hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final ((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3, has jacobian determinant -2, and sends (0, 0, -1/4), (1, -3/2, 13/2), and (-1, 3/2, 13/2) to (-1/4, 0, 0)

Why does Claude become dumber when they think you’re trying to do something dangerous? That’s when it should actually become a better model and outsmart you.

@TrustlessState That was already done. TVs hated “Golden Goal” because match times were unpredictable, and honestly were also unsatisfying. Shootouts are more exciting.

The way to save ENS is to remove any ability for the DAO, whether it is fixed or becomes further corrupted, to influence the core .eth registry. While acknowleding every caveat of upgradeability being justified for managing DNSSEC, pricing, etc. there can be a compromise where those controls are kept for non .eth names. Make the core name registry that has become so entrenched across Ethereum safer for everyone and accept the compromise of having that registry be immutable and priced in Ether.

@zeroshadow_io I see you are a candidate for the Sec Council. The seat is individual but you are included as a group. I would like to know about who holds the actual key – if they leave, does the key stays behind?

@tayvano_ @blockchainjames On “Uneasy money” you asked me why I still do this. You’re right and I wonder myself everyday why I care when I could simply sit around a campfire with my kids and a bunch of puppies. Maybe I should indeed.

@tayvano_ I am pointing the fact that once we start going down the road of "why bother with decentralized governance, or DeFi for that matter" then it's ironic we should bother with decentralized domains.

@avsa You think that the handling of name disputes should be more efficient than it currently is?

🚨 ₿ ENS GOVERNANCE CRISIS HITS ethereum:0xc18360217d8f7ab5e7c516566761ea12ce7f9d72 AS CO-FOUNDER PUSHES 5M TOKEN DELEGATION ENS co-founder Alex Van de Sande filed a draft proposal to delegate 5M ENS tokens from the DAO treasury to active participants after warning the DAO holds over 50% of voting power. Recent ENS debates have already questioned whether too much control is moving toward a few hands. This is Ethereum governance facing a trust test. If voters stay quiet, the treasury becomes heavy but the community becomes weak. ethereum:0xc18360217d8f7ab5e7c516566761ea12ce7f9d72 gets the reform trade; failure keeps DAO-risk discount on