What does the #Regen future look like? I have started a Sulfur Punk story, based on my experience with Regen Network at Wilbur Hot Springs last week, where they were building an Autonomous Ecological Institution. Read first instalment here: https://ellierennie.medium.com/flume-eda6d81fed46

These drafts are the product of years of ethnographic research on validator service providers, home staking, contribution systems (SourceCred). More to come, plus findings on attestations/VCs & NFTs. It’s all parts of a whole that I will synthesize eventually

Protecting Ethereum’s machine culture from the politics of people. (In which I alienate myself from my humanities colleagues whilst confounding computer scientists everywhere). Feedback welcome. https://ellierennie.medium.com/machine-politics-the-cultural-science-of-permissionless-systems-9e73da656a97

Essentially, culture makes groups, groups make knowledge (see Cultural Science) = validators are groupish and produce common knowledge. Knowledge is the currency of economies and politics (according to CS)

Currently writing a short essay about what it means for machines to have culture by observing #Etherum validators. This might be one of the weirdest things I’ve ever written. You can all hate me later if it gets published.

I’d try some more stretch and folds, aiming to get a tighter dough on the pre-shape. Looks like it’s possibly spreading when you put it in the pot? Or try a hotter bake - get your pot really hot first 🔥 Looks delish
