  • Ep. 34 - Fundraising for Alexey Pertsev & Roman Storm's legal aid
    Feb 7 2024

    This week, Matthew and Brileigh are joined by Ameen Soleimani. Ameen is a co-founder of Spank Chain—a payment platform for the adult industry—co-founder of Iran Unchained, a non-profit providing humanitarian aid in Iran—and a member of Moloch DAO, which has provided funding for open-source projects on Ethereum, including Tornado Cash.


    In this episode, Ameen tells us about the recent history of Tornado Cash: how it got started, what led to the arrests of Roman Storm and Alexey Pertsev, and why Ameen is taking a stand to fundraise for their legal defense. With Alexey’s trial coming up in March 2024 and Roman’s later in the fall, legal expenses range from $90k - $100k/month. The next 6 months will be crucial in shaping their defense strategy and their arrests carry serious implications for developers’ rights to publish open-source software.


    Ameen and other supporters formed WeWantJusticeDAO which engaged an international team of legal counsel to represent Roman and Alexey. Justice DAO has launched a crowdfund on Juicebox and all funds raised until February 22nd will support the legal aid of Pertsev & Storm. Alexey and Roman need your help to defend the right to privacy and the right to publish code.

  • Ep. 33 - Decentralization and Intersectionality: Building an Equitable Future w/ Paff & Riley
    Dec 19 2023
    Description: This week, Matthew and Brileigh are joined by Paff and Riley. Paff is the co-founder of Take Up Space, a decentralized media company uplifting black, queer, and femme voices. Riley is the founder of Cloud Scouts, an onchain scout troop that helps members learn about web3 and meet like-minded people. In this episode we dive into Riley and Paff’s backgrounds and what they’re building at the intersection of web3 and social justice. We discuss the relationship between decentralization and intersectionality, building community in a sustainable way, and how crypto rails can lead to a more equitable future. They also tell us about their Pride Telethon project on Juicebox for which they hosted a 12-hour Twitter Space with all funds raised going towards queer creators and builders that appeared throughout the telethon. This conversation was recorded over a month ago, so the context of some subjects may have changed.
