An open platform for financial inclusion. Not run by Facebook.‍

Introducing OpenLibra

‍ OpenLibra is a technology platform and currency for financial inclusion. An alternative to Facebook's Libra, that places emphasis on open governance and economic decentralization. The OpenLibra project was formed by some of the best-in-class companies and non-profit foundations working in applied cryptography and blockchains. Our team members have previously scaled successful large organizations, raised tens of millions of dollars in funding, and launched some of the most respected blockchains technologies such as Ethereum, Cosmos, Wireline, and Radicle / Oscoin. Our strategy is to build on Libra’s strengths but extend it where needed. OpenLibra aims to be technically (Move Language) and financially compatible (Libra coin), embracing what is powerful, but also replacing what's concerning in a non-adversarial way. Our core team and community Lucas Geiger, Wireline Eleftherios Diakomichalis, Radicle Ethan Buchman, Cosmos Jae Kwon, Cosmos Sergey Nazarov, Chainlink Santiago Siri, Democracy Earth Michael Zargham, BlockScience Naol Duga Jebessa, Synestate Rick Dudley, Vulcanize Andrew Dickson, MathShop Adrian Brink, Web3 Giorgos Piliouras, Singapore University Althea Allen, Ethereum Foundation Kelsie Nabben, Ethereum Foundation Lane Rettig, Spacemesh Alex Tabarrok, George Mason University / Wireline Barnabe Monnot, Singapore University Sunny Aggarwal, Cosmos Zaki Manian, Cosmos Tony Arcieri, iclusion Alexis Sellier, Radicle Ankur Shah, MathShop Alex Shin, Hashed Adam Bornstein, Danish Red Cross Sofie Blakstad, hiveonline Dan Tsui, Kyokan What are the problems with Facebook's approach? ‍ Facebook and partners are creating a digital currency and banking ecosystem which will reach 4 billion humans. Their goal is to replace the existing financial infrastructure, and compete with traditional banks (and central banks) across the world. As designed, the Libra platform: ‍ - Will be distributed but not decentralized. - Will require permissions to interact with. - Will not have privacy guarantees. - Will be run by a plutocracy. ‍ A number of features of Libra are useful and perhaps transformative to the most vulnerable. But their stated plans may lead to worrying outcomes: ‍ - The Libra coin would be governed by a closed group of corporations. People around the world, even if not FB users, will be constituents of the Libra network, however will have no direct recourse to the policies of the association. If Libra becomes the internet’s central bank, the need for a more inclusive form of governance becomes urgent. - Value flows to the founders. Value created within the Libra ecosystem will be captured by the few corporations that are already part of the consortium. To date, Facebook has no plan for including more partners in the consortium or redistributing proceeds with more actors within their network. ‍ - Surveillance finance. One's ability to engage financially (e.g. borrow in Libra) will potentially be determined by their social graph and online activity. Despite pushback from nation-states, we believe that Facebook is likely to succeed in their goal. OECD Governments will be focused on their own outcomes, and in reality have little legislative power to leverage against a transnational force such as Facebook's Libra. For that reason we are creating OpenLibra. Get involved ‍👉 Contribute to our codebase 💻 👉 Partner with us ✌️ 👉 Follow our progress 🌈

Четверо предполагаемых партнеров OpenLibra опровергли свое участие в проекте

Автор инициативы по созданию альтернативной версии цифровой валюты Libra неверно представил информацию о некоторых участниках проекта. Так, представители Tendermint, Chainlink, Web3 Foundation и Hashed свое участие в нем опровергли, сообщает CoinDesk.

Ранее на этой неделе в ходе конференции Devcon5 в Осаке соучредитель Wireline Лукас Гейгер представил инициативу OpenLibra, призванную стать «неподконтрольной корпорациям версию Libra» от Facebook.

Как утверждалось, в команду разработчиков OpenLibra вошли представители различных блокчейн-проектов, включая Cosmos, Chainlink, Web3, Democracy Earth, а также некоммерческих организаций, таких как датский Красный Крест.

