Citizen Cosmos and OmniFlix Network: Conversations with Jack ft. Greg Osuri Akash Network, S1E1 (Citizen Web3)
“We got picked up by Thorchain… they were having an effort to decentralize because a lot of their nodes are running on Amazon… I reached out to them: look, we can run Thor nodes pretty well, how about doing a thing — and I gave a bounty… about four thousand dollars worth of RUNE tokens and AKT tokens just for writing a guide.” — 00:12:49
Context: Early instance of his recurring “crypto runs on centralized cloud” argument; he calls it “the first time someone else is paying or incentivizing to put their nodes on Akash” [00:14:12].
