Trust is a central issue for crypto adoption. On the bad side, unearned trust results in Ponzi schemes and artificially inflated valuations. On the good side, justified trust increases liquidity and price stability. One thing that increases trust is knowing that those who break trust will be brought to justice. https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/vppw91/us_doj_is_ramping_up_criminal_prosecution_of/ The counterpoint is that […]

I have been going as fast as I can trying to catch up. I am realizing there is no such thing. There is always more exciting, productive stuff to do than there is time to do it. This is the wild west and it is awesome! DeadmanDAO has a 3rd person working with us now. […]

Matt and I have completed our deliverables for our second iteration. We have a commit classifier notebook that hit 86.8% accuracy with 8 classes using Logit:https://github.com/Deadman-DAO/Web3HackerNetwork/blob/main/sandbox/notebooks/bob/commit_classification.ipynb We generated simplified hacker histories as a sum of each hacker’s commit classifications:https://github.com/Deadman-DAO/Web3HackerNetwork/blob/main/sandbox/data/bob/hacker_history.json And an analysis of the results compared to what you can currently get on GitHub:https://wiki.deadmandao.com/index.php/W3HN_Iteration_Two_Analysis We […]

DeadmanDAO’s Web3HackerNetwork effort is progressing well. We put the finishing touches on a clustering stage in our data science pipeline. This step of the analysis confirmed that the stats we are extracting from GitHub commit logs are giving us good information. You can see the notebook here: https://github.com/Deadman-DAO/Web3HackerNetwork/blob/main/sandbox/notebooks/bob/commit_clustering.ipynb

DeadmanDAO has been hard at work on the second iteration of our Web3 Hacker Network project. The data engineering stage starts with extracting stats on each of 2,629 commits in our first dataset on 39 projects. Then we move on to analyzing the stats and deciding which ones show potential to be features in the […]

Privacy coins are cryptocurrencies that intentionally make it difficult to track transactions. https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-privacy-coins Most cryptocurrencies use a public ledger; a central feature is the public record of the flow of value from one wallet to another. Growing Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements are making it much easier for governments to track […]

Today was exciting! Matt has been extracting statistics from 2,629 GitHub commits and I’ve been doing some feature engineering on the data. Today I did a K-Means clustering that is simply beautiful: https://wiki.deadmandao.com/index.php/W3HN_Iteration_Two#First_Clustering The commits were from projects that use Rust and React as their core languages. The computer created 5 clearly meaningful clusters (and […]

It’s fun to jump in they wayback machine and see what artificial intelligence was like in 1973. This debate was at the center of the UK shutting down their government funded AI research for a very long time. Much like the big chill Minsky and Papert put on neural network research with Perceptrons (notwithstanding its […]

Today we won our first grant, from OceanDao! In this iteration we will be creating an ML pipeline to generate embeddings for commits on GitHub projects. Those embeddings will act as input to future ML models that will let us match developers to projects, making it easier to recruit engineers that will be a good […]
