ABOUT THIS EPISODE

File storage has long been known as a centralized solution. Storj seeks to change this with their decentralized file storage and retrieval architecture. We'll go over their design, engineering goals, and challenges. We dive deep into how erasure codes can be used to mitigate replication requirements, how trust is managed on their decentralized platform, and how one can be incentivized to donate their storage space and bandwidth to the world through their network.

Hashing It Out #40 - Liam Horne - L4

Liam Horne is a developer, decentralization expert, and an open source entrepreneur with a focus on state channels. L4 and Counterfactual have released a new development playground that lets software engineers learn and play with state channels right from their browser. Liam gives us insights on what it's taken to get to this point, where the state of state channel development is right now, and where we're going with layer 2 solutions for scaling blockchains.

Hashing It Out #37 - Base Zero - Matt Zimmerman and Ken Sedgwick

Managing crypto keys is difficult enough for private holders, but when managing large portfolios of cryptocurrency assets on an institutional level, the risk surface increases tremendously. Base Zero has devised a suite of tools to manage multisignature signing over an air-gapped signing device and a sharded backup system to ensure security for large organizations. This unique approach enables these institutions to mitigate risk associated with large fund transfers without any one single person being able to compromise the system and with highly secured disaster recovery.
