    PSLF Program Eliminated $51 Billion In Student Debt For Public & NPO   As reported by Philanthropy.com, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, initiated in 2007, was designed to alleviate student debts for those dedicating a decade to nonprofits or government roles. However, the program was largely unknown and challenging to secure until recent rule changes and promotion. The Biden administration's reforms in October 2021 breathed new life into the program, erasing an astounding $51 billion in student debt for over 700,000 public service workers. Yet, only about 15% of the 9 million eligible workers have applied. Despite earlier bureaucratic challenges and a high rejection rate, recent changes like loan consolidation and credit for past payments have transformed the lives of many by freeing them from significant student debt. As the cost of higher education skyrockets, nonprofit organizations should be actively promoting this program both to its employees as well as future employees.     Read more ➝   Summary Nonprofit Funded by Crypto Billionaire McCaleb Buys $500 Million in Nvidia Chips for AI Computing | Reuters A new nonprofit called Voltage Park, funded by cryptocurrency billionaire Jed McCaleb, has purchased $500 million worth of advanced AI chips from Nvidia. Voltage Park plans to set up AI computing clusters in multiple data centers and lease capacity to companies for artificial intelligence projects. This comes as demand for AI hardware has surged following the release of chatbot ChatGPT, with chip shortages plaguing businesses. By providing low-cost access to powerful Nvidia H100 chips, Voltage Park aims to make AI computing more accessible. The tax-exempt nonprofit is a subsidiary of McCaleb's Navigation Fund, meaning any profits will be donated to the philanthropic fund.   St. Louis nonprofit director stole millions from child nutrition program, feds say | STLtoday.com The former head of a St. Louis nonprofit has been charged with fraudulently spending $20 million in federal child nutrition funds on luxury homes and goods. Connie Bobo of New Heights Community Resource Center allegedly falsified records to net $11 million in bogus meal reimbursements. If convicted on the wire fraud, identity theft and obstruction charges, Bobo faces up to 22 years in prison and forfeiture of illicit purchases. The indictment follows reporting on questionable practices by Missouri nonprofits administering pandemic aid, as authorities crack down on abuse of the loosened oversight.     Nature Conservancy Bets on Startups to Boost Climate Mission and Returns |FastCompany The Nature Conservancy is now investing part of its $3 billion endowment directly into climate tech startups, leveraging its scientific expertise to support companies like Overstory and Yard Stick. The nonprofit sees an opportunity to back high-impact startups aligned with its conservation mission that also have potential for strong financial returns. Direct investing represents a shift beyond TNC's past practice of relying on outside managers and index funds for its endowment. The approach shows how nonprofits with sizable endowments could strategically deploy capital to advance their mission as well as financial goals.

Bitcoin-millardæren Jed McCaleb har lansert Haven-1, en romstasjon som skal opp med Falcon 9 i 2025 og tilby 30 dager lange opphold for forskere og romturister. Utgangspunktet er nøkternt: Kjent teknologi og alt betalt av McCaleb selv. Så... tar det litt av. Om ti år skal kjempestasjoner sendt opp med Starship spinne rundt Jorda, på 2040-tallet skal de sendes ut i hele Solsystemet. McCaleb vil bosette 232 billioner mennesker i rommet, og plutselig virker Musks millionby på Mars ganske stusselig.

Vast, a private space station company, has announced its plans to launch a commercial space station called "Haven-1" as soon as August 2025. The company aims to send four commercial astronauts on board SpaceX's Crew Dragon vehicle to the station, where they will spend 30 days before returning to Earth. Excitingly, the crewed seats are now up for sale for those who wish to experience the thrill of space travel. Meanwhile, Microsoft's Bing search engine is on a mission to dethrone Google as the default search engine for browsers such as Firefox and Apple's Safari. Will they succeed?

