The guy (nick szabo aka Kevlar) took about 60BTC from a member of the Feathercoin team to invest. After peddling his knowledge as a expert trader. Then disappeared not really a trustworthy guy.

Hmm i don't recall hearing about that ..but it's interesting info !

I also can't stand all the shit about "smart contracts"
It's just another word for ICO scam coin as far as i am concerned.

Nick Szabo mentions Ethereum's "advantages" over Bitcoin at the 13:30min point. Unfortunately he seems to be totally oblivious to the technical criticism we enumerated in the Ethereuem Paradox thread.

Edit: his pitiful defense of Oracles starting at 33:00min convinces me he is not grounded in any sense of reality of adoption.

See also more discussion at around 01:00:00.

58:00 - Block chains can't out perform Tx/sec of Visa w/o losing the trustless attribute. I will challenge him on that with my white paper and argue that we can't have the trustless attribute w/o scaling!

59:00 - He wishes Ethereum would not switch to proof-of-stake. He speculates about combining proof-of-work with proof-of-stake, but gives no details.

01:00:00 - he doesn't seem to recognize that Oracles entirely break Nash equilibrium. Sounds to me like they are just ignoring that this will only work with centralization.

Will there be an archive to view after the live presentation?

Please bump the thread just before the live presentation starts.

Yes, broadcast and archive. Will make a post shortly before the start - good idea.

I may watch too. It is usually worthwhile to listen to what Nick Szabo has to say
