The Ether Review #21 - Roman Mandeleil, Ethereum Full Transparency Mar 31, 2016

Show notes

Ethereum Full Transparency is a feature that has recently been added to the live.ether.camp blockchain explorer. It now allows the user to explore the operations of a smart contract in both interpreted and raw form. It's the most interesting exposition of the inner workings of Ethereum to date and definitely something everyone should take a look at. @mandeleil @arthurfalls live.ether.camp ethchamps.org etherreview.org

The Ether Review #19 - Arcade City Mar 17, 2016

Show notes

Christopher David, founder of the transportation network Arcade City came on the show today to discuss the project. Arcade City aims ultimately to be owned by the drivers themselves using a suite of technologies built on our favorite platform. It was interesting to hear the complaints many drivers had about incumbent Uber and how this has turned into grass roots support for Arcade City. It’s also interesting to see a single use case employ so many technologies. It’s a taste of things to come, I’ll let Chris give you the details Content: Cristopher David, @arthurfalls https://arcade.city/ etherreview.info @etherreview contact@etherreview.info

The Ether Review #18 - DevUpdate, Digix DAO Crowdsale Mar 10, 2016

Show notes

Taylor Gerring brings us an Ethereum Development update. Then we’re taking another look at Digix, a gold backed token issuance and exchange platform. The platform featured in episode 8 but given their crowdsale begins on the first of next month and their DAO goes live on the first of the following I figured it was worth revisiting. I’m a big fan of what Kai, Anthony and Shaun have done here. It’s no frills recombinant innovation. Robust and uncomplex. For a critical view of their methodology check out episode 16 with Dominic Williams.

The Ether Review #16 - Dominic Williams, Synthetic Assets Feb 16, 2016

Show notes

Today we have one of my favourite thinkers in the cryptocurrency space. Dominic Williams featured briefly in the last episode of Beyond Bitcoin discussing Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus processes. Today we talk about Synthetic Assets: Colored Coins, Dynamically Collateralized Coins, Hedged Dao Assets, and Smart Market Instruments. This is really significant stuff and this conversation significantly deepened my understanding of the challenges of creating value pegged tokens. It’s a very technical one and Dominic moves super fast so get ready for some super dense content. @dominic_w http://dfinity.io/ http://string.technology/ @arthurfalls @etherreview Content: Dominic Williams, Arthur Falls Production and Editing: Arthur Falls

The Ether Review #14 - Juan Benet, IPFS Feb 04, 2016

Show notes

Juan Bennet is the founder and CEO of Protocol Labs. The chief project under development over there is IPFS or the Interplanetary Storage Network. I keep hearing IPFS mentioned in the same sentence as Ethereum so I thought I’d ask Juan what the deal was.