Retenez-bien le nom de Vast. Cette entreprise spécialisée dans les stations spatiales sera sans doute celle qui créera la première station spatiale commerciale de l'histoire sur laquelle n'importe quel humain pourra s'y rendre, et ce, dès août 2025… pour peu que l'on soit fortuné, cela va sans dire. Cette station spatiale artificielle nommée Haven-1, devrait mesurer 100 mètres de long et être équipée d'une gravité artificielle générée par sa rotation.Concrètement, la station est conçue pour fonctionner de manière autonome, mais sera connectée plus tard à d'autres modules pour l'agrandir et former une station Vast encore plus grande. Ceci dit, on ne transporte pas station spatiale comme on enverrait un satellite en orbite. Et bien figurez-vous que cette première station est suffisamment petite pour être acheminée dans l'espace via une fusée Falcon 9 de SpaceX, et pourra accueillir jusqu'à quatre membres d'équipage en même temps dans un premier temps. Selon les plans de l'entreprise, une fusée Falcon 9 placera la plateforme en orbite basse, puis une future mission le Crew Dragon pour y transporter quatre personnes pour une durée maximale de 30 jours. À noter que Vast accepte déjà des réservations pour des équipages intéressés par des travaux scientifiques ou philanthropiques en 2025. Une deuxième mission est d'ailleurs déjà prévue pour 2026.Derrière ce projet, on retrouve Jed McCaleb, un magnat des cryptomonnaies. Dans un communiqué le milliardaire explique que l'entreprise est je cite « enthousiaste de lancer la première station spatiale commerciale au monde, ainsi que sa première équipe » fin de citation. Pour l'instant, McCaleb a investi 300 millions de dollars de ses propres fonds dans cette initiative et n'a pas l'intention de rechercher des investissements extérieurs pour Vast tant que celle-ci ne pourra pas générer de revenus. D'autres entreprises, dont certaines bénéficient du soutien de la NASA, travaillent également sur la mise en place de stations spatiales privées. À voir laquelle de tous ses projets de stations remplacera la seule et unique station spatiale internationale actuellement en orbite. Hébergé par Acast.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: We have to Upgrade, published by Jed McCaleb on March 23, 2023 on LessWrong. I want to bring up a point that I almost never hear talked about in AGI discussions. But to me feels like the only route for humans to have a good future. I'm putting this out for people that already largely share my view on the trajectory of AGI. If you don't agree with the main premises but are interested, there are lots of other posts that go into why these might be true. A) AGI seems inevitable. B) Seems impossible that humans (as they are now) don't lose control soon after AGI. All the arguments for us retaining control don't seem to understand that AI isn't just another tool. I haven't seen any that grapple with what it really means for a machine to be intelligent. C) It seems very hard that AGI will be aligned with what humans care about. These systems are just so alien. Maybe we can align it for a little bit but it will be unstable. Very hard to see how alignment is maintained with a thing that is way smarter than us and is evolving on its own. D) Even if I'm wrong about B or C, humans are not intelligent/wise enough to deal with our current technology level, much less super powerful AI. Let's say we manage this incredibly difficult task of aligning or controlling AI to humans' will. There are many amazing humans but also many many awful ones. The awful ones will continue to do awful things with way more leverage. This scenario seems pretty disastrous to me. We don't want super powerful humans without an increase in wisdom. To me the conclusion from A+B+C+D is: There is no good outcome (for us) without humans themselves also becoming super intelligent. So I believe our goal should be to ensure humans are in control long enough to augment our mind with extra capability. (or upload but that seems further off) I'm not sure how this will work but I feel like the things that neuralink or science.xyz are doing, developing brain computer interfaces, are steps in that direction. We also need to figure out scalable technological ways to work on trauma/psychology/fulfilling needs/reducing fears. Humans will somehow have to connect with machines to become much wiser, much more intelligent, and much more enlightened. Maybe we can become something like the amygdala of the neo-neo-cortex. There are two important timelines in competition here, length of time till we can upgrade, and length of time we can maintain control. We need to upgrade before we lose control. Unfortunately, in my view, on the current trajectory we will lose control before we are able to upgrade. I think we must work to make sure this isn't the case. Time Till Upgrade: My current estimate is ~15 years. (very big error bars here) Ways to shorten AI that helps people do this science AGI that is good at science and is aligned long enough to help us on this More people doing this kind of research More funding More status to this kind of research Maybe better interfaces to the current models will help in the short run and make people more productive thus speeding this development Time Left With Control: My current estimate is ~6 years AGI ~3-4 years (less big error bars) Loss of control 2-3 years after AGI (pretty big error bars) Ways it could be longer? AI research slows down Hope for safety Hope we aren't as close as it seems Hope for a slowness to implement agentic behavior Competing Agents Alignment is pretty good and defense is easier than offense In short, one of the most underrepresented ways to work on AI safety is to work on BCI. The only way forward is through! Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: My AGI safety research—2022 review, '23 plans, published by Steven Byrnes on December 14, 2022 on LessWrong. The short version: In this post I'm briefly summarizing how I spent my work-time in 2022, and what I'm planning for 2023. The first half of 2022 was writing the “Intro to Brain-Like-AGI Safety” blog post series. The second half of 2022 was split maybe 45%-45%-10% between my main research project (on reverse-engineering human social instincts), miscellaneous other research and correspondence, and outreach mostly targeted towards neuroscientists. I expect to carry on with a similar time allocation into 2023. If you think there are other things I should be doing instead or differently, please don't be shy, the comment section is below, or DM me, email, etc. The long version: 1. First half of 2022: Writing “Intro to Brain-Like AGI Safety” So, I was writing some technical post in late 2021, and realized that the thing I was talking about was a detail sitting on top of a giant pile of idiosyncratic beliefs and terminology that nobody else would understand. So I started writing a background section to that post. That background section grew and grew and grew, and eventually turned into a book-length series of 15 blog posts entitled “Intro to Brain-Like AGI Safety”, which reorganized and re-explained almost everything I had written and thought about up to that point, since I started in the field around 2019. (My palimpsest!) Writing that series took up pretty much 100% of my work time until May 2022. Then I spent much of the late spring and summer catching up on lots of miscellaneous to-do-list stuff that I had put off while writing the series, and everyone in my family caught COVID, and we took a family vacation, and I attended two conferences, and I switched jobs when Jed McCaleb generously offered me a home at Astera Institute, and various other things. So I didn't get much research done during the late spring and summer. Moving on to the rest of the year, my substantive work time has been divided, I dunno, something like 45%-45%-10% between “my main research project”, “other research”, and “outreach”. Let's take those one at a time in the next three sections. 2. Second half of 2022 (1/3): My main research project 2.1 What's the project? I'm working on the open neuroscience problem that I described in the post Symbol Grounding and Human Social Instincts, and motivated in the post Two paths forward: “Controlled AGI” and “Social-instinct AGI”. I'll give an abbreviated version here. As discussed in “Intro to Brain-Like-AGI Safety”, I hold the following opinions: We should think of within-lifetime learning in the human brain as a kind of model-based reinforcement learning (RL) system; We should think of that model-based RL system as potentially similar to how future AGIs will work; We should (to a first approximation) think of the “reward function” of that RL system as encoding “innate drives”, like pain being bad and sweet tastes being good; These “innate drives” correspond to specific genetically-hardwired circuitry primarily in the hypothalamus and brainstem; A subset of that circuitry underlies human social and moral instincts; .And the project I'm working on is an attempt to figure out what those circuits are and how they work. 2.2 Why do I think success on this project would be helpful for AGI safety? I have two arguments: The modest argument is: At some point, I hope, we will have a science that can produce predictions of the form: (“Innate drives” a.k.a. “Reward function” X) + (“Life experience” a.k.a. “Training environment” Y) (“Adult” AGI that's trying to do Z) If we knew exactly what innate drives are in humans (particularly related to sociality, morality, etc.), then we would have actual examples of X+YZ to ground this future science. Even with the benefit...

