How would you address those open questions?
Right now we have been thinking about multiple use cases, one is just governance of the decentralized jurisdiction that the Aragon Network is, another one is upgradeability and sustainability for aragonOS app developers, another one is enabling validators to maintain our own chain, if we ever need to do so for scalability issues, etc.
At the end we are still early in the journey and we have to make DAOs happen before focusing on the Aragon Network. I'm very excited to start focusing on it fully, which will happen after our first release in a couple weeks.
If I could do something differently, it would be to be more careful about hiring since the first day. We had a couple bad hires that really impacted the progress of the project. On the other hand, that made us really improve the process and now hiring is the thing I'm most proud of.
- Keep: Privacy layer for the blockchain, so you can decrypt and encrypt stuff from a smart contract, for example
- district0x: Network to seamlessly run decentralized marketplaces
- Gems: Amazon Mechanical Turk on chain
- Decentraland: VR world in which you truly own your properties
- Stampery's new project, Witnet: Decentralized oracle network to witness any kind of data offchain
I look for founders who would still work in crypto if prices went down 90%, and I look for projects that are crypto only, aka with no bridges to the traditional world. Overall stuff that would fit into my cypherpunk vision of the world
I find thinking about handling reputation & access (e.g. code access permissions) within an organization to be incredibly interesting, but mind boggling at the same time. Figuring out a fair and decentralized (hard to corrupt) way to handle it seems like a reeeal toughy.
IMO it gets really interesting when you start thinking about managing *persistent* reputation across different platforms. It could be useful in so many ways...but it could also turn into that one episode of Black Mirror 🙃.
