We just launched a working Bitcoin sidechain based on @tendermint_team/@cosmos
If you want to have your first sidechain experience ever, try sending some testnet Bitcoin to your wallet on the sidechain: bitcoin.nomic.io/
The Nomic testnet is live!
You can deposit, withdraw, and transfer testnet Bitcoin right now.
Or fork it to build your own network with BTC as the native currency.

Next up: WebAssembly smart contracts, basic governance, and building some apps of our own.
We’re making it easy and fun to build proof-of-stake Bitcoin sidechains, holla if you wanna help.

prediction markets play games in real time.
the market is currently playing Ms. Pac-Man on Atari 2600, a popular benchmark for reinforcement learning algorithms, and streaming it on twitch.
the market “learns” by reallocating assets to better agents in the same way a brain allocates resources to more useful neurons.
in both cases, selfish agents are just trying to maximize their own influence, but contribute to a larger intelligence as an externality.
I've thought the same. Status is key to well-being & isn't zero sum. Modern society's ability to create more sources of status, via allowing diverse subcultures, is like printing free $ w/out inflation. Possibly one of modernity's most overlooked benefits.

Watch out #crypto gang! There's a new kid on the block. What're your choices for building a #blockchain & minting a #cryptocurrency? Fork #Bitcoin to create an altcoin? Create an ERC20? How about use a base layer blockchain framework like the Cosmos-SDK? bit.ly/2pbSSUE
