and we're live okay hello crypto fellow travelers this is charles hoskinson broadcasting live from warm sunny colorado always warm always sunny sometimes colorado good to see ya i decided to mix things up a little bit schedule one in advance as opposed to doing it impromptu and decided also do it with a nice background i like being outside in the kind of the commons area of the office from time to time hope everybody can hear me all right i hope everybody can see me okay it's been a long month already and it's only the seventh sunday uh i often work five six days a week more than 12 hours 14 hours a day but the last few months in particular have been quite difficult because there's just so many things that are moving on i as many of you know alonzo is approaching and alonzo is the big one you know there was shelley was a big one as well that was the defining characteristic of 2020 and the defining release of 2021 will be alonso principally because this is the first time in the project history where we have full programmability so suddenly you go from a collection of preset behaviors and activities which although are quite useful i mean multi-asset come on that's nice to metadata and these types of things now we're moving to a situation where you have full smart contracts holy moly and we termed the smart contract strategy for cardano is the audio on everybody can hear me believe so hope so okay so we termed the smart contract strategy for cardano to be uh the ocean the island and the pond and basically the concept there is that the pond is everything ethereum did the island is what we'd like to accomplish with plutus and marlow and these domain-specific languages we've been constructing and the island and the ocean excuse me the island is all that stuff and the ocean is all of the programming languages the totality of development there's over 20 million people write code for living across the world the vast majority of them do not write smart contract code so it'd be nice to open up the world to them and bring them in so when we started cardona a long long time ago it was a big interest of ours to find a strategy a path where we could cover the things that we felt felt were necessary for fortune 500 companies and high assurance scenarios be backward compatible but then at the same time also be able to support bring new people in like javascript developers and java developers and c-sharp developers and so forth because they are the majority of the world we have made massive progress on that and alonso is really where that wakes up it brings pollutus and marlow's support to the system and it puts us in a position where it's quite straightforward for us to roll out the devnets and get them wired onto cardano and uh basically be in a beautiful position where you can write ethereum code so give you a byte code or solidity use that whole development ecosystem just move over and it's better faster cheaper you'll be able to write code in the languages you want to and you'll be able to write code in the new paradigm the pollutus paradigm and enjoy that along with native multi asset and all these other cool features and functionality so it's uh it's been a long road and these next few months are pivotal ones so towards the end of the month we're probably going to announce the plutus pioneers program and uh what that's about is basically identifying developers in our community who want to go through some special hands uh hands-on training to learn how to write pollutus code and really get excited about it so likely it'll be a four to six week program uh for people who are selected it'll run throughout april and a little bit into may uh and lars will teach it and it'll be very intensive and our hope is to train up 500 to 1000 community members and get them fired up for learning how to run pollutants code marlo code and becoming kind of domain experts in the things that we do so we'll at the cardinal 360 episode at the end of the month announced that along with all the details and how to sign up if you're interested and how to apply uh lars is very very smart uh and very fun to work with but he is a german mathematician so it's going to be quite rigorous so beware and good luck on the challenge in that respect you know there's also a lot of cool things we're going to announce with alpha frontier i'm going to reshoot the ocean the island in the pawn video i call it the part 2 where i kind of add in the missing pieces and we'll also talk around the acidic concept and that stands for developer acquisition collaboration incentives application deployment application interaction and application curation so both how do we get it out there and get people playing with it to the how do we get it built and how do we get it paid for type of deal inside developers so all that's going to be discussed in detail this month and a lot of other cool things now the subject of birds many of you like birds and birds and birds and birds there are definitely a lot of birds in the air and some of the ones that i wanted to land in february have gotten some headwinds and obviously we're here in march and we're still waiting for them and therein lies the frustration of when you large run a large project with many agents and actors sometimes things happen that uh slow things down and it is what it is over the long term they don't particularly matter you know when the iphone came out didn't have 3g or an app store do you remember it that way no and did it matter no so patience does matter and sometimes things take a little bit longer and i used to get deeply frustrated and angry about it and i said why did you lie to me or why did this happen or you know you promised that this date or this was signed why are we now going back here but you know it doesn't matter if it takes an extra week or an extra month or something like that what matters is the progress that's made and the momentum is in one particular direction so i fully expect the things