      amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf I have not read the report, but also presenting *this* technology in the context at ONA and with that intro gives it a much larger platform, higher visibility for approval, and chance of adoption than releasing it in a larger report. Accordingly it deserves special attention.

    amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf I'm sure that you of all people understand that the stage and spot given to you at ONA means what you choose to present there has a much higher impact than in any report; and that decisions are made on the basis of such presentations.

      amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf Putting aside my objections to this particular technology and cryptocurrency in news organizations in general, assessing and either refuting or approving presentations and speeches on ONA's stage is an essential journalistic function well within any media-on-media site's mandate.

        amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf As to Subtweeting - my objections were to the article, but generally I feel it is bad form to tag in people who I disagree w/every time I disagree w/them, I had something to say with general relevance and don't like don't like potentially annoying someone who hasn't asked for it.

          amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf On the rest: 1. There are obvious technical obstacles this article already notes. Current head has already failed to run a business. I've not read the details in your report, but on these bases alone, not noting even ethical concerns and audience qs, 'best' would seem superlative

            amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf 2. I agree, that's what the article (sort of) and I am doing. My style is perhaps untraditional, but I think my analysis is relevant and comes from both technical and business knowledge.

              amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf 3. I don't think that's the claim at hand here. No one has said this will save news. I *will* say I think it has the potential to heavily damage it and the relationship between news organizations and readers. Not to mention actual physical danger.

                amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf 4. I'm not doubting there are some uses to DLT for news orgs. Just anything involving cryptocurrency isn't going to work. 5. That's irrelevant to dealing with what's said in a different context. Also neither its cost, nor its distribution particularly weighs in on its accuracy.

                  amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf As I said, I haven't read the report so I'm not saying it is or is not inaccurate one way or another. I'm just saying it's not particularly relevant to this context and what was said at the noted event, which most are likely to take in without referring to a long report.

                    amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf As for my objections to the company itself, they're outline in the top thread, I remain convinced all of them are relevant and concerning.

                      amywebb celrae newsbyschmidt ONAConf If you requested it, I'd be glad to examine your report and publicly redline it, but in your shoes I'd find such behavior to be... harass-y and obnoxious. So I don't do that. I mostly just deal with published news articles that are intended for public discussion.
