Hey Peter, that would be great! I'll send you an email.
Thanks! Just sent you a couple of questions. I look forward to it & happy to help the campaign.
Speech-to-text for cryptocurrency tweets is the worst.

Much excite: I just backed Peepeth, the Social Network For A Better World on @Kickstarter. Impressed by the live platform so far (MetaMask required). Hoping it's one of the first wave of dapps with actual adoption. http://kck.st/2N7Xh5a @peepethApp
Hey @Bevan, I want to mention Peepeth & the KS in a podcast ep. Thursday, ~4k listens. DTube also gets a mention. It’s on censorship (historically of heresy & sedition, recently of several public figures across the political spectrum) Have a minute to chat or at least 1-2 quotes?

Peepeth, the uncensorable, decentralized Twitter, is launching a #Kickstarter to raise a little money for developing a native mobile app and more. Time to start peeping again. https://peepeth.com @peepethApp
Oh Charles! (And Bizarro Charles)

Peepeth cut off the image and didn’t activate the link:D
Let’s try this again. “Ethereum Challengers #2: EOS” at https://bitgenste.in/EOS
The irony of posting on #Ethereum Challengers to Peepeth is not lost on me, but this week’s is #EOS.
Also talks Byzantine Generals, DPoS, mass adoptability, Everipedia, etc.
Check it out on the ICO Alert blog or at bitgenste.in/eos
(Next week is ADA.)

Thanks to @snowcrawl, @wgmeets, and @dcinvestor for your recent donations in the fight against malaria! We are proud to be a part of a community that values giving back to the world. DeezNuts aren't worth anything, but your show of support is valued beyond words. 🖖🤘✊
Lol, I’ll take some DEEZ if this is still open. Thanks for promoting the cause

#Trust wallet is fine and dandy, and the dev's on peepeth as well!
Should I switch from #Cipher? #Coinbase acquired them recently, not sure where that’s heading
Replying to @Tulloch (0x00fbfcf036fe12012c849c3f7dd9cb0afb7d64c1)
Digging the platform, excellent execution! Barrier to entry is high (Metamask + ETH), so is the current cost of the Ethereum platform - but it works today!
Indeed. I use it with Cipher browser, too. Welcome to Peepeth!
@Bevan @NeerajKA suggestion for Peepeth badge down the line: Coin Center supporter

Does anyone have any thoughts on how new "right to be forgotten" regulation such as #GDPR will affect the blockchain, where - by definition- things cannot be deleted?
Probably better to give you the first Peep rather than the last eh

Hey @Zanzi, check out the quick GDPR/blockchain Peepeth discussion we had at https://peepeth.com/bitgenstein/peeps/QmSck5LCcWMMef9c3giq8SFeBHbpPW2rMsPRCNNVjqv5HE
Convos are a little tricky to follow on Peepeth still but, there were some ideas had

Great stuff Bevan. Here's my post: https://blocksplain.com/2018/04/17/peepeth-decentralized-twitter/
Well written. Note that MetaMask isn’t the only option:) Cipher on iOS works for example (compatible with MetaMask too tho)
I shall provide you an Ensō shortly

Great analysis on the amount of ether most likely lost due to sending to the wrong address because of a typo - ~12,000 eth lost! https://media.consensys.net/over-12-000-ether-are-lost-forever-due-to-typos-f6ccc35432f8
This is part of why protections like double-sig (txs to invalid addresses get sent back) and maybe human-readable addresses are crucial to mass adoption
That’s how I use it. @cipherbrowser can even import an existing MetaMask account and use your iPhone’s Secure Enclave

It does. Sadly. Looking forward to reading more from you. Thank you for the work you're doing. I love it when philosophers write about tech!
Ah, fascinating. Perhaps I’ll follow this 10-platform survey with a philosophical piece.
Spoilers: we’re innovating self-governing collectives that don’t require infeasible dedication at the individual level to keep running. Quite a novelty. #anarchosociocapitalistmarxism, lol

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to reading this and comparing it to what I thought about RSK last I wrote about it: https://www.callmegwei.com/2017/11/14/ethereum-rootstock-bitcoin-smart-contracts/
Thoughtful points! I don’t make any kind of actual prediction in my bit regarding the two. You’re right that “competitors” may be more clickbait than truth; “alternatives” might prove truer but sounds awfully boring, doesn’t it:)?
The first #cryptocurrency in this 10-part series was one I needed to research more: #RSK (#RootStock), whose #BTC hybrid sidechains might challenge #Ethereum

How is that information hidden on the blockchain after authenticating the key?
Not sure. Just a rough example idea, and quite possibly not best GDPR solution
Chain never holds the unencrypted data point in question, but a sm. contract can use data key from decentralized mgmt to read/process data point, if key is there. Could even “recycle” data to new key
Replying to @Bryce (0xf54ea10ed1aa644a9ef2ce870e6122c35d19f4da)
Not saying you can't do it, saying it hurts the point of censorability. Governments can demand your decryption keys. Also, wouldn't encryption increase transaction sizes and make things more expensive?
Re: size, maybe. Depends on the b-chain design.
Re: keys, they couldn’t demand from a decentralized data key mngmnt system
E.g. user has key that only allows deletion of data key, not retrieval of key, & wants to “delete” medical data on one ledger as he is switching to another
Replying to @bitgenstein (0x13be1af70ff037d1d3ddbdd16a3ef79c6cbfb2fd)
@alec @balresch Actually, I could do it today on any major chain: add encrypted data and then later destroy the key. Not seeing anything about blockchain inherently contrary to this as the data on the ledger is still immutable. Decentralized data-key mngmnt could work
@alec @bryce @balresch But I understand your concerns. Transparency is one of the greatest ways blockchain can change the world for good.
Replying to @Bryce (0xf54ea10ed1aa644a9ef2ce870e6122c35d19f4da)
We understand that, I think. I'm just debating why we shouldn't want those solutions on a blockchain platform. If you want control over the data on a database, a blockchain isn't your database.

