Tezos

For work and play, I participate in the Tezos ecosystem. Tezos is a proof-of-stake blockchain with on-chain governance. In a nutshell, this means that it requires significantly less compute than proof-of-work blockchains (such as the one Bitcoin is based on) and it is less likely to breakup into other projects (fork) because the community gets to vote on the direction.

1. Packages

I maintain my own packages of Octez (the reference Tezos blockchain software):

• Debian and Ubuntu packages of the Octez software

2. Writing

I occasionally produce articles on Tezos including:

• Double Baking and Remote Signers (with Roland Dowdeswell) - on the issue of Double Baking and testing a new version of the Tacoinfra Remote Signer.
• Setting up a Tezos Node in 5 steps - a quick HOWTO for setting up a Tezos node using my packages.
• Setting up a Tezos Baker in 5 steps - a guide to set up a baker using a Ledger hardware wallet.
• Setting up a Tezos VDF Service - a guide on using VDF

3. NFTs

On Tezos, objkt.com is the place to start for NFTs.

• My NFT collection (drchris.tez)
• Some old photos, minted experimentally as NFTs (physicalphotez.tez)
