Tari - Reading Assignment

[rickyd]

1. From the ‘About’ page: read about the 3 co-founders. What are their areas of expertise and relation to Monero?
   It looks like the ‘About’ page is gone.
   Ricardo Spagni- Monero core development team
   Dan Teere- Entrepreneur, ticketing industry
   Naveen Jain- Tech entrepreneur, early monero miner

2. From the ‘FAQ’ page: what types of digital assets are given as examples?
   FAQ page is also gone. From the video of Ricardo’s presentation: Loyalty points, in-game purchases, software licenses, collectibles, STO’s.

3. From the ‘FAQ’ page: How is Tari connected to Monero?
   From what I can tell, it is connected through a close relationship with the development team, and through merge mining and using the Monero coin in the Tari ecosystem. Tari is a ‘Privacy Trojan Horse’. Tari seeks to provide an amazing use case and UX for people who wouldn’t otherwise be concerned enough about privacy to use Monero. Through the Tari ecosystem, users are by default exposed to Monero.

1. From the ‘About’ page: read about the 3 co-founders. What are their areas of expertise and relation to Monero?
Naveen Jain is a serial entertainment industry entrepreneur which I believe addresses the user end and mass appeal of Tari. Riccardo “fluffypony” Spagni was one of Monero’s core developers and has been one of the few who gave a face to the people behind Monero. Dan Teree is the founder of Ticketfly and perhaps has a perspective on cutting out the middleman in regards to ticketed events and where/how to spend loyalty points.

2. From the ‘FAQ’ page: what types of digital assets are given as examples?
From the FAQ, digital assets include tickets, in-game items, loyalty points, and crypto-native assets like CryptoKitties.

Tari wants to merge-mine with Monero because of care for decentralization, the ideology behind Monero, and Monero is a great foundational security layer.

[Brijay]

1. Tari is connected to Monero by having many of the same community members and developers. They also have many of the same principles and discuss technical issues. They carry-out atomic swaps (cryptographically powered smart contracts which enable two parties to exchange different cryptocurrencies/tokens without the risk of one party defaulting on the trade) with each other. Tari Labs pays for Monero’s CDN (Content Distribution Network) and supplies a slush fund for Monero’s CCS’s (Community Crowdfunding System). Tari also supports Monero Research Labs’ events.

2. Digital assets are entities which consumers can purchase or pay to use, but which exist permanently in digital form. They are related to DRM’s (Digital Rights Management) in the sense that DRM controls access to this technological, copyrighted material.

3. Riccardo says that Tari is a “privacy Trojan horse” because it will encourage individuals into an ecosystem where Monero is accessible to them, without them realising it.

4. The incentive for copyright holders (like movie studios) to use Tari is that they can prove they own an asset in a verifiable manner and trust that the assets cannot easily be copied. Also, because if they decide to transfer that asset, the can do so using rules which remain permanent.

[aryakrishna]

i havent been able to play the video, already try in Brave and Mozila, so i try to sums the knowledge from everyotherelse resources, hope it suits enough the answer

1. Tari are made by users of Monero, so they share the same philosophy, which is doing one job and doing it well. While Monero is a privacy focused cryptocurrency, Tari is a digital assets focused protocol. For that, Tari is being build as a merge-mined sidechain with Monero.
2. Digital Assets are things that people can buy or earn but exist entirely in digital form, and Digital Rights Management(DRM) removes usage control from the person in possession in digital content and put it in the hand of a computer program, so Digital Assets is a more advanced and specific type of DRM
3. Through beautiful user experience pattern and references design that help developer obfuscate complexity, and tooling that makes it easy to create successful applications, The Tari protocol is a privacy trojan horse, cuz without having any complexity, people goes private on auto mode
4. Copyright holders can achieve more revenue and prevent the hijacking of their assets that usually causes them big lost each times assets released
