Introducing Midstate. A peer-to-peer electronic cash system engineered from the ground up for the edge. No elliptic curves. No ASICs. No MEV. Just pure BLAKE3 mathematics running on a $15 Raspberry Pi. The post-quantum frontier is here. 🧵👇

ok we've had to deal with a big reorg (10k batches deep!), but its now applied, i guess proof the consensus logic is correct! #midstate uses "Nakamoto consensus"(effectively) where the chain with the most work is the "correct chain".

ok i think we're back

if you have problems with connectivity, try adding the bootstrap directly as a tcp peer i.e. at the command line append --peer /ip4/134.199.148.215/tcp/9333/p2p/12D3KooWRACBS3RTvszkfPsq4nMw1sZUyNuGAD3SswqsybnoyDcA

gm #midstate! theres been a lot of work on the ibd. the latest version is signifiantly more robust. update immediately. (nb we have also had to resync the bootstrap server so the rpc.cypherpunk.gold explorer wont be up to date for a while. github.com/ciphernom/mids…

@hanaamurakami having more babies

What could solve Japan’s declining birth rate?

@PaulineHansonOz let them buy them, but they must never actually "own" them. i.e. take their money, never give up the deed!

Foreigners who aren't Australian citizens shouldn't own Australian Homes.

@StefanMolyneux there's a lot missing about our understanding of gravity. there is debate as to why it's such a weak force, for instance.

I think we can be pretty sure about gravity though

@learning_yohei If you are looking for slimy politicians they all plot and scheme in Canberra. Sydney’s a much better place to visit.

@MrMakiri @littlemykonos Marie Albonette- “Let them live off 50 bucks”

Albo stands in front of Woolies and seriously asks if $50 a week is enough for one person’s groceries. Mate, for $50 I can get three days of rice, beans, and silent resentment. The other four days I’ll just lick the condensation off the fridge and dream of vegetables and meat. FFS.

#midstate is better than every VC funded shitcoin you can think of And it’s a fair launch You can participate You can be early Fuck those bitches..

@BitcoinArchive This is the most retarded take I’ve heard yet. Very funny. Thanks for this.

Michael Saylor: “If quantum computing hacks your email, does it break the English language?” Language doesn’t break. You upgrade the tools around it and the protocol stays. Bitcoin is built on engineering principles, mathematical soundness, consistency, integrity, truth. The same way airplanes are built on strict physical laws, where systems must be reliable and consistent to work. Bitcoin follows those same principles.

@lopp The leaks were a “test” apparently

We're supposed to believe that both of these are true: 1. Anthropic trained an LLM so smart at security that it will usher in a cybersecurity apocalypse. 2. Anthropic's security is so bad that they had multiple failures & data leaks in the span of a few weeks.

@PQabelian Same

#Quantumcomputing is becoming real. Some projects: “We’ll fix it later.” #Abelian: Already built for it.

@7NewsSydney Why do we even pay for water treatment

Couples hoping to start a family are being urged to filter their tap water to ensure it's free of PFAS. The dangerous forever chemicals, which are often still used in non-stick pans and food packaging, have been found to reduce fertility.

@crypto_spawn @WolfOfWallStETH yes see how that goes. DM me we sort it out

@midstate_dev @WolfOfWallStETH I was running the node in one terminal window while scanning the wallet in another terminal window. I have not tried restoring the wallet in another terminal window while specifying a new path. I will try that next if you think it will help.

if you hold any amount of $WOLF @WolfOfWallStETH i will send you 1 BILLION midstate tokens. You just go to ciphernom.github.io/midstate/ and create a new wallet, get an address and post it below! (ofc if you can use the full node software you can get a privatish WOTS address by running midstate wallet receive)

@crypto_spawn @WolfOfWallStETH so in one tab you would have the midstate node running, in the other tab you would run midstate wallet restore <24 words> --path new_wallet.dat

@crypto_spawn @WolfOfWallStETH are you running the node at the same time as using the wallet (thats its design intent). ie. midstate node in one tab, midstate wallet in another

@crypto_spawn @WolfOfWallStETH To be clear: do not delete your node. Simply specify a different —path for your wallet

@crypto_spawn @WolfOfWallStETH Maybe try restoring the wallet from seed and running scan. The address is definitely holding 1b coins you can see it in the explorer

@crypto_spawn @WolfOfWallStETH if you rescan, it should show up, 1 billion coins
