Not surprising, since we’ve been working on it for months, and yet still weirdly shocking to see an idea come to life so beautifully. Thank you @okdistribute @kirakirawes and @ciex for making decentpatterns.xyz a reality. Let’s maintain this baby!

Why decentralised services stand a chance, built in economics that incentivise participation.
Nym has largely been focusing on its testnet, with node operators hosting them as a labor of love. Now @nymproject will reward operators using #bitcoin, rather than tokens. Report by @benjaminopowers trib.al/3r22r2Q

*Calling all designers* Our first event of 2020 is a collaboration with @simplysecureorg and the DOTS project. TWO workshops exploring design patterns for decentralized services. 23rd & 30th September. Find out more and register decentpatterns.xyz/virtual-w…
Thanks again to everyone that made it out to #DesigningDeFi last night. To reiterate a point from last night... if you’re writing about Decentralized design please get in touch. We’d love to publish more thoughts from the community!

Grateful for amazing speakers tonight, @achrisb88 from @MakerDAO, @janis__david from @mode_banking and @graemeblackwood from @argentHQ. Was amazing to take a design lens to #DeFi and look under the hood. Thanks also to @ConsenSys for hosting and @RMGDigitalUK for sponsoring!
Panel: How easy have you found it to hire design skills (research, design, content)? #DeFi

@graemeblackwood we’re distributed @argentHQ but we’re only in Europe so we can gather as a team once a quarter and do hackathons and build personal relationships. #DeFi

@graemeblackwood We’ve found it hard to find talent specifically when it comes to the design thinking plus the detail. We’ve been picky but it’s also a hard combination. @argentHQ #DeFi
@janis__david we’ve not found a shortage (we are hiring @mode_banking)! #DeFi
@achrisb88 we’ve had it easy @MakerDAO with a global design team and most inbound recruits. We work well across the globe. Applies to all our roles. Not having a fixed location makes it easier to recruit talent.
Panel: How do you make sure the design voice is not drowned out by the tech? #DeFi

@graemeblackwood we’re fortunate that one of our founders @argentHQ comes from a consumer facing background. The who co-founding team is very grounded in the user problems we’re solving. #DeFi
@janis__david we have those battles, also between legal and design, there are lots of guidelines we try to use to be more humane, and thinking about anticipating mistakes as well. #DeFi
@achrisb88 we’ve integrated the design team into the development team which is making it better. #DeFi

@janis__david says it is needed for kyc, key if you’re regulated that we can verify a person. Critical in a custodial solution like ours. @mode_banking #DeFi
@graemeblackwood we need it for some verification but we’re looking for alternatives so you can opt into giving us your number.
