B
For
joining
us
again
on
this
weekly
podcast,
where
we
talk
about
what
we
think
is
a
really
innovative
project
in
the
blockchain
space.
Now
before
we
get
started,
it's
important
that
we
mentioned
that
we
are
not
being
paid
to
make
this
podcast
we're
not
paid
by
block
one
we're
not
paid
by
anybody
else.
We're
doing
it
because
we
love,
you
know
some
we're
super
excited
about
it.
B
As
a
final
note,
this
podcast
should
not
be
construed
as
financial,
legal,
tax
or
professional
advice
of
any
kind,
we're
simply
discussing
our
opinions
about
open
source
software
and
a
product
that
we
love.
So
again,
do
your
own
due
diligence
before
you
make
any
financial
decisions,
but
this
should
not
be
construed
as
investment
advice
on
today's.
A
B
First,
let's
start
with
some
US
news,
so
the
second
version
of
the
es
white
paper
was
actually
pushed
to
the
EOS
github,
it's
where
they
store
all
their
code
on
March
18th.
So
there
are
a
bunch
of
improvements
since
last
summer,
last
June
or
July
I
believe
when
the
original
white
paper
was
published.
Some
of
the
changes
include
improvements
to
the
consensus,
algorithm
governance
inter
blockchain
communication
and
more,
and
it
was
interesting
to
see
reading
through
it.
They
also
kind
of
streamlined
the
white
paper
itself.
So
it's
a
lot
easier
to
understand.
A
The
major
chain,
the
most
notable
change,
is
in
the
voting
mechanism
as
part
of
the
blockchain
platform.
They
have
a
all
the
token
holders
have
a
vote
on
changes
to
the
platform
and
and
who
the
block
producers
are
going
to
be,
which
are
the
equivalent
to
miners
on
the
US
platform
and
delegated
proof
of
stake.
But
before
the
voting
was
very
long.
A
Yet
the
if
you
wanted
to
vote
for
a
block
producer
at
the
stake,
your
tokens
into
the
system
and
essentially
lock
them
in
and
you
couldn't
pull
them
out
for
how
long
was
our
six
several
months
so
six
months
and
in
the
new
white
paper
they
shorten
that
to
less
than
a
week.
So
that's
a
huge
change,
because,
with
the
way
it
was
Prior,
it
was
a
good
idea,
but
it
kind
of
prevented
your
smaller
retail
investors
from
actually
wanting
to
vote
because
they
don't
want
to
lock
in
a
six-month
commitment
for
their
vote.
B
Yeah
and
one
of
the
other
significant
changes,
bring
it
down
from
six
months
to
three
days.
Also,
is
the
fact
that
now,
instead
of
just
staking
your
tokens
for
bandwidth
or
just
taking
them
for
voting,
you
can
do
both
so
dab
developers,
which
we'll
talk
about
a
little
today,
can
now
also
vote.
In
addition
to
staking
for
resources
to
actually
run
their
DAP,
and
they
are
arguably
the
best
equipped
to
make
those
voting
decisions.
So
that's.
A
Not
the
takeaway
from
the
other
changes,
the
inter
blockchain
communication
is
huge,
but
that's
a
topic
for
another
episode.
There
were
a
few
other
big
announcements,
I
think
the
biggest
ones
coming
on
April
6,
there's
actually
somewhat
two
announcements,
because
yeah
there's
going
to
be
an
announced,
iOS
meetup
in
Hong
Kong,
not
nothing's,
really
been
said
what
the
topics
of
discussion
are
gonna
be,
but
there
happens
to
be
something
else
going
on
in
April
6,
which
is
the
dawn
3.0
launched
on
the
eos
test
net.
You
want
to
talk
about
that.
B
If
you're
not
sure
what
dawn
3.0
is
it's
basically
the
third
version
of
the
actual
software?
So
if
you
think
about
it,
they've
been
building
the
software
since
I
think
early
2017,
if
not
sooner,
maybe
2016
before
they
announced
a
native
project,
but
the
third
version
of
it
is
launching
on
the
test
net
by
April,
6th
and
what's
really
significant
about.
