it is not too late to quit your job to help build the future of money, markets, and capitalism with solana the window for asymmetric upside won't remain forever I am hiring sr. engineers, BD, and product at @Helius requirements: optimist. no belief in WLB. winner.

you just know breitling sales are going to skyrocket after this

haaland is a beast if he keeps this up, I can see a completely unnecessary NFT launch in his future

finally got around to watching project hail mary after reading the book very highly recommend it's refreshing to see we can still make sci-fi movies that are optimistic rather than eternal doomerist

the biggest risk to bitcoin is none of these things the biggest risk is the coin being socially and memetically centered around one dude instead of talking about monetary policy, state tyranny, scaling payments, robustness against quantum, BTCFi, privacy, block propagation or any of the other ideologically or technologically interesting things for the past year, the entire discourse has been: "did boomer man sell or buy?" btw, no the point is not to "not change", what you mean to say is that a monetary base must be low entropy. meaning it must be resilient against surprises (you cant build a stone castle on quicksand), but quantum is precisely a surprise

This is properly insane: quite literally the worst example of censorship I've ever heard of anywhere. I checked the actual ruling (which you can see here: courthousenews.com/wp-conten…) and, to be clear, it isn't just censorship in the conventional sense - blocking access to a website or removing content from platforms - this is the criminalization of information relayed by private citizens, with prison sentences attached. And the most insane aspect if that it does NOT matter if the information relayed is accurate or not. It just matters that it originates from RT or other media outlets banned in the EU. In other words, truth isn't a defense anymore in the EU, it literally doesn't matter. It's purely based on the identity of the speaker. The ruling is actually explicit about this: the regulation, quoted by the Court says that the prohibition applies to "any content," and they draw no distinction based on what the content actually says. If it originates from banned outlets, it's banned. It is, quite simply, a complete unraveling of the entire post-Enlightenment legal and philosophical project where entire generations of Europeans fought to move from "who says it" to "is it true" as the operative question. Think about the absurdity of it: if RT publishes a video saying the sky is blue and you share it on a publicly accessible website in the EU, you'd fall within the scope of this ruling, making you liable to criminal prosecution. Completely and utterly absurd. But that's the EU today for you 🤷

the founding story of america is highly inspirational, I'm surprised more people don't try if you're thinking of starting a new nation-state, I'm writing cheques (must be absolute monarchy)

Great post by @Cryptopathic.

nothing makes me more optimistic crypto than the widespread rise of envy, asset seizures, and communism across the entire west good luck breaking encryption come and take it

Formal verification: - Solves undetectable bugs due to privacy - Lets us fearlessly optimize The two biggest risks of ZKP's are gone. We carefully write the spec. Then we have mathematical proof that the circuit achieves the desired goal. Then we can speed up SNARK's easily

> steal from billionaires > steal from multimillionaires (we are now here) > steal from millionaires > steal from everyone literal fiscal terrorists who cant do anything except villanize the successful to steal their money come and take it

lmeowww

The gov't theory in my case isn't about me. It's a template. Under US v. Storm, "money transmitting" no longer requires custody or control of funds. Publishing code that others use is enough. Who's in danger: → Every maintainer of open-source privacy, messaging, or crypto tools that any bad actor ever touches → Every operator of a financial service — DeFi or not — who learns some % of users are illicit and keeps operating. Knowledge alone becomes the crime → Every dev of immutable, self-custodial software, held to a duty to "stop" what is technically unstoppable It's already working as designed. Michael Lewellen finished lawful crowdfunding software and can't publish it. He asked DOJ if he'd be prosecuted. Their answer, in federal court: we "cannot disclaim an intent to prosecute." Finished code, sitting on a shelf. You don't need to be charged to be silenced. And SDNY isn't done with me. Prosecutors want to retry me regardless — regardless of the hung counts, regardless of Van Loon, regardless of FinCEN's own guidance. I've been fighting this for 3 years. Legal defense at this level costs millions, and I can't do it alone. If you write code, use privacy tools, or believe publishing software isn't a crime — this is your fight too.

You know the markets bullish because Merts back to ratioing Solana FUD. 😭😭

crypto is the API for capitalism

Zcash testnet is updating for Ironwood tomorrow! We have two independently developed consensus implementations of it. One by @valargroup, and another by @ZcashFoundation. @valargroup's is in audit as well. We have a desktop wallet fork with migration code you can try! If you have a Keystone dev device, you can even update your firmware to try it out on the testnet! Sign 11 txs with one QR code. This is a record for Zcash testnet readiness to my knowledge!

fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe but this does put a smile on my face trillions

78 degrees he wasnt kidding about the warmth of collectivism

.@mert: "Crypto without privacy isn't crypto."