that we expected in february to be in march and if not march and april but i think we have a good shot for march so be a little bit more patient and if you're not okay why are you on crypto takes a long time to change the world uh and we're not going to change it day by day month by month and i could not care less if you're in it for the money if you are this isn't your ama and this isn't your guy go talk to somebody else all the things we do we do systematically methodically and we deal with a lot of soul and heart and we care a lot we wear our passion on our sleeves you know that's who we are as a community uh and the other thing the defining characteristic about this community is that there are kind of it's not a democrat or republican or a left wing and a right wing or a conservative and liberal type of view it's freedom versus authoritarianism one of the things that unifies many of the core people in our ecosystem is the fact that we do recognize the world left to its own devices there will be people floating around who think that they should run your life and be in charge of it from cradle to grave for your good and for the good of society the point of cryptocurrencies and the point of blockchain technology is saying maybe that's a bad philosophy and every time we try to do it it doesn't work out so well for any of us so let's stop doing that where and when we can that is really if i could say the philosophical core what i started and where we're at as an ecosystem i think the most important point the most important thing and as i look to legacy and i look to well where are we going over the next five years we have been working harder than ever at trying to build a real blockchain government we're not all crypto anarchists here in fact i think that philosophy is a road to nowhere because we've seen it with bitcoin we're actively working on the dcf we're working with a major consultancy on it we're trying to put a coalition of more than 30 companies together i'm in negotiations to set up 10 research labs i think probably on my side this year we'll spend an additional 30 million dollars of r d money and of course when the time comes to announce that and who are the partners and the agenda and so forth that's just on our side the iog side and when you look at what we can do with you and catalyst and where this can go i imagine there's going to be great amplification there so we're super excited about that but what this is really all about in terms of legacy and these things is a complete fundamental change of people's relationship with the services that run their lives all the things in your life the credit cards in your pocket the identity in your pocket the driver's license the passport all of these things these things are given to you by social structures conventions and contracts you probably did not negotiate had nothing to do with did you decide the credit score that dominates your life did you decide who gets an identity and who doesn't get an identity who gets a passport who doesn't get a passport whose passport gets revoked did you decide how the banking system works no but you're a victim of it or beneficiary of it or both the point of crypto is for the first time in your lives you actually get to opt into something you decided and agreed to a new social contract that's not about money it's about how you live and it's about the quality of the money you know one too long ago that the minimum wage in the united states was six silver quarters six silver quarters about a dollar fifty the meltdown value of those quarters is about fifteen dollars went from a dollar fifty to fifteen dollars we're talking about a higher minimum wage why because the money's lost its value for not fault of your own not my fault but from the people at the top and they continue printing trillions and trillions of dollars they continue following policies that are so devastating and damaging to society and they don't care i like peace i like living in a country that gets along with everybody now my country is bombing syria again i guess that's a good idea according to the people in charge another war in the middle east we're here again i'd like to believe that a legacy can be that we build a system that doesn't do this to people that build sound money that promotes peace and understanding and goodwill amongst all people but to get there we have to build a government that's better than the one we inherited better social contracts and we have to work on ourselves we have to be worthy of self governance we have to have a long time horizon we have to think deep we have to look deep into the future you know i was recently interviewed and i said one of the economic solutions to the myopia that we all face is that we incentivize the wrong things as a society i said why don't we take a step back and instead of having a single currency why don't we have two currencies today money and money 21.40 how about that so you earn today money just like you earn today money go to your job do your work okay great and let's say that you can buy most things with today money like food and water and so forth but let's say you want to get a car or let's say that you want to get a house or something let's say those have to be priced and not in today money but in 2140 money and how do you earn that let's imagine there's a copy of yourself who doesn't live today but lives in 2140 and the only way that you can make 2140 money the money of the future is by making that person's life better a person you'll never meet and you'll be long dead by the time they're born so what does that mean you have to think about what the world needs to look like in 2150 and how to make that world better and imagine a marketplace forming around for that we'd have a lot of environmental policy we care a lot about sustainability because we can't burn out the world by the time he gets to 2140 would be a dystopia we'd care a lot about the future and why because we're