B
This
third
version
is
not
just
the
improvements,
but
the
fact
that
it's
what's
called
a
release
candidate,
so
a
release
candidate
in
the
software
world
is
basically
final
software
that
will
then
be
released
to
the
public.
So
the
code
that
they
just
finished
is
now
done
way
ahead
of
schedule
for
the
June
1st
blockchain
launch.
Excuse
me,
June
3rd
blockchain,
launch
I
believe
it
is,
which
is
a
really
good
sign
of
means
all
the
codes
done
now.
B
A
So,
for
those
who
don't
understand
what
a
test
net
is
it's
a
step
prior
to
a
main
net
launch,
which
is
the
actual
production
launch
that
the
everyday
user
is
going
to
use
whenever
the
platform
actually
launches?
In
June,
it's
gonna
be
launched
by
121
independent
block
producers,
who
are
essentially
people
with
staked
interest
in
the
platform
who
are
running
a
data
center
and
producing
blocks
for
the
blockchain.
B
Yeah,
what's
unique
about
it.
Instead
of
just
setting
up
a
miner
like
in
the
Bitcoin
network
and
having
your
own
governance
control
there,
you
actually
have
to
be
voted
in
by
the
token
holders
to
become
a
block
producer.
So
there's
there's
really
a
lot
of
governance
control
there,
that
that
brings
the
control
away
from
the
miners
or
the
block
producers
and
back
into
the
hands
of
users,
which
is
the
way
it
should
be
so.
A
If
you
can
imagine,
when
the
production
launch
happens
in
June,
it's
going
to
be
globally
distributed,
servers
and
block
producers
all
over
the
world.
A
lot
of
them
have
already
announced
their
participation,
and
literally
every
major
city
on
the
globe
is
trying
to
take
part
in
the
es
maintenance,
but
for
the
tests
net.
It's
a
it's
a
localized
version
that
block
one
is
actually
running,
I
believe
they're
using
Amazon
Cloud
yeah.
B
I
know
block
one
I
think
has
their
own
local
test
net,
that
they're
using
internally,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
community
tests.
That's
also
where
a
couple
different
blackberries
are
candidates.
I
basically
set
them
up
and
are
running
multiple
nodes
just
to
test
the
software
and
make
sure
that
their
hardware
is
is
gonna
perform.
Well
when
it
comes
to
launch
day
yeah.
A
Because
because
the
software
is
open
source,
anyone
can
download
the
code
from
github
and
anyone
can
launch
their
own
test
net
right
now.
If
you,
if
you
have
the
ability
to
run
a
server,
you
could
run
your
own
test
net,
essentially
but
dawn
3.0
is
going
to
be
the
closest
thing
to
a
production
version
we've
seen
so
far
and
Dan
Larimer
the
CTO
of
block
dot
one
and
us
as
that's,
really
excited
about
it
and
with
it
being
on
the
same
day
as
their
Hong
Kong
meetup.
A
B
And
going
back
to
that,
April
6th,
Hong,
Kong
meetup,
it's
interesting
on
the
actual
schedule
for
the
meetup,
it's
similar
to
the
one
that
they
had
in
Korea
a
couple
months
ago,
where
they
announced
Mike,
Novogratz
and
Galaxy
digital,
putting
up
along
with
block
one
I,
think
325
million
dollars
in
funding
for
ghio
snaps,
so
it'll
be
interesting
to
see.
If
we
see
that
same
sort
of
announcement,
there
is
like
a
20-minute
block
on
that
schedule.
That
says
special
announcement.
So
it
could
just
be
you
know:
hey!
A
For
anyone
who
wasn't
following
the
project
back
in
January
whenever
they
had
the
last
big
meetup
that
Rob
just
mentioned
they
typically
within
a
week
of
the
meetup
they'll,
typically
put
out
a
YouTube
video
of
all
of
the
highlights
and
at
the
last
one
they
actually
live
streamed
and
there's
a
small
20-minute
portion
of
it.
