Eric

Amped to say I've joined the world-class team @zellic_io as Growth Lead for their audit and node operation business! I'll be working closely with teams at all stages to help them build more secure protocols. I couldn't be happier to join @gf_256 and @ret2jazzy in their mission to find all the bugs and save all the money. Zellic's node ops uniquely support both pre-launch and well-established networks in a few ways: - Teams (Foundations, LSTs, etc.) that delegate to us earn back a portion of our nodes' rewards as audit credits, effectively keeping our s-tier security engineers on retainer - Zellic's unparalleled depth of experience auditing protocols, core node software, pentesting, etc. ensures that when shit goes pear-shaped and you pick up the red phone - people who can fix it answer the call - We're invested in your success. When number go up you get more audit credits and you can build more (and more secure) stuff In my brief time with the team I've been amazed at their commitment to openness, collaboration, and to each other's success. I'm humbled and grateful to be here. Let's build cool shit together.

We are so back

After all this refactoring, you'd think I'd have tried factoring at least once

OH at a conference: MPC has no use cases Well, I say, skill issue Tune in on Thursday to learn how @SynchronicityHQ is using @StoffelMPC to provide better features to their traders

@angeris @powerbottomdad1 It shoots WAY better than it has any right to for the size it is IME. All of my friends enjoy it when I bring it to the range, shoots much tighter than a 43. It’s snappy for sure but not a mess

@LinkedEric @powerbottomdad1 looks tiny; how well does it shoot/hows the recoil

@powerbottomdad1 g19 will be cheaper in general (extra parts, mags etc) and i prefer shooting it over the p365 but i have tiny hands

Mom said we can’t go to Italy because we have Italy at home 📍Sausalito, CA

(1/2): I have met this person at nearly every crypto conference I have ever attended, and by now I can usually identify him before he even reaches the registration desk, because he arrives wearing the unmistakable expression of a man who has crossed three time zones, answered forty-seven Telegram messages from people he does not like, and paid twelve euros for airport water in order to be physically present at a gathering devoted to the future, only to discover, almost immediately, that the future appears to consist largely of men standing beneath purple lighting and discussing distribution. He checks into the hotel, opens the conference app, scrolls through a schedule containing panels called things like “Reimagining Coordination at Scale” and “The New Institutional Frontier,” and feels, for one brief and embarrassing moment, the stirring of hope, because perhaps this will be the one, perhaps this will be the conference where somebody says something real, where a conversation escapes the gravitational pull of fundraising announcements, ecosystem grants, and whatever the phrase “go-to-market motion” is currently being asked to conceal. By ten in the morning he has received a tote bag made from allegedly regenerative fabric, a metal water bottle that leaks from the lid, a lanyard large enough to function as a municipal permit, and three invitations to side events taking place simultaneously in different parts of the city, each one described as “intimate,” despite having eight hundred RSVPs and a DJ flown in from Berlin. He goes to the first panel. A founder says we are still early and venture capitalist says the next billion users are coming. Eventually a moderator, with the glazed composure of somebody who has already moderated this exact conversation in Singapore, Dubai, Paris, Denver, and a yacht off Mykonos, asks what needs to happen for mass adoption. Everyone agrees that UX must improve and the audience nods with the solemnity of a parliamentary vote. Nothing has technically been said, but the applause is loud. By lunch he has participated in six conversations, all of which begin with “What are you working on?” and end with “We should definitely find a way to collaborate,” which in conference language means that both parties will add one another on Telegram, exchange a fire emoji beneath a future announcement post, and never again occupy the same emotional universe. He meets a man building infrastructure for autonomous agents, although the infrastructure is not yet built and the agents are not yet autonomous. He meets another man launching a protocol for decentralized reputation, who spends most of the conversation explaining which well-known investors already trust him. He meets a founder who says he is obsessed with user sovereignty, then glances every twenty seconds toward the entrance in case someone more important has arrived. By the evening he is standing in a cavernous venue once used to manufacture turbines, now filled with dry ice, ornamental lasers, and several thousand people discussing credible neutrality while trying to get past a velvet rope. There is free food, technically, although it consists of two miniature tacos placed on a slate tile by a person wearing black gloves, and there is free alcohol, abundantly, which may explain why the revolution against extractive intermediaries has temporarily organized itself around a sponsored bar requiring three wristbands and a QR code.

Some news: as of today I've joined True Search to help continue growing their retained executive search practice across crypto and fintech. Two minutes on why I'm joining, crypto's macro trend, and what's in it for you.

Carl mentioned!

They’re calling it The Summer of George, Jerry

@waitwhatwinnie @Uniswap WOOF. bullet dodged

wow lmao. my wallet just got drained by clicking on the top most @uniswap search result. luckily, i'm paranoid about mixing accounts, and had bought $50 of gas ETH with my bank card, which is all I was drained for.

they should rename claude fable 5 to erin... as in erin on the side of caution with these opus 4.8 downgrades

I’ll be working with founders on everything that lives beyond the product: - Narrative - Communication - Go-to-market - Presenting & pitching - Social capital - Executive presence Because the best ideas only win when they tell a better story. us.superteam.fun

I’m taking my talents to South Beach as advisor of narrative strategy & founder performance @SuperteamUSA There’s never been a better time (or place) to build. And accelerating founders for zero equity is a mission I can get behind. The best startups are @solana. Join us.

Pretty cool to discover that PQCVisualizer was referenced in the new research paper from MIT's @medialab, @mitDCI, and @jpmorgan on "Public Blockchains and Regulated Financial Institutions." They linked directly to the Dilithium2 vs Ed25519 comparison while discussing how post-quantum signatures affect storage and network speed requirements for validators. Really grateful to see the resource being useful. 🔗 pqcvisualizer.com

@PGC1a_RB @doctorcalf Shameful admission: I’ve been saying/writing “secretatogues” for years and just assumed that my spellcheck didn’t know that word.

@doctorcalf GHS's is short-form abbreviation

Something about writing the word secretagogues makes me mad. And for that reason I won’t wake them

The next big bug class is going to be vulnerabilities in formal verification systems and harnesses. Proving the wrong theorem, axiom smuggling, etc. It’s going to be a wild year.

damn! that was a beautiful little demonstration of how formal verification can prove what you said but not what you meant, even in the mouths of experts. I almost think this is kayfabe and @zksecurityXYZ and @zellic_io planned this 😂
