There’s only so much to be said for retaining my curiosity after years and years of getting shouted about it by people who have no understanding of what they are peddling.

I’m actively involved in the space, I explored my curiosity through designing a few DApps, building some coins, the usual. The tech is interesting, the approach is worthwhile, the whole FOMO pyramid on top of it is just noise and I wish it would stop. I’ve never seen so much nonsense discussions about GSM, GPS or other widely used and useful systems.

When I talk to a crypto peddler, I never have to reach out for my know how as it’s never the case that the discussion progresses past THIS IS THE FUTURE NOW YOU GOTTA JUMP ON BOARD OR ELSE YOU MISS THE MOON TRAIN.

That's a good point.

I can really see how the constant hype and downplaying of downsides has fatigued a lot of technically minded people. If most of the discussions about a topic are over-hyped and on shaky ground, it makes sense to be skeptical about any new discussion. Especially if that new discussion is actually quite technical, and needs either niche mathematics or deep knowledge of existing blockchain.

That s like arguing that because things like scrum masters are a thing in the software world then the whole software industry is valuless bullshit

No, that’s like arguing that it’s bullshit to expect people to keep fighting whether SCRUM is bullshit or not.

When I go work for a company that does SCRUM, they inform me and I accept or not. I don’t expect to battle on ideas and wits regarding the subject and then one of us to declare defeated that there’s no longer curiosity regarding scrum mastering.

In these threads we usually only hear about Bitcoin and Ethereum, which is sort of like posting exclusively about scrum when the topic is "why are we as a community not having curious conversations about project management?"

But have your heard about my new project management style?

It’s called N.I.M-ble and it has some sort or people making sure the project moves along, managing expectations of both stakeholder and employees in the process.

The employees themselves do the work and also document it, maybe using some sort of cards, and push it forward in a shared view where everyone can get a good idea of there the project is.

It’s similar to traditional approaches, but we haven’t really had the technology to implement it yet as all tasks are encrypted as JSON files on the IPFS and have pointers to it on a custom made blockchain, which we call N.I.M.-chain.

Whenever a task gets pushed, a random person in India or Africa needs to shake their phone to acknowledge work has been done and the managers have to write slam-poetry on a public blockchain that is used as a decryption key for the task details as required by key shareholders. It doesn’t work on traditional companies, you need a DAO for it.

We also minted a NFT with the guidelines, it helped us secure about 20 mil in financing to further develop the tech but now we’re looking to launch an ICO to reach 100 mil because really, we are getting slower down by the slow progress in the management-tech space.

Is there a place to go to talk to other people like you? I would love to hear about your Dapps, what's working, what's not.

You can start your search on the Matrix official chat.

I’ve found a lot of interesting conversations in the distributed channels and IPFS channels, less so on company-focused or specific-blockchain-focused channels.
