 @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Haon] That way people will have to pay it back with interest, creating a web of debt which binds people to the project for ever and ever | 20:12:17 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Haon] :drevil: | 20:12:33 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Haon] Isn't that what America does to people to pay for college education? | 20:13:57 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] howdy @scarmani | 20:48:41 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/scarmani] hi, just checked out the Decred Journal for June, cool stuff | 20:49:19 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/scarmani] saw that there was a new channel for the DEX | 20:49:51 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/scarmani] I think it is funny that there are a bunch of articles published online trashing on chain governance, but none of them mention or analyze Decred | 20:51:00 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] we've been redacted | 20:51:46 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] ppl will mention tezos and cardano, two projects that are barely off the ground, but omit decred, which has been in production for almost 2.5 years and has done 2 successful consensus votes | 20:52:37 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/scarmani] lol, it's amusing | 20:53:03 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] we typically discuss new governance-related articles in here as they're published | 20:53:41 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] a fun one from @Richard-Red, in case you haven't seen it https://medium.com/@richardred/what-is-on-chain-cryptocurrency-governance-is-it-plutocratic-bfb407ef6f1 | 20:54:03 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/scarmani] nice, hadn't seen, checking it out | 20:54:31 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] also this one that addresses the recent dark dao article https://medium.com/@richardred/response-to-on-chain-vote-buying-and-the-rise-of-dark-daos-b479deb37fb7 | 20:55:10 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/solar] They can't mention us because we dont fit into their narrative | 20:58:27 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] my impression is that Decred is getting mentioned more in these discussions recently | 21:04:51 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] not so much in the longer pieces against on-chain governance, because I guess it's easier to trash the concept than a working implementation of it | 21:06:38 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] coindesk reached out to us about the dark dao article for comment, interested to see if we're quoted and, if so, what they cite | 21:17:45 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] it certainly does get old that we are selectively omitted from many governance discussions | 21:18:27 |

| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] this excerpt from taleb's book has an interesting section https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dictatorship-of-the-small-minority-3f1f83ce4e15 | 03:08:28 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] "Genes follow majority rules; languages minority rule" | 03:08:55 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] i see that as a very reductionist way to view on-chain vs off-chain governance - majority rule vs minority rule | 03:09:36 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/joshuam] Just read that whole ZCash "as a queer trans person".
Is that something that actually happened, dafuq!? | 16:59:07 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/joshuam] It's almost too meme to be true. | 16:59:27 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/devwarrior] I read also and was surprised t.b.h. | 17:01:36 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/devwarrior] would like to hear comment from Zooko | 17:03:47 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/joshuam] @Richard-Red wanted to give you another round of applause on that on-chain vote buying/dark daos rebuttal. Have just linked it to an individual on twitter who was growing skeptical of OCG as a result of the piece you were rebutting. | 17:08:37 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/joshuam] Further validates the case for an indexed, references and annotated repository of our content pieces. It's so valuable to be able to efficiently dig up constructive content like that. | 17:10:16 |
