The Fireside Format

0x18h is hosted every Thursday at 8:00pm EST on the Gridcoin discord server.

0x18h episodes will be no longer than 60 minutes.

For now, each episode is broken into four 15 minute blocks which can be reserved by individuals or groups who wish to explore a subject related to decentralized education, leadership, technology, or analysis. The first 10 minutes are reserved for the speaker to use however they wish, and the final 5 minutes must be open to the community for discussion on the subject.

To qualify for a block, you or a participant must have previously written and published something that is at least somewhat related to what you intend to cover.

To reserve a block, reach out to jringo on the Gridcoin discord server or here on steemit with the subject you wish to discuss, the participants who intend to speak, and a link to a published article.

Blocks must be reserved by Wednesday at 10:00pm EST.

There are three rules when it comes to broadcasting on 0x18h:

1. You can talk about a project, but only if you are using it as an example to illustrate the idea behind the project. This is a place for ideas, conversation, and community.

2. The focus of any subject should somehow be related to decentralized education, leadership, technology, or analysis.

3. Swearing and vulgarity is not permitted.

Finally, 0x18h is intended to evolve as a community project. Suggestions and ideas are always appreciated.

How to Format Your Block

When you reserve a block, the first 10 minutes become yours to do with whatever you wish.

Some ideas of how you can use the time include:

• Host a monologue.
• Bring a friend and have a one-on-one conversation.
• Bring a group of friends and host a round table discussion.
• Bring someone who disagrees with you and have a debate.
• Offer a Q&A on a subject with the audience.

Notes:

• 0x18h is recorded using Yahweasel's open-source Craig recorder. We had some issues last week that were a result of some bugs that may have been addressed, however it is difficult to say how Craig will behave this week. He is his own bear. Please forgive any technical difficulties that may pop up. Craig is a one weasel project and an outstanding tool. Thank you Yahweasel!

• The header for this post was made by @hotbit, without me even saying anything. Thank you! I do want to make it known that while I am involved with the Gridcoin community, this podcast is meant to reach beyond Gridcoin and BOINC and welcomes all discussions around decentralized education, leadership, technology, and analysis.
