| <nettime> update on the MoneyLab project |
Dear nettimers, here at the Institute of Network Cultures our network on internet revenue models for art (MoneyLab) is doing well. Last December we've hosted MoneyLab #3, in Amsterdam. The fourth event is scheduled for January 2018, this time in Cambridge (UK). We hope to announce something soon. MoneyLab is still into bitcoin, crypto-currencies, blockchain, but also critical crowdfunding research and larger debates such as cashless society and universal basic income. Late 2016 we will present the second INC MoneyLab Reader (the deadline for first drafts of essays is May 15, contact me if you're still interested to send something as the date for proposals has already past). If you're interested to join the network, please subscribe to the mailinglist. It is low traffic (2-3 posting a week): http://listcultures.org/mailman/listinfo/moneylab_listcultures.org. Let us know if you want to collaborate, have ideas about events and workshops, related debates and initiatives! Best, Geert ps. One of the regular items are link lists with relevant articles that we compile together. Here are some of the recent URLs, to give you an idea about the issues that MoneyLab deals with: How Onecoin Became One of the Biggest Scams in Crypto History http://bitsonline.com/onecoin-biggest-scam-history/ Demonetization Roulette: India's unusual approach to creating a cashless economy http://paymentsviews.com/2017/03/28/demonetization-roulette-indias-unusual-approach-to-creating-a-cashless-economy/ Demystifying India's Digital Payment Infrastructure http://paymentsviews.com/2017/03/23/demystifying-indias-digital-payment-infrastructure/ Is Mobile Money Safe for Hackers? http://blog.mondato.com/mobile-money-hack ICO Irrationality? 300-million Gnosis Valuation Sparks Market Concerns http://www.coindesk.com/ethereum-ico-irrationality-300-million-gnosis-valuation-sparks-market-concerns/ Beach Boy Bitcoin https://medium.com/bitcoin-think/beach-boy-bitcoin-64f62bed4c7e Cheap monnies... hack bitcoin and get those coins! https://arxiv.org/pdf/1605.07524.pdf Financial Times published an article supportive of platform co-ops https://www.ft.com/content/beb85bdc-1f8e-11e7-b7d3-163f5a7f229c Something to analyse: launch of IMF's fintech advisory board https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2017/03/15/pr1784-imf-managing-director-welcomes-establishment-of-high-level-advisory-group-on-fintec h Meet Eva--The Horror of the Invisible Bank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXaStS5UPVM&feature=youtu.be How Amir Taaki Tried to Build Bitcoin Economy in Syria While Fighting ISIS https://cointelegraph.com/news/how-amir-taaki-tried-to-build-bitcoin-economy-in-syria-while-fighting-isis Mondato on financial inclusion http://blog.mondato.com/financial-inclusion-eclipse-consumer-protection-concerns/ Blockchains believers can make any claim, and there is no one there to object, lovely! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iF73cybTBs&feature=youtu.be http://blockchain-documentary.com/ Segwit vs. Bitcoin Unlimited and Bitcoin's Fork Explained Simply https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-fork-segwit-vs-bitcoin-unlimited-explained-simply/ Making Money-Promise and peril in the Indian bitcoin economy http://www.caravanmagazine.in/reportage/bitcoin-india-after-demonetisation Cashless Society: a Credible Death Threat to Privacy https://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/2017/sessions/cashless-society-credible-death-threat-privacy Could Blockchain Put Money Back in Artists' Hands? https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-blockchain-money-artists-hands # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
