Robin Upton grew up in UK and Denmark, went to university in UK and Germany where he studied a wide range of subjects, concluding with a computer go related Ph.D. He then took the red pill in the shape of a lot of self-directed internet study and frequent visits to Bangladesh.
In 2005 he developed Altruistic Economics, a decentralised accounting system, to allow individuals to keep track of their own dealings with one another without requiring a central authority. He has published plans for a decentralized internet gift economy, including an XML virtual machine designed to be connected with a Friend2Friend topology, about whch he spoke briefly at his first CCC in 2009.
His day job is teaching English, by night he is a guerilla gardener, permaculture researcher, producer of "Unwelcome Guests" (a weekly radio show of dissident ideas) and general e'er-do-well.
