- Cardano Professional Society Rooms on Matrix
A post in the Cardano forum alerted me to the existence of this Matrix community, centered around Cardano.
I’ll put a link in the sidebar, as I feel that this Matrix room is one of the only instances of FOSS technologies being used for community discussion in the Cardano ecosystem besides this one.
It kind of blows my mind how dependent on centralized, closed-source technologies a community centered around a decentralized, open source technology is.
- Should Cardano Community Discussion eventually move to Lemmy/Mbin/Kbin?forum.cardano.org Cardano on Lemmy and Kbin
Impressive! Thanks for your input! I’m also in the camp of having a ton of ideas but not nearly the technical chops to accomplish them. I hope more people chime in on this. I’d love to see what Charles thinks of this since, IMO, we are still fairly centralized and siloed when it comes to governa...
Discussions have started regarding extending lemmy's stack to serve our purposes for a decentralized, immutable, auditable forum for official governance discussion.
I'd love it if everyone could chime in on this topic.
- Decentralized ride-sharing: Hoping to have a deep discussion about the pros and cons of this idea.infosec.pub Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis if the mayor signs a minimum wage bill for drivers - Infosec.Pub
Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis if the mayor signs a minimum wage bill for drivers::Lyft and Uber threatened to stop doing business in Minneapolis after the city council adopted a new rule Thursday that would set a minimum wage for rideshare drivers.
I made this comment in the thread of this story.
> Probably a very unpopular thing to say: It would be interesting to see a middleman-free, decentralized version of Lyft/Uber where payments and ride-hailing are done with crypto and blockchain/smart contracts, driver ID’s using using DID’s, anonymized on-chain using homomorphic encryption. The hardest problem that I forsee with that tech is with dispute resolution. The idea stems from the opinion that the gig economy is great but the real problem (in matters not related to conflict resolution) is that the middleman takes a huge cut of the fare in exchange for doing almost nothing.
I was hoping that we could have a discussion about the pro's and cons of a crypto implementation of ride-sharing apps like Lyft and Uber.
For me, I don't think we'll see any implementation of this idea anytime soon because there are a lot of near-impossible issues for a decentralized organization to deal with in regards to conflict resolution.
However from my perspective, almost all other aspects of this tech seem to benefit from the elimination of a greedy middleman that does nothing other than connect two independent parties (one looking to get hired to drive and the other looking to get a ride in exchange for money).

> Could this be a potential instance operator stake pool tie-in?!?! That would be an excellent application for increasing the revenue of the instance operators and it would also force each instance to become more reliable. > > This prospect obviously excites me but I do remember a recent argument I read about the Cobra Effect. A game-theoretically designed voting reward/punishment system based on real-life rewards would have a massive effect on current dynamics of interaction. It would also help regular people earn money from creating decentralized community that is free from advertising influence.
