Your Questions for Amanda Johnson Interview

in fort-galt •  8 years ago  (edited)

I'll be interviewing Amanda on Sunday so if you have anything you'd like me to ask her, just reply below. It's because of her that I met @onceuponatime and learned about Steemit so I'll be sure to thank her for that, right off the top, of course.

She chose Dash, chose what she wanted to do and proposed it to the Dash Blockchain Funding Platform as I like to call it for funding, she succeeded. I wish more coins would be this awesome and promote growth from within so we can stop seeing crypto space be rigged in the favor of the smartest hackers or the biggest whales.

Can I interview you too, @thedashguy ? You seem ready to go. :D

Dont forget to check out the interview i did with her recently. http://dashpaymagazine.com/index.php/2016/06/09/dashcast-ep-02-interview-amanda-b-johnson/

Ill gladly answer your questions but im no media face like Amanda so don't expect me to do any videos or anything :) im just a guy, spreading Dash and building websites like dashnation.com

Okay, well, feel free to suggest any points to cover when I talk to her. She does a great job of speaking for herself but I love all the ideas that you guys have been tossing in here. Should be fun :)

First off its great to see her back on YouTube (good luck with her show on the Dash channel)

Q1
Does she have any other presenting work lined up or is she exclusive to Dash now?

Q2
Does she blog or write articles? If so, where can we read her stuff? It would be great if she posted to Steemit, I'm sure it would get lots of upvotes ($$$!)

You can read her "contract" details here - https://www.dashwhale.org/p/dash-youtube-show - I dont think it makes her exclusuve to Dash, but conflicts of interest will most likely be frowned upon by masternode voting party.

She wrote this recently.

I'd hope the dash community would take the broad view on Amanda's participation in the wider crypto space. The more she's seen as a respected sage and advocate for crypto generally the better it reflects on them (given she's nailed her colours to their mast, so to speak).

I can speak for myself in that i wouldnt mind her doing work for other projects. Shes a great spokesperson for the industry as a whole.

If I become a Steemit Millionaire one day, I'm moving to Fort Galt.

lol Right on. We have residential lots as well as suites in the main building for around $40k right now so you wouldn't even have to be a millionaire ;)

Why did she tank the Daily Decrypt? I understand that she said that she was moving on, but couldn't they have found a successor like the Daily Show did when Craig Kilborn and Jon Stewart left.

Yup, I'll definitely ask that.

Also, is she taking applications for the job? lol

I bet I can set that up. We can coordinate on slack.

I'm sure she would love to! She's on the Dash Slack over at https://digitalcash.signup.team/ if you can't catch her.

I would like to know what is she up 2 now and how much money was she making from suscribers and youtube ads...

Thanks and make sure to post your interview afterwards!

I certainly will.

Does she have a presence on steemit?

No, but if she shows any interest, I'll be happy to help her jump in.

You know its her favorite because they pay her, right?

I'll let her speak for herself. She's good at that.

She is actually paid by the 10% of the block reward we use for our budget after 45% goes to Masternode owners and 45% to miners. She was voted in with her business idea and is being funded month-to-month and its a wonderful concept in my opinion. If only other cryptos would be so inclusive of the community and provide tools for success of the masses.

Anyways, you can see her Pilot episode which got her (along with her resume & daily decrypt resume) approved for funding by the blockchain here: http://www.dashnation.com/education/proposal-dashs-youtube-show-w-amanda-johnson/

Any other insinuations?

"If only other cryptos would be so inclusive of the community and provide tools for success of the masses."

Don't forget that any crypto community can join us weekly to talk about their own projects for beyond bitcoin's weekly hangouts! We have been doing it for now 160 episodes that often reach upwards of 2 hours each much of the time. So we have a very inclusive project in bitshares and have had it since nearly day one!

I'm not insinuating, I'm declaring. I've listened to her show. It said, "Today's episode is sponsored by Dash."

Awesome! :)

I can pass the message along, she's focusing on her new show currently though: http://www.dashnation.com/opinion/dash-detailed-stands-digital-currency-mass-adoption/

Great Interview.. I just watched it. I'm very happy to see Amanda come back to us...

Of course, thanks for letting Amanda know about Steemit.

I could detect a little concern in her voice when she said Web Wallet. If it ever comes up, please consider that our design for the web wallets (Steemit and Bitshares) involves having very little information on the server. With Steemit high value (spending) keys are kept only in ram. The auto-login is only for posting. Finally, guess what??? ... With something like IPFS, we may see a version of this wallet become frozen in time (basically hack proof) openly auditable, and be web based all at once. This would use a plugin in the browser that can verify the wallet's files.. This is not a huge step ... :smile: I think if Amanda knew more about this strategic direction she might like the idea.

Also, if your account is or becomes valuable you can change the owner and active keys but leave the web key for posting. Our cli wallet works with remote websocket so you do not have to download the entire chain to do this.

To scale or not to scale? Bitcoin I mean..