self-motivated and we'd like to spend 2140 money that's the point of liberating yourself from the social structures and institutions and thinking patterns of the past and the point of our entire industry it's not to venerate a leader it's not to believe that some person up on the mountaintop will deliver you and make you rich and make your life wonderful the future is hard it's ill-defined it's filled with demagogues and tyrants and extremists and people sue saying you solutions and the reality is that the future only gets better if each and every one of us takes some custodial care and cleans it up together and thinks to 2140 and how do we make life better for that copy of ourself that lives in the distant future the point of cryptocurrencies in blockchain is for the first time in human history this is not an academic exercise and it's not one that requires permission we're just going to go do it so the coming weeks and months are going to be pretty crazy alonzo is going to be a lot of fun there are a lot of announcements in the queue and then we'll get to them when the time comes and sometimes they take a little later but they're no less meaningful and in the meantime there's a lot of fun things we get to do together for example these amas and i get to your questions second we have our interview series and i just started it the people of iog where we had dr m and i will be interviewing duncan cootes and phil wadler and dan friedman and many other people within my company and tamara hassan is going to start interviewing people as well because if it i was doing about a rate of one a week it would take me six years to get through the existing set of people so we need a tag team and we need to get some volume there i'd like you to know each and every person who works with me and for me they're amazing and they deserve their time the spotlight too and of course i'd like to interact with all of you so as this is an ama let us get to your questions huh are you a real channel or a scammer so how do you tell the difference between a real channel and scammer is pretty simple uh the scammer channels take my video and try to convince you to send ada if i'm asking you for ada it's a scammer channel if i'm not it's probably real ugh how's freyja very big still pees on the rug are you working with gavin wood he reached out to us and we're still trying to figure out what would make sense but i'd love to do something with polka dot i think that'd be a lot of fun it's a good community good ecosystem great engineers and as i said before i think polkadot is what ethereum 2 should have been did nick sabo reply no and it's a shame he didn't but you know that's his prerogative as i said nick is a crypto og and he can just do whatever the heck he wants to do and i'll always take him seriously and always have time for him remember where you came from and it is important that you honor those people charles will you ever work with haiti you know we are looking at carob id and other programs so it'd be a lot of fun to do that can you give me more insight about the talk in africa well there are many things going on in africa the particular thing that we're waiting for happens to be in the country of ethiopia uh and it was done until it wasn't done and it's currently up for an independent review of a board of three people and they're looking at it they're going through it and reviewing every single document for the seventh time i don't know why but it is what it is and unfortunately that's just how people do business in these types of places it's an inconvenience at the moment and it's a delay at the moment and wasn't anticipated by either parties what happens is that you have corruption and then anti-corruption comes in but the problem with anti-corruption is there are times that it can be overdone and so a lot of bureaucracy gets added into the tendering process and oversight gets at an end which doesn't actually prevent anything but it massively slows down things and it creates a lot of unnecessary bureaucratic friction so what you do is you just smile and you keep working your way through it and that's what we've been doing for now three and a half months uh and uh it looks like there's a light at the end of the tunnel and i think that things are going to be okay you know um i was given many assurances that we were at the end of the tunnel in february many written assurances uh by our counterparty and it didn't happen so we're in march you know you have to learn how to have patience there's an old term for doing business in africa it's called africa time and that means things get done on their own time you know but it's a deal that changed the lives of millions of people and i understand why it's taking its fair share because it's transformative it's not just a one and done type of thing and say oh that's nice this is something that can grow to the entire country at some point and that's why we take it so seriously and they take it seriously and you know we're still acting in good faith uh we're still building infrastructure putting out lots of jobs i think it's going to create over 30 jobs in the jurisdiction and we'll see what happens and it's going to be fun to announce it when it's finally there and it goes through that independent tender well this is a good one what will be the good consequences of cardano in africa so cardano in africa really what that's all about is this concept of people being self-sovereign and being control of their own economic identity you know i'm not a big fan of regressive policies like capital controls or the government having unilateral authority over the information that goes to its people or making arbitrary decisions about who gets to make money and who doesn't get to make money these are leftover policies of totalitarianism and dictatorships and communism from the 20th century and they are of course pervasive in eastern europe and places in africa in asia and unfortunately even in the united