SAFE Crossroads #18 SAFE Network School, Class One
September 30th, 2015 by
John Ferguson In this Episode
We're happy to announce the opening of the Simpleton's School of the SAFE Network.
Since the SAFE Network is being built on a very different combination of fundamentals than has ever been used before and because it is so intricate, it's not possible to just wade in and get a full picture of it without some work.

EB96 – John Clippinger: Developing A Social Ecosystem Of Trusted, Self-Healing Digital Institutions
September 14th, 2015 by Epicenter It is often said that technology is neutral. It’s certainly commonplace for Bitcoin to be thought of as such.

At least, this is the opinion of our guest, John Clippinger. A research scientist at MIT Media Lab and CEO of ID3, a nonprofit which aims to deploy a new generation of trusted digital institutions, John has spent the last seven...
