The status blog has some good posts covering daos+communities/wallets/zkproofs/clients => [LINK] [LINK] has lots of recordings of talks from their hackathons, their playlists split into different topics [LINK] is full of interesting discussions, organises meetups, more big picture discussions of the stuff web3/crypto is playing with I enjoyed this conversation with Stuart Brand (of Whole Earth Catalogue) from a few years ago, it lays the ground of what then became NFTs [VIDEO] [LINK] is a more technical forum to discuss eips [LINK] is a good podcast from some musicians interviewing people in the space. [LINK] Dom (creator of Vine) is constantly pushing novel toys on chain, i enjoy his playful approach to making stuff less serious. really though its a "get involved to understand" scene/subculture. if you can ignore the noise of markets/speculation/capitalism its a fun crowd poking around. Theres all sorts from content/identity/scaling/money stuff/games. it feels like playing an mmorpg. at some point it'll hit its eternal september moment but its been really great the past few years.

This looks great, certainly an influential mind. soundtrack by brain eno and a fun distribution model too! First time i have used mirror and it is very nicely made. For those interested in why this is connected to ethereum here is the keynote Stewart gave at devcon a few years ago on the connections between his thinking for the past 50 years and what eth does: [VIDEO]

we fail and fail and fail again. then we succeed. feels crazy i have to say this on HN. this place has really changed over the years. what happened to the whole earth quotes. "fail fast fail often" at least Stuart Brand is still daring to explore [VIDEO]
