In this episode, Connor had the pleasure of speaking with Garrett of Nodle, a groundbreaking startup that utilises smartphones to create a decentralized network for various applications. They discussed how Nodle began its journey seven years ago, initially focusing on building mesh networks to facilitate communication in areas without internet access. Today, Nodle has evolved into a powerful tool for verifying reality, enabling users to prove the authenticity of images and data through a new app called Click. Garrett highlighted the importance of citizen journalism in the current digital landscape, where anyone with a smartphone can capture significant events. We explored the potential of Nodle's technology to collect and incentivize these insights, making it a valuable resource for media companies and AI firms alike. One of the key challenges they addressed was the difficulty in distinguishing between real and AI-generated content, emphasizing the need for reliable verification tools. They also delved into the technical aspects of Nodle's wireless network creation, which utilizes Bluetooth connectivity from smartphones to locate assets, such as stolen vehicles. This innovative approach not only reduces costs but also enhances the efficiency of connecting devices to the internet. Garrett shared his vision for a more open future, where smartphones can be utilized to their full potential, breaking free from the restrictions imposed by traditional telecom companies. We discussed the implications of this shift, particularly in terms of trust and decentralization, and how blockchain technology can play a crucial role in establishing a more scalable and reliable model. 00:00 - Introduction 00:11 - The Challenge of Verifying Media Authenticity 00:26 - Overview of Nodle's Offerings 01:03 - The Evolution of Nodle's Technology 02:21 - The Role of Citizen Journalism in Modern Media 03:54 - Using Blockchain for Media Verification 04:50 - Image Authentication and Metadata Security 05:26 - Wireless Network Creation with Smartphones 06:38 - Real-World Applications: Asset Recovery 07:33 - The Future of Connectivity and Microcomputers 08:05 - The Debate: Custom Hardware vs. Smartphones 09:18 - The Shift Towards a More Open Future 10:01 - Decentralization and Trust in the Digital Age 10:11 - Conclusion and Future Outlook Disclaimer: The hosts and the firms they represent may hold stakes in the companies mentioned in this podcast.

By Selva Ozelli SNPIT is a groundbreaking snap-to-earn blockchain platform that allows photographers to monetize their photography by creating NFT's and selling them. Developed by Gallusys and published by Zeal Nova, SNPIT has garnered significant attention and success in Japan. SNPIT a blockchain solution for photography SNPIT taps into the contemporary habit of frequent photography by allowing photographers to earn rewards for their work by creating NFTs. Tokenizing photography is the practice of creating and selling unique digital editions of photographs as NFTs on blockchain platforms like SNPIT. These NFTs can include anything from fine art prints to press photos, to photos of art work and they are often accompanied by exclusive content like videos or audio recordings. A photographic NFT is more than just an expensive jpeg or a digital license allowing a collector to share photographer's art freely. It is a digital asset and photographer's proof of provenance traceable to the photographer at its origin on the blockchain. Since its beta launch in September 2023 after the NFT market boom, the SNPIT platform has garnered immense attention. Within a mere 21 hours, SNPIT completely sold out its collection of 10,000 Camera NFTs priced at 150 $MATIC each. In the US, on June 5 and then again on November 20, 2023, the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC') named Polygon's $MATIC as an 'unregistered security' involved in the digital asset trading on the Binance and Kraken crypto exchanges. Since then, CoinMarketCap's data revealed that $MATIC's price dropped considerably. This swift sell-out of NFTs in exchange for $MATIC in Japan, underscores the platform's rising popularity and the considerable interest in its unique features. SNIPIT is now expanding globally to introduce its innovative features to new markets focusing on Korea, MENA, and English-speaking regions Website hopefully with regulatory compliance in each new jurisdiction as the company expands globally following the tokenized collectibles trend. Toshiyuki Otsuka, the visionary CEO and founder of SNPIT, explained "SNPIT transcends being just an app; it's a movement empowering users to transform everyday moments into valuable assets. Our successful debut in Japan validates our vision, and we are excited to introduce SNPIT to a global audience. We firmly believe that our innovative blend of lifestyle and GameFi, powered by DePIN technology, will resonate with users worldwide, and we remain committed to expanding our influence." Strategic partnerships have been instrumental in enhancing SNPIT's visibility and attracting a diverse user base. Recently, SNPIT has launched the "World Repository," a photo database leveraging DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) technology, allowing users to upload photos with precise timestamps and location data. The "World Repository" aims to revolutionize how we document, share, and use visual data, fostering a more connected and informed world by enhancing map services with detailed area information. By inviting global contributions, the "World Repository" securely stores and makes these photos accessible worldwide. The database supports various applications, including cultural heritage restoration, metaverse content creation, environmental conservation, and generative AI training. For example, photographers could celebrate World Environment Day on June 5th hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with theme of land restoration, desertification and drought resilience by uploading their photos of the desert from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the World Repository. Or photographers can celebrate World Oceans Day on June 8th, hosted in-person at the UN Headquarters in New York and broadcast digitally live worldwide with a theme Awaken New Depths by uploading photos from the UNESCO OCEAN DECADE TIDES OF CHANGE WAVES OF HOPE ART SHOW hosted by Art on the Ave NYC at Fulton Center of art work of artists: Alfons Rodriguez (Melting A...