On this note: an article about skunkworks in a #refugee camp. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/610806/inside-the-jordan-refugee-camp-that-runs-on-blockchain/
Awesome article. Would’ve hated to miss this one.
Imagine if Holocaust/Khmer Rouge/etc. victims had been able to bring their identity and wealth anywhere with just a password in their heads
Replying to @balresch (0xd6d48727d8835b73f8dc511a5baaf3445a6f65c9)
@bitgenstein @alec @bryce Not saying I am pro-mutability, just arguing the point.
@alec @bryce @balresch Exactly, I’m not suggesting mutability or anything drastic, just an idea enabling the protections of blockchain and yet also allowing the privacy many people take seriously.
Just a thought experiment; EU will go after privacy violators however they can.
Replying to @Bryce (0xf54ea10ed1aa644a9ef2ce870e6122c35d19f4da)
It's a public ledger where anybody has equal access to the data. There (to my knowledge) are no decryption keys, that data isn't encrypted. If we could throw away the keys, it wouldn't be immutable. Encryption is used to sign transactions but not for publically available data.
I was proposing a possible solution to chat about; it’s not in place currently, at least for most networks. A system like that would still be immutable but would allow very specifically defined parts to be made inaccessible, while still preventing forgery, double-spend, etc.
Replying to @Alec (0x23677376bc1b7f48970b83a7ce0d0367395eac9e)
If the data is forgotten, then the entire point of having a ledger is moot, irregardless of how that data is forgotten. I don't think you understand the point of the ledger.
It’s not that I don’t understand; there are a number of applications in which privacy is desirable but e.g. forgery and post-editing is not. Or in which associating personal data is really not critical to ledger integrity.
Replying to @balresch (0xd6d48727d8835b73f8dc511a5baaf3445a6f65c9)
I think that is a follow up on #hodl and (more Peepeth-specific) #lkie
No way. Revealing my n00bness:)

Solutions to delete stuff on the blockchain? That's not gonna happen. All you can do is filter frontends like this site, but not the blockchain itself.
@Bryce @BradyDale I’m not thinking of violating immutability. What about solutions where for example a key to decrypt a given person’s private data on the #blockchain is destroyed? Blockchain remains immutable, but “right to be forgotten” remains
Just an example. @peeplosophy
#peeplosophy The EU’s GDPR promises citizens the “right to deletion” (“right to be forgotten”).
Watching to see if #blockchain devs in general consider solutions or just ignore:p
@abcoathup here’s an example of why #Peepeth might want to integrate easy private messages: I want to tell you about “buidling” in your message to the world, but I don’t wanna be a jerk about it by being all public:p
Dreamed #Bitcoin went to $50. Bought more, told *all* my friends to.
Then it went to $0.

<b>Pete, thank you for buying a Mosquito badge!</b> The Against Malaria Foundation does exceptional work. Your donation prevents real suffering. Thank you for your support! If you'd like to learn more: peepeth.com/malaria @bitgenstein
I worked with non-profits (orphans) for years, and one concern about *some* libertarian tenets popular in #cryptocurrency is that they might leave the poor behind.
So I greatly appreciate seeing #charity initiatives like this one! Thanks for including it in #Peepeth.

It is my pleasure. I hope I can get it in front of people far and wide - not just those already on Peepeth. If anyone has reddit, upvotes would probably help Peepeth awareness: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/8c2yit/an_intro_to_peepeth_the_real_crypto_twitter_and/
Good points about free people. Quick q: EOS (and others) aim for a future w/o user-facing transaction fees, or w/ fees essentially built into mathematically-controlled inflation. Maybe social media and even Peeps will eventually live in a model both free *and* “free”?

(6/6) The old guard will, quietly or claiming to aid the revolution, move to seize power even as decentralized services – exchanges, marketplaces, interoperability, etc. – ostensibly decrease reliance on trust. They are increasingly doing this by acquiring companies.

Tell me more. What are the top five dangers you're aware of? Will they supplement existing dangers or supplant them? If the latter, are they *lesser* dangers or greater? If the "blockcahin revolution" is wildly successful, wealth centralization is still going to be a big problem

(5/6) “Trustless” and “oligarchy” are incompatible concepts, of course. We have yet to design a system resistant enough to oligarchy to be adequately described as trustless, unless I just haven’t found it yet.

(4/6) E.g. few people foresaw Satoshi’s decentralized-sounding whitepaper yielding a new form of oligarchy. Now new consensus models potentially have the same outcomes, via different paths. Some are even oligarchical by design.

(3/6) I believe you’re right on wealth centralization being the greatest problem. And that it will happen mostly in ways we didn’t predict.

(2/6) That’s exactly why the warning, though: we all develop expectations, which can become blinders – and prevent us from noticing the greatest new dangers until they’ve gathered enough strength.

1/6) Freedom revolutions usually (always?) go this way, yet specific far-out predictions are nearly always wrong:) So I hesitate to make them.