states people try to install this in certain places and it can even be in your county i live in boulder county uh getting building permits for my own farm there is at times kafkaesque takes two years to build anything two years on a farm right at the edge of the county in the middle of nowhere why i don't know just is what it is bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy even when you're trying to do things they say you they want you to do like for example build a solar system i'm putting a 250 kilowatt solar array in uh i thought we're all supposed to be environmentally friendly and anti-global warming and sustainable right so you figure that that should be a relatively straightforward process what a commercial installer who's installed megawatts and has a good rapport applies for it no no it's going to take nine months to clear the bureaucracy just for that even when there's a state mandate to make it fast so the point is that bad governments can destroy people's lives they can either annoy them and be inconveniences all the way up to destroying your ability to do business with people the reason why we are so keen on cryptocurrencies in africa is it's a foundational thing once you've given people identity then you can open up the prospect of reputation trade credit you can then add in payment systems you can then link that identity to property and you could represent value and property very fundamentally different ways than they had been represented before which are fraud free which are immutable which are time stamped and those records are global so even if they're inconvenient to the regime that happens to be in power so that's why we care so much about it and it will take years to decades to see these systems roll out but they are demanded and what does that mean once they're out it means i can send money to anyone in africa for free or near free it means that when they get that money they will have the same level of protection and surety that i have when i put my money in a bank like goldman sachs or chase or wells fargo or whatever but they don't have to worry about it being stolen from them it means if they have to flee they can take their money their property with them it means that their credentials are verifiable it means that i can enter into contracts with them as if they're my next door neighbor even though they're 10 000 miles away and it means that when they want to raise capital for an education to build a business to buy some infrastructure to better themselves the life around them they have access to credit and it means that when they want to protect those things with an insurance policy there's always one available at a reasonable price we take these things for granted living in the developed world but they are not a given for the bottom three billion in the world who are underbanked or unbanked what we have within our hands is a superpower just like norman borland had a superpower being able to teach people how to grow crops correctly and use fertilizer correctly and what that functionally meant was that he could save a billion lives and by propagating this technology throughout africa i believe over the next 50 years we can too and not only save them but make all of their lives significantly better and by the way it's not you know a savior complex it's just good economic sense you go where the puck is going to be not where it is and you say where is the world going to have the highest amount of economic growth and the greatest amount of new billionaires over the next 30 years it's not china that was the last 30 years it's not america that was the 30 years before that it's africa that's where all the economic growth is going to happen and that's where the best and newest systems will be put into place you know we're talking to a major telcro right now about some things in the cryptocurrency space and because they're new to the game they have the most advanced network and they have the least legacy issues it's when you have the opportunity to have a clean slate it means that you often can generate a lot of hindsight wisdom and you could have the best infrastructure and if you have the best wisdom and the best infrastructure the youngest people who are the hungriest and they have access to the same playing field and information they win and if you're along with them when they win you become the world's richest man just that simple so i think it's the best economic opportunity and i think it's a lot of fun and it's a lot more fun even though the tendering processes and other things sometimes take a long long time and there's lots of checks and balances who cares you know you deal with it in crimea river it's a life experience that's once in a lifetime go do it and go have fun with it do you see use for non-native tokens on cardano that is definitely possible and it will be done with the devnets yela and ethereum devnets when you use them you can issue erc20 and basically the market's going to decide between the native multi-asset standard and the legacy erc20 standard you as a developer can use both how can an ai researcher contribute to cardano well it depends on your background and where you're at but it's a good question so tell me a little bit more about yourself and i can steer you in a particular area charles what about endor it was supposed to be a such a great project with so much potential and prediction as a service are you still in contact with them so i joined a senior advisor and i hung out with them for a little bit and i flew out to tel aviv and we did some videos and they called me up and said you know we just can't afford you right now i said that's fine uh so just suspend my contract and when you guys are ready call me back and i'll come back and we'll spend some time i like your product i'd love to see your product on cardano and they never called me back so yaniv is a good guy and i really enjoyed galia and the rest of the team and one of these days