1:34:24 2019-01-15 AMA 01/15/2019
  • Recaps a Berlin workshop where IOHK's ledger and delegation specifications went through formal red team review before the Shelley rollout begins.
  • Lays out the Shelley roadmap from Byron's retirement through wallet decoupling, Icarus addresses and gradual decentralization to full stake pool control by release 1.8.
50 timestamps 1:39:35 2018-12-22 AMA 12/22/2018
  • Shares a personal life update about moving to a 50-acre ranch and announces the IOHK Case Summit will open to the public in 2019.
  • Walks through staking mechanics in depth: epochs, slots, the coming Daedalus delegation center, and cold-wallet staking.
48 timestamps 30:32 2018-12-20 Some Thoughts on Shelley and Cardano Features
  • Walk through the 1.4 release, whose new data layer compresses storage up to 10x but makes restoration I/O-heavy and slow on older machines.
  • Define the Shelley release as three dimensions, testing, deployment, and social, delivered via an Ouroboros BFT halfway house migrating to Genesis.
34 timestamps 40:15 2018-12-15 UPD 12/15/2018
  • Reviews IOHK's 2018 shift to specification driven engineering, capped by the December 18th 1.0 release built directly from a formal specification.
  • Walks through the wallet backend decoupling roadmap, the Icarus program that produced Emurgo's Yoroi wallet, and the factors that delayed Ledger hardware wallet support.
53 timestamps 1:27:58 2018-11-16 AMA 11/16/2018
  • Cardano 1.4 nears release with a formally verified wallet backend, while the Shelley roadmap moves through Ouroboros BFT toward Genesis or Praos, a new network stack, and quantum resistant signature research.
  • Hardware wallet progress advances on multiple fronts: Ledger and Trezor support via the Icarus address migration, a Tangem NFC card demo, and a Sirin Labs Finney phone deal.
90 timestamps 1:43:55 2018-10-17 AMA 10/17/2018
  • Addresses the Cardano Foundation dispute, defends two years of private diplomacy before going public, and announces a new community management strategy built around IOHK and the Guardians of Cardano.
  • Explains upcoming Cardano technology: native tokens as first class citizens on the settlement layer, trusted hardware offline transactions, dynamic fees, and payment channels planned after Shelley.
66 timestamps 2:05:41 2018-09-09 AMA 09/09/2018
  • Opens with a personal health overhaul, intermittent fasting, keto, meditation with a Muse headband, and floatation therapy, ahead of a trip to South Korea and Japan.
  • Defends peer reviewed protocol development against calls to move faster, arguing that protocols like Ouroboros need years of rigor unlike disposable software.
113 timestamps 40:32 2018-08-23 Q&A 08/23/2018
  • Cardano is a best guess at what a third generation cryptocurrency looks like, built around scalability, interoperability and sustainability, with the governance side the hardest of the three.
  • Separating accounting from computation lets the settlement layer stay simple and low risk while the computation layer runs IELE, an EVM clone and eventually any language whose semantics are written in the K framework.
46 timestamps 1:54:29 2018-08-10 AMA 08/10/2018
  • Defends the Ouroboros rebuttal against Vitalik Buterin's Casper criticism and challenges him to go through the same peer review process.
  • Lays out the wallet roadmap: a new Rust based mobile client, plus Ledger and Trezor support expected around the Cardano 1.4 release.
63 timestamps 2:07:27 2018-07-07 AMA 07/07/2018
  • Frame Cardano's layered design, Plutus, Marlowe and the coming IELE virtual machine as a rigorous, peer-reviewed alternative to Ethereum's scaling limits.
  • Detail the Shelley decentralization plan for stake pools, delegation and Ouroboros, plus the Hydra scaling research beyond it.
84 timestamps 1:13:32 2018-01-11 IOHK 01/11/2018
  • A foundational talk framing three generations of cryptocurrency: Bitcoin's decentralized money, Ethereum's smart contracts, and a third generation defined by scalability, interoperability, and sustainability.
  • IOHK was built to close two deficits in the space, a peer review deficit and an engineering deficit, by building in Haskell with formal methods.
