Decentralised Theatre - State of the market

Welcome to “Decred and the State of the Market,” hosted by Exitus and PhoenixGreen. In this session, we’re dissecting the implications of the recent AWS infrastructure outage — an event that highlighted the ongoing tension between decentralisation and convenience in the crypto industry.

We’ll look at which services were affected, what it tells us about the current state of Web3 infrastructure, and how Decred’s model provides a path toward greater autonomy and reliability.

Privacy discussion - https://x.com/Dashpay/status/1978471834954981525. Very interesting discussion, One interesting thing came up about privacy was the way that users connect to a blockchain and transact.

• Downloading and maintaining software
• Connection to the blockchain and network peers
• Anonymity - Earning, mining, staking, tips. Anything that keeps you off centralised structures
• DEX trading
• Privacy preserving communications
• Fiat End points - Buying and selling. Is a huge threat to user privacy
• Send - Receive - Amounts (new addresses and mixing)
