I'm a software developer interested in how the web does and doesn't work as an archive.
There are no people in edsu’s collective.

One of the key issues with blockchain networks is the lack of interoperability. In the early days of Bitcoin, blockchain interoperability was far from people's minds. However, as new networks continued to emerge and gain traction, the ability to move assets freely from one blockchain to another has become a critical feature.
We're joined by Jae Kwon, CEO and Founder of Tendermint, the team which is launching the Cosmos Network. Cosmos aims to build the internet of blockchains: A global network of blockchains, connected through hubs that allow trustless token transfer. Jae joined us to discuss the Cosmos vision, the underlying Tendermint consensus algorithm and upcoming fundraiser.
Topics discussed in this episode: - What Cosmos is and the problems it hopes to solve - How Tendermint and Ethereum relate to Cosmos - How Cosmos differs from other attemps to solve blockchain interoperability - Cosmos' consensus algorithm, BFT-PoS - The role of Hubs and Zones in the Cosmos Network - Cosmos' native asset, Atom, and its role in creating liquidity for inter-blockchain exchange - How validator nodes will be chosen - Governance in the Cosmos Network - Applications for Cosmos - The Atom fundraiser and Cosmos' pr…

You know how we say “Black Twitter,” “Legal Twitter,” “Academic Twitter,” or “Soccer Twitter”? What if those were real and distinct communities? What if there was a smaller “[Whatever You’re Into] Twitter” free of ads, SPAM, and corporate ownership by Meta and Elon Musk? That’s Darius Kazemi’s vision.
Darius is a computer programmer and digital artist. He is also an outspoken critic of corporate social media companies and the creator of Friend.Camp, a decentralized social media network he built and moderates. He’s an evangelist for these kinds of communities, networks run by groups with shared interests, shared values, and diligently moderated by members of the community. He joined us to talk about how people can build these sort of communities. He’s even written a guide on how to do so. Give this a listen and see how you can Run Your Own Social.

PUBLIC LECTURES | A FUTURE OF INTERNETS From Energy Literacy to Fossil-Free Imaginaries Thursday 10/3 | 7 – 10 PM CEST Lecture programme
As a kick-off of FIBER’s Reassemble Lab ‘Natural Intelligence’, this public programme will invite artists, technologists, researchers and policy makers to reflect upon the possibilities of a fossil-free internet based on ecological ethics and regenerative principles.
The immense possibilities of today’s internet services, data centres, artificial intelligence and rendered computer graphics have been made possible by a large supply of cheap energy sources: fossil fuels. The promises of yet another generation of artificial intelligence and the rise of the metaverse and NFT’s are unthinkable without the endless extraction and flow of fossil energy. Many are already talking about ‘data warming‘ as one of the strongly growing drivers of global warming.
This event present makers and thinkers who explore alternative networks and work on desirable internet futures. Join us to get to know them.
PROGRAMME 19:00 – Introduction | Jarl Schulp, Katía Truijen, Abdelrahman (Abdo) Hassan, Mick Jongeling 19:15 – Energy Literacy | Talk Marloes de Valk 19:35 – Fossil-Free Imaginaries | Talk Michelle Thorne 19:55 – Response + Q&A with Shayna Robinson & Abdelrahman (Abdo) Hassan 20…

There are many components of trust throughout the internet, and most people don’t realize how far those layers of trust go back. The Trust Revolution looked backward to the internet’s early days and the development of the Network Time Protocol (NTP), invented by guest Dr. David Mills. Dr. Mills, a c…
