Taylor Monahan is the founder of MyCrypto, an Ethereum wallet, and today she's helping build MetaMask. As part of her job, she has become a full-time blockchain detective. She's also a character in my book, The Infinite Machine! Taylor is the first one who alerted us to the fact that in the past several months, a mysterious hack has taken over crypto wallets, draining $10 million worth of ether from OGs in the space. We begin our conversation with Taylor breaking down the hack from the beginning and also the latest in this saga. Then we go over her own, long history in the space, she gives risk management advice for crypto users and developers, and ponders some deep questions on whether code is law and whether DeFi should really be immutable.

Guest post by Slava Vasipenok Before the advent of A-NFT, there was an unsolvable problem, how to represent a physical object in virtual space with proof of the existence of this physical object and confirm ownership of this object? Yes, of course, you can make an NFT of your picture and place it in the virtual space, but how to prove that your picture exists in the physical world – after all, the digital file and the picture are not connected in any way? It was not an easy task, especially since QUASA engineers went further and set themselves the task of not just linking a unique NFT to a physical object and proof of ownership, but making this process free for people! We all hear that there is real life and there is virtual reality, and they are on their own. In our real world there are objects and bodies, but they are cut off from the virtual world. Before the advent of active NFTs, this was the case, and now there has been a new round of evolution, and maybe a revolution! Such events do not happen often, but now we see how you can expand the possibilities of the physical world! Active NFTs (A-NFTs) Empower Physical Items Active NFTs authenticate physical assets and represent them in virtual spaces with a unique active NFT (A-NFT). Now anyone can present objects, works of art, objects they own, and even their beloved pet in virtual spaces and metaverses with proof of ownership of these physical objects and the A-NFT itself. After you make an active NFT for your item or asset in a couple of clicks, you can send it to experts or the community for signature without leaving QUASA NFT applications. Decentralized expert or community signature is another know-how of active NFTs (A-NFTs). Install the QUASA NFT app and certify your property in the blockchain! Now it's possible and free for all users. In the new version of the QUASA NFT application ?A new Poliigon blockchain has been added where you can certify NFTs and create active NFTs (A-NFTs). Now you can create certified active NFTs (A-NFTs) on three Ethereum, Solana and Poliigon blockchains and select NFTs on five marketplaces without leaving the QUASA NFT app! Attention Great news for NFT creators, authors and owners – now in the QUASA NFT app you can create your own active NFT (A-NFT) and get a QUASA certificate with the “Ownership” mark of your original NFT. You do not need to connect a crypto wallet to receive a QUASA certificate with the “Property rights” mark, we care about your safety. Without leaving the QUASA NFT application, you only need to verify your key by signing it through MyCrypto – Ethereum Wallet Manager without importing a private key. It is much safer than connecting your crypto wallet and guarantees 100% safety of your data and private keys. The intuitive interface of QUASA NFT will allow you to obtain an NFT certificate with a mark of ownership – very simply. MyCrypto is an open-source tool that allows you to manage your Ethereum accounts privately and securely. MyCrypto service is a reliable partner of QUASA NFT Physical assets are easily represented in virtual spaces (metaverses) using unique active NFTs (A-NFTs). Quasa NFT App! Your NFT, your way!

More and more people understand that crypto is going to be big. But they don't really know why. And they don't want to be forced to turn all of their money into cryptocurrency right off the bat. So, what if there was a way to demonstrate the benefits of the technology with US dollars and then migrate users to digital currency over time? Andy Bromberg is the new CEO of Eco, a wallet designed to simplify everyday finances and maximize earning power. Andy began his career in startups as the CEO of political media platform Sidewire before cofounding CoinList in 2017, where he served as CEO for the last three years. Andy was also a member of the legendary Stanford Bitcoin Group from 2012 to 2014. On this episode of Boost VC, Andy joins us to discuss his introduction to crypto at Stanford and explain his decision to transition from CoinList to Eco. He weighs in the challenges of onboarding remotely and describes the skill set he brings to the Eco team. Listen in for Andy's insight around the benefits of the Eco app and learn how his team provides users with a migration path from USD to crypto. Topics Covered What got Andy into the crypto ecosystemPart of Stanford Bitcoin GroupCofounded CoinList in 2017 The challenges of onboarding remotelyConnect with team in Zoom settingEncourage natural interaction How Eco makes your money work for youPut money in, earn up to 5% APY5% cashback on purchases Eco's approach to broad crypto adoptionApp based around US dollarsEducate on tech over time What inspired Andy's transition to EcoToken design makes senseMigration path (USD to crypto) The skill set Andy brings to the Eco teamBuild community/attentionLaunch project successfullyAbility to scale organization  Andy's definition of successThings feel natural, peacefulIn flow state most of timeConnect with Andy  Eco https://eco.com/  Eco on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/eco-pay/  Eco on Twitter https://twitter.com/ecoAndy on Twitter https://twitter.com/andy_bromberg Resources CoinList https://coinlist.co/  Coinbase https://www.coinbase.com/Earn https://www.coinbase.com/earn  Andreessen Horowitz https://a16z.com/Balaji Srinivasan https://balajis.com/Bolt https://www.bolt.com/Cognito https://cognitohq.com/AngelList https://angel.co/  Protocol Labs https://protocol.ai/MyCrypto https://mycrypto.com/accountFidelity Digital Assets https://www.fidelitydigitalassets.com/overviewBlackRock https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual  The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York by Robert A.

Taylor Monahan is the founder and CEO of MyCrypto. In this interview as part of The Breakdown’s end of year coverage, she argues that the level of discourse in crypto matured in 2019, with more focus on things that actually matter. That’s important, because in 2020, she predicts a major fork-in-the-road moment, where the industry as a whole could either stay on the path set out in its cypherpunk roots, or be significantly co-opted and corrupted by the entrace of corporate and government actors into the space.

Laura recounts the tale of how she got SIM swapped, what mistakes she made, and what she did to secure her accounts and get her phone number back. She also reveals how, despite having shored up her security years before, she actually was still vulnerable. She also reveals the results of an investigation her mobile carrier did into what happened and what steps the mobile carrier is taking to deal with phone hijackings. Plus, she gives tips on how you can protect your cryptocurrency, financial accounts, data and more from SIM swapping attacks. Due to the holidays, there's no news recap this week, but if you are with friends and family whose digital lives need some securing, then follow the tips in this episode together.

Managing crypto-assets can be an anxiety-inducing experience for a lot of people. While it's quite empowering to “be your own bank,” it's also scary for a lot of people who understand the risks associated with self-custody. Although cryptocurrency wallets have made tremendous progress since the days when a full-sync of the blockchain was required, there are still significant hurdles that limit broad adoption. This conversation on the future of wallets at SF Blockchain Week Epicenter conference includes Taylor Monahan of MyCrypto, David Gold of FIO Protocol, Dan Finlay of MetaMask, and Ouriel Ohayon of ZenGo. They discuss design, app store policies, and the evolution necessary to enable more people to send, receive, and manage their tokens confidently. The panel is moderated by Epicenter host Sebastien Couture.Topics covered in this episode:Advancements in the usability of cryptocurrency wallets over the last yearThe importance of mobile-first developmentFrustrations with iOS and Android app storesHow to make developing wallets economically feasibleThe future of walletsSelf-custody vs. custodial walletsRegulation of self-custody walletsWhat to look forward to in the near-termEpisode links: MetaMaskZenGo - Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency WalletFIO Protocol Developer HubMyCryptoTaylor Monahan on TwitterDan Finlay on TwitterOuriel Ohayon on TwitterFIO Protocol on TwitterMetaMask on TwitterMyCrypto.com on TwitterZenGo on TwitterSponsors: Cosmos: Compete to win 100,000 ATOM by building and running Cosmos Zones - https://cosmos.network/goz/eToro: Automatically copy every trade of eToro's top crypto traders at the exact price in real-time - https://www.etoro.com/Pepo: Meet the people shaping the crypto movement - https://pepo.com/epicenterThis episode is hosted by Sebastien Couture.

Many people find that the crypto-finance space is quite difficult for non-technical people to understand and interact with the technologies. Some projects and people have made tremendous progress in creating tools and interfaces that allow a broader audience to participate, speculate, and learn.Taylor Monahan started MyEtherWallet as a side project in 2015, only for it to grow into one of the significant pieces of software people used to participate in the 2017 ICO boom. She has since "design-forked" the codebase and created MyCrypto, an open-source tool for generating ether wallets, handling ERC-20 tokens, and interacting with the blockchain with a clean and intuitive design.Topics covered in this episode:Taylor's background, and how she got into cryptocurrencyWhat her experience was with Ethereum so early in the projects lifecycleHow Reddit comments helped guide the feature list in the early days of MyEtherWalletHow the DAO hack got her working full time on MyEtherWalletBuilding a project before “founding a company”Experiencing the ICO boom as the main wallet used to participate in token generation eventsWhere MyCrypto is at todayHow Taylor wants MyCrypto to change the user experience in cryptocurrencyTaylor’s view on centralized exchanges and view of the futureEpisode links:MyCrypto Beta#MyCryptoWinter is back!

Episode #9 What are Wallets w/ Taylor Monahan & Maria Carola *** this is not financial or legal advice*** This is one of the most important conversations you will hear when you first get into crypto.

We speak with the CEO of MyCrypto, Taylor Monahan, to see how her mindset has changed and how MyCrypto has evolved since we last spoke to her over a year ago. Taylor shares why she believes DApps have a long way to go before they're truly useful to the masses, the personal security challenges that end users are facing in 2019, and also some of the upcoming new features of MyCrypto.

In this episode the roundtable is open. Ray Redacted, Jessie "The Man" Broke, Harry D and Taylor from MyCrypto all swing by to discuss security, why it is not sexy and what it needs to do to be sexy. Corey invents a new acronym, "SIS." Everyone in the roundtable agrees that it should be a new standard way of thinking. Also, Taylor reminds everyone in the crypto community that the worst user experience is the one where the user loses their money. Nobody wants that. Oh...and for good measure, if you aren't using 2FA or some form of MFA, then you are just waiting to get pwned. Waiting very patiently to get pwned.

Rich Sanders, cofounder and chief security officer of CipherBlade, and Harry Denley, director of security of MyCrypto.com, discuss the phone porting phenomenon: who's behind these thefts, how they perpetrate them, who is targeted, how to recognize the signs you're a victim and how to the hackers are adapting to people protecting themselves. They cover how you can protect yourself, which accounts to protect, what kinds of email addresses and numbers to set up, how to set them up, how to separate them from anything valuable, and which two-factor authentication methods could work instead. Plus, they go over how to report a theft, to whom you should report, and what information to include. Thank you to our sponsors!

David Gold is ​the mastermind ​leading a project called ​FIO (Foundation for Interwallet Operability)​. ​David is a former dot com entrepreneur and 11+ year tech/blockchain venture capitalist, who believes usability must be greatly improved for Satoshi's vision of “purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash” to become a broad reality. The foundation is a consortium of leading blockchain wallets, exchanges and payments providers that seeks to accelerate blockchain adoption by reducing the risk, complexity, and inconvenience of sending and receiving cryptoassets. FIO is developing the FIO Protocol, a decentralized open-source blockchain protocol, that will enable greatly enhanced user experience inside the FIO enabled wallets, exchanges and applications of their choice. ​Erik Voorhees from ShapeShift is extremely excited about​ this project which is intended to massively improve UX of all wallet software (blockchain agnostic). Furthermore, The ​FIO Protocol ​is a new inter-wallet operability protocol that removes the risk, complexity, and inconvenience of sending and receiving tokens and coins. ShapeShift.io​, KeepKey, TrustWallet, Coinomi, MyCrypto, BRD, Edge & Mycelium are already signed up as members to the Foundation and will implement the protocol that provides an enhanced layer of usability features for existing and future wallets and exchanges - making the transfer of cryptocurrencies between wallets as simple and straightforward for consumers as making transfers on PayPal.  Bonus Live Interview! 23:40 Ian meets up with Justin Dean and Lucas Dimos from MGEN visit our show notes to learn more at www.theblockchainshow.com Socialize with us via social media: minds Facebook Twitter We'd love to hear your feedback Please contact us if you would like to ask us any questions, challenge us to improve our ideas or would like to participate in future podcasts.

We’ve come a long way, baby. In fact, it’s mindboggling to consider the progress cryptocurrency has made, as an industry, since the introduction of Bitcoin in 2009. But we’re still a long way from mass adoption. So, how can improvements in UX lower the barrier to entry? Who are the players working to push crypto adoption forward? And what potential catalysts could spark widespread use of crypto among the general public?

To hear that a 29-year-old died of complications from Crohn's disease is shocking enough. But it's practically unbelievable when the person in question was in charge of a crypto exchange that held an estimated $150 million of customer funds and that he was the only person with access to the reserves. That's what many in the crypto community thought last week when news of the death of Gerald Cotten, the CEO of Canadian crypto exchange QuadrigaCX, spread. Taylor Monahan, the CEO of MyCrypto, looked at the Ethereum blockchain itself to see what could be gleaned from QuadrigaCX's holdings. She talks about whether or not the exchange had "cold storage" -- addresses in which customer funds were held, what Quadriga was doing with customer funds and why some of the choices it was making seem at odds with the typical operations a crypto exchange. She also discusses what crypto users can take away from this debacle. Thank you to our sponsor!

The cofounder of MyEtherWallet and CEO of newly launched MyCrypto walks us through the nuts and bolts of how MyCrypto works, how it differs from a company like Coinbase, why the keys you get from the site even enable to work offline -- and how the company makes money. She also describes how the crypto community changed in 2017, her crazy sleeping schedule during that year, and how she responds when users ask questions like whether or not an initial coin offering will really deliver on the returns promised. We also cover what it's like being a CEO when running a company was never in her game plan, how she got into crypto after starting off in film school and what her tips are for not losing your crypto. https://mycrypto.com/

Additionally, they will soon be starting a public beta for those who want to test our new codebase so look out for that! Taylor Monahan joins us on the roundtable to talk about that. In addition Jameson Lopp is our special guest. We discuss the current state of the tech vs the hype around blockchain, challenges faced with creating infrastructure services and a bunch of other philosophically interesting stuff.
