Today’s show is still mostly about Ethereum, as Devcon is still going on in Prague with plenty of news to talk about. The most important one in my opinion is something that’s flying a little bit under that radar, but it marks a huge milestone. It came from Hoard, a company you might have not heard about. Hoard released a new game yesterday, Plasma Dog, and what makes it very special, is that it’s built on OmiseGO’s Plasma MVP, in fact it is the first live Plasma proof of concept ever created. It runs on the OMG Plasma testnet.
MetaMask, a browser extension for Chrome and others has been the most important gateway to using decentralized applications on the Ethereum network. MetaMask has become better and better over the years, but it has frightening issues. The worst issue, by far, was that website could simply ping MetaMask for the associated Ethereum addresses, public keys, so any website could have access to the users’ balance, and transaction history. This was known for some time, and MetaMask is finally fixing it.
And lastly, John McAfee announced this 2020 bid for US presidency. The popular billionaire and troll extraordinaire doesn’t actually want to win the office, but he thinks a presidential campaign is the best platform to promote cryptocurrencies.