maybe i'll get that phone call it's like waiting for guffman just waiting how'd you piss off coinbase i don't know i think it's less about that and more about explosive growth it's a complex company it's uh left hand doesn't quite know what the right hand is doing sometimes and that's what happens when you grow rapidly and you're just about to ipo everything's a mess until about two years after the ipo [Music] would it be possible to create a system without transaction fees uh yes you do it through what are called delegated fees i think vchain does something like that where someone else can pay the transaction fee now in general there's always a transaction fee because there's a resource cost for a transaction someone has to pay that you can either pay it with inflation you can pay it on the producer side or the consumer side but somebody in the value chain has to pay a transaction fee but for certain contexts it makes sense to subsidize transaction fees through some mechanism and that could be inflation or fee delegation and that's something we'd probably explore for cardone 2025 this is a common misconception iota doesn't have fees yeah it does they're just subsidized a different way guys there's network capacity cpu and data they cost money nothing is free and if you have a blockchain or you have some notion of a database you have some transaction ledger someone must store it so if you are issuing transactions those transactions somewhere cost you something now you the sender may not pay that but somewhere in the value chain it has to be paid for or else you have perpetual motion there's a universal conservation of cost and value in the universe you cannot escape it with clever engineering charles i believe you made a typo when you see your fees in the state pulled 10 no i did not so rats r-a-t-s is my stake pool love to see you guys delegate there and i said ahead of time that i'd set it at ten percent and the fund is split between sam leathers and myself uh sam's going to be using it to buy some land and i use it for shenanigans so the more value i make the more income i make with the pool the more shenanigans i will spend on it could be wing suiting it could be walking near naked in antarctica climbing a mountain it can be anything but the amount of value i get the more shenanigans you guys get also it shows that small pools can survive with a higher fee and that people are not going to race to the bottom so if i am successful hopefully others with higher fees can be successful and we can look at this as not a completely economic concern yeah this is an out of their question charles do you think dirt bikes are good for children it depends where children grow up some people my family and related families got their kids dirt bikes as young as seven years old and atvs those little battery powered micro atvs which are death traps at seven years old and it seemed to work out for them but you know there are changing standards in society and there are a lot of helicopter parents who think they should wrap their children and nerf until they turn 20 and then still dominate their lives until they're 35 and then be there at the wedding night you know make sure they get the job done um life is tough kids are tough let them be kids country of georgia news still doing georgia stuff i should have a full country strategy before the end of the month we do the credential system but i'd like to see that grow to a payment system and other such concerns and we'll get that done charles do you do any art or produce music or anything like that i own a game development company i haven't announced the exact name of it and the things that we do yet because i just haven't had the time the other thing is my brother and i are starting a biotech company and my dad will probably join in a bit call and that company is consuming the time that i had allocated for the game development company uh so we do do things like the 3js development for the cardonal front for the ihk web page which will soon be the iog page and we're going to be hiring more web animators so that's webgl and unity work as well as 3js and these types of libraries and i just love that there's also dynamic ui stuff that's really cool so that's what we do on the iohk iog side obviously ux and fx that that types of stuff is going to be huge when i'm making video games but that's a 2022 thing unfortunately i just don't have the time when rogan well joe rogan after gogan and then also after lex friedman so i'm having the lex friedman interview down in austin i'll see if i can have dinner with joe rogan while i'm down there or musk or any of the other folks there's a nice little intellectual dark web in austin texas now uh but we'll try to get it scheduled this year it shouldn't be too hard it's just more of a matter of making sure we have the right funnel because you don't want to go into a show with that kind of a footprint and those many people unless you have the right marketing brand set up any trouble with rhq and the new national security laws in hong kong nope charles where did you get your pink floyd poster as most people do these days online hi charles i want to bring cardona to romania through a haskell pollutus class at the polytechnique university are you interested in this you should reach out to gregory roshu and we can definitely figure something out through him and lars hmm charles will you partner with celsius well i know alex michinski uh he's a great guy we certainly have a lot of fun together uh you know there's gonna be something we eventually do with alex and his guys just the extent is uh it is an interesting one and how to roll that out but that'd be fun he also has the love of amas like i do so anybody who does that i appreciate respect charles getting the scammers on youtube sell the stolen ada and dump the price no they can sell it but it's not gonna dump the price guys there's five billion dollars a day of turnaround whatever these scammers