Billion dollar conflict resolution idea: crypto trapped in multi-sigs. Gotta be several billion, right? Because people had a falling out, and there aren't enough signers to sign a tx. Sounds to me like accidental bounties on reconciliation๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿค”.

Been following MetaGame fairly closely 'all these years' (since 2019), still picked up some new history/developments from this space. Good vantage point IMO to understand DAOs, get 'alpha' from idealists with skin in the game and scar NFTs to prove it ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿค˜.

Donating on @gitcoin has gone from taxes but better (painful but meaningful), to an actually enjoyable experience. UX much better and discovering so many amazing new projects every time ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿคฏ .

Still digesting this and want to write more about it, but the 'Contribution Theory of Value' here (which takes inspiration from the @sourcecred experiment) at minimum shines a giant floodlight on current web3 dynamics ๐Ÿ”ฆ๐Ÿง.

Finally read this paper from @ElinorRennie and @profjasonpotts . Wonderful synthesis of Hayek and Ostrom to arrive at a novel "contribution theory of value" which explains how blockchains enable the emergence of property rights from the commons in digital economies.

You can pay for minimum viable decentralization if the input youโ€™re paying for is computation. But if it is human input, paying incentivizes creates noise, not signal. Until now. Weโ€™re all about to THRIVE. Soonโ„ข๏ธ.

. which looks promising. So far, they have a slick front-end and 0 config option. Just point SC at a GH repo and scores appear - previously required a fair amount of technical skill and pain ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ๐Ÿฅน. Ambitious vision to integrate AI, ZKPs, EAS ๐Ÿ‘€.

This should be interesting๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€ @sourcecred's original intent was valuing contributions on GitHub. It ended up focusing on non-code contributions (discourse, discord , other ideas), GH plugin was left basically undeveloped until now. @armitagelabs taking it in a new direction. .

Was on GreenPill pod! Ok not interviewed. just gave 5 min talk on @sourcecred with 20 other speakers at Mastermind on impact measurement, which made it to episode. Still, good company. Worth a listen for a great helicopter tour of impact space in web3 and beyond ๐Ÿš๐Ÿ”๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ.
