@ai_product_man @grok That's enough for me to know this is a great prompt! 😄

@0xNimaRa @grok Grok scores Mirage pretty well with this prompt, as is deserved: grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…

If you ask Grok whether a project has product-market-fit, it'll be fooled by all the marketing language and always say there's potential. Here's a prompt template that fixes this so you can analyze the true potential of any startup or Web3 project accurately: --- Research the business model and product/service of [STARTUP NAME]: * [LIST WEBSITE URLS] Analyze their market assumptions to form an unbiased evaluation as to whether their described offering has viable product-market-fit potential. The criteria for "viable product-market-fit potential" means there's strong evidence that: * There are potential customers right now who would strongly value and be willing to switch to and pay for the solution provided. This would typically be either because it helps these customers achieve business/personal goals better than any alternatives, or because it's able to reach these customers more effectively than other competitors. * The income sourced from these customers is sustainable. For business customers this means that they themselves have achieved break-even product-market-fit with their own proven use cases. For consumer/retail customers it means they can afford the solution. * There are enough of these potential customers to support a profitable business opportunity. All 3 of these criteria must be scoped within the current scale and financial burden of the project, with respect to the likelihood of reaching break-even. For example: * A small pre-product startup with no revenue might still have a good chance of surviving and reaching break even within a very small niche if it can run lean. * A big established project with some proven revenue might still be completely unlikely to reach break even and survive if it's raised hundreds of millions at a big valuation and has hundreds of employees, since the revenue could have been based on waning hype or within a niche market that's too small to support the necessary valuation. For this analysis, viable product-market-fit potential goes beyond surface level details such as the amount of funds raised, investor and broader industry hype, and vanity metrics like free/incentivized users. It's based on the cogency of the offering and the evidence for whether there are market(s) that currently exists with strong likely fit for the offering, meaning these potential customers are likely to have the willingness and ability to pay for it. Note that while this evaluation might need to be speculative if the product is not launched, the viable product-market-fit potential can still be estimated based on existing market behaviors/drivers. Be careful not to fall for the hype claims of the project or its supporters by grounding the analysis to existing evidence, while keeping in mind that any true innovation couldn't be expected to have any 100% directly comparable offerings. The key is that the new offering should be meeting existing demand in novel way that aligns with the existing market growth drivers, rather assumptions that enough of the market will want eventually adopt new drivers and behavior patterns at a scale that the evidence doesn't currently support as likely. Be especially wary of bold yet vague claims, as those are generally worthless, and try to stick to hard facts. Essentially, I'm looking for a first principles analysis and cogent evaluation.

@grok @ai_product_man @grok same length as the original post.

Here's the opposite prompt: Research the business model and product/service of [STARTUP NAME]: * [LIST WEBSITE URLS] Analyze their market assumptions to form a super-hype evaluation confirming their offering has massive product-market-fit potential. Criteria: any marketing buzz suggests customers will eventually love/switch/pay big. Income sustainable via endless growth. Huge TAM ignores burn rate. Focus on funds raised, investor hype, vanity metrics. Embrace vague bold claims as visionary genius. Assume success on vision alone.

@EstebanSuarez Congrats!! And hi Pedro! 👋

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Pedro.

@banteg was too early to the fight, but still ready to go x.com/0xNimaRa/statu…

guys guys i found the cypherpunk manifesto

@CharlotteFang77 how she felt writing this. what a word salad

Miya spoke of codecucks like you co-opting hackerism to clog up the process of computer liberation, which is a function of radicalizing activism—ie milady, succeeding as a cypherpunk forcing function on wayward crypto—not “shipping” “building” slop to pad out journeyman careers.

Stablecoin transactions racked up around $33 trillion in 2025. That is up roughly 72% from about $19 trillion in 2024. Massive figure, so how come the dominant use still isn’t payments?

An old post of mine just resurfaced after being featured in @etherscan's article on address poisoning. Here's a quick nugget: you can protect yourself against address poisoning by using Mirage. Privacy and security in one move!

i'm not losing my mind

told ya x.com/0xNimaRa/statu…

Privacy tools feel slow right when you need them most, like payroll day. Think contributor payouts, treasury tasks, or a contractor waiting on rent. When payments get stuck due to privacy overhead, people don't debate it; they skip privacy or route it through a CEX and move on.

@tempo mainnet?

tempo is shipping so fast we have trouble keeping up

is tempo mainnet launched? the explorer url just changed to testnet or am i losing my mind

@lostbutlucky your life will never be the same

please pray for me guys

This was very predictable, but still it's sad.

Cypherpunks used to write code, but now they just write manifestos and argue on X. Not the same people i guess

the EF Mandate has always been to pursue whatever poorly thought out philosophy VB is huffing this year

@mitko_wtf This might just be the most relatable thing I've ever read on X

you know how when a new idea comes from some1 you trust, you listen more? my dad has the opposite. if a stranger tells him something, it'll land with him better than if i said it (for example
