EDI will be unbiased. Yet with Aggelos at the helm (https://ed.ac.uk/informatics/blockchain/edi/team) it doesn't help from an optics POV. What can we tell others about how EDI will remain impartial?
Charles: This may be out there for a few folks but ;)
In your pursuit of health and finding alternative ways to live longer, have you investigated this product? I can say for sure it brings my body into a harmonious state and it does for everyone.
Radiac - https://www.baar.com/radiac-starter-kit
It really does help and I encourage looking into this alternative.
Charles! If the election for President was held tomorrow between all the potential candidates. Who would you vote for? Feel free to give reasons "why" and your "why nots" since we all know politicians come with a mixed bag of eccentricities, values, and understandings on the subjects being deposed to them on any given day. Curious to your thoughts on the matter as it stands on the day you read this and consider it!
Let us know about the real possibility of some technically very advanced blockchains becoming sidechains (partner chains) of Cardano?
If some of them (Algorand, COTI, etc...) fail to obtain the critical mass for success, wouldn't it be a win-win?
Hi Charles.I recently had a discussion for the trust of an asset.For example, we have seen that the creator keeps 99% of capitalization on some scams.How can anyone know, for example, that Charles does not own it and at some point it will make a sell off?
Hey there! You mentioned your interest in developing decentralized apps (dapps). Could you share more about the specific type of dapp you're looking to create or the innovative aspects of dapps that fascinate you.
If not too personal, could you tell us what kind of protocols and supplements you're interested in (or currently using) for longevity and/or overall health improvements? I love what you've been doing in recent years and I really hope you live a long and healthy life, plus you have unlimited resources so I'm genuinely curious as to what you find works best.
Since smart contracts are relatively small programs it makes sense to use a purely functional language like Aiken which compiles to UPLC. Is a purely functional smart contract architecture and EuTxO the future or is there room for other paradigms? Also, doing my master's in computer science and want to focus on research and thesis for blockchain and verification of smart contracts, any suggestions?
What are the things that need to happen so that all blockchains can unite instead of constantly fighting each other? (or is this just part of the process?)
Will you do a video response for Seth Klarman who recently (https://youtu.be/eX6MgK0cfCI?t=225) said that he tried to understand but he cannot see the value in it?
Hello Charles, Thank you for your involvement in web3.
Can you tell us about the ISO20022 standard and how Cardano will be used within this compliance standard?
take care of yourself, sincerely, Samsepiol.
Greeting from France.
Hi Charles. Could we not create the Kiva micro lending type app now? Itโs been a long time waiting for this on Cardano. Please you can help the community bring such a life changing app onto Cardano. ๐๐พ
Charles! Love your AMAs. Have you ever looked into Centerpointe Research Institute? They are one of the two major groups which first developed brain entrainment using binaural beats to induce deeper states of consciousness. I have used the lower levels of it for years with positive effects. They have a free intro program that's a lecture with binaural beats in the background that lets you get a feel for it. I don't get anything for mentioning this to you. Joe - https://www.centerpointe.com
When i speak to friends of Web3 and Blockchains, my friends fail to understand. Can you Charles explain Web3 and Blockchains in a way that the masses can understand.
There was that paper Minotaur about combining consensus, PoW + PoS, would it be possible to merge blockchains that way, like an opposite of a hark fork? For example could Cardano and Ergo merge to one even more sefcre blockchain where they both secure each other?
Human governed organizations ultimately often end in failure because the governance eventually reaches a point of corruption from which there is no return. Why not create a protocol to keep, for example, human governance (or even AI for that matter) of Cardano's DAO and constitution in check, so it gives these two as much protection from centralized corruption as the consensus protocol gives to the txs on the network?
I recall you had to use a "security detail" starting 2021 or so. Do you still need one? Any thoughts on this you want to share? It suck that you need one. Much love.
What exactly is IOHK's business model? What are your income sources, and where do they come from? Are you just funding it from an big ADA pile you have in the corner, or does it stand on it's own legs? And what are the plans for the future, after CIP 1694 is live?
Why haven't you gotten together with Elon Musk yet to talk about unifying Cardano with X? I know you made a video on how to do it, but why not go call him on the phone and have a meeting? And considering the upcoming election of Javier Milei in Argentina, the economic situation in Argentina and the huge crypto adoption to avoid the Argentinean peso, why not call him and give Cardano a chance to be implemented in a place where the adoption could be massive?