Also
with
the
major
in
and
I
believe,
they're
doing
that.
A
B
A
B
A
That's
across
280
123
hour
periods,
every
23
hours,
blocked
out.
One
starts
a
new
round
of
investment
where
people
contribute
their
etherium
and
everyone
pulls
together
their
aetherium,
and
it
goes
towards
two
million
tokens
pretty
much
after
23
hours.
They
take
the
total
aetherium
committed
to
the
IC
o----
and
they
divide
it
by
200
and
distribute
it
to
whoever
committed
their
ether
to
the
ICM.
So.
B
B
So
if
you
think
of
a
lot
of
other
icos
generally,
when
there's
a
very
popular
project
like
eos,
the
IC
o----
will
last
for
you
know,
30
seconds
or
an
hour,
and
it
will
sell
out
mostly
to
a
few
big
whales
who
then
kind
of
control
the
entire
system
and
with
a
system
like
eos,
where
votes
are
governance
control,
you
really
need
to
make
sure
that
there
aren't
a
ton
of
whales
who
can
come
in
and
control
the
entire
system.
So.
A
So
it's
quite
interesting
that
that's
such
a
big
number
2.5,
almost
2.6
billion
dollars,
so
there's
a
lot
of
skepticism
with
that
number,
because
why?
Why
would
a
tech
company
need
that
much
money
to
develop
pretty
much
an
alpha
software
and
the
reason
behind
it
is
because
of
these
venture
capital
partners,
yeah.
B
Oh
snap
cos
decentralized,
app,
so
projects
that
are
building
on
EOS
that
maybe
would
have
launched
an
IC
o----,
but
now
instead
are
getting
funding
directly
from
block
one
and
their
VC
partners
and
then
their
air-dropping
their
tokens
or
giving
them
away
for
free
to
those
people
that
already
own
es
tokens.
So.
A
Let's
kind
of
discuss
the
traditional
IC
o----
model,
so
if
a
company
wanted
to
launch-
let's
say
in
aetherium
DAP
on
the
etherium
network
and
they
wanted
to
launch
an
IC
o----
most,
you
guys
are
probably
familiar
with
this,
but
typically
the
investor
commits
aetherium
in
exchange
for
future
tokens
on
whatever
the
DAP
or
platform
is
that
they
wanted
to
invest
in.
So
it's
a
trade,
their
trading
aetherium
for
a
token
that
they
perceive
might
have
a
future
utility
or
increase
in
value
or
whatever.
A
The
reason
is
for
investing
in
it,
but
it's
a
trade,
whereas
with
eos
they're
kind
of
taking
the
money
from
their
IC
o----
and
they're
committing
it
back
into
the
platform
to
make
it
even
stronger
what
they
want
to
do
is
they
want
to
create
essentially
grant
program.
So
anyone
with
a
great
idea
that
they
think
could
be
innovative
enterprise
level.
A
It's
going
to
change
the
world
instead
of
going
to
a
crowd
fund
model
where
they
they
need
to
do
a
bunch
of
marketing
and
get
the
word
out
convince
people
why
they
should
be
investing
money
into
it.
Instead
of
doing
that,
they're
gonna
work
directly
with
these
venture
capital
companies
who
already
have
their
finger
on
the
pulse
of
the
industry.
They
already
work
with
all
the
best
companies,
so
instead
of
taking
investment
money
from
retail
investors,
what
they're
going
to
do
is
they're
gonna
apply
for
for
these
grants.
B
And
what's
so
so
innovative
about
this
model
is
that
just
by
holding
an
EOS
token,
you're
gonna
get
all
these
air
drops
for
free.
So,
instead
of
having
to
go
out
and
say,
hey
I'm,
gonna
trade,
some
AOS
or
some
aetherium
for
these
Avera
pedia
tokens,
these
IQ
tokens,
if
you
hold
the
EOS
you're
gonna,
get
the
IQ
sent
to
you
totally
free
they're,
not
gonna,
sell
any
of
it.
