TLS49: Paul Itoi on Stakwork, Sphinx Chat, Earning Bitcoin, and AI vs. Humans

Jun 1 2022 • 1hr 13m

Show Notes

Paul Itoi has built two of the most popular Lightning applications to date, Sphinx Chat and Stakwork. These platforms already enable people to chat and earn over the Lightning Network, and Paul’s vision for where these platforms will go next is incredible.
In our wide-ranging conversation, Paul and I discussed the concept of earning Bitcoin, how AIs and humans can work together to truly build a world computer, and how decentralized knowledge graphs can help people learn faster than ever.

if the stakwork task worker is anonymous, how can stakwork claim that workers are working a max of two hours a day? Can't a worker have multiple accounts?
