WAGMI Ventures PodcastWAGMI Ventures PodcastCreating Blockchains of the Future, with Patrick O'Grady (Commonware)Patrick O'Grady is Founder and CEO of Commonware, (https://www.commonware.xyz), an open-source set of primitives that developers can use to build and reassemble their applications without resorting to a complicated fork. Patrick shares his journey into crypto, building in the early days at Coinbase and thereafter joining Ava Labs, where he left to pursue his passion for simplifying blockchain development with the founding of Commonware. He discusses the importance of application specific blockchains, the modularity of Commonware and how it is being designed to be "the best verticalized stack" for building blockchain applications. 2025-04-1736 minDemise of the PodcastDemise of the PodcastEpisode 286 - Grady Hendrix's Witchcraft for Wayward GirlsIf you like Grady Hendrix, maybe skip this episode.2025-02-0854 minRadio Free DogpatchRadio Free DogpatchBurning Down the HouseYou think we’re shipping the wrong people to Guantanamo?

A vacationing wife. An acid flashback. Whatever. But when I blinked myself awake in the dark on Tuesday morning I had no idea where I was. If dementia runs in your family, as it does in mine, this can freak you right the hell out. But I found it oddly exhilarating. “Where am I? Who knows? Who cares? This is great!"

Watching Vice President Kamala Harris preside over the certification of the 2024 election results this week sent me careening down Memory Lane, revisiting a night in the sneezer in 1977, a Louis C.K. dramedy from 2016, and the last three pestilential erections.

Science (Fiction)!'I always liked science fiction. Science, not so much. Science always seemed rigid and impersonal. But science fiction, or speculative fiction, if you prefer — especially of the apocalyptic variety — spoke to the gloomy bog-trotter in my DNA. So I studied the fiction instead of the science, with predictable results. When it came time for me to go to college, there was only one in the state that would accept me with my miserable GPA. However, I was excused from freshman comp because I was a fool for words, as long as there were no equations to s...2024-12-1907 minRadio Free DogpatchRadio Free DogpatchThe Nanofesto: Writing a WrongWhen the John Laws collared their suspect in the CEO assassination he was said to have had in his possession a ghost gun, some fake I.D., and a 262-word "manifesto."

Whether on papyrus, stone tablets, or a shithouse wall was not made clear. What is abundantly clear, however, is that 262 words do not a manifesto make. And let me tell you why.2024-12-1205 minBell CurveBell CurveCommonware: Building the Anti-Framework | Patrick O’GradyIn this episode, we’re joined by Patrick O’Grady, Founder of Commonware!

Instead, a healthier approach would be to find the best solution for a specific need, taking into consideration any potential tradeoffs. Avalanche has done just that, focusing from the get-go on delivering high transaction throughput, using their unique subnet architecture, consensus protocol and warp messaging.