have is not going to affect the price vaccinated no i'm uneligible for vaccine uh i will not be eligible until at least april because of government incompetence likely maybe even may at this current rate uh and i've been asked a lot which vaccine to take having reviewed the data for all five major platforms for me i think the safest is likely the novofax vaccine there's no dna interaction no rna it's just protein in a jar and there's a very good history with that especially for respiratory viruses and other such things and so uh i'll uh probably get the novovax vaccine when available if not the johnson johnson looks pretty interesting and it's a single shot platform so it's one and done and the reactogenicity is quite low so as soon as i get vaccinated i'll let you guys know and then you can say charles is no longer charles anymore and he's gonna die of cancer or now he's a slave of bill gates and prepara i don't really care why would you get the vaccine anyway being healthy well unfortunately no matter if i like to have it or not i have to travel for the nature of my job and it's probably going to be a prerequisite and it's like when i went to africa i got the yellow fever vaccine that's a much worse one to get than these thoughts on harmony one i have not looked at their core technology in a long time but i think they're using something like rapid chain they were also using fountain codes and you know they're really clever things it's actually a very good design what they've rolled out there's still some rough edges but my exact quote was at least if eos had followed harmony one it would have been a novel an interesting project to follow and i stand by that i think there's some interesting stuff there and it's a good team of people behind it uh hmm hmm south africa plans thoughts about v chain i'm a harbor engineer any good book recommendations on d5 well unfortunately i don't have any for you it's too new but if you guys in the audience actually know of a good book that you'd recommend i'm happy to read it review it i wish there was something ethiopian coffee did you guys know that the coffee they drink in ethiopia is not as good as the coffee the export so they have export grade and then the internal coffee and the internal coffee is actually a lower quality standard than the export grade so if you're drinking your 100 ethiopian coffee here in america it tastes better than the coffee you drink right at zimbabwe which is a crazy thing what happened to cardano rust it's still around americo maintains part of it and then the your men gander is the the closest thing we have to it we rolled that team into the catalyst team now i didn't know this same for columbia okay interesting i want to build nfts on cardano okay so we have had several people who want to do nfts reach out to us there's some people internally in my organization that really want to do an nft marketplace and so what i'm going to try to do is play bill clinton you know bring the people i guess i feel your pain and bring them all together so we'll see if we can bring the community members that want to do an nft marketplace and have them partner with my internal resources and build an nft marketplace rapidly i'd like to get it done quickly and attach an external development firm to write a lot of code very quickly and we'll initially do it as a nft native multi asset on cardano and then we'll take the uh centralized on-chain stuff and move as much as we can to uh uh excuse me centralize off-chain stuff and move as much as we can to an on-chain solution as soon as pollutus launches with alonzo so i'll have an update for you guys probably not the next ama or the but the ama after and certainly by the cardona 360 episode at the end of the month um um come on guys give me some good questions here ah we have our resident paint chip eater congratulations kubra you are the winner of today's paint ship of the year award uh you'll be given a whole basket of paint chips to eat and it'll continue helping you with that brain damage you suffer from proof of burn i will never understand the stupidity i will just never understand it ever in the fact that people still ask me after all this time they're just not that bright they must have hit their head on something i don't know artano is actually one that reached out to us for the nft marketplace and i believe we have a meeting with them so i think this upcoming week we're going to talk to them and i'd love to see what they have roll into what we have and maybe we can figure out something progress on cal's three funds the number of voters rise significantly so door will give you guys all those numbers at the end of the month uh it's pretty remarkable to see the progress we're making there there was a snafu i think was heroic voting and that was a configuration issue but uh it'll get solved that's correct data is a palindrome you what is your favorite vintage supercar 80s or older [Music] probably the shelby you know there's uh also the 1955 ford t-bird is pretty amazing are you left-handed yes and that's the hand that spells an l how do you read all these questions i i have a very special friend who broadcasts into my ears all the questions to select we spend nine million dollars a week on this service it's very expensive but it's totally necessary for these amas to work do you take any holistic or nootropic substances to increase cognition well lately i've been trying photobiomodulation that's that weird ass headset with the thing that goes up my nose pretty interesting but uh when i need a little bit of a boost i take alpha brain i also take lions mate who's your favorite guitarist jimi hendrix favorite watchmaker giger lucut and also jacques draw those those gyroterpians are just incredible and i love automaton how would you explain utxo to a five-year-old cash register accounting you have an input and an output change has to match do you believe in god well as einstein used to say the god of spinoza