like
an
in-memory
example,
so
that,
instead
of
in
bri,
one
where
there's
like
an
in-memory
provide
like.
C
In
memory
it
would
actually
use
the
persistence
package
to
do
that
and
then
sam
and
I
recently
added
some
significant
meat
on
the
bone
of
the
types
package
that
flesh
out
a
lot
of
the
of
the
types
that
you
actually
need
to.
C
You
know
integrate
the
persistence
layer,
so
myrons
miners
actually
putting
together
that
and
like
I
gave.
A
C
The
the
small
amount
of
you
know,
effort
that
I
put
in
and
he's
running
with
it,
and
I
think
he'll
probably
make
a
pr
in
the
next
couple
days
and
that.
C
A
D
D
A
That
was
part
of
the
problem.
The
other
part
was,
I
didn't.
I
we
didn't
put
a
reference
to
lyme
chain's
good
work
on
the
on
the
on
the
google
spreadsheet
example,
which
you
could
practically
cut
and
paste
for
half
of
your
work
right
there
right
to
get
to
the
excel
challenge
tuning
in
who
don't
know
what
we're
talking
about.
We
have
a
a
git
coin,
hackathon
challenge
that
you
can
get
to
just
look
up.
Git
coin
hackathon
baseline
protocol
and
you'll
find
it
you
can
you
still
can
join
it?
A
It's
it
will
be
it
it's
still
running
until
the
27th
of
january
and
then
and
then
we'll.
You
know
we'll
we'll
declare
winners
in
you
know,
probably
in
february
early
in
february,
as
as
we
judge
out,
one
of
them
is
for
a
thousand
dollars
in
eve
just
to
do
pull
requests
so
any
pull
requests.
You
do
on
the
baseline
protocol
that
get
merged
by
the
maintainers
you
can
share
in
the
thousand
dollar
pool
and.
C
A
C
Someone
who
has
we
have
not
seen
before
in
the
community,
made
a
pr
and
edited
the
code,
the
code
owner's
file
and
added
himself
to
it.
It
was
oh.
A
Cool
it
was,
it
was
great.
Well,
you
know,
if
you
decide
to
merge
that,
then
they
get
to
be
in
the
pool.
If
you
don't,
then
you
know
the
maintainers
get
to
decide
trying
to
do.
The
excel
challenge
should
probably
know
right
that
they
that
they
they
should
look
for
in.
In
examples,
slash
example
slash,
there
is
a
is
the
the
the
spreadsheet
baselining
in
a
spreadsheet
example,
and
I
think
a
couple
people
didn't
have
a
hard
time
finding
that
that's
right.
A
I
also
think
a
lot
of
stuff
is
a
lot
of
stuff
has
come
a
long
way.
C
Since,
since
the
I
mean
yeah,
that
was
great
work
by
lion
chain
and
blind
chain
rocks,
but
I
think
there's
some
work
from
myron
that'll,
be,
if
you
take
it,
take
the
lion
chain,
effort
and
myron's
effort
together.
I
think
they
put
that
together
and
you'll
have
a
nice
picture.
A
I'm
seeing
here
somebody
somebody
enjoyed,
I
I
tweeted
the
other
day.
I
was
playing
battleship
with
my
seven-year-old
daughter,
and
it
gave
me
this
funny
insight
about
baselining,
because
she
wasn't
really
diligent
in
putting
the
white
and
red
dots
in
the
where
you
know
where
she
had
hits
and
misses,
and
so,
as.
A
The
same
location
multiple
times,
I'm
like
you've,
hit
me
there
before
she's
like
no
because
seven-year-olds,
that's
a
big
thing
for
seven-year-olds,
you
know
and
then
we'd
have
to
have
a
discussion
and
a
battle
of
wills
over
whose
board
was
correct
and
I'm
like.
Oh
my
gosh.
This
is
a
not
baselined
battleship
game
right.
A
You
know
if
I
could
have
pointed
to
the
proof
on
the
main
net
that
d3
it
was
already
a
hit.
Then
that
would
have
been
the
end
of
that
argument.
Well,
maybe
not
because
seven-year-olds
aren't
really
into.
A
A
I
think
that's
somebody
trying
to
squeeze
their
feet
into
into
snow
boots.
That's
what
that
is.
So
I
guess
we're
at
the
bottom
of
the
hour.
A
We
didn't
get
any
particular
questions,
but,
as
everybody
should
know,
we
we
we
go
on
the
slack,
go
onto
baseline,
protocol.org
and
and
get
on
the
slack
ask
ask
a
question
get
into
the
bitcoin
hackathon.
A
You
still
have
time,
there's
still
twenty
ten
thousand
dollars,
u.s
and
eth
to
be
doled
out
at
the
end
of
it,
and
and
folks
like
kyle
and
and
sam
and
others
are,
are
here
to
help
you
and
you
know,
I've
been.
A
I'm
I've
been
hesitating
to
mention
this,
because
I
don't
want
to
make
a
big
thing
out
of
it,
but
I
will
say
I
guess
I'll
say
that
karthik
solopreneur
and
I
karthik
from
eny-
and
I
got
a
nice
chance
to
to
over
to
brief
vitalik
buterin
on
baseline
the
other
day.
He
was
very
kind
to
spend
some
time
with
us
to
understand
it,
and
I
don't
want
to
make
any
claims
for
his
point
of
view
about
it
at
this
point.
A
That
would
be
inappropriate
for
me
to
do,
but
it
was
nice
to
that.
He
got
a
full
brief
from
us
about
what
was
going
on
and
didn't
seem
to
hate
anything
in
particular
and
found.
You
know
it
seemed
like
he
found
some
some
things
around
the
zero
knowledge
work
to
be
quite
interesting,
and
so
that
was
a
great
time
and
he
didn't
he
didn't
find
it.
We
didn't
find
anything
specifically
wrong
about
baselining
with
with
italic.
A
So
that
was
a
good
moment
for
us
and
I
think
it
was
fun
for
karthik
to
have
some
time
with
him
and
and
so
we're
really
grateful
for
him
to
to
spend
that
time.
He'd
been
asked
about
baselining
a
little
while
ago,
and
so
we
thought
it
was
probably
time
to
give
him
a
brief,
and
that
was
a.
It
was
a
fun
time.
A
So
so
that's
another
first,
so
we
went
from
nobody
knowing
about
baseline
to
one
of
the
founders
of
ethereum
getting
briefed,
so
that
was
probably
the
capstone
of
the
year
and
let's
see
what
happens
in
2021
awesome.
C
And
yes,
karthik
is
awesome
too,
so
I
know
he's
not
here
but
shout
out
to
karthik
for
being
being
awesome.
A
All
right,
okay,
everybody,
oh,
I
will
say
one
thing
that
metallic
really
did
seem
to
like
a
lot.
We
started
to
told
them
about
all
the
volunteering,
and
I
mentioned
you
guys.
I
mentioned
all
of
you
and
mentioned
some
other
folks,
and
he
you
could
tell
that
was
the
the
moment
that
he
you
could
tell
he
really
liked
that
the
most.
C
C
On
don't
make
me
cry,
I'm
going
to
tear
up
over
here
yeah.
