He discusses coordination amongst the community participants including his recent open letter to ETC Labs. He shares thoughts on the expected attrition of blockchain systems as the wars to establish the winning standards continue. He also shares his thoughts on proof of work including its singular security properties. He suggests ETC, as a secure proof of work blockchain system, can service as an attractive base layer for non-proof-of-work blockchain systems like those incorporating proof of stake. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are passionate about anything related to ETC, and have something to say, we'd love to discuss that with you on the show. We are always looking for interesting guests so don't be afraid to ask! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We would like to thank IOHK (Input Output Hong Kong) for funding this effort.
