The question has been also on our mind. We restructure now towards a https://steward-ownership.com/ company structure (in CH). The hard challenge will be fundraising - so we are actually considering selling "Partizipationsscheine" which are stocks without a vote, but still a dividend. On a open market (maybe through polygon / base coins). I just wonder how to resolve the initial funding question on those companies. Any ideas?

This is funny, when you think about that our demographic (people with multiple tech devices, in need of a smaller phone, able to pay more for it, etc.) should match perfectly with everyone who works internally at apple on the phones. They must have frequent discussions on this, that get agressively silenced - to keep the focus on the bigger phones :o)

I’ve been thinking about confidential data sharing in the food supply chain. Imagine using Solid pods as user-owned vaults for provenance docs and contracts under WAC, paired with Matrix’s federated E2EE messaging (via Solid WebID-OIDC SSO) and archiving chats/attachments back into your pod—yielding a fully decentralized, data-sovereign collaboration.

I wonder if this would work

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched a probe into Ethereum to determine whether the largest altcoin is a security, Fortune reported.

The SEC sent subpoenas to companies seeking documents and financial records relating to their dealings with the Ethereum Foundation, the story said, citing companies that have received SEC subpoenas.

I would even argue, that it is depending on the context (on how you feel) that makes you introvert or extrovert in the situation. Not just a vector. I found it funny doing some tests, but once with the mindset of being a CEO, and in the other situation on the dancefloor, etc.

I love popcorn. And this might be arrogant. As I might come around like the extremist (that I am). But I am reading here between the lines, that even with popcorn, there is a lot that could be done better for the environment: - gas is not renewable. I hope we can get away from that - once popping starts you turn of the stove, does this mean you have fairly solid pans that keep the heat long? I don't think that is sustainable either - You put butter in the popcorn? Well that is also not sustainable either. - Then you add Parmesan, well that makes it even worse. - You use a paper towel, that you toss away

Why do we just happen to glance over those issues so easily?

I do receive youtube's request to purchase premium about each time I go on the site (I am not logged in, use privacy protection) for years now. I am so pissed off by their aggressive marketing and with every click to get away with the banner my decision becomes more solid. I will never be able to pay for it.

I worked with Matthew Cook at ETH Zürich after he left wolfram for that reason. Cooks proof of the Turing completeness of the 110 rule [1] is in my opinion the only interesting piece in the new kind of science book. The dispute emerged from wolfram handling this not with science in mind, but capitalism. Putting an NDA on the publication of cook, to frame himself as the source.

Et Tu, Signal? 5 years ago

No, but: https://democracy.earth uses a couple of systems to connect to it (https://fortmatic.com,https://www.portis.io, https://walletconnect.org) - I don't know why they ditched https://metamask.io.

Overall the adoption of these systems is too difficult. Something that could be overcome with signal/mobilecoin.

Democracy earth is just an example application. Overall I would appreciate to own my data and have it secure (like signal provides), when it comes to the whole ecosystem of the future for: social media, voting, contracts, etc.

Are there any considerations using signal as an identity verification platform for other services?

I feel you. But I don’t things have to be looked at so narrow. There are hardly any people on this planet that have your opportunity to fix things for the better. There are enough challenges to put your heart into and find fresh energy if you start looking. You just need to fall in love again with something that you really consider worthwhile your time. I am sure there will be something.
