Past Projects

The Google Graveyard's got nothing on mine...

Projects Sample:

• Commonwealth (2023/24): a democratized fiat monetary base, powered by a W3C DID rooted DAO-of-DAOs
  Solidity Go EVM Cosmos SDK Smart Contracts Identity Governance Insurance Economics
• Gno.land Hacking (2023) — Includes DAO-of-DAOs prototype with self-executing Proposals. Linked from awesome-gno repo.
  Go Gno/Gnoland Cosmos SDK tendermint2 Smart Contracts
• Shinyblocks (2023) — Typescript lib emulating ERC2535 internally. Made for Diamond contract development, but simplifies smart contract interactions in general.
  Typescript EVM ERC2535 Smart Contracts Library Toolkit
• Diamond Hardhat Starter Repo (2022) — Starter ERC2535 repo with tasks and tests defined. Linked from awesome-diamonds repo.
  Solidity Typescript EVM ERC2535 Smart Contracts Hardhat Template
• EVM Secrets (2022) — Secrets sharing both with and without replay protection. Inspired by ERC712. Made with ERC2535.
  Solidity EVM ERC2535 Smart Contracts Cryptography Privacy
• SlimeBrawlyBrawl (2022) — Unity game inspired by Super Smash Bros made as a single player endless runner. Early build on Steam.
  Unity3D C# Game Dev Game Publishing
• DFM/dfm-min (2022) — Think NPM for ERC2535. dfm-min is a minimized downloadable that provisions a diamond dev environment from a diamond.json config.
  Typescript Solidity EVM ERC2535 Smart Contracts Template Toolkit
• Updraft (Astro/Tailwind) (2022) — Simple/reusable components made with AstroJS. Leverages TailwindCSS.
  AstroJS TailwindCSS Web Apps Template
• Social Insurance 2.0 (2022) — Insurance as a unifying means to underwrite and secure social mobility, and redefine a sustainable social contract for the 21st Century. Became a structural foundation for Commonwealth.
  Insurance Sociology Theoretical Ontological Foundational
• CMesh (2022) — Inspired by NATS.io, CMesh was largely an excuse to use Go for a non-trivial project. The result: a nascent new DID-rooted intranet concept? Will return to.
  Go IRMA Identity Protocol Distributed Systems Message Streams Blockchain
• OneBook (2022) — Terraform monorepo codebook facilitating rapid deployment of greenfield side projects.
  Terraform IaC Infrastructure Template
• DEIT Accounts/Contacts (2022) — A full small business productivity suite made originally for crypto funds.
  Python Flask React SaaS Productivity Operations Inventory Leads Marketing
• Bottlecap/Deluge (2021) — Bittorrent Peerwire Protocol inspired p2p capital flow framework called Deluge. Current form (Bottlecap) is a DEX crammed inside an ERC20 token resulting from a ~2 day hackathon. Bad code, potentially neat idea.
  Solidity EVM ERC20 Smart Contracts Protocol p2p Microfinance Capital Flows
• Fractional Foundation (2021) — The project that would become the "capital model" of Commonwealth. A thought experiment/prototype for a new means to underwrite money.
  Solidity EVM Smart Contracts Model Theoretical Economics Fiat Currency Underwriting
• Op144 (2021) — Unity action RPG game inspired by Valheim built on a hexgrid and with APM synced to the music's BPM (144).
  Unity3D C# Game Dev Music
• CloutLegend (2021) — ERC721 contract that uses a random user API and mints NFT "business cards" with “clout” and “legendary” status. Included an NFT-to-NFT "social network" and ability to gamble clout for "legendary".
  Solidity EVM ERC721/NFT Smart Contracts Social Game Dev
• Chainlink Hardhat Hackathon (2021) — Chainlink VRF, Price Aggregator and API integration contracts & Hardhat tasks/tests.
  Solidity EVM Smart Contracts Chainlink Hardhat Oracles Hackathon
• RoomSim (2018/19) — Unity project aiming to create a simple p2p virtual shared space, including p2p voice chat. Ie: the "Metaverse" before the Metaverse, but more useful.
  Unity3D C# Virtual Worlds p2p Social
• Morpheus (2018) — Crypto price scraper & signals generator. Python ingests candle data and generates timeseries for every ta-lib indicator for every interval.
  Python Technical Analysis Financial Markets Charting Trading
• CosmoBots (2017) — A resource gathering, crafting and trading oriented RPG built as NodeJS Slackbots. Included a "contract" construct and mechanisms for p2p debt obligations.
  NodeJS Slack API Chatbot Game Dev p2p Contracts
• Random Hacking + Music (~2015-17) — Was working while playing with tooling/ideas, often enabled by AWS/Unity. Creatively spent more time with music as an outlet. See Artistic Creations.
  Music Throwaway Web Apps/Sites Early Unity3D Dabbling
• Yahoo! Pipes enabled social ETL pipelines (~2014) — Applied layers of logic and regex to sanitize regionalized feeds. Reduced process of curation/publishing for 8 accounts to a few button clicks.
  Yahoo! Pipes ETL Workflows Social Automation Publishing
• Githubberment (2013) — A proposed Github rooted means to achieve version controlled legislative consensus development and tag-based civic engagement feedback loops. A decade later, the ideas live on in Commonwealth.
  Consensus Development Theoretical Model Structural Process Foundational
• Newsasaur (~2011/12) — A tag oriented blog engine directly connected to a discussion forum, like HackerNews or Reddit paired with Blogger. Similar to Hashnode.
