“We went radically open… we open sourced the process itself… everything we do except for personnel issues is open… right now there are about 229 active contributors to Akash, [of] which 20 of them belong to Overclock Labs — 90% of contributors for Akash Network are outside the company that created it… Overclock can disappear today and Akash will still operate.” — 00:42:43
