DavidJohnstonCEO/DecentralizedApplications Scale of social structures - Tibi's philosophy Humans are social creatures. We live in groups. We use our social abilities to increase our overall capacity, to improve our potential, while being part of families, clans, tribes, communities, states, or economic continental regions. The potential of a group of three individuals can be greater than the sum of the potentials of the same three operating individually, assuming that they all have some drive and that they maintain a relation that favors collaboration. As we increase the size of the group, the dynamics between members changes and the effectiveness of the group can diminish. According to the size of the group, different types of roles, relations, rules and norms, protocols and tools are needed at different scales in order to maintain the advantage of the group over the sum of its parts.

This Worker-Owned Tech Startup Found Investors — and Kept Its Values This piece was written by Nathan Schneider for Yes! Magazine. Perhaps you remember the scenes, during the Occupy movement in 2011, of hundreds or thousands of people making decisions together in parks and squares. Loomio, as their creation is called, has already enabled thousands of groups to deliberate, debate, and make decisions online. Loomio’s values have won it a devoted user base. But this won’t work for a mission-driven co-op. In recent months, Loomio has raised nearly half a million dollars without giving up control. Nathan Schneider: Since it emerged out of the Occupy experience, how far has Loomio come? Ben Knight: When we got a prototype up and running in 2012, it was immediately clear that it’s not just activists who need to make decisions together. People have used Loomio to make more than 40,000 decisions in more than 100 countries, and our international community has translated the software into 35 languages already. Schneider: What came next?

#THEDAO: Broken, but worth fixing | Preston J. Byrne tl;dr – there’s a thing called THEDAO, and it’s almost irredeemably broken. In many, many ways. This blog post doesn’t discuss the economic or game-theoretic aspects of its brokenness – this piece by Bitshares’ Dan Larimer over at Steemit.com does so very capably, so there’s no need to duplicate that work. My expertise in this field relates to how people use blockchains to automate organisational governance, and in particular, legal aspects surrounding their use. So the rest of this blog post focuses on that. Suffice it to say, none of the below is intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal advice. So. a) is a D.A.O.? Paul Vigna at the Wall Street Journal called it a “chiefless company”; Fortune called it a “blockchain Venture Capital Fund.” “D.A.O.” means “Decentralised Autonomous Organisation.” automate organisational governance; andrun on a peer-to-peer network. Once you start thinking like that, Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO) Software that runs on a blockchain.

How Medium Is Building a New Kind of Company with No Managers Editor's Note: Medium has since changed the way it runs the organization as it's scaled. You can read about how they're approaching management now here. After Ev Williams first started working on Twitter, he reached out to Jason Stirman in Texas. “You have to come out here,” Williams said. “Twitter is happening and we want you to join us.” The next time Stirman had the chance to follow Williams, he didn’t hesitate. But Medium isn’t just taking a revolutionary approach to digital publishing — it’s changing the way companies operate too. Traditional management just didn't agree with me. For two years, Stirman managed a team at Twitter and never felt quite right about it. “Management perspective looks at reports as resources — like how can you get the maximum value out of this person,” Stirman says. Frustrated with poor results, he decided to go off script. Whenever problems popped up, I’d totally ignore them and pay attention to the people who had them. Holacracy from Scratch

DAOs, DACs, DAs and More: An Incomplete Terminology Guide One of the most popular topics in the digital consensus space (a new term for cryptocurrency 2.0 that I’m beta-testing) is the concept of decentralized autonomous entities. There are now a number of groups rapidly getting involved in the space, including Bitshares (also known as Invictus Innovations) developing “decentralized autonomous companies”, BitAngels’ David Johnston with decentralized applications, our own concept of decentralized autonomous corporations which has since transformed into the much more general and not necessarily financial “decentralized autonomous organizations” (DAOs); all in all, it is safe to say that “DAOism” is well on its way to becoming a quasi-cyber-religion. However, one of the hidden problems lurking beneath the space is a rather blatant one: no one even knows what all of these invididual terms mean. Smart contracts One example of a smart contract would be an employment agreement: A wants to pay $500 to B to build a website. Autonomous Agents