They're
just
gonna
give
it
away
to
the
people
that
hold
es.
B
So
you
can
imagine,
then,
when
there's
a
billion
dollars
and
depending
on
how
much
of
you
know,
each
VC
company
is
actually
putting
up
their
own
money
versus
taking
some
a
block
ones
money,
maybe
even
more
than
a
billion
dollars
dedicated
to
these
dabs.
You
can
start
to
see
just
how
many
of
these
things
are
gonna
be
air-dropped,
so
so.
A
Brock
peers,
he
was
a
former
partner
with
us
and
now
he's
kind
of
committing
himself
towards
growing
the
community.
He
kind
of
separated
himself
from
block
dot
one,
but
he
was
one
of
the
original
strategic
partners
and
he's
been
quoted,
saying
that
there's
going
to
be
at
least
a
thousand
apps
that
launched
on
the
ES
blockchain
this
year
alone,
yeah
and
it'll
be.
B
Interesting
to
see
the
weather
that
comes
to
fruition
or
not
I
think
it's
definitely
possible.
I
think
it.
It
largely
depends
on
whether
or
not
they
get
the
multi-threaded
version
which,
for
those
who
aren't
super
tech,
savvy
that
the
multi-threaded
version
basically
allows
this
to
scale
even
further
than
it
will
at
launch
in
June.
But
I
think
we
should
dive
into
some
of
these
actual
specific
VC
partnerships.
A
B
He's
a
big
name
in
the
space
and
Derek
Rendell
is,
is
one
of
those
famous
fund
managers
as
well,
and
they
actually
put
up
50
million
dollars
along
with
block
1,
to
fund
Yost
apps,
and
it's
unclear
with
all
of
these.
What
percentage
of
that
that
50
million
you
know
comes
from
tomorrow,
BC
and
what
percentage
of
it
comes
from
block
one
but
block
1
has
said
that
they're
gonna
leverage
that
billion
dollars
they're
putting
up
to
basically
get
more
capital
into
the
space,
so
I
would
imagine.
B
A
That
was
the
first
one
that
was
actually
announced
at
the
South
Korea
meetup
that
we
just
earlier
that
happened
in
January
and
the
second
big
VC
announcement,
which
was
the
largest
commitment
of
funds.
I,
guess
the
backtrack
a
little
bit
tomorrow,
BC
was
committed.
Fifty
million
dollars
in
development
funds,
but
the
biggest
one
announced
to
date
was
actually
for
a
fund
called
galaxy
digital
and
it's
run
by
a
man
by
the
name
of
Mike
Novogratz
I'll.
A
B
No
regrets,
as
somebody
who
was
you
know,
pretty
big
on
Wall
Street,
cutting
a
traditional
financial
guy
and
is
most
famously
known
in
the
crypto
space
now
for
buying
roughly
a
million
ether
when
they
were
a
dollar.
So
shortly
after
the
IC
o----,
where
you
know,
ether
was
sold
for
about
30
cents.
He
came
in
and
bought
a
million
of
these
things
at
$1
and
famously
made
half
a
billion
to
a
billion
dollars
on
that
purchase.
B
So
seeing
Novogratz
on
CNBC
a
few
months
after
the
eos
IC
have
started
name-dropping
a
us
at
the
end
of
one
of
his
sentences.
I
was
in
oh
wait,
a
minute
he's
definitely
in
on
this
in
some
capacity
and
then
a
few
months
later,
seeing
him
announce
this
VC
fund
alongside
us,
VC
made
a
ton
of
sense,
so
it's
very
cool
to
see
him.
Somebody
who
really
called
a
furia
man
and
saw
aetherium
as
the
innovative
platform
that
it
was
that
brought
you
know
decentralized,
smart
contracts
to
the
space
and
a
lot
of
other
technology.
B
He
saw
that
ahead
of
time
now
he's
somebody
who's.
