Of course I'm in too. I'll use AWS or similar service in a region that makes sense and ultimately organise a dedicated server.

Well for the benefit of those who may read this at a later date -  the LTB Network is a publishing platform. It's a great soap box to stand on. And like most good soap boxes, it doesn't do the talking.

Beyond Bitcoin is and always will be by every conceivable definition of the word, Independent.

There.

Hi guys, so, first up, thanks to fuz for the emails!

The podcast is itself an RSS feed of links to audio files. So mixing the content up confuses the issue. Now the two content types are separated - processed content goes to LTB as weekly BB podcast and the primary resourses go to BBH. This includes the hangouts and light edits of interviews.

Second, there is no necessary relationship between LTB and the content on the site - It's just a blog site. BB is perfectly independent. Anything you hear in the podcasts, the authors put there. I'm a big appreciator of them but I agree that there is a gaping hole where technical content could fit.

The only way to get other communities involved - and we need communities, not just speaking devs - is to get involved with them, learn about their projects, answer questions on their boards. If we push our agenda too much we risk alienating folks. The first order of business has to be to make friends and understand the angles. This is community building and we have all the tools, skills and know how we need. The different approaches to answering the 2.0 question are sometimes philosophical and sometimes target market driven but each is experiencing success because it appeals to a value set and view of the future. For this reason they will all continue to experience success - there is simply more than one way to skin the proverbial cat.

that's my bit. I have some editing to do but one final thing we need is a web developer. We need some groovy juice to help with curating what may quickly turn into a large amount of archive content, a separate module for a project news blog on the front page (I can do this actually I guess) and there has to be some cool stuff we're not thinking of that a UX dev could dream up. Stuff to think about anyway while we peruse the WWW of crypto

catchya later guys, keep it cranking

Thanks guys, I've been super busy and the website did the job so I stopped working on it for the time being. It's in Joomla. It's ok, I'm a hopless web dev though so things move slow haha

No I disagree... you could have a public DB of both signature dependency information and "receipts" that are "signed" (stamped?) by DACs AND all sorts of hierarchical key inference trickery. It doesn't need to be a DAC but it would effectively leech-mines many other DACs.
I am not sure about the long-term plans for keyhotee but from what I understand it doesn't lay a good enough foundation to be able to quantify trust and thus have effective credit DACs

That's unfortunate, I had envisioned Keyhotee as, in part, a reputation platform that may ultimately integrate an insurance history rating, credit score, ebay rating, etc. Maybe with the ability to grant limited permissions to parties concerned with specific reputation elements.

Fantastic. Thanks man. And props to fuz for making it happen. I'll put it up on www.beyondbitcoinshow.com too as an article

Could you please post a link? I'm not sure how to get to this podcast....?

That makes a ton of sense. Here's the libsyn page:

I won't be there but I'm hoping to listen later.

I'd really like to hear reputation management. This has always fascinated me and seems central to many potential DACs.
