Ep 7 - James Duffy - Scaling Decentralized Apps and Games

Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our eighth episode features Michael Casey. Michael Casey is a hugely influential voice in the blockchain and decentralization space, as a writer, educator, advisor, and many other roles. He spent over 18 years at the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires before joining the MIT Digital Currency Initiative, where he is now a senior advisor. He is the author of multiple books, including The Age of Cryptocurrency and his most recent book, The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything. Michael also serves as chairman of the advisory board at CoinDesk, where he still writes a weekly column, and he's recently started a new company: Network Effects.

Michael discusses with Tor how he first got interested in the blockchain and decentralization space, the potential impact of global regulation, how popular social platforms fail at decentralization and privacy, how journalists can better measure and communicate the value of decentralized technologies and projects, and, for at least a couple minutes, crowdsourced singing holograms.

Ep 8 - Michael Casey - Data, Privacy, and Decentralization

Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our ninth episode features Nathan Schneider. Nathan is a journalist and author as well as a professor of media studies at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He’s written some really interesting books, including one about the Occupy movement and another about God, so he has some experience tackling fairly complex topics. His latest book is called “Everything for Everyone: The Radical Tradition that is Shaping the Next Economy,” and it focuses on the role of cooperatives in our society - and in our future. As a result, Nathan has some very interesting and relevant ideas about “decentralization” as a movement and as a term, and he recently wrote a piece titled “What to do once you admit that decentralizing everything never seems to work.”

On this episode Nathan and Tor discuss platform cooperativism, trust and accountability, the value of privacy, the difference between protocols and platforms, and how we should be defining this weird term “decentralization” - and whether it is a goal in itself or a means to another end.

Ep 9 - Nathan Schneider - Platform Cooperativism and the Meaning of Decentralization

Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our eleventh episode features Alison Macrina. Alison is the Community Team Lead at the Tor Project. The Tor Project primarily maintains the Tor anonymity network, which allows users to browse the internet while preserving their privacy. Tor is decentralized by design, utilizing a principle called "onion routing," and they have nodes all over the world. Alison is also the founder of the Library Freedom Project, which helps educate librarians about the importance of privacy and gives them resources to help organize and educate their communities.

On this episode Alison and Tor (the podcast host, not the project) discuss how the Tor network protects its users, how preserving privacy is essential to human freedom, the relationship between decentralization and privacy, the dangers of "growth at all costs," and why she's skeptical of many of the people and projects in the blockchain space.

Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our nineteenth episode features Max Brody. Max is the co-founder and CEO of Cent, a social network built on Ethereum that aims to get creators paid directly for sharing their work and wisdom. Cent is another example of a “hybrid dApp”, where parts of the product are decentralized (and other parts centralized) for the ultimate benefit of users. Max himself is an experienced designer as well as a musician and writer, so he understands how to build products that can work for a mainstream audience of creators, not just developers.

On this episode Max talks with Tor about why he started Cent, how his team has chosen what parts of the product to decentralize, why he believes art and artists will proliferate on the Cent platform, and whether he sees Facebook as a competitor — or as a danger to society.

Episode 1 of Sharing Secrets is an interview with Guy Zyskind, CEO of Enigma. Tor asks Guy: Why is privacy important to him? What has he learned in the past few years of developing secret contracts? How does he feel now that they're finally launching to mainnet? What does he think of DeFi? And where does he see Secret Network playing a huge role in both our present and our future?

Sharing Secrets - a new series from the Secret Foundation - explores the biggest secrets of the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. Featuring everything from interviews, to monologues, to special guests, to technical explainers, to surprises, and beyond.

The Secret Foundation is a key organization in the Secret Network ecosystem. It is dedicated to building, researching, and scaling adoption of open-source, privacy-centric technologies and networks. Its guiding values are Usability, Sustainability, Impact, and Empowerment.

Secret Network is the first blockchain to allow privacy-preserving smart contracts.
