  • IO Radio #4 - The Filecoin Controversy - Interview with Kevin Mauro
    Mar 29 2023
    An odd post on the /r/Buttcoin subreddit led us to look into FileCoin and the man making serious allegations about the file storage crypto project. We talk to Kevin Mauro, creator of the website dukedupe.com, to find out why he's willing to go so far as to drive a van around Duke University to call attention to their endowment's supposed connection to FileCoin. Is crypto incentivizing the distribution of harmful, illegal, and exploitative material online or are innovative technologies being criticized based on speculation and circumstantial evidence?

  • IO Radio #5 - We React To "Dear Elizabeth Warren" - A Bitcoin Propaganda Film
    May 2 2023
    There appears to be a sizable amount of resources being pumped into producing these pro-Bitcoin propaganda films. This one was released recently, making some serious claims about Senator Elizabeth Warren and whether Bitcoin is in fact good for energy production instead of being criminally wasteful. Now you can see both sides as we react to this new video. My apologies if the audio levels are a bit wonky on this - I made some mistakes during the recording and hopefully fixed them as best I could (and will do better for future episodes).