You've probably never heard of GROW Super or GROW Inc. And that's just the way co-founder and CEO Mathew Keeley likes it. But GROW Inc is solving some of the logjam problems in the “back office” administration of our massive Superannuation Funds. GROW Inc instigated a new way for Superannuation fund customers like you and I, to better access and engage with our Super Funds, by creating and building an innovative administration software using blockchain, or Distributed Ledger Technology. GROW Inc claims its platform transforms legacy systems and business models and allows fund managers and their funds to offer more streamlined, real time information to customers about their Super. So how did a 5th generation farm boy, end up revolutionising the way Superannuation Funds interact with clients and members, giving as easy an experience for fund members as Amazon gives their online shoppers? And how the heck did Mat Keeley, with a tiny team of only 36 employees at the time, persuade one of the world's biggest wealth managers, the US giant Vanguard – with something like $10 Trillion in their care – to take a punt on his Super fund “back office” platform GROW Inc? Well, tune in right now and you'll find out. Enjoy Mathew Keeley's extraordinary journey with GROW Inc.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Learning about new and improved ways to navigate archaic structures in our line of business is always very interesting. So, this week, I wanted to take you on a deep dive into blockchain entertainment financing --- refined by entrepreneurs and producers Kim Jackson and Jake Craven of Breaker.io.Kim is a member of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, co-owner of SingularDTV, and CEO of its umbrella company, Breaker Studios, where Jake serves as Vice President of Content Partnerships.Breaker, founded in 2017, is a leading blockchain development and services company in the Media & Entertainment industry. It provides an innovative, intuitive, and user-friendly end-to-end royalty management platform for independent creators and distributors. Simply put, it uses blockchain and cloud-based technology to enable creators to maximize their revenue by automating revenue collection, backend accounting, and royalty payments while ensuring transparent reporting. I discovered Breaker when I stumbled upon Alex Winter's award-winning feature documentary, Trust Machine: The Story Of Blockchain produced by Kim. Trust Machine trailer. The film explains how Blockchain technology is already being used to change the world, fighting income inequality, the refugee crisis, and world hunger. If you are new to Blockchain or have felt overwhelmed by all the information Google threw at you in an attempt to learn the rudimentary theory of Blockchain and cryptocurrency, check out Vinay Gupta's 'A Brief History of Blockchain, Kim referenced during our chat.Breaker's concept is definitely the future of entertainment finance and, dare I say, global financial transacting.Being ahead of its time, Breaker is introducing products that allow for media revenue and royalty to be tracked via blockchain technology, which allows for an open-source network of data.Basically, Breaker provides a better model for instantaneous recording and eliminating mistrust, especially for independent companies that want to sustain a business and revenue model for themselves. I wish we had more time to continue the conversation because it was packed with filmtrepreneurial and blockchain knowledge bombs, and we could all do with the extra crash course. But I made sure to ask many important questions for you guys from today's experts.So, enjoy my conversation with Kim Jackson and Jake Craven.

The US health care system is fraught with all sorts of problems. Many of these have to do with consolidation in the market and scores of rent-seekers (those using legislation and regulation to maintain their market share. Those issues can probably be best resolved with fundamental changes within the halls of government. However, some of these problems can be addressed with new technology which offers solutions not even dreamed possible a few years ago. And the driver of much of this innovation rests on block chain technology. Block Chains to the Rescue? The basics of block chains have been discussed on this show where we explained the basic concept of what it is and how it works (here and here). We also looked at some helpful business applications such as decentralized finance and how that could unlock capital and make for opportunities for small medical practices. However, the real allure of block chain is whether it can solve some of the bigger problems in health care and bring about real structural change to the problems that plague doctors and patients alike: information sharing, supply chains, and payment processing. Patient Information Sharing and Storage Big Data is big money and there is no more valuable data set than patient health information. Companies pay millions of dollars for this data to develop health processes and businesses to manipulate the data to change patient behavior, physician behavior, and new businesses. However, the biggest problem is that the patient has no ownership of their information meaning that they cannot decide if the data is used or be compensated if it is. The possibilities of the block chain allow for patients to control their information and dictate those to companies - not the other way around. Additionally, patients owning and securing their own data would allow for more accurate and safer transfer of their personal medical information when traveling between medical systems, EHRs, or even health providers within the same system. In essence, a patient could only transfer the information they want and deem important to a particular provider and no more. A quick example would be to just provide personal demographic information to an imaging center and not all their health history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