Hi Charles, my question is this:
If the president of some country entrusted you with the task of designing the new currency of this country, how would you do it? What features would you use in your design?
I have a criticism if you search the web or platforms like youtube for information on how to create tokens in EVM there are thousands of tutorials and that encourages experienced or beginner developers to give activity to the network, but if you try to search for the same thing in cardano there is very little content, I think that this is an error that Cardano has left to chance and it should not be like that, they would have to work on publishing more content so that all developers who are star
Project Catalyst and Intersect are said to be top-down initiatives done 'from IOG to the community', rather than truly decentralized community-led initiatives. How do you respond?
Hi Charless What Do You Think About Project Game Cirnucopias and Chains Of War on Cardano , I mean theres both have a similiarity build with Real Engine 5 have their own token $Copi and $Mira , which one you prefered to chose?
Mr. Charles how crypto field will look during world wide hipper-inflation scenario, what BNB and coinbase will do? how Cardano would be impacted in this case?
Charles! Do you think that Biden, Putin and the like are just plain old psychopaths? And should we build them a special VR zoo so that that can leave normal people alone?
Charles! How do you reconcile the fact that most people unfortunately will never have the technical ability, nor the interest, to keep and manage their own private keys? Any project on Cardano implementing account abstraction? Or perhaps something biometric based? Most people today can barely hold on to a simple password... Cheers from Poutine Land.
Hey Charles, are you aware of iagon and what they are building on Cardano? Can we get some thoughts on them? Some people think you're intentionally avoiding talking about them..
Philosophy in the Flesh: the Embodied Mind and its Challenge to Western Thought - Georage Lakoff - How even our most abstract thought relies on metaphors derived from bodily experience - Curious if you are familiar with the book/ideas ? - Given AI will never have that bodily experience, would you agree it is anthropomorphic in the extreme to imagine that AI will think like us.- (Myself, I'm excited that AI will think differently!- More fact based) Thank you for who you are and what you stand for
It would be convenient to have a voting testnet available to check the availability to vote prior to the actual closing of registration. It would allow testing of the pin and password. A verification for the ability to vote on the upcoming catalyst projects, verification of password, verification of pin. Also a rehearsal for a newcomers who have previously not voted.
Hey Charles, during one of your AMA's in 2021 you mentioned The Spatial Web. Have you followed up on the Ai technology that Dan Mapes and Gabriel Rene have been working on at Verses Ai? If so, what do you think?
Hi Charles,
It brings me great joy to see how you folks progress โ well done
I want to publish and sell my book on Cardano - Please assist.
Itโs called โHow we made itโ, started it during onset of 2009 recession
Itโs special and unique as it was written prior and during the course of us โmaking itโ and not an โafter the factโ.
I take readers on the journey with me โ the highs and lows. Spanning from 13 May 2008, when I was at my lowest, to Dec 2022.
thank you for your commitment
On the "Machine Learning Street Talk" podcast with Stephen Wolfram, Wolfram discusses the physics of the observer in terms of cellular automata and the ruliad. I would love to hear your take on this and how we might apply these ideas to the network?
Charles, I would like to create a desktop wallpaper that live updates with the daily ISW(https://www.understandingwar.org/) Map updates revolving around the frontline of Ukraine. What stream of conscious could you provide in furtherance of this goal?
Thank you so much.
G'day Charles, hope all is fine in Sunny Colorado. What is your take on Crypto regulation in the US? Any progress? When will we have a clear guideline?
Hi Charles, is anyone working on implementing Conclaves? The paper was published on 2021 and since then it has been radio silence. PS: kudos to Matthew for creating this tool.
Imo, a big problem with legacy financial sys is wealth centralization (and tendency toward that state), compounded by generational inheritance. Much of the capital is locked up or isn't being used to innovate/ improve standard of living for the average Joe/Jill/Jem. How can (or does) Cardano ecosystem avoid that?
Could you explain or elaborate on how solid project and blockchain and or web id will converge over time on the concept of "my identity" so everyone has their own control of their own identity, and understands it? The space is a bit cluttered. Thanks
What do the folks at Dubai think about the theme of the Hackathon?
It does not seem to me that they would be interested in technologies of transparency, does it to you?
My 96 year old mother gets 5-10 calls a day that are scams. Everyone's emails are full of spam. You talked once about how Crypto could solve identity on the internet. How would that work? Could Cardano solve the problem that my mom faces with spam callers?
What is the tech that will allow fast tx? eg a tx that is done within a few seconds instead of having to wait 20s like we do for current blocks. is there any?
Could you update us on why Djed was de-pegged and the value per coin was sometimes over $1.10, a month or so ago? Please talk about it objectively as you do. It will be a good exercise and helpful for the community, I think.
As far as being a stake pool operator (SPO), is it possible for one stake pool to handle mainnet and also sidechains simultaneously? For additional detail: I see a lot of SPOs having more than one stake pool, e.g.: POOL, POOL2, POOL3, etc. My question focuses on one stake pool, so let's say POOL2. Can POOL2 handle transactions from mainnet and 1-N sidechains, at least theoretically? This is an important question because it offers more incentivization in terms of yield for an SPO.
Tell us about Bison meat. What is the taste like, how do you cook it, what spices or sauces (if any). And if you make your own sauce, will you bottle it and brand it soon? :)
Greetings from Denmark. Crypto Twitter is full of people that doubt and ridicule Cardano and its followers.
They think it's overhyped. Are they simply naysayers and haters or what's the real issue?
I honestly don't understand why there's so much hate and criticism.
I'm very frustrated and disappointed with Catalyst team.
3 years in and we haven't had the opportunity to do a single on chain vote to get community wide input on how Catalyst should be operated.
Questionable behaviour like removal of proposals from competition in the Fund ops category in F10 doesn't feel very fair or decentralised.
Why have these unelected officials ran Catalyst which grant public funding without our approval ? Where is the accountability ?
#1 *there are 22.7 billon ADA staked ruffly 67% and defi has 169 million how will defi grow with out pulling ada out of the staking pools? #2 When will Cardano run a TRESS test on the Cardano network ??? https://youtu.be/d7xoczfvpUg?si=YU99LsHM9_0sVW2c
Hi Charles, Can you talk about how Cardano and other chains will need to respond to quantum computing improvements?
Also... Would love to see functionality here to upvote/downvote unanswered questions?
Thanks for taking the time to address some of our questions. I bought into ADA based on your vision and hard work which made me believe in the project. I am curious to know what your vision might be in regards to the ADA staking mechanism, over time the % return is decreasing significantly which could push people back into FIAT or a different crypto. Is there a plan to "charge" side chains using Cardano and share this with any holders of ADA to replace the drop in % in the future?
What cryptographic advancements might be necessary to enable a seamless and secure interaction between large language models and zero-knowledge proofs within a blockchain ecosystem?
How might the integration of large language models and zero-knowledge proofs influence the development of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), especially in terms of decision-making transparency, smart contract execution, and resource allocation?
Considering the potential for bias and misinformation in AI-generated content, explain how a decentralized reputation system on a blockchain, coupled with large language models and zero-knowledge proofs, could verify the accuracy and trustworthiness of information without compromising individual privacy.
Could you explore the legal and ethical implications of combining large language models and zero-knowledge proofs in a blockchain ecosystem, particularly regarding data ownership, liability, and the "right to be forgotten"?
How could a blockchain network utilizing AI-driven consensus protocols, zero-knowledge proofs for privacy, and quantum cryptography for secure communication pave the way for the creation of autonomous, self-regulating networks capable of adapting to dynamic user demands and threats?
Describe a future scenario where Cardano's blockchain incorporates quantum-safe cryptography, AI-driven smart contract optimization, and zero-knowledge proofs to establish a highly efficient and secure platform for decentralized applications. What are the major technical considerations and benefits?
Is there any update to IOG Bitcoin development such as dandelion? Is IOG activity working on any projects to improve Bitcoin? My philosophy is the better bitcoin becomes the better Cardano will be...
Would it be wise to make a more transparent SPO community to insure that BIG companyโs cant spin up a bunch of Nodes in order to gain more control over our ecosystem? DID`s for SPO`s so people can check who is behind the stakepool.
