In addition to soulbound tokens...she discusses MOLOCHdao

MolochDAO is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization, deployed on Ethereum mainnet. Members contribute capital with the sole intention of giving it all away to fund Ethereum infrastructure as an essential digital public good.

With the omipresent all-seeing eye....is that what that symbol on the dollar bill foreshadowed?

This is a world that I will refuse to live in.



This is a so-called Eye of Providence. I drove around Providence.....Rhode Island this week. The number of cameras that are EVERYWHERE in this city with warning signs everywhere is overwhelming. The Eye of Providence indeed.

The decentralised autonomous organisation concept is actually a very good one, I think. It allows for organisations to run themselves, without human involvement. So, it would do allocation of funds, creating contracts, dispatching the product, etc. That in itself is fine.

As ever, the issue is who owns the code and algorithms, and can we see it too check it?

Moloch is certainly a bad name. But, the principle of having a well funded DAO to improve infrastructure, eg by evaluating the weakness in Ethereum's infrastructure and then paying others to improve it, is fair enough, imo. This is only a small advance from where we are already - where computers have taken over lots of grunt work. I think I could argue that algorithmic trading is less trustworthy and more dangerous.

Actually... when you think about it, is there really much difference between an entirely automated organisation, and the corporate structures we already have? Employees get on board with whatever they are told to. But even the CEO can only steer the organisation in certain directions - ie, even he is not all powerful, but more of a figurehead.
