On this episode of BlockChannel, McKie continues his journey of solo hosting and brings back an old favorite on the show, Cameron Hejazi of the Cent Network. Cent has been a pioneer in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2017 with the launch of their micropayments focused social network. Since their inception, they were one of the first to introduce NFTs into a social platform; even introducing the ability to turn tweets into NFTs (famously used by Jack Dorsey to sell his first tweet for $2.9mill). As we ramp up for the next stage of innovation in crypto, Cameron is back to give us insights into what comes next.

On this episode of BlockChannel, McKie and Dr. Petty are back, even though this episode was filmed in December before Christmas. We finally go in-depth with HandyOSS, the all-in-one suite for building on a cohesive DWeb enable stack. Alex Smith breaks down the HandyOSS teams motivations for building HandyHost (of which Steven McKie is also a part of), and details how and why these abstractions were necessary to bridge crypto to the future. Alex Smith is an ex-NASA/JPL engineer, "computational physicist", and all around brilliant polymath who is ensnared by the ethos of equality and self-soverignty. They also discuss future plans for building systems that will hybridize the emerging decentralized web with permaculture and food sustainablity.
