đ Summary
Developer @ Flywheel Networks Managed a national Google AdWords campaign of hundreds of thousands of keywords. From June 2009 to 2010 (1 year) San Francisco Bay AreaPresident @ Interchain Foundation Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain (aka distributed ledgers) are beginning to enter the mainstream consciousness. One of the great tragedies of this emerging industry has been the failure of different networks and protocols to interoperate with one another. Cryptocurrency platforms are competing for dominance with their own, largely incompatible technical roadmaps.The development of alternative Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus algorithms to proof-of-work and the development of new game-theoretic and economic theories (cryptoeconomics) are necessary to plausibly secure a multitude of independent blockchains. Armed with a new class of consensus algorithms and theory we can create the Internet of Blockchains, a network of interoperable distributed ledgers.Interchain Foundation (ICF) is a non-profit Switzerland Foundation. Its purpose is to oversee the development of open-source software and protocols for the Internet of Blockchains. To achieve these goals, the Interchain Foundation will fund the development of software and crypto- economic theory needed to launch the Internet of Blockchain, as well as support members in coordinating the launch of the network.
