A number of the newsrooms launched by Civil, like @ColoradoSun, are still operating and doing great work. It's probably some of the most impactful ETH ever spent. Also, it is definitely time to bring back @Cellarius2084

Top 10 Failed ConsenSys Projects – their sacrifices were not in vain: 1. @Cellarius2084 - cyberpunk dystopia media franchise that would have made a billion dollars if it had survived until 2022 2. @civil - moonshot open journalism network. incredible twitter handle, terrible traction. 3. @trufflesuite - the OG solidity smart contract dev framework. trufflecon 2018 changed the course of my life. Truffle crawled so that forge & hardhat could run. 4. @MeridioRE - One of the first serious attempts at tokenized real estate. I was the only single user of their office space rental NFTs in 2018. h/t @corbpage who is still shipping cool stuff even today. 5. Planetary Resources - The original astroid mining company. It turned out no one wanted to invest in gold and rare metals which were 2.5 million miles away. h/t @interplanetary who is still cooking. All their IP is now in the public domain, a gift to humanity. 6. @tokenfoundry - the best ICO launchpad I ever used, which was dismantled because of internal fighting between leadership, or so I heard. Joe, bring it back. 7. Quorum - it was acquired from JPMorgan to help them save face, and then immediately dismantled. This taught us many lessons about how enterprise blockchain goes absolutely nowhere. 8. @uport_me - the original decentralized user owned identity system, a precursor to Privy and others which have been massive successes. 9. @UjoMusic - "Music on the blockchain". Another one that was just a few years too early. 10. @ethBounties - the bounty focused precursor to Gitcoin & others, created by @MarkBeylin. Another one that was just too early and I think could be huge today. Maybe @poidhxyz will carry on the ethos. Special thanks to d̶a̶d̶d̶y̶.. I mean @ethereumJoseph for funding all of these. Ethereum truly wouldnt be what it is today without these experiment which brought us here.
