The Bitcoin Game #33: Hacker J. Maurice
February 5th, 2016 by
Rob Hello, welcome to episode 33 of The Bitcoin Game. I'm Rob Mitchell.
J. Maurice is everything you’d expect in a crypto-anarchist hacker. When I had lunch with him before our interview, Maurice kept his phone powered off and explained he wouldn’t use a credit card, except maybe to pay for already-tracked air travel. After our meal, he used his Trezor to sign a Bitcoin payment on his laptop, via the cafe's W...

Tokens and Open Source Hardware Manufacturing, Distribution and Sales
January 26th, 2016 by Adam B. Levine Open Source Hardware is a popular and growing movement.

The Raspberry Pi project is a perfect example of this with two official stocking manufacturers who share back some of their revenue in compensation for their official status. This money supports further development. By adding three types of tokens to the ecosystem, what is a game for only the biggest of players can become a vibrant environment of efficient, decentralized and distributed reselling. Now distribution can start to take place.
