@eek637 @ScopeLift @wildmolasses @eas_eth I wonder if there’s a better meatspace solution for disseminating _which_ document is being referred to by the content hash? Posting it up publicly is good enough for now, but I can imagine in 30 years there will be some docs that got attested to which nobody can find.

Last week was a historic one for crypto and for the United States with the passage of stablecoin legislation, one of just a few pieces of major financial legislation signed into law in the past 25 years. It marks a meaningful step toward making the United States the home for crypto. Today we are excited to announce our seed investment in @CowrieIO, a crypto native advisory firm based in Wyoming that specializes in domestic tax compliance and entity structuring. We believe the United States is on the path to enacting comprehensive crypto legislation, and @DKerr_Cowrie & Cowrie are well positioned to help DAOs and crypto projects meet their regulatory obligations. Learn more about Cowrie and our vision for the future of crypto corporations and foundations below.

There’s still a lot to do, but the scaffolding is getting solid. Infra is maturing. Legal context is clearer. People are getting serious again. Feels good to be building in this moment.

For that to work, you need visibility. That’s been my focus: - Mapping how value flows through protocols - Understanding where control _actually_ sits - Giving these orgs tools to make informed decisions from day one

3/ But the landscape is shifting. We now have a viable path for groups—some anon, some not—to coordinate without centralized managers, without insider asymmetries, and without faking a corporate structure they don’t actually need.

2/ The industry’s had a broken incentive model for years: - Build something decentralized and durable? Risky. - Launch a pump-and-dump meme coin? No problem. That’s led to a lot of noise and a lot of justified skepticism.

I got sim swapped in 2016 in an attempt to hijack my exchange logins. Thankfully, nothing of value was gated by sms based 2fa. It was still a stressful 6 hour battle (in the midst of a work day) to recover my phone number. Upgrade your 2fa now.

Sim swapping isn't new. If you're still using sms based 2fa in 2023, you're asking to get compromised. It doesn't matter if you add "sim lock" to your account, that's literally just a note on your profile. A sufficiently malicious or incompetent rep will still swap your sim.

1/ I’ve read several misconceptions about how a wallet works. It seems some people thought there is some magic, let me explain how it works. A thread 👇

We know that it is hard to remember exactly what you signed or did when you were scammed on a phishing website. That is why we created this flowchart to help you diagnose what happened – and what to do about it. This flowchart is now also available on revoke.cash/faq

@kevinrose I'd personally put my identity-linked assets (i.e. a PROOF pass or NFT that gives community membership) into the "warm" style wallet, that I'm careful signing things with but don't go full-abstinence. I would be extremely unlikely to ever set any approvals with this account.

@kevinrose Hypothetically, which account in this system would you place a PROOF pass to sign into discord with? On one hand you'd probably want it to be in your cold wallet, but you'll need to sign a message with that account to log in, which may or may not violate your "cold" rules.
