@frankcorva @OKIN_17 @newrencap @LNFlash @PoleVaultDream Well done! Looking forward to this 🏆

Last November, Jamaica was hit by a category five hurricane that leveled parts of the west side of the island. And not only was physical infrastructure affected, but the banking system stopped functioning in many parts of the island, as well, making it difficult to move the money coming in for aid. Jamaica's @LNFlash app, created by Dread (@PoleVaultDream), didn't stop working, though, and Dread and his team used the app to distribute the over $15,000 worth of bitcoin that was donated by the Bitcoin community to help the many people deeply affected by the hurricane to get food and resources in their hour of need. I recently sat down with Dread to discuss the relief effort he and his team have been a part of (it's still ongoing), how Bitcoin and other freedom tech not only helped in the wake of this storm but are now being implemented to help prepare for future storms like it, and why it was essential that Dread designed Flash in a way that Jamaicans would trust. While Dread's abilities as a developer are both tremendous and outstanding, they are only rivaled by the size of his heart, which is a large part what makes the work he does with Flash and beyond so special. Please enjoy this interview and give it some space to move and inspire you.

The CIA's venture capital arm funded the technology behind Pokémon Go. That's not conspiracy. It's public record. Niantic's founder John Hanke previously built Keyhole, a 3D satellite imaging tool funded directly by In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital arm. Keyhole was used to support US military operations in Iraq before Google acquired it and turned it into Google Earth. The same founder also led the Google StreetView WiSpy scandal, where Google cars secretly harvested emails, passwords, and browsing data from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks across multiple countries. Now look at Niantic's board. Gilman Louie, co-founder of In-Q-Tel, sits on the board of both Niantic and Vantor (the defense contractor Niantic just partnered with). Niantic's CTO co-founded Keyhole with Hanke after spending a decade at E-Systems, a military contractor later acquired by Raytheon. Another co-founder came from DARPA-funded Silicon Graphics, which built 3D graphics for defense systems. This was never a gaming company that pivoted to defense. The defense lineage was there from the beginning. Pokémon Go was the data collection mechanism. 30 billion images. Centimeter-level spatial accuracy. GPS-free navigation for autonomous weapons. Built by a team with direct ties to the CIA, DARPA, and Raytheon. The story isn't that Niantic tricked gamers. It's that the intelligence community found a way to crowdsource a centimeter-accurate map of the physical world by making it fun. Full report from @theragetech
