What we have been up to the past 2 weeks
- Co-hosted, along with crypto outlet The Block, an event on the sidelines of NY Blockchain Week called Atomic Swap, of which Decred was a sponsor (you can find pics on Twitter if you search the hashtag #atomicswapnyc). The event was a huge success, with 200+ people attending, including journalists from Bloomberg, Fortune, The Block, Bitcoin Magazine, etc. Decred was a lead sponsor of Atomic Swap, which many said was “the best event at Blockchain Week,” and Jake Yocom-Piatt spoke on a panel about decentralization with DASH, Beam, and Orbs. Decred tote bags and t-shirts were handed out to attendees, who were crypto influencers, media, investors, and enthusiasts.
- Set up in-person meetings for Jake Yocom-Piatt and Murad Mahmudov with reporters from BTC Manager, The Information, and Bitcoin Magazine. Jake and Murad complement each other well in interviews. Jake provides background and detail on Decred, while Murad offers broader context on crypto finance and an investor perspective. The Information quoted Jake in a story about the launch of Spedn: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/can-crypto-crack-the-retail-market
- Team Ditto meet several Decred community members in person during NYBW, including akinsawyerr , anshawblack , jholdstock , lukebp , jy-p , jz , Dustorf
- Ditto's CEO Trey and I live-streamed the Decred Reddit AMA on YouTube and fielded questions from Matrix for a full hour. If you missed it live, you can find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8XjAOMX-VM. Also, if you’d like to see the Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/decred/comments/bm9as0/ama_livestream_with_liz_and_trey_from_ditto_pr/. We answered the community’s questions about Ditto’s first 6-month engagement, which ends this month. We’ll be submitting a new proposal to Politeia sometime next week, so be on the look-out!
- Secured a mention of Decred in BTCManager. Also, check out the graphic! https://btcmanager.com/blockchains-neglect-social-contracts-will-likely-fail/
- Secured a speaking slot for jy-p about decentralization and Decred’s funding mechanism at the Voice of Blockchain, an event that will take place in Chicago this fall.
