Hi guys, welcome to our blog!
Every Monday, we post an update on our activities and progress on achieving our mission.
For this week, we wanted to provide some updates on Amalgam, Critique Reward, Blockchain in the Music Industry, Project Ideation, and scheduling a Meetup.

Amalgam
The first issue of Amalgam is expected to be ready for public distribution on October 23rd.
The first issue is going to cover 1) bitcoin centralizing agents; 2) Twitter v. Mastodon; 3) stablecoin overview; 4) decred; 5) the rise of electric scooters; and possibly 6) updates on Ledgerback.
If you would like to submit your own article or contribute to one of the above topics, send us an email at [email protected].
Critique Reward
The Critique Reward is ongoing! Submit your best critiques of the Newcomer Kit and/or the Blockchain and Music Review article for the chance to win $50.00 WORTH OF ETH!!!
Blockchain and Music Review & Newcomer Kit
We plan to finish editing both of our articles once the Available for Public Comment (APC) period is over.
Also, what do you think about "Blockchain: Unchaining Musicians from Intermediaries" as the title of the article?
Project Ideation
As we mentioned in one of our previous posts, we have three project ideas: 1) community wireless mesh network, 2) decentralized social network, and 3) decentralized autonomous cooperative association.
All three ideas are currently in the ideation phase and we are steadily making progress to advance them to the proposal phase.
Currently, we find the first and third ideas the most promising, simply based on the amount of feedback we have received from others and our members own expertise on the subjects.
We will keep you updated as we make progress on our three ideas.
Meetup
We are examining if we can schedule a meetup in the next 2–3 months.
If so, we expect to cover some of the major events and predictions in the past year and discuss our research. Primarily, we expect to cover: 1) our research; 2) stablecoins; 3) institutional investors; 4) mainstream adoption; 5) Ethereum hard fork; and 6) other blockchain use-cases.
What Do You Think?
- What do you think is the potential for oracle networks to grow in the blockchain ecosystem?

- It will be 10 years since the release of the Bitcoin whitepaper come this November and its been an unbelievable ride since then, what do you think is in store for the next 10 years?
- There are many dead coins out there, what do you think is best way to deal with dead coins?
- If we ultimately determine we should move away from Proof-of-Work (PoW), what consenus algorithm do you think we should move to? Should we keep consenus algorithms use-case specific?
