It was lovely to meet some of you yesterday in Lisbon. If you are not yet part of our Discord, you can join us there. Happy to hear more of your questions and help you get started with trying to figure out how to use dat in your project! 🖤

@SmartContractC3 @mbauwens bitcoin is a carefully designed system that makes it the only truly decentralized consensus system. The stories dont matter. If anything - the founder existing but being unknown can be seen as protection against smear campaigns and various other attacks usually deployed against

@mbauwens What a nonsense. If anything it proofs the financial and economic illiteracy of the author. just as cryptography does not gain value because of the story telling surrounding it, bitcoin doesnt gain its value from the trivia and story telling surrounding it.

* Cult of the Black Hole. The Five Pillars of Bitcoin Mysticism. Brett Scott. asomo.co/p/cult-of-the-… "The eternal mystery of Satoshi is one of five pillars that hold up the Bitcoin token. I will unpack this statement in the article that follows, but at their core, Bitcoin tokens are hollow, and that hollowness needs to be padded out in order to give them a feeling of substance. The myth of Satoshi is one of those padders."

Pear Runtime is getting seriously easy to embed into desktop apps. 🍐 @mafintosh is dialing in distribution so it just works across desktop, mobile, and everything in between. All open source, so you can dive in, explore the code, and start building. 🛠️ github.com/holepunchto/pe…

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. That’s why Bare is small, modular, and now 1K ⭐ strong on @github Check it out > github.com/holepunchto/ba…

Bare is the most underrated piece of software out there github.com/holepunchto/ba…

Is @JonHaidt really totally wrong on this ? * Yet Another Massive Study Says There’s No Evidence That Social Media Is Inherently Harmful To Teens techdirt.com/2023/12/18/yet… Techdirt reviews the 'counter' studies to the claim that social media harm children: "Last fall, the widely respected Pew Research Center did a massive study on kids and the internet, and found that for a majority of teens, social media was way more helpful than harmful. This past May, the American Psychological Association (which has fallen for tech moral panics in the past, such as with video games) released a huge, incredibly detailed and nuanced report going through all of the evidence, and finding no causal link between social media and harms to teens. Soon after that, the US Surgeon General came out with a report which was misrepresented widely in the press. Yet, the details of that report also showed that no causal link could be found between social media and harms to teens. It did still recommend that we act as if there were a link, which was weird and explains the media coverage, but the actual report highlights no causal link, while also pointing out how much benefit teens receive from social media. A few months later, an Oxford University study came out covering nearly a million people across 72 countries, noting that it could find no evidence of social media leading to psychological harm. The Journal of Pediatrics recently published a new study again noting that after looking through decades of research, the mental health epidemic faced among young people appears largely due to the lack of open spaces where kids can be kids without parents hovering over them. That report notes that they explored the idea that social media was a part of the problem, but could find no data to support that claim. In November a new study came out from Oxford showing no evidence whatsoever of increased screentime having any impact on the functioning of brain development in kids. And we can go back further too. There was a study in 2019 that couldn’t find any evidence of social media being bad for kids. But now we have yet another study to add to the list. And it’s a big one. It comes from the National Academies of Science, entitled Social Media and Adolescent Health. Eleven different academics helped put the paper together, along with another seven staff members who worked on it. This isn’t just some random report that a couple academics put together. It was a massive project. And it shows. But the key finding: The committee’s review of the literature did not support the conclusion that social media causes changes in adolescent health at the population level."

Unstoppable tech needs unstoppable foundations. We’re sponsoring @NodeCongress and diving into Bare — our work to make JavaScript run anywhere. 🐻 . Node.js devs, you’ll want to catch this one > nodecongress.com

We’re thrilled to share that Dat Ecosystem has officially joined the @Apereo Foundation as a fiscally sponsored project. 🎉 blog.dat-ecosystem.org/dat-ecosystem-…

🔥 Keet Wallet is coming… 🍐P2P chat meets P2P Bitcoin transfers. No servers. No middlemen. So, who’s the first person you’re tipping some Sats to on Keet? 🧡⚡️

No panels. No badges. No buzzwords. Just peers. Talking. Thinking. Building. Lugano. July 2025.

Hey Friends 🙂 The dat-ecosystem is excited to officially join the Apereo Foundation! This partnership—over a year in the making—brings our 25+ open source projects into a vibrant community that shares our values of openness, equity, and sustainability.

Today we open sourced our attestation module for @keet_io identities. github.com/holepunchto/ke… Incredible stuff by team! With this primitive, devs can make social attestations like "Mathias made this Pear app" or "mafintosh on X is this user on Keet". Much more to come on this, this is step one out of many. Basically the beginning of a true p2p web of trust.

Looking for a Node style runtime but without the standard library?

Very few understand the disruptive potential of holepunch tech. @Holepunch_to

To anyone still interested. Feel free to reach out, we are looking for funding.

I'm making a memory-safe implementation of C/C++. It's called Fil-C. Currently working on making it fanatically compatible with C and C++ so that lots of programs can be made memory-safe with zero or minimal changes. Learn more here: github.com/pizlonator/llv…
