https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/MAPPCryptoNFT
21:24 <~jokeefe> haven’t had a chance to update it in light of
srevilak’s suggestion
21:27 < Joe> I made some updates at the end, you like?
21:29 <~jokeefe> nice change
21:31 < Joe> Ty
21:33 < Joe> It looks good to me. Motion to accept?
21:34 <~jokeefe> Still focuses more on what we are against than what we
are for
21:34 < srevilak> I'd like to propose a change: Blockchain technologies
are fraud futures. Change "blockchain tech" -> cryptocurrency
21:35 < srevilak> (Had a very long night of deliberations and votes on
a town board last night. Brain is still slightly mushy.)
21:36 <~jokeefe> that sounds find, srevilak, though we have three
paragraphs that start with Cryptocurrencies/y
21:36 <~jokeefe> s/find/fine/g
21:37 < srevilak> Good point - merged that into one of the other
paragraphs
21:43 <~jokeefe> thanks
21:44 <~jokeefe> do the changes address your concerns srevilak?
21:45 < srevilak> I think that's good
21:46 <~jokeefe> any other changes needed?
21:46 < Joe> I like it.
21:47 <~jokeefe> malt?
21:48 <~jokeefe> Changed the first sentence of the last paragraph to:
By decentralizing technologies, the focus can be on autonomy, resilience,
protocols over products, and exercising our ability to tinker and improve>
21:50 <~jokeefe> Actually: By decentralizing technologies, the focus can
be on autonomy, resilience, protocols over products, and exercising our
ability to tinker and create.
21:50 < srevilak> That's good