Now,
looking
at
a
OS
and
going
oh
wow,
there's
a
ton
of
potential
here
and
enough
potential
for
him
to
dedicate
up
to
three
hundred
twenty-five
million
dollars
to
this
VC
fund,
alongside
block
one
so
super
excited
to
see
what
they
actually
fund
but
like
Paul
mentioned
earlier
ever.
A
PDA
is
the
first
DAP
that
that
they're
funding
about
30
million,
so
they
still
have
two
hundred
ninety
five
million
dollars
left
in
that
fund
to
dedicate
to
other
euro
snaps.
The.
A
Third
VC
and
the
most
recent
VC
that
was
announced
is
a
company
called
fin
lab
AG
and
they
were
actually
committed.
A
hundred
million
dollars
of
development
funds
now
fin
lab
AG
they're,
a
German
company
and
they're,
publicly
traded,
actually
and
they're
big
investors
and
builders
in
the
fin
tech
sector
in
Europe.
What's
so
interesting,.
B
B
Branch
over
to
Europe
is
very
exciting
and
it
kind
of
leads
me
to
believe
or
I
guess
personally
speculate
that
the
announcement
that
they
make
in
Hong
Kong
on
April
6
may
actually
be
a
Hong
kong-based
or
a
Korean
based
VC
fund.
That's
then
gonna
target
projects
that
are
built
out
in
the
East
versus
out
in
the
West.
No.
A
I
guess
a
little
bit
about
why
we
think
this
is
a
big
deal.
You
think
about
the
traditional
I
SEOs
and
there's
a
lot
of
scams
out
there,
yeah
you're
expected
as
a
retail
investor,
to
weed
out
all
of
these
scams
and
try
to
determine
which
ones
are
good,
which
ones
are
bad,
which
ones
might
make
it,
which
ones
are
gonna
dump
all
of
that
stuff
and
as
a
retail
investor
working
on
the
Internet.
How
are
you
supposed
to
find
out
all
of
that
stuff
now
with
a
VC
fund?
A
Vc
funds
are
there's
nothing
new
about
them
in
the
blockchain
space
and
there's
some
major
ones,
just
just
naming
a
few
pantera
capital,
blockchain
capital,
poly
chain,
capital,
digital
currency
group.
Those
are
all
huge,
huge
VC
funds
who
are
already
invested
in
all
of
the
best
projects.
0X
augur
brave
civic,
enigma,
o
mais
go
Ripple
they're
invested
in
all
of
these
companies
already
because
they
have
the
boots
on
the
ground.
A
B
You
can
imagine
from
you
know
the
the
token
holders
perspective
rather
than
having
to
buy
a
US,
and
then
you
know
say
hey
what
percentage
of
my
eos
do.
I
want
to
dedicate
to
this
IC
o----
or
this
IC
o----
and
kind
of
figure
out.
You
know
where
I
want
to
put
my
eos.
Instead,
all
I
have
to
do
is
hold
my
EOS,
and
all
of
these
VCS
are
gonna.
Here
drop
me
tokens
from
all
of
these
platforms
for
free.
So
it's
pretty
insane
yeah.
A
So
you
think
of
yourself
as
a
savvy,
III,
Co
researcher,
and
you
probably
use
sites
like
ours
to
figure
out
which
IC
o----
is,
you
should
invest
in
which
ones
are
good,
which
ones
are
bad,
but
with
the
es
platform,
it's
actually
gonna.
Take
that
model
and
flip
it
over
on
its
head,
because
you
get
all
of
the
best
ICO
tokens
just
by
holding
it
yeah.
B
B
But
then
what
you
get
with
a
situation
like
this,
because
people
are
then
buying
the
tokens
for
say
a
10
X
20
X,
30
X
in
some
cases,
with
the
recent
Definity
scandal
buying
them
at
a
200
X
premium
in
the
ICO
versus
what
they
gave
to
their
friends
and
family
and
the
the
initial
you
know.
Vc
investors
what's
happening.
That
is
that,
as
soon
as
these
things
hit
exchanges,
when
they
actually
launch
an
IC
o----,
those
tokens
are
getting
dumped
because
they
already
made
their
hundred
X
or
200
X
profit.
