0x18h - A Fireside Chat: Episode 0

The genesis episode of 0x18h is edited and hosted! In it, I introduce the concept of the podcast and host an example block on the topic of IPP. Following, @delta1512, foxifi, and myself have a nice chat about IPP, gridcoin, curecoin, foldingcoin, and BOINC. @Roboticmind and CoreByte enjoyed some easy listening in the text chat.

Problems

You might (you will) notice a few awkward edits and some hilarious banter about this bear named Craig. Craig is a recording bot for discord. Honestly, it's an awesome tool, it just kept trying to... hibernate... every once in a while. I will figure out why and hopefully keep it from happening again next week. Thanks for... bearing... with me!

I also noticed that my mic crackles a bit. It turns into white noise after a minute, but I will also look into this for next week's episode.

The Fireside Format

0x18h is a platform intended to help people share their thoughts and ideas regarding the philsophy, technology, effects, and implementation of the blockchain.

It is hosted every Thursday at 8:00pm EST on the Gridcoin discord server, and everyone is welcome to join the conversation through the discord chat.

0x18h episodes will be no longer than 60 minutes, though they may be shorter depending on how many speakers and subjects are scheduled for the episode.

For now, each episode is broken into six 10 minute blocks which can be reserved by individuals or groups who wish to explore a subject related to decentralized education, leadership, technology, or analysis.

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

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

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.

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 not intended to be a place to directly advertise products. 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. I am open to building on these based on community feedback.

  3. Swearing should be kept to an absolute minimum. Blue humor (vulgar jokes) is not permitted. This podcast is meant to be something we can share with respected elders and impressionable youth.

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, it becomes 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.
  • Offer a Q&A on a subject with the audience.

That's it for now. If you want to reserve a block, reach out to me on discord by 10:00pm EST on Wednesday!

I will be hosting a block next week on "Open Access and Aaron Swartz."

Glad to be apart of it!

@jringo for those who have difficulty with time zones you might like to give the podcast time as UTC as well ..

That is of course that you want persons outside the United States to listen or join in too ..