sure do you spend or save more well there's deep saving which are called irrevocable trusts and then you have kind of a slightly less deep saving like 401ks and iras and these types of things and then you have not so spending spending cash so you know estate planning is a big thing and i'm thinking a lot about that lately mostly because i am getting i see an email about functional patterns your ihk i had a studio in california if you're interested in antio this is an interesting one i sent you an email about functional patterns to your ioh email i own a studio in california and if you're interested in anti-aging you have to check it out i definitely will and i'll actually probably refer you michael to my brother william who will be my business partner here as of may in our anti-aging quest nice little side business any specific dates for smart contracts we should have more specifics on a relative range that we think that alonso is going to hit which is the full smart contract support likely at the cardonal 360 at the end of this month i always let the teams announce that charles can you do your skeletor laugh again he-man uh so many comments [Music] eldar or tau neither come on now space marines if i had to pick between the two obviously eldar come on them farseers are sexy what do you think about virtual reality do you have a headset microsoft announced yesterday microsoft mesh we have two hololens twos on the way we're going to try it out if it works then we're going to go ahead and use mesh for our executive meetings and i'll send a hololens headset to each of the executives and then it'll just be like star wars where they had the holographic projections of each other in the chairs so yeah i'm really excited about that that's a term for augmented reality virtual reality is really cool and that technology has evolved enormously we didn't quite get magic leap but i think over the next 10 20 years it's going to get exponentially better the headsets will get lighter they'll be much more powerful and they can do far more it will also have haptic suits that you can put on and feel so yes the ready player one is definitely on its way thoughts on the ford gt do you own one i do not have a ford gt i'm a lamborghini man what's up with singularitynet i will bring ben and his guys on at some point uh maybe crowder 360 in the partners section be fun they're just chipping away doing stuff thundercats or voltron that's like asking which kid do you love more i don't know i mean i love them both but i'll tell you what you could have made a lot easier for me if you said samurai pizza cats or thunder cats or full tron obviously samurai pizza cats oh favorite tarantino movie still the best is pulp fiction charles what's your first destination after covet it depends on when i am allowed to travel again charles have you ever had a near-death experience care to share yes several more than i care to share do you like mayonnaise with french fries no i'm not a weirdo how will quantum computing affect cardano by the time it's a concern we'll have already fixed it we're going to have a full post quantum agenda in the carto 2025 research agenda you guys vote it i don't care about quantum computers anymore favorite fruit star fruit charles have you ever looked into flat earth yes i have been to the eos reddit hi charles it's a good question from jim robbins realistically how far away are simplified wallet addresses are we so jim the key there is getting the identity center into daedalus and this is a great example of where an inpatient ceo just sometimes can't get things seven and done half months ago unified the prism team with the daedalus team we still have not quite gotten where we need to get it is one of the deepest frustrations i have i'd like to see dids integrated into daedalus as soon as humanly possible once you have a did you have a dead document once you have a document you have a name associated with an identity you have cryptographic credentials associated with that name so you can sign a wallet you can hit credit friends wallet they have they can they can sign it and then all of a sudden you now send money to alice you now send money to bob as opposed to a wallet address okay it's like a friends list built right into your wallet it's something i've been wanting for a damn long time we're just backlogged there are over 50 deals that we could do with prism and some that we've actually had to jump the cube because they're such large clients the prism team has more than 30 hr requests 30 requisitions for new people so that team is going to increase by a factor of 130 percent i think from its current standing and that's just that team and then on the dead list team they they're desperate for more people as well so i definitely want that to happen it's actually not hard to do i know exactly how to do it well and put you guys in the driver's seat and then we talk about simplified wallet addresses you're actually talking about uh sending money to a name instead of an address now a way of shortening addresses and i think there is a cip standard i requested to be written for this would be to take the first four digits post prefix and the last four digits and put an ellipsis between them so you'd have the prefix plus eight digits and the ellipsis display uh so that's uh what is it eight plus three for because three characters for the ellipsis that's 11 plus the preset prefix size so under 20 even for large prefixes uh under the bec 32 standard that's that's just beautiful and it's very easy to display on both the mobile client and other client uh so that's definitely something that i think we can easily do and that does not require a substantive change to things and frankly four and four the probabilistic of a collision with that is so incredibly low that that's a good way of displaying the probability of a collision nft arts gps virtual assistant connected to a blockchain accessible to augmented reality glasses what are