We are back this week in the garage this week after a week off and are being joined by Shannon Chapman before he leaves town again on his adventure. We are sipping on a donated bottle from Shawn Wilkinson of Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

On Thursday, March 3, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. ET, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, will hold a hybrid hearing to examine the disproportionate rates by which BIPOC—Black, Indigenous, and People of Color—women and girls go missing, the disparate treatment their cases receive by law enforcement and the media, and potential solutions to address this crisis. This silent epidemic is affecting hundreds of thousands of Black, Brown, and Indigenous women and girls across the country. In 2020, 40% of all women and girls reported missing were people of color—100,000 out of 250,000 missing—despite making up just 16% of the population. The disproportionate rate of missing Black and Indigenous women and girls can be attributed to a variety of factors, including higher rates of intimate partner violence against BIPOC women than white women. Missing Black, Brown, and Indigenous women and girls also rarely receive the same amount of attention by law enforcement and the media as white women and girls. Empirical studies have identified “missing white woman syndrome”—a phenomenon in which white women are given vastly higher levels of media attention than women of color. And while white women are often treated as vulnerable victims by both law enforcement and the media, BIPOC women are frequently viewed as responsible for their situations. The full scope of the problem is impossible to measure due to a lack of comprehensive and consistent data regarding missing BIPOC women and girls. In fact, there is no data on missing Hispanic or Latino women, as their cases are captured under the “White” demographic. To address this problem, federal and state governments must step up to address gaps in care, protection, and data collection. Congress must also act to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2021, pass the Protect Black Women and Girls Act, and fund the full implementation of the Ashanti Alert Act.

Steve sits down with Shawn Wilkinson and AJ Kazmierczak this week to crack a bottle of Rabbit Hole Heigold and light up a Cohiba Blue.  Rabbit Hole has rebranded their line and this bottle is a bit tougher to find depending on where you are shopping.  We enjoyed lighting up the Cohiba along side of the whiskey.  This turned out to be a nice pairing for us and we liked learning about each of them.  Check out Part 2 for our conversation focusing on Shawn's story about life, health, and family.  Sit down, pour a drink, light up, and join us in the garage.

Shawn Wilkinson has successfully built an innovative solution to cloud storage. His company Storaj is a distributed decentralized cloud storage network. Instead of having data centers located around the world, Storaj pays people to rent their unused hardware space and uses a decentralized model to store data for their customers. Shawn conceptualized the idea at a hackathon and build his company from his dorm room at Morehouse College. Now, Storaj has raised over 3 million dollars and looks to position themselves to take on the Google and the Amazons of the world and become the leader in cloud Storage

File storage has long been known as a centralized solution. Storj seeks to change this with their decentralized file storage and retrieval architecture. We'll go over their design, engineering goals, and challenges. We dive deep into how erasure codes can be used to mitigate replication requirements, how trust is managed on their decentralized platform, and how one can be incentivized to donate their storage space and bandwidth to the world through their network. **Links** https://storj.io/ https://github.com/Storj/

On this episode of BlockChannel, McKie, Dee and Dr. Petty sit down with Shawn Wilkinson of Storj. Storj is a decentralized cloud storage provider that was created back in 2014. Since its inception, Storj has been hard at work on creating “cloud farms” of user submitted disk storage, where individuals who “rent' out their additional disk space can receive monetary incentives for supporting the network. Originally built on XCP (Counterparty), Storj now plans to make a migration away from the now abandoned project (XCP is platform created originally on the bitcoin blockchain), and move their token and service over to Ethereum, to leverage its smart contracting capabilities, and reduced fees.

On today’s show I feel privileged to be speaking once again with Shawn Wilkinson, the brains behind Storj. Storj.io is decentralized cloud storage utilizing the world’s best blockchain – that’s right the Bitcoin Blockchain. In the first half of the show I take us all back in time to the 2015 Texas Bitcoin Conference in Austin, Texas and to an interview from the lost Tree House Studio archives. Back in 2015 I had an opportunity to sneak into the Bitcoin conference hackathon and interview the 2014 winner of the hackathon who was . . . you guessed it . . . Shawn Wilkinson – the mastermind behind Storj.io. The 2nd half of the show features Shawn once again as he walks me through how to rent out 20 gigs of storage space on my Macbook Pro. I ask some silly questions and with the patience of a saint, Shawn answers my questions and gets me set up and running my computer as a farmer growing Storj coins and supporting a really great decentralized cloud storage service. Also on this episode you’ll get to hear the one and only Santa Clause perform for us his rendition of It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Bitcoin – a new holiday tradition celebrating the birth of our beloved . . . bitcoin.

Welcome to episode 16 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I was excited to talk to Bruce Fenton at the recent Texas Bitcoin Conference. It was a fun conversation, and I think it gives a good sense of Bruce as a person. He answered my questions about the exclusive Satoshi Roundtable Bitcoin retreat he organized, and filled me in about his impressive background in financial management. Our interview concluded with passionate exposition by Bruce. Note that we spoke before Bruce was voted in by the Bitcoin Foundation Board as their new Executive Director. I also spoke with Scott Rose, who I was familiar with from his popular comedic video series, "Shit Bitcoin Fanatics Say." Scott's background as an actor and a hired speaker for Apple, combined with his passion for Bitcoin, makes him a great cryptocurrency proponent. This is demonstrated in his recent Austin Nerd Night presentation called "Bitcoin 101: What Happens When We Decentralize Money?". I often think Bitcoin needs better P.R., and Scott did his part with this presentation. If you wonder why you hear traffic in the background, most of my interviews from this conference took place in the patio area outside of the Moody Theater. This is where the exhibiter's booths were located, and also where most people congregated when they weren't watching presentations.

Welcome to episode 15 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. While I usually try to be extremely professional on my podcast, this episode from the Friday night Kickoff Party for the Texas Bitcoin Conference may expose a slightly different side of me. I went straight from Austin–Bergstrom International Airport to Maria's Taco Express, where the party was held. I arrived to the sound of live music and a large patio area completely packed with Bitcoiners. I made my way through the crowd and checked in with the very nice Linda Snow. She handed me drink tickets and offered to keep an eye on my bags, which I appreciated. I went to the outdoor bar and ordered a beer and a shot of tequila. Hey, this was a party, and I was ready to have fun! But because only drinks were available at the outdoor register, and I was in a hurry to join the party, I skipped going inside to order food. I didn't think about how long it had been since I had eaten, or how much an empty stomach might intensify the effects of the alcohol I was consuming. Lesson learned! Before I knew it, I had my phone out and I started interviewing every friendly face I bumped into. That ended up being a team from A.I. Coin, Texas-based Sheldon Weisfeld from CoinVault ATM, the Swiss-based team behind ShapeShift, and finally I spoke with Joey Krug from Augur. It was quite a lot of fun! I hope you'll tune in for upcoming episodes of The Bitcoin Game that will include interviews with Bruce Fenton, Erik Vorhees, Shawn Wilkinson, John Bush, Scott Rose, and many many more. Don't worry, the rest of my interviews were executed in a totally sober state, and with first-rate sound quality. Though I may have felt some intoxication from being around so many impressive Bitcoiners!

Welcome to episode 14 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I recently attended the Texas Bitcoin Conference, and had an amazing time. I got to meet fellow LTB podcasters John Barrett and John Bush, people I listened to well before I started this podcast. I also got to meet some Bitcoin heroes of mine, as well as listeners to this show. To kick off my content from the conference, I bring you this informative but somewhat scary talk about Cryptocurrency Regulation, delivered by the very knowledgeable Carol Van Cleef. The presentation is followed by a panel discussion, and ends with questions from the audience. Cryptocurrency Regulation Panel Carol Van Cleef, Partner, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP Joel Aud, Texas Department of Public Safety, Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence Division Timothy L. Evans, Sr. Council, Enforcement, U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission Helena Margarido, Partner at HMO Advogados and Cofounder of the Brazilian Bitcoin Foundation Perianne Boring, Chamber of Digital Commerce Paul Snow, CEO, Factom and the Texas Bitcoin Conference I hope you'll tune in for upcoming episodes of The Bitcoin Game that will include details on what it was like for me to attend my first major Bitcoin conference, and you'll also get to hear my interviews with Bitcoiners including Erik Vorhees, Bruce Fenton, Shawn Wilkinson, John Bush, and many many more. So let's go back to Sunday morning, March 29, 2015, at the Texas Bitcoin Conference at the Moody Theater in Downtown Austin...
