There’s also the WSJ report categorizing many ICOs as having red flags.

Very cool!
Real life solarpunk: neighborhood microgrid in Brooklyn:
Solar Experiment Lets Neighbors Trade Energy Among Themselves
In a promising experiment in an affluent swath of the borough, dozens of solar-panel arrays spread across rowhouse rooftops are wired into a growing network. Called the Brooklyn Microgrid, the project is signing up residents and businesses to a virtual trading platform that will allow solar-energy producers to sell excess-electricity credits from their systems to buyers in the group, who may live as close as next door.
The project is still in its early stages — it has just 50 participants thus far — but its implications could be far reaching. The idea is to create a kind of virtual, peer-to-peer energy trading system built on blockchain, the database technology that underlies cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Lucky me! On my visit to KW I celebrated my first Canadian Thanksgiving 🍁🌻🍂with my KW office. It was also Octoberfest officiated with @justinpjtrudeau as Tapmaster. 🍻I am pretty sure the French he was speaking translated to "Welcome to Kitchener Gloria, you are welcome anytime, stay as long as you like." Or something like that! 🇨🇦 #octoberfest #kitchener #kitchenerwaterloo #primeminister #lucky #lifeatsquare (at Square Canada)
