If you’re a proponent of decentralization but are still using Twitter and/or Facebook as your primary social networks, just know that I’m here quietly judging you.

CipherPay isn't a proof of concept, it's live. You can already buy @ipecity tickets with Zcash and get a 30% discount. Private payments at global scale are happening now. Congrats @ipecity on the integration. Network states pushing privacy are the perfect fit. @ns and @balajis, when can we pay with ZEC to come to Network School?

@DominikTornow Monads are literally just doing one thing after another with a data dependency between the steps.

Monads are magic. Black magic, but still magic

@cipherpay_app The wallet export issue is annoying. I will bring this up again with the Zodl product team.

CipherPay is live. Private payment infrastructure for Zcash. Accept ZEC on your store, your site, or your app. Non-custodial. No buyer data. Open source. Here's what we built →

@ICBMRV @vpatryshev However, the bug-finding reasoning that Claude has demonstrated in a Rust codebase has been top-notch.

@ICBMRV @vpatryshev IME Rust is okay if what you're doing is pretty constrained; larger changes need to be broken into small well-specified chunks for it to really do well. Also type polymorphism in Rust with associated types is a bit difficult for the models.

Do you notice that the quality of, e.g., Claude's code depends on the language? That is, on the corpus. Python is, mostly, written like shit (with two exceptions, Alex and Guido, who wrote perfect code). But how about Scala? How about Rust? Haskell? Is the code good?

@vpatryshev Haskell is decent, though I have to keep reminding it to use `MaybeT` and `ExceptT` instead of disgustingly nested `do/case` expressions. But the overall quality of the logic is high.

@rickasaurus Does it work for you? I will have to experiment more but my first attempts (admittedly not warmed up) didn't seem to increase my flexibility beyond normal (able to grab the bottoms of my feet with straight legs with half my hands, but not fully collapse the fold at the hip.)

I did kung fu for like 20 years and never figured this out

I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.

Happy Solar Pessimism Chart Update Day to all who celebrate

I'll see this and raise you The Last Ringbearer: archive.org/download/TheLa…

Ok so I thought that was a dumb gimmick but now I'm completely sold on how pi is a self-modifiable software. It literally knows how to modify itself very cleanly and that's extremely useful in practice I'm not using Codex / Claude Code anymore Bend2 should definitely be like this! I mean, constructed in a way that AI's can easily navigate it and know how to modify it to add any feature the user wants. Perhaps we're past the era of open source software and into the era of forkable software, where the most hackable project wins?

first, shielded zec ATH and now we have a hashrate ATH expect TPS, performance, and usage ATHs next

THEY DID IT. The SEC and CFTC just dropped a landmark document that officially classifies crypto assets. They're actually telling us which crypto assets are securities and which ones aren't - by name! THIS IS SOMETHING GENSLER REFUSED TO DO (he focused on prosecuting crypto out of existence) This rule doc gives crypto many of the benefits of the clarity bill - it lifts us out of the gray market - it gives every asset a path. It's almost like the Clarity act just passed by way of regulator. (of course, the actual clarity act will harden all this into legislation and make it irreversible in the event we get another Gensler, we still want it) This rule says there's 5 categories for crypto assets: 1) Digital Commodities - assets tied to a functional, decentralized crypto system (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE). Not securities. (yes, they name them on page 14) 2) Digital Collectibles - NFTs, meme coins, artwork tokens, in-game items. Not securities (fractionalized collectibles may be an exception). 3) Digital Tools - membership tokens, credentials, domain names (e.g., ENS). Not securities. 4) Stablecoins - payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are not securities. Other stablecoins, it depends. 5) Digital Securities - tokenized versions of traditional securities. Like tokenized stocks. Always securities. Amazing! This makes so much sense I can't believe it's coming from a regulator. No more enforcement threats to Ethereum developers and crypto exchanges. How about the Howey test? More common sense! If an issuer makes specific promises of managerial efforts from which buyers expect profits, the offering is a security until those promises are fulfilled. Then it's a commodity. The asset itself was never the security, the deal around it was. (E.g. XRP was a security pre launch, became a commodity after). How about stuff like staking and mining? Mining? Not a securities transaction. Staking? Also not a securities transaction, that includes custodial and liquid staking even with LSTs! How about wrapping BTC? Not a securities transaction. Airdrops? NOT SECURITIES. NO MORE GEO BANS PROTECTING AMERICANS from free airdrops. Remember this is a joint doc from the SEC and CFTC, They're actually cooperating on this, no internal strife, this is binding to both. SEC regulates $80-100 trillion assets CFTC regulates $5-10 trillion assets Both of the world's largest capital markets are showing us that crypto assets are here to stay and they're welcome alongside traditional assets. Every country will follow. This is the biggest move toward legitimacy I've seen in all my time in crypto. Maybe bigger than the genius act since is covers all crypto assets. Well done @MichaelSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins. And especially well done to the indefatigable @HesterPeirce. Her fingerprints are all over this, couldn't have happened without her eight years of principles-based curiosity.

$ZEC has reached a hashrate all time high. Growing conviction in a network built for financial privacy. Foundry's Zcash pool is launching soon and we're proud to be joining the ecosystem.

Two view of humanity. From a talk I gave some years ago. Relevant today.

Tangential to this, from Ursula Le Guin:

Not your vault, not your gold. Not your barrels, not your oil. Not your keys, not your Zcash. ... good luck with the first two.