Link to original articleWelcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: My AGI safety research—2022 review, '23 plans, published by Steven Byrnes on December 14, 2022 on LessWrong. The short version: In this post I'm briefly summarizing how I spent my work-time in 2022, and what I'm planning for 2023. The first half of 2022 was writing the “Intro to Brain-Like-AGI Safety” blog post series. The second half of 2022 was split maybe 45%-45%-10% between my main research project (on reverse-engineering human social instincts), miscellaneous other research and correspondence, and outreach mostly targeted towards neuroscientists. I expect to carry on with a similar time allocation into 2023. If you think there are other things I should be doing instead or differently, please don't be shy, the comment section is below, or DM me, email, etc. The long version: 1.

Elon Musk announced plans to create an everything app using Twitter as the foundation. The new app would include payments. Will be use $XLM on the platform? The connections between Musk & Stellar founder Jed McCaleb run deep.

Research is behind bars: paywalls and a closed peer-review process. You pay both to publish and to read published works. A small fraction of scientists are involved in peer review, creating a bottleneck and limiting the range of expertise that can improve rigor. Finally, publishing takes a long time, with the rapidly growing body of scientific literature needing to get through the peer-review bottleneck, stifling the innovative process of scientific discovery and application. Arcadia Science is using an open-science platform to encourage innovation and creative experimentation by reimagining what publishing science could be like – and they're looking for people like you to rethink how you share your science in ways that are more rapid, rigorous, useful, and open. While their research sharing site displays the science coming from Arcadia, it is built upon an open-source platform, PubPub, that is accessible to all. On PubPub, other communities can publish discoverable and citable scientific information in useful ways – whether that be a method, data set, or synthesis of varied data more similar to research articles. Publishing early and often is encouraged to speed up the process of innovation. Who decides the utility and rigour of the work? Without a paywall and with the ability to openly engage, scientists with diverse expertise everywhere can use the information and comment publicly about their thoughts on its utility and rigour. Arcadia Science feels like a scientific social media. The co-founders Seemay Chou, Jed McCaleb and Prachee Avasthi are building an ecosystem to help scientists reimagine how we can make the publishing, researching and funding of science better.

The craziest crypto scams and hacks: Part 1: How Mt. Gox lost $50bn in a Bitcoin hack Welcome to the cryptohunt jam where we spend one minute a day to explain crypto. In plain english. This week we will take a look at the fascinating stories behind some of the largest crypto hacks and scams. Today, let's talk about one of the craziest of them all: How Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox lost almost 7% of all Bitcoins, which would be over $54 billion US dollars today. It all started harmlessly. In 2006, Jed McCaleb, who later become the cofounder of both Ripple and Stellar, created a website to exchange online fantasy game cards. He called it Mt. Gox. The project never went anywhere, but after getting interested in Bitcoin in 2010, he repurposed the domain and created one of the first crypto exchanges, allowing users to buy and sell Bitcoin online. McCaleb soon sold the site, citing a lack of time to make it better. The new owner, a french developer by the name of Mark Karpelès, saw the potential and quickly turned it into the largest Bitcoin exchange in the world. At one point, a whopping 70% of all Bitcoins changed hands through Mt. Gox. And that's where the troubles started. One security breach after the next eventually forced Mt. Gox out of business in 2014, and the system was so vulnerable, that the company lost 850,000 (!) Bitcoins in total. Many users never got their money back, and Karpelès was found guilty on several charges in Japan, where Mt. Gox operated. So, what was the problem and could this happen again? For the most part, Mt. Gox held all funds in so-called hot wallets. Those wallets are connected to the internet and therefore more accessible by hackers. And while hackers are of course still a concern, nowadays many exchanges like Coinbase are holding over 90% of all funds in cold wallets to minimize your risk. But it is still a good reminder: always consider who you trust with the keys to your holdings! And next time – how investors lost $4 billion on a coin that didn't even exist.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: We are giving $10k as forecasting micro-grants, published by Misha Yagudin on February 8, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. (Cross-posted from the Forecasting Newsletter.) After the apparent success of ACX grants (a), we received $10k from an anonymous donor to give out as micro-grants through Nuño's Forecasting newsletter. Some examples of projects we'd be excited to fund might be: Open-source software and tooling to automate forecasting. Bonus points if Metaculus users or other forecasters start using it. Giving a shot at forecasting or making models of a difficult yet useful and decision-relevant area. Think of Rootclaim (a) analyzing the lab-escape story of Omicron. Pieces similar in quality to the ones mentioned in "best pieces on forecasting from 2021 (a)”, in Forecasting Prize Results (a), or in some possible research areas (a). Trying to estimate many uncertain parameters, e.g., the quality of all US or UN organizations, quality of academic fields, whether a large list of organizations will fail, enlightened willingness to pay for many products, the accuracy of many public figures, etc. Create a microcovid (a) or foodimpacts (a) but for other areas, like micro-marriages, micro-insights, micro-dooms, etc. Do this in a way that easily allows the creation of many of these calculators. Improve metaforecast (a) (which is open source (a)) in some interesting way, e.g., improve the estimates of forecast quality. The application form is HERE (a). Feel free to apply for more than $10k: we don't anticipate having much difficulty getting more funding for promising applications, and we may refer these to other funders (e.g., the EA Infrastructure Fund (a)) if we can't. We will be accepting applications until March 15, though we may extend this period if we don't receive enough high-quality submissions. We preliminarily plan to make decisions by April the 1st. Otherwise, Luke Muehlhauser comments (a) that forecasting related projects might be a good fit for the EA Infrastructure Fund (a). Jonas Vollmer, who runs EA Funds, confirms this (a) For larger projects, the Survival and Flourishing Fund, backed by philanthropists Jaan Tallinn and Jed McCaleb, is organizing the distribution of around $6M-$10M in grants (a) this June, with applications due on Feb 21. They generally only accept applications from registered charities, but speculation grants (a) might be a good fit for smaller projects (40%). Thanks for listening.

We close out Season 8 with the most ambitious organization we've ever covered on Acquired: Ethereum, and it's celebrity wunderkind founder Vitalik Buterin. If you thought Mark Zuckerberg IPO-ing Facebook at $100B by age 27 was something, just wait until you hear the story of this high school junior creating $500B (!!) of market cap by the same age — and oh yeah, maybe seeding the future dethroning of Facebook, Google, Amazon and all of big tech in the process. Regardless whether you're a crypto neophyte, a die-hard bull, or a skeptical bear, this is a story you need to hear, and Ethereum is an innovation you need to understand. Buckle in for a wild ride... and some special surprises from a few Acquired friends. :) If you love Acquired and want more, join our LP Community for access to over 50 LP-only episodes, monthly Zoom calls, and live access for big events like emergency pods and book club discussions with authors.

We are back, a week late but back.This week we talk about NFT, Bitcoin crashing, Jed McCaleb, Ripple and the SEC lawsuit. We also go into Bad Bunny winning the Wrestlemania and his new tour. New movies coming out and the controversy of Lil Nas X and the Nike sneaker.

Mike Kennedy co-founded Zelle, the largest peer-to-peer payment mobile app backed by the biggest banks in the U.S. and now is the new CEO of Velo which uses the Stellar blockchain to power what he plans to be the largest payment system in the World. Listen as he shares his journey into crypto, from working with Stellar founder Jed Mccaleb as an advisor to the Stellar Development Foundation to running Interstellar ( a for profit arm of the SDF) to finally leading Velo. Singapore-based fintech company Lightnet Pte. Ltd. earlier this year entered into a strategic partnership with, among others, Malaysia-based Asia Digital Bank Ltd. (Labuan Investment Bank), and British Virgin Island-based Velo Labs Technology Ltd. to jointly develop cross-border business solutions.

Denelle Dixon is the CEO and executive director of the Stellar Development Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports the growth and development of Stellar, an open-source blockchain network for money transfers from digital currency to fiat, which allows cross-border transactions between any pair of currencies. The SDF was founded in 2014 by Jed McCaleb and Joyce Kim, and it has since partnered with global firms such as IBM and Franklin Templeton. The Stellar network aims to achieve “global financial inclusion” through blockchain technology. In this candid interview we take a journey with Denelle from her early days as a Clerk at the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii to defending privacy on the Ted Talk stage. Denelle is an incredible and dynamic individual that will be one of the biggest names you'll need to know in Blockchain.

Stellar (XLM) Stellar is an open blockchain network designed to provide enterprise solutions by connecting financial institutions for the purpose of large transactions. Huge transactions between banks and investment firms that typically would take several days, a number of intermediaries, and cost a good deal of money, can now be done nearly instantaneously with no intermediaries and cost little to nothing for those making the transaction. While Stellar has positioned itself as an enterprise blockchain for institutional transactions, it is still an open blockchain that can be used by anyone. The system allows for cross-border transactions between any currencies. Stellar's native currency is Lumens (XLM). The network requires users to hold Lumens to be able to transact on the network. Stellar was founded by Jed McCaleb, a founding member of Ripple Labs and developer of the Ripple protocol. He eventually left his role with Ripple and went on to co-found the Stellar Development Foundation. Stellar Lumens have a market capitalization of $6.1 billion and are valued at $0.27 as of January 2021. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Bitcoin cash (BCH) holds an important place in the history of altcoins because it is one of the earliest and most successful hard forks of the original Bitcoin. In the cryptocurrency world, a fork takes place as the result of debates and arguments between developers and miners. Due to the decentralized nature of digital currencies, wholesale changes to the code underlying the token or coin at hand must be made due to general consensus; the mechanism for this process varies according to the particular cryptocurrency. When different factions can't come to an agreement, sometimes the digital currency is split, with the original chain remaining true to its original code and the new chain beginning life as a new version of the prior coin, complete with changes to its code. BCH began its life in August of 2017 as a result of one of these splits. The debate that led to the creation of BCH had to do with the issue of scalability; the Bitcoin network has a limit on the size of blocks: one megabyte (MB). BCH increases the block size from one MB to eight MB, with the idea being that larger blocks can hold more transactions within them, and therefore the transaction speed would be increased. It also makes other changes, including the removal of the Segregated Witness protocol which impacts block space. As of January 2021, BCH had a market cap of $8.9 billion and a value per token of $513.45. Litecoin (LTC) Litecoin, launched in 2011, was among the first cryptocurrencies to follow in the footsteps of Bitcoin and has often been referred to as “silver to Bitcoin's gold.” It was created by Charlie Lee, an MIT graduate and former Google engineer. Litecoin is based on an open-source global payment network that is not controlled by any central authority and uses "scrypt" as a proof of work, which can be decoded with the help of CPUs of consumer-grade. Although Litecoin is like Bitcoin in many ways, it has a faster block generation rate and hence offers a faster transaction confirmation time. Other than developers, there are a growing number of merchants who accept Litecoin. As of January 2021, Litecoin had a market cap of $10.1 billion and a per token value of $153.88, making it the sixth-largest cryptocurrency in the world.

Jed McCaleb is the co-founder and the CTO of Stellar. Prior to co-founding Stellar, McCaleb founded and served as the CTO of the company Ripple until 2013. McCaleb is also known for creating the infamous Mt. Gox. In this conversation, we discuss payment technologies, how Stellar works, the STABLE Act, financial inclusion, and the future of money. ======================= Smart investors know being early is critical to success in crypto.

Jed McCaleb is the co-founder and Chief Architect of the Stellar Development Foundation, an open network working to connect the world's financial infrastructure. In 2014, Jed created Stellar, an open-source blockchain network designed to democratize economic participation by making money more fluid, markets more open, and people more empowered.  Why you should listen: Jed's history is the story of crypto itself. An early pioneer of decentralized systems, he created eDonkey2000 one of the first file-sharing networks.  In July 2010, after reading about Bitcoin on Slashdot he became fascinated and founded the mtgox.com Bitcoin exchange.  "I wanted to get some Bitcoin and the only way you could do that at the time was to mine it or go on internet forums. So I started the Gox exchange so I could learn more about Bitcoin as a system, and buy bitcoins. It was something that was needed by the community at the time and I knew it could build it so I did. I didn't run it for very long before Mark Karpeles took over and everyone knows what happened after that.” In 2011 McCaleb founded the crypto asset company Ripple and served as CTO until 2013. McCaleb then parted ways with Ripple but as part of a settlement, he was granted a large amount of XRP tokens. At the height of the January 2018 altcoin boom, McCaleb was briefly the 40th wealthiest person on the planet based on the value of his XRP tokens. McCaleb founded Ripple and then Stellar to try and improve on the promise of Bitcoin. “Bitcoin is an awesome idea,” says McCaleb, “But software is iterative and can always be improved. One of the things that bothered me about Bitcoin is the mining aspect. There are literally billions of dollars spent on mining which is a shame. I thought if there is another way we can solve the consensus problem, then we should explore it. So with Ripple and now Stellar, this is a way to solve consensus without the proof-of-work mining process so transactions can be sent in a much cheaper, faster, more energy-efficient way." Key takeaway: McCaleb says the current financial system is clunky and inefficient. “The problem with the way that money moves around the planet, is that the rails were built pre-internet so none of it was designed to interoperate. And the beauty of the internet is that with email, for example, it doesn't matter who runs your email server, they all speak the same language so you can seamlessly and instantly send an email to anyone in the world. There is really no reason why money can't work the same way. That's what Stellar is, it is an interoperable payment protocol between payment networks.   McCaleb says that Stellar is intended to enhance rather than replace the existing financial system. Whereas, say, the Bitcoin network was made for trading only bitcoins, Stellar is a decentralized system that's built for trading any kind of money in a transparent and efficient way. “Stellar is designed as an upgrade to the existing financial structure,” says McCaleb. “It will be a long time, if ever before everyone is using one cryptocurrency. So instead, the better route is to build something that makes the current system easier, cheaper, reduces friction, and enables value transfer between people that wasn't possible before. Once we connect these networks of information in a frictionless way that will allow people to build all these interesting things on top of the network. Once you can send 10 cents from the U.S. to Vietnam, with no problem, that's when innovation happens. Right now we're building the plumbing for everything to be built on top of.” Supporting links: Stellar Stellar Meridian Conference The Three-Body Problem Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.

Jed and Denelle join us for a full review of Stellar; an open-source payments network that serves as a distributed intermediary blockchain for global financial systems and circulates a native asset, Stellar Lumens (XLM). Before co-founding Stellar, Jed also co-found Ripple -- he has been an integral part of Digital Assets for nearly a decade. Before joining Stellar's Foundation, Denelle spent 8 years at Mozilla and has years of experience in the legal and regulatory landscape. We had a detailed conversation about Stellar and Lumens role in an evolving Digital Asset ecosystem, including how the asset was built to assist in the creation of synthetics and compostable digital assets.

Helghardt and his team then got building on "REHIVE", a white-label software development platform for the FinTech industry. Think "Shopify for FinTech". This interview will inspire you!

Welcome to the second episode of IBM Blockchain Pulse — the podcast that explores different blockchain use cases with leaders in the space! In this week’s episode, your host, Matt Hooper, is joined by two leaders — Jesse Lund and Jed McCaleb — to discuss cross-border payments. Their conversation today is all about financial transactions — making them frictionless, seamless, and available for everyone. Jed McCaleb is the co-founder and CTO of Stellar.org — a platform that connects banks, payment systems, and people. Their goal is to make money move around the world the way information does, post-internet. Jesse Lund is the Head of Blockchain Solutions for Financial Services at IBM. Currently, he and his team are trying to commercialize all the good that Jed is doing with Stellar by helping bring commercial and cross-border payments to the world using the Stellar protocol. Today’s interview is incredibly illuminating. They discuss the origin of the collaboration between Stellar and IBM, what they’re currently working on together, their goals and plans for 2019 and beyond, their thoughts on public vs. private blockchain networks, and much, much more.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About today’s episode! [2:52] Jed and Jesse introduce themselves and explain what each of them does in the space. [4:08] Jed’s background and motivation to creating Stellar. [5:58] The commercialization that Jesse and his team are working on. [8:08] How Stellar is defining their protocol. [9:44] When will decentralized application layers (DApps) take off? [12:00] As someone who started a .org, did Jed think that one day he’d be facing this sort of customer base that is so commercially-focused on the opportunities for blockchain? [14:45] How did this collaboration between IBM and Stellar come about? [18:52] What was the white space that Jesse and Jed saw with regard to cross-border transactions that allowed it to be the first use case to test? [22:02] Jed’s experience working with IBM and how he has found the collaboration between the two. [24:13] Jesse’s theoretical pitch to entrepreneurs (like Stellar) to work with IBM. [26:50] Stellar’s role in economic advantages and incentivization for those who might otherwise be left out of the system as it stands made possible by the power of blockchain. [28:06] Check out IBM Blockchain World Wire to learn more about World Wire and what Jesse and Jed are talking about on today’s episode! [29:15] The web and its many applications have allowed for a handful of companies to become some of the most powerful ones out there when it comes to controlling people’s digital identities and the way information works. Some would argue that this means that the internet has not lived up to its original promise of being inclusive for everyone. As Jesse and Jed are building new platforms, tools, and applications, is the current situation of the web and the world something they think about and design for? [33:23] Jed explains what happened in Q4 2018 with the creation of Interstellar. [34:33] What excites Jed and Jesse in this collaboration, some of the great results they’ve seen this past year, and the latest news about JPMorgan Chase. [37:00] Is there a need for banks in the next few years? What will a bank look like in 10 years? [39:33] What does 2019 look like for the collaboration between Stellar and IBM — both technically and philosophically? [41:15] Jed gives his take on the public/private network shift with blockchain in the corporate space. [42:55] The exciting news IBM has planned for 2019: the launch of the World Wire network! [44:05] Matt thanks Jed and Jesse for joining him this podcast!   Sources Mentioned: Stellar IBM Blockchain World Wire Decentralized Application (DApp) Venmo Apple Pay Cash Interstellar JPMorgan Announces USD Stable Coin   Follow-up with Our Guests: Jesse Lund Jed McCaleb’s Profile on Stellar   Looking for More Episodes?

Interview location: SkypeInterview date: Friday 22nd Feb, 2019Company: Mt. Gox LegalRole: Creator and Elected AdministratorThe Mt. Gox story is incredibly complicated. The first Bitcoin exchange, created at a time when people would buy Bitcoin through eBay or forum discussions, and payment was sent with trust. When it launched it, Bitcoin was trading at $0.06, and within six months Jed McCaleb had passed it onto Mark Karpelès.Three years after the sale the exchange collapsed when a suspected 850,000 Bitcoins were stolen. Since then the story has unravelled but remains complex, both in finding the truth and resolving what should happen to the remaining Bitcoin.From the Jed to Mark and what happened with the sale and handover; with Coinlab and Brock Pierce’s claims; with the creditors, the lawyers and the Japanese legal system, finding the truth of what happened and what should happen is highly complex.In this final interview in my series covering Mt. Gox, I talk to the journalist, Mt. Gox creditor and the creator and elected administrator of Mt. Gox Legal, Andy Pag. We reflect on my interviews and discuss the parties involved, the history of what happened between Jed and Mark, the claims by CoinLab and Brock Pierce and how this may all be resolved.-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

Jed McCaleb is a cryptocurrency legend. He's been involved in some of the most high profile organizations in crypto including Mt. Gox, Ripple, and now his current rocket ship, Stellar.org. But the journey from Little Rock, Arkansas to number 40 in the Forbes rich list has not been a smooth ride. He struggled his whole life with trying to find a balance between wanting to do something huge and wanting to just go chill at the beach and surf. Luckily for the rest of us, he opted to work hard to affect a lot of change in the world. Having dropped out of UC Berkeley after just one and half semesters, realising that he could already do what he wanted to do, programming, it still took him nearly four years in the wilderness, building stuff and floundering in the dark, before he started up e-donkey. And the rest, is history. Join us today as we follow Jed’s journey from e-donkey to Stellar.org and listen as we talk about: Why he’s better suited as CTO, not CEO His childhood growing up in the woods with no running water or electricity The basics of cryptocurrency (it’s mum-friendly don’t worry) Why he picked the name e-donkey for his company The time he built a butanol lab in his girlfriend’s apartment How Mt. Gox was originally started as an online trading exchange for Magic: The Gathering The future of bitcoin Why even as an incredibly successful entrepreneur he still struggled to get Stellar.org off the ground His best piece of advice for entrepreneurs Links: stellar.org For more go to secretleaders.com

What is Stellar? Stellar is an open source protocol for exchanging money. It is a decentralized peer-peer cryptoc8urrency. Stellar focuses on payments between merchants and people. Stellar was founded in 2014 by Jed McCaleb. Why is Stellar trending right now? Stellar has been in the spotlight recently following a couple of big announcement including hiring a new CEO, several partnerships, and new services. What is “World Wire”? World Wire is a blockchain based payments system using the Stellar network to settle and clear payments across global borders, using XLM as its native currency. It is active in 72 countries around the world. World Wire aims to innovate the banking sector and allow banks to use its existing blockchain to provide services for customers without creating their own blockchain. Also, it can provide these services for a very low fee. Key Partnerships IBM - Stellar has partnered with IBM for several years and they are working together to create innovative banking solutions, such as World Wire which was released last September. They have partnered with 6 major financial institutions to use their World Wire platform for new banking services. Deloitte - A micropayment system that decreases the cost of smaller transfers and offers incremental payment options to customers. Tempo - A remittance network designed to allow people to send money to different countries quickly, for a fraction of a cent. Facilitate low-cost payments between different currencies. Thune / Western Union. Thunes and Western Union formed a partnership to upgrade their cross border payment system. Thune has partnered with Stellar since 2018, thus making them a trio of partners. Strong Leadership Stellar hired Denelle Dixon who was the COO at Mozilla. This is a solid hire as Mozilla has been one of the leading global companies in software and internet development. Arms race in the blockchain baking sector? With Stellars new services and partnerships, JP Morgan’s stable coin, Ripple, Telcoin, and other blockchain projects, it appears there is an all out race to develop new technologies to improve banking. Is it that banks are realizing their current services are dated and losing an edge to developing technologies?

Michael takes down Peter McCormack. JJ and Michael defend Brock?! OK, maybe we don't defend him. Michael defends Jed McCaleb. Damn, how many micks are involved in crypto!?

Interview location: SkypeInterview date: Wednesday 20th Feb, 2019Company: WizSecRole: Chief EngineerMark Karpeles has had many accusations thrown at his since the collapse of Mt. Gox, including being the architect of the theft himself. Many people were angry with him at the time, and many still are, but as more information surfaces about the history of the exchange, a different picture has emerged.Indeed, Mark made mistakes which cost users of the website hundreds of millions of dollars but is everything attributable to him. Kim Nilsson’s investigation into the chain of events surrounding the collapse of Mt. Gox highlights that Mark likely inherited an insolvent exchange and was unable to cope with the challenges of a rapidly expanding business under constant attack.In this interview, I talk to Kim about his report, his opinions on the numerous hacks during the history of Mt. Gox and his views on Mark, Jed McCaleb, Brock Pierce and Peter Vessenes.-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

Interview location: SkypeInterview date: Tuesday 12th Feb, 2019Company: Chief Strategy OfficerRole: OceanExThe victims of Mt. Gox are the creditors, those who lost their Bitcoin when the company entered into bankruptcy arrangements. For years they have battled for a fair civil rehabilitation plan and suffered delay after delay.Under Japanese law, the creditors were due the Yen value off their holding at the date of bankruptcy, to be paid out from the 200,000 Bitcoins which were found by Mark Karpeles after first suspecting all the Bitcoin were gone.The process of rehabilitation has been held up by the lawsuit from Peter Vessenes from Coinlab, and during the wait, the price of Bitcoin has risen sharply. Under Japanese law, after creditors have been paid, the remaining value in the company is due to the shareholders, this being Mark Karpeles (88%) and Jed McCaleb (12%), which would have made Mark a billionaire.To their credit, neither Mark nor Jed wants to receive this money, and the creditors have fought to have the remaining Bitcoin redistributed to them. In this interview, I walk with the lawyer, Daniel Kelman, the architect of the civil rehabilitation plan for Mt.Gox creditors. We discuss this as well as the claims from Brock Pierce and Peter Vessenes.-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

Interview location: TokyoInterview date: Saturday 16th Feb, 2019Company: Mt. GoxRole: CEOThe shadow of Mt. Gox still hangs over Bitcoin some five years after it collapsed. At the time it held 7% of all Bitcoin in circulation and was the primary exchange for Bitcoin traders. It was reported that 850,000 Bitcoins had been stolen, of which 750,000 were customer coins and 100,000 were owned by Mt. Gox, though 200,000 were later found.In the five years since, more and more information, research and analysis has pointed at a chaotic operation with poor security procedures, yet opinions range. Some label Mark anything from incompetent to a straight up fraudster while others sympathise with the challenges faced by running the worlds first Bitcoin exchange.In this interview, I talk to Mark about the collapse of Mt. Gox, how he acquired it from Jed McCaleb, the process of civil rehabilitation and how Brock Pierce and Coinlab are holding up the distribution of funds to the creditors.-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

Gox suspended trading and filed for bankruptcy after approximately 850,000 Bitcoins were stolen, at the time, valued at more than $450m. At the time of its demise it was being run by Mark Karpelès who had acquired the site from Jed McCaleb in 2011.In this interview I talk to Jed about the creation of Mt.

Tammy Camp entered the crypto scene back in 2011 by joining Jed McCaleb on the Stellar project. She has enjoyed a phenomenally successful career and was also a previously a Partner at 500 Startups, but it's the future that she is building that really excites me. Here in 2018, Tammy is the founder and CEO of Stronghold, which is the first Silicon Valley venture-backed fintech startup on distributed ledger technology. The exciting company is also hitting the headlines for all the right reasons and is also working with IBM to create a new stablecoin built on Stellar. I invited Tammy onto the show today to learn more about her ambition of creating an amazing trading experience with Stronghold. We discuss how new features, flexibility, and a simple, safe trading experience are top of the agenda. Many will instantly think that Stellar and Stronghold are the perfect fit for each other. Tammy explains that like Stellar, they want to make sending money as easy as sending an email. Banking for the underbanked is another topic the team are passionate about, as well as helping contribute to Stellar’s growth. “We look forward to putting this funding to work to build a new financial ecosystem where institutions can seamlessly trade and manage assets on behalf of their clients.” Although we tackle the serious topics around creating new world solution built on trust and transparency, we also discuss her eclectic interests outside of crypto that has even resulted in a few breaking a few world records on occasion too. Today's tech podcast episode is a must listen for anyone passionate all curious about blockchain, crypto and the brave new world that is currently being built.

Lisa Nestor is Director of Partnerships at Stellar.org. In this episode we talk about Stellar as a platform for cross border transactions, their consensus model, what’s being built on the platform, and also the organisation’s origin story, founded by Jed McCaleb and Joyce Kim in 2014.

“For a truly decentralized payment platform, 5 seconds is just about the fastest out there. Buy Stellar.” - Dave Levine (click to tweet) Don’t overlook transaction speed. It’s the initial reason we all became interested in cryptocurrency. We heard it would solve the multi-day delays of PayPal and standard wire-transfer. But now, as the scene has grown with bells-and-whistles technologies, we’ve become distracted and forgotten about this core principle. Which crypto out there is the fastest? On today’s episode of The Bitcoin Crypto Mentor Mastermind show we are joined by Dave Levine to discuss why Stellar Lumens is a great long-term hold. With his personal business on autopilot making $14 million/year, Dave has committed his life to researching and understanding cryptocurrency. His insights will help propel us to make the $700,000 he’s made in the past year investing in cryptocurrency. Don’t forget! You can also listen to The Tai Lopez Show on Spotify! Click “Follow” and let me know what you think! “Research what IBM and Stellar Lumens are doing. It will be a network that’s integrated and grows around the world for years.” - Dave Levine (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Follow winners like Jed McCaleb and Warren Buffet For a truly decentralized payment platform, 5 second transaction speed is just about the fastest out there Transactions per day just shot up to 30,000 from consistent average of 10,000 Cost per transaction = $.00003 The reason there is a cost is to prevent spam IBM is using the Hyperledger blockchain platform for contracts Ripple forked to create Stellar Stellar is a rewrite of Ripple’s consensus algorithm  

Kevin's sits down w/ Stellar Founder, Jed McCaleb. Stellar is now the 8th largest cryptocurrency in the world. As a platform, Stellar connects banks, payments systems, and people. Integrate to move money quickly, reliably, and at almost no cost.

We talk EthLend, Cindicator, Bitcoin & Ethereum and discuss the Red Rain in the Market Cap. Main Topic: Stellar |VS| Ripple If Ripple is the Goldman Sachs of crypto, Stellar is its antagonist, Robin Hood, with the latter pointing out that the former is hanging onto to nearly 60% of the originally issued Ripple tokens. 60% is a towering percentage of founder ownership. Ripple consists of ex-bankers and an advisory board of global financial institutions, while Stellar casts a group of start-up veterans like WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg Y Combinator President Sam Altman. Dig a little deeper, and one also realizes that Ripple is funding its own competitor in Jed McCaleb, Co-Founder of Stellar. McCaleb started out as a co-founder of Ripple believe or not.

When Jed McCaleb discovered Bitcoin, there didn’t even exist an online marketplace to trade the cryptocurrency yet. The experienced founder who had earlier started file sharing site eDonkey, acted fast and started the first Bitcoin exchange MtGox which he later sold to now-infamous Mark Karpeles. Jed later founded the pioneering Ripple project before leaving to start Stellar. We discussed his journey through the industry and the ambitious plans Stellar has to create an open financial system that will give access to financial services to a much broader spectrum of humanity. Topics covered in this episode: Jed’s early involvement in the industry and founding of MtGox and subsequently Ripple Why Jed left Ripple and started Stellar How Ripple and Stellar differ The Stellar Consensus Protocol Why the organization behind Stellar is a non-profit foundation Stellar’s focus on developing markets and Nigeria in particular The role and distribution of Stellar’s currency Lumen Episode links: Stellar Website Stellar Consensus Protocol Bitcoin-Lumen Giveaway Stellar Graphic Novel Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Meher Roy.

Episode #54: David Schwartz explains Ripple On today’s show I speak with David Schwartz, the Chief Cryptographer at Ripple Labs and one of the architects of the Ripple protocol. David was developing encrypted cloud storage and messaging systems for organizations like CNN and the NSA when he discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and soon became active in the Bitcoin community as "JoelKatz". In late 2011, he was hired by Jed McCaleb to design and implement what is now the Ripple network. David gives us a fantastic explanation of what Ripple really is and for the first time, I feel like I might actually understand Ripple and where it fits in here at the Dawn of the Age of Cryptocurrencies!
