Scouting report
Augur cofounder & Founders Fund partner — early Bitcoin/crypto builder
assessed from open-source footprint
Joseph carries an unusually senior profile: cofounder of Augur and a Founders Fund partner, with 108 merged PRs and early hands-on crypto work like MariPoSa (a 2014 Android Bitcoin POS with BLE/NFC payments) and BLE transactions added to Mycelium's wallet. His own repo stars are low and recent commit volume is light (16 last year, much of it forks), so the value is strategic/founder-grade experience rather than active IC output. Best for advisory, founding, or senior crypto-product roles.
