Unenumerated. An unending variety of topics. Blockchain, cryptocurrency, and smart contracts pioneer. (RT/Fav/Follow does not imply endorsement). 

Nick Szabo is a computer scientist, legal scholar and cryptographer known for his research in digital contracts and digital currency. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1989 with a degree in computer science. He holds an honorary professorship at the Universidad Francisco Marroquín.

The phrase and concept of "smart contracts" was developed by Szabo with the goal of bringing what he calls the "highly evolved" practices of contract law and practice to the design of electronic commerce protocols between strangers on the Internet. Smart contracts are a major feature of cryptocurrency and the programming language E.

Szabo influentially argued that a minimum granularity of micropayments is set by mental transaction costs.

At one time Szabo was a proponent of "extropian" life extension techniques.

This is a blog for everyday techies building real systems people use, and their still-with-it-and-technical CTOs. It's a blog for thinking people who want to build better systems. That often requires questioning current practices. I have worked hard to improve the state of the art in blockchain tech, as well as the overall cryptocurrency community.