«Я участвовал в одном коллективном звонке. После этого я ничего не делал, и меня не спрашивали, прежде чем включить мое имя в слайды», — сообщил ведущий разработчик Tendermint Inc. Санни Аггарвал.

Аналогичные комментарии дали представители Chainlink, Web3 Foundation и Hashed. Две последние компании отметили, что их ошибочно связали с сотрудниками, которые в этих проектах больше не работают.

«Мы не против OpenLibra. Мы просто не являемся их частью», – заявил глава по коммуникациям Web3 Foundation Зеке Тернер.

Сообщается, что Лукас Гейгер уже принес официальные извинения за случившеес�� недоразумение.

В то же время девять представителей различных компаний и организаций подтвердили свое участие в проекте. В их число вошли Ethereum-разработчик Лейн Реттиг, директор Tendermint Заки Маниан, а также основатели Iqlusion, Vulcanize, BlockScience и HiveOnline. Все они заявили, что поддерживают OpenLibra индивидуально, хотя статус участия стоящих за ними компаний не уточнили.

Напомним, 23 октября в Конгрессе США состоятся посвященные Libra слушания, в ходе которых выступил глава Facebook Марк Цукерберг.

OpenLibra 4 olası ortağını kaybetti!

OpenLibra dört potansiyel ortağını kaybetti.

OpenLibra dört potansiyel ortağını kaybetti. Libra dijital para biriminin alternatif bir versiyonunu oluşturma girişiminin yazarı, proje katılımcılarının bazıları hakkında yanlış bilgi verdi. Bu nedenle, Tendermint, Chainlink, Web3 Foundation ve Hashed temsilcileri, projeye katılmaktan vazgeçtiler. Bu haftanın başlarında, Osaka'daki Devcon5 konferansında Wireline kurucu ortağı Lucas Geiger, Facebook'tan "Libra”’nın kurumsal olmayan versiyonu" olmayı amaçlayan OpenLibra girişimini başlattı. İddiaya göre, OpenLibra geliştirme ekibi, Cosmos, Chainlink, Web3, Demokrasi Dünyası ve Danimarkalı Kızıl Haç gibi kar amacı gütmeyen kuruluşlar gibi çeşitli blok zinciri projelerinin temsilcilerini içeriyordu. Sunny Aggarwal, “Bir toplu görüşmeye katıldım. Ondan sonra hiçbir şey yapmadım ve adımı slaytlara eklemeden önce bana sormadılar ”dedi. Benzer yorumlar Chainlink, Web3 Foundation ve Hashed tarafından sağlandı. Son iki şirket, bu projelerde artık çalışmayan çalışanlarla yanlışlıkla ilişkilendirildiklerini belirtti. “OpenLibra'ya karşı değiliz. Biz sadece onların bir parçası değiliz ”dedi. Lucas Geiger’in resmi olarak yanlış anlaşılmadan dolayı özür dilediği bildirildi. Chainlink CEO'su Sergey Nazorov ile beraber bir muhabirle yapılan Telegram mesajında, Geiger şöyle dedi: “Aceleci bir materyal hazırladık ve ekibim ortaklarım ve potansiyel ortaklarımın bir listesini aldı ve siteye yerleştirdi. Şimdi kaldırıldı. Bunun sebep olduğu sorun için özür dilerim. Daha yakından incelemeliydim.”

9 Temsilci Katılımlarını Doğruladı

Ethereum geliştiricilerinden Libra ile ortaklık beklenirken Lane Rettig'den OpenLibra için projeye dahil oldukları haberi geldi. Aynı zamanda, çeşitli şirket ve kuruluşlardan sekiz temsilci daha projeye katılımlarını doğruladı. Bunlar arasında Tendermint direktörü Zaki Manian ve ayrıca Iqlusion, Vulcanize, BlockScience ve HiveOnline kurucuları yer aldı. Hepsi, arkasındaki şirketlerin katılım durumu belirtilmemiş olmasına rağmen, OpenLibra'yı bireysel olarak desteklediklerini belirtti.   Read the full article
