Episode 1 - Ian of Secretnodes.org
Hi 👋
I’m feeling excited to release the Staking Defense Podcast’s pilot episode. This episode features Ian, founder of Secretnodes.org.
Ian’s a very active member of the Secret Network’s (formerly Engima) community. He’s also a smaller, independent validator operator 💪
In this episode, we discuss -
How Ian got started validating
Secretnodes.org’s contribution to the Secret Network
Challenges he faces as a smaller, independent validator operator
Whether the Secret Network is welcoming to smaller, independent validator operators
Also, you’ll hear Ian reference raising a modest amount of VC funding. Since the episode was recorded, Ian informed me that he returned this funding.
I hope you enjoy this episode. Please remember that it’s a pilot episode and my first as a podcast host. I’ve already identified some areas that and benefit from improvement.
Along those lines, any and all constructive feedback is welcome!
#KeepStakeDecentralized 💪