B
A
This
adds
incredible
value
to
being
a
token
holder,
because
we
have,
we
have
been
discussed
with
with
our
audience
about
the
value
that
the
and
utility
that
the
token
actually
brings
once
the
yes
platform
actually
launches.
The
token
is,
is
going
to
give
you
a
decentralized
storage
and
decentralized
bandwidth,
so
you
could
essentially
launch
a
web
app
launch
a
web
site
launch
a
equivalent
of
a
web
server
on
the
ES
blockchain.
A
B
And
I
think
we're
probably
gonna
go
into.
You
know
more
detail
on
sort
of
the
different
utilities
of
the
eos
token
in
another
episode
and
really
do
a
deep
dive.
There
talk
more
about
the
block
producers
talk
about
some
of
the
block
producers
that
have
announced,
but
going
back
to
a
lot
of
these
VCS.
It's
gonna
be
very,
very
interesting
to
see
where
they
allocate
the
rest
of
this
billion
dollars.
A
That
lose
over
a
half
billion
more
dollars
to
be
allocated
to
development
and
if
you're,
a
developer
and
you're
listening
to
this-
and
you
thinking
I
really
wish
I
could
develop
on
blockchain.
How
do
I
get
involved
in
blockchain
development
yeah?
The
answer
is
probably
going
to
be
yes,
yeah.
Absolutely.
B
I
mean
you
can
even
beyond
that.
A
lot
of
this
money
has
been
allocated
to
VCS,
but
only
one
project
so
far
has
been
funded
and
that's
ever
pedia.
The
decentralized
Wikipedia
that
Larry
Sanger,
the
co-founder
Wikipedia,
actually
left
his
job
at
Wikipedia
to
come.
Come
help
build
so
only
30
million
out
of
that
billion
has
been
allocated.
So
there's
still,
970
million
left.
That's
gonna
go
to
other
Yoast
apps
that
are
then
gonna
airdrop
their
tokens
for
free
to
us
token
holders.
B
So,
as
you
can
imagine,
with
everything
we
lined
out,
it
looks
very,
very
promising
for
us
we're
obviously
super
biased.
Now
we
do
hold
a
o.
So
that's
our
disclaimer.
We
hold
these
tokens,
we're
not
having
investment
advice,
we're
just
kind
of
giving
our
opinion
on
this
this
software
and
why
we
think
it's
so
awesome,
but
please
do
your
own
research.
B
So
there's
been
a
handful
of
daps
that
have
already
announced
that
are
not
getting
VC
funding
that
are
just
kind
of
building
on
their
own
either
going
the
traditional
ICO
route
or
building
software.
That
they're
then
going
to
airdrop
for
free
without
funding,
but
we're
gonna
do
a
deep
dive
at
some
point
into
every
pedia
talk
about
why
we
think
it's
so
cool
the
problems
that
it
solves
with
Wikipedia
and
more
so
stay
tuned
for
next
week
when
we
cover
all
of
that
and
any
other
news,
that's
happening
in
the
US
space.
All.
A
Right
so
there's
actually
a
website
already
out
vos
index,
IO
and
Neos
index.
What
they
do
is
they
just
are
pretty
much
a
directory
of
all
of
the
depths
that
have
already
announced
and
they
already
have
62
years
projects.
Oh
wow,
yeah,
62,
so
there's
there's.
Some
of
them
are
major
projects
that
everyone's
heard
of,
but
then
there's
a
lot
of
lesser-known
ones.
Also,
and
we're
looking
forward
to
talking
to
you
guys
about
all
all
the
ones
we're
most
excited
about.
A
Like
Rob
said
ever,
a
PDA
is
the
one
we're
both
most
excited
about,
Rob's
already
contributing
to
their
their
crowdsourcing
of
their
content.
He's
been
providing
a
lot
of
content
for
them
for
different
gaming
and
blockchain
industry
stuff,
but
other
personal
interests
of
Rob.
It's
like
you
can
contribute
it's
a
world
encyclopedia.