You've mentioned several times that you're a capitalist. Recently, there's been talk about AI possibly ending capitalism... In her interview with Lex, Neri Oxman emphasized that the way we interact with the physical world today doesn't align with the natural world's time dimension and that this needs to change, but it's hard in community that is based on capitalism. Could you share your personal definition of capitalism and your thoughts on how it might evolve or be replaced in the near future?
Is there a matketplace for requesting features of dapps or foss software to pay for the development of specific features. Possibly with an oracle for automatic payout. To vote/pay with ada to incentevice devs.
Charles, what is your definition of a digital nation state? The second part of that question is, do you think they'll be representatives in/of the Cardona's Nation State that will hold office in other countries? Or do you think it'll be the other way around, where different countries representatives Will hold office in cardano's nation state?
When are we going to see the first country using the Cardano blockchain for their e-residency program? A sort of legal DID on the blockchain issue by a state.
Is it something that IOG is working on? A NFT on Cardano as a DID would make sense.
I've looked at that ICP's website, and they are referencing cardano and it's research a lot, and claiming they run on PoUW, which I remember you posting some paper about. What do you know about that project? (Internet Computer)
BTC's security model is broken
It has to double in price every 4 years for a century or sustain extremely high fees!
Just to maintain the present level of security...
Justin Bonos dropped a thread with a pretty compelling case, whatโs your take ? Is he right?
Can you address the sentiment that fixed supply L1 will run out of security budget and become vulnerable to 51% attack. @JustinBons wrote a thread about it with BTC. Now iโm seeing it referenced by ETH community for all fixed supply chains โ the problem is with coins that have a fixed max supply cuz they are basically slowly but surely running out of security budget,โ
Can you give a simple framework on what we should look for when judging a blockchain(or any other distributed ledger technology)? It always seem like you have refreshing takes when asked about your thoughts on blockchain projects, and rather than us asking you about all the projects there is, it would be nice to learn your framework when judging whether or not a project is good or not.
Charles, in your view, has any blockchain solved the trilemma? Are any close? Which blockchains have a roadmap that could actually deliver a solution to the trilemma? Thanks!
Have you found a supplier for a good geopolymer mix or are you developing your own blend? Have you considered using a geopolymer hempcrete wall system?
Making a decentralized opensource system available for the replacement of the Legislative and Executive branches of governments, capable of providing self governmenance, at local to national to international scales, and direct citizen intervention through it.
Can you improve my proposal?
Is this in any shape or form what you are trying to do with your new government system proposal?
What stage is your government service transformation project at, and how can we get more information on it?
Could you please share your thoughts on VyFi and the vision that Steven Ward presents? Could you please describe DEX liquidity aggregation and how it may impact the Cardano ecosystem when the "Auto Harvester" is released?
Hi Charles! I want to know if you're doing something to mitigate the issue about pools with slow block propagation.
Could it be a penalization for those pools for some time? it could be parametrized
Hi Charles, IS there a possibility to make swaps on dexes via mobile devices ? Like on ethereum? Or is it more complicated becouse of programing language ?
What do you think about endowing universities, advanced physics institutes with a bunch of money and set them on the path to research and discover some new physics? More broadly, what do you think about putting several pots of money towards some key, civilizational issues? This question was inspired by Eric Weinstein, who wants us to research what he calls new physics.
Charles Hello, How can community members whom aren't SPO's get involved w/ Midnight? Also does IOHK use narrators for any pedagogy materials they produce or is Timb Harrison the King of the Roost?
Why can't you connect (as in see eye to eye) with Elon Musk? You both are pushing the boundaries of knowledge through the research done by your companies, why is there no partnership of sorts -- I feel like if you two came together you could 'fix money'?
Do you think Cardano will convert to a mutable supply of ADA? Is there any safeguard against this?
It seems a mutable supply is the obvious outcome with code that can be changed by governance. Unless somehow code prevents this...it seems, to me, virtually inevitable - if so, what are your thoughts on this predicament? Many of us entered for the immutable supply w/programmability & governance. We also felt the trilemma was being solved here...but at what cost?
