Charles Hoskinson teases the Cardano community with more talk of birds, this time in a tweet featuring an image of an exotic bird pictured next to John Hancock. The text accompanying it read: “ For some reason, I have this strong desire to tweet these two pictures. Must be the blending of my ornithological endeavors with my love of 18th century American history.

Cardano (ADA) CEO, Charles Hoskinson, now has a verified Twitter account. However, the account verification came only after his multiple threats to leave the platform. Hoskinson has been trying to get verified on Twitter for years. He even informed the Cardano community that he is considering leaving Twitter permanently. Number in Charles Hoskinson's Twitter bio. Posted by just now. Number in Charles Hoskinson's Twitter bio. Charles has '8830 AC64 17F2 5164 195C 05DE 21E3 E377 13E1 5586' in his profile. What exactly is this number? Some sort of public key? I know Cardano can be used for verification is that what this is?

Charles Hoskinson (born November 5, 1987)[1] is the founder of Cardano[2] and co-founder of Ethereum,[3][4][5] which are both cryptocurrencies.[6]

Career[edit]

He attended Metropolitan State University of Denver and University of Colorado Boulder to study analytic number theory.[7]

In 2013 Hoskinson quit a consulting job to begin a project called the Bitcoin Education Project. According to Hoskinson, 'the limited supply makes [Bitcoin] like digital gold'.[8][9]

Ethereum[edit]

Hoskinson joined the Ethereum founding team (one of eight original founders) with Vitalik Buterin in late 2013.[4] Hoskinson left Ethereum in 2014 after a dispute about accepting venture capital and need for a more formal governing structure.[4][10] Following his departure from Ethereum he took a six month sabbatical.[8]

IOHK & Cardano[edit]

Hoskinson was approached by former Ethereum colleague Jeremy Wood to form a new project called IOHK (Input Output Hong Kong), an engineering and research company that builds cryptocurrencies and blockchains.[8] IOHK's key project is Cardano, a public blockchain and smart-contract platform that hosts the ADA cryptocurrency.[8][11]

In 2018, Hoskinson told The New Yorker that 'I'm basically a billionaire. At this point, I couldn't care less about those six months of my life with Ethereum.'[10] Charles Hoskinson claims Cardano is more energy efficient than Bitcoin.[12]

BitShares[edit]

Hoskinson co-founded BitShares, which is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange that is part of the Microsoft Azure blockchain.[13] According to Hoskinson, it organized as a 'decentralized autonomous corporation' (DAC).[14][better source needed]

University involvement[edit]

In 2017, Hoskinson and IOHK sponsored research labs focusing on blockchain technology at the University of Edinburgh and the Tokyo Institute of Technology.[15][16] In 2020, Hoskinson opened a blockchain research project at the University of Wyoming. The collaboration involved a gift of $500,000 for the University of Wyoming to support the development of blockchain technology through the creation of a UWYO-IOHK Advanced Blockchain and Development Laboratory. IOHK also has ties to the University of Edinburgh with their Chief Scientist, Aggelos Kiayias[17][18]

Views on Bitcoin[edit]

According to Hoskinson, Bitcoin's growth in power consumption (see Bitcoin#Energy consumption) has been inevitable stating: 'Bitcoin's energy consumption has more than quadrupled since the beginning of its last peak in 2017 and it is set to get worse because energy inefficiency is built into bitcoin's DNA'.[12] When confronted with a University of Cambridge study showing Bitcoin's 110 TWh annual energy consumption Hoskinson commented 'That’s an unfathomable amount of electricity'.[19]

  • Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson could leave Twitter and other social media platforms if scams continue to be not thwarted by the platforms.
  • IOG and Hoskinson are investigating the possibility of a lawsuit or class action lawsuit to hold Twitter and other social media platforms accountable for scams.

Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of IOG, has talked about scams and “blue checkmarks” in a new video. As the creator of Cardano (ADA) explained, “giveaway scams” emerged 4 to 5 years ago and have since then become a serious issue for the entire crypto scene. Scammers impersonate Hoskinson, Vitalik Buterin, Elon Musk, Adam Back or another well-known figures from the crypto space on social media platforms, such as YouTube or Twitter.

The scammers ask users to send crypto to a foreign address and promise them that they will receive a larger amount back. However, this transaction fails to materialize, while the gullible lose their funds. A lot of responsibility falls on the major social media platforms when, for example, a “fake Elon Musk” can get a blue checkmark, or a fake Daedalus wallet makes it to the Google Play Store. On Instagram, there is currently a Charles Hoskinson account with 12,000 followers.

Ultimately, the Twitter hack and subsequent giveaway scam involving the accounts of Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Barack Obama and others “on a national scale” showed that Twitter undeniably knew about the issue without taking action. Since Twitter, like other platforms, is doing nothing, the responsibility may lie with him, Hoskinson said. Via Twitter, he wrote to his 256,000 followers:

If there is no path to verification, then I’m considering leaving Twitter. It seems to be the only way to resolve the impersonation issues. I’m disappointed with @Twitterthey just don’t seem to care about fraud, scams, and impersonation.

In addition, Hoskinson could also withdraw from all other social media platforms to expose scam:

Maybe the solution for me is to simply leave all social media to begin with. And then we can broadcast through our official accounts that every single Charles Hoskinson Facebook page, Instagram page, Twitter feed, YouTube channel is simply fake. Maybe that’s the solution that we’re forced to do – self de-platforming.

Is the Cardano inventor taking legal action like Ripple did before?

In the new video, Hoskinson also revealed that IOG is on the search for a new employee with a law enforcement background, a former FBI agent or a former law enforcement officer, who will be responsible only for detecting and preventing fraud on social media.

On the other hand, IOG is currently internally evaluating whether it makes sense to bring a lawsuit or class action against the social media platforms as a company or an entire industry. As Hoskinson elicited, Ripple and Steve Wozniak have had “huge success” with this.

Cardano Transactions Per Second

If we can determine that these companies are profiting from scam through ad revenue, directly or indirectly – there’s definitely a torque there. And perhaps after a class action lawsuit, perhaps after an enormous negative press, they will take this issue seriously because I am tired of getting emails every single day from victims.
