Orie Steele, CTO of Transmute Industries. Orie is the creator of the Transmute Platform, a rapid application development framework for centralized, decentralized, and hybrid Ethereum applications and services. We discuss language features of Solidity, scalability paradigms such as Truebit, building blockchain architectures, and off-chain scalability. We pull from his cyber security training to talk about security and best practices in smart contract development.

Part of the Bitcoin Podcast Network, we have a new show where we interview Nick Johnson of the Ethereum Foundation. He talks about the Ethereum Name Service (ENS). ENS is bringing human-understandable naming to address resources both on-chain and off-chain. Nick is incorporating a new non-profit organization to support the efforts to build out a decentralized system for creating and managing these names. In addition, we pull from his expertise as go-ethereum engineer to get his take on dapp usability, solidity language quirks, blockchain scaling, and our blockchain-driven future.