Any update on the Token Builder GUI mentioned here: https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2021/02/18/building-native-tokens-on-cardano-for-pleasure-and-profit/ Is it going to be integrated with Lace? Maybe Daedalus? Thanks! - $wildoy
Can cryptocurrency wallet be used for passkey (FIDO2 login)? I would love to see a login with Cardano option instead of login with Facebook / Google / X. It would be interesting if there were a CIP for the wallet derivation to have webauth key derivation (m/n' purpose field?) for each seed then the Cardano wallet and it's funds wouldn't be exposed but could be used for webauth.
Why has IOHK / Emurgo / CF consistently worked to undermine the Cardano community by competing with their own products, often with blatant plagiarism?
What is your response to @TheCardanoTimes report?
When will you acknowledge the winners of the Lobster Challenge you started more than 2 days ago? The winning Dev Team already provided their solution to the Proof-of-Burn challenge, and you never sent them your Lobster NFT.
Can you draw parallels between Blockchain and Stephan Wolfram's physics project? More specifically are there connections to be made between Input Endorsers and Wolfram's ideas about Multicomputation? Thanks, $wildoy
How do you envision Native Tokens becoming useful? Crypto used to be "we fight inflation" yet anyone can launch a token. IMO it's confusing for onboarding avg users. Seems to be a day trading scheme for nerds. How could it be used as an actual currency with such price fluctuations?
Can you explain why you need a side chain and additional token for midnight? How does this compare to other cardano features such as Marlowe or hydra which do not need additional tokens?
Hi Charls, how to oversight design decisions taken from "trusted" institutions like the Cardano foundation, where there was no voting? Could you comment on the latest unpopular cardano-foundation-updates-delegation-strategy... https://forum.cardano.org/t/cardano-foundation-updates-delegation-strategy/122773/132?u=francd
Hi, would it be good to have Native tokens functionality expanded to have freezable/not-freezable asset as an option when minting? Could this be of use for some stablecoins/future regulation/liquidity inflow, just to have it present as option at protocol level?
Hi Charles, would you be interested in creating an objective media platform that tells objective facts about what's happening in the world? In your recent X space, you talked about Biden saying "We'll give $100 billion to Israel and Ukraine", and you explained what that really means: he's basically going to spend half of all US taxes on proxy wars. I would love to have an objective media source that connects the dots like that. You're the best. Love you!
Hi Charles, as a crypto passionate artist I was wondering what's the philosophy behind the marvellous cardano logo and who is the designer? Keep up the great work.
Hi - I saw that you recently were using Ubuntu Linux as a desktop. Curious if you made the switch entirely, or are using it separate of your Windows environment. How's the change going?
Current speculation surrounding AI predicts almost all jobs will be replaced in the future by the technology. In regards to jobs that are easily automated i.e. accounting, payroll, finance officers etc. how can implementing blockchain(s) to govern decentralised large language models mitigate this? Or is it an inevitability?
Thanks Charles!
Can you compare Cardano Partnerchains to Polkadot Parachains? How are they similar? How are they different? And could a chain be both a Partnerchain and a Parachain at the same time? Thanks! - $wildoy
you were given a strange book with drawings about Cardano and Etherium from another world.
What I saw reminds me of the Codex Seraphinianus.
I keep thinking about it and would like to see it.
can you talk about it?
with great love
Peterlustig
What do you think the reason IPFS isn't used more for web2 projects? Is it primarily an incentivization problem or is it more its strengths / weaknesses don't cater to highest demand case (large files / infrequent usage)?
How are you so well-rounded with so many different topics? How could someone become more well-rounded allowing them to talk about anything similar to how you can?
What are your thoughts on native multi-delegation? In your opinion is it something we should try and accomplish? Or should we aim to keep the base layer simple in this regard? Thanks -$wildoy
Let's say there is a rich beautiful princess. She is young and has an unnatural infatuation with Charles Hoskinson; in fact she has a poster of Charles above her bed. She is so committed, she purchased over 1 billion Cardano, and staked them on 1,000 different stake pools. Sadly, after she hid her hard wallets where no one could find them, she died from an unfortunate masterbation accident on her bed. Here is the question, over time will those staked accounts own all the Cardano?
In the year 2043, a young man in a small South American town mows a lawn for his neighbor for .5 Cardano. Afterwards he goes to the local store and buys a soda for .05 Cardano. How do you anticipate these transactions happening? Can it be done in Cardano, or is an L2 going to be more appropriate? How does the shop owner pay sales tax?