your thoughts it sounds to me like you got yourself a catalyst idea there son go to catalyst charles what kind of lamborghini do you have i have a huracan an lp 610 huracan although that is getting upgraded to a new evo so that's going to be fun do did harm an animating a privacy in any way if so how if they're used correctly they don't because you can always create a did for a particular use case and it doesn't have to be linked back to a master did so you still have synonymity in the system charles are you excited for 100 decentralization i am so excited for that i am so so excited and that's happening march 31st that's another one of the major things when are we going to see gaps in your platform well you're going to see a lot of proto daps on the devnets and there's already people building that and already people are now it's like singularitynet who are moving over uh and towards the end of the month uh when we do the cardinal 360 episode you're gonna see this beautiful rollout strategy and all throughout april and may and other months like stuff is just going to be going so super quickly uh so we'll we'll have a very competitive showing at the launch and then it'll just kind of pick up like a hockey stick because there's going to be so much demand to do stuff hi charles any thoughts on veganism and herding animals for taste buds that's like a religion you can't really talk about veganism i have a lot of vegans who email me and they say you are inconsistent how dare you torture these animals you know animals eat animals it happens have you ever seen like nature shows not everybody's a nerve war i'm not going to apologize for being a meat eater charles which you prefer inside your home succulents or aquariums succulents sir okay um charles which one is your favorite turtle i assume sir daario that you're talking about teenage mutant ninja turtles and obviously it's donatello do you meditate yes i do or have any practice that sustains you meditation download the calm app it's very nice that's their free advertisement for the day favorite comedy as in like movie or show or favorite comedian favorite comedian is dave chappelle charles what is the greatest lesson you've learned as a leader letting things go and having empathy those two most important things and then i'd suppose the bonus round is elevate others let other people do their best work okay all right well now it is time for the end of the m.a as promised we always do a micro finance loan so let me share my screen okay and there we go we and today we have four gals from senegal the tuoba tuall group okay established in 2010 the hispanic village is composed of four bold women who have known one another for many years and worked in the same industries colu the group's representation representative is uh the right one of the photo with her hand raised i guess that's her the one in the blue okay and she is 49 years old married and has two sons uh one of whom is in school she fattens sheep and sells fresh fish at her village she has 10 years of experience in the field and has no difficulty selling her products with this loan she will buy fresh cases of fresh fish and six sheep to fatten and later resell she's going to use her profits to increase her savings with the bannock village and help with her family expenses okay translated from french by akiva volunteer well and so far they have already raised nearly 2 50 and they're looking for 400 to go so as always we finish it out so we're going to give them all 400. click lend now could not add four oh i guess somebody else did that okay so we only have to do 375. okay and we always give a donation to kifa and here's what we're doing stop sharing the screen real quickly and we'll just go through the checkout process almost through the checkout process continue check out okay and let me go ahead and share the screen one more time looks like we're having a little bit of difficulty the computer is frozen hopefully it comes back soon well okay sorry about that guys okay sorry about that guys it looks like i lost the stream there for a second i tried to share screen and it claps my browser okay so let me share it one more time as soon as i go ahead and reopen kiva and the loan was complete let's just verify that the loan got completed because my browser collapsed slight technical difficulties okay all right yeah it looks good so share screen entire screen there we go okay so right here you can see so far antonio and the tuaba tool group senegal cambodia mexico peru and kenya that's what we have so far and about 2 900 total deposits anyway uh as i've said many times before my life's goal is to see something like kiva running on cardano i know that we've gotten the platform right and we've done the things right should that occur mostly because so much has to happen for that to happen peer-to-peer lending has to occur you have to have a stable coin you have to have proper cash in and cash out in those countries you have to have an identity system you have a payment system you have to have enough liquidity in that type of a system you have to have a large user population you have to have great user experience and user interface i believe cardona will get there and it is one of my goals and as we build out this year and we look to the next five years that's one of my priorities and i'd like to end every single one of these amas with a peer-to-peer loan at some point that i give to someone somewhere in the world who needs it anyway uh thank you so much for your time it was a lot of fun it's a short one because i have another engagement i have to run into but i did want to at least do something with you guys briefly i and i always enjoy these tremendously a little muted today uh unfortunately i've just been so busy and there's so many things going on but i love talking to you and i enjoy you so much all right i'll see you soon see you next week hopefully great things on the horizon i think there will be cheers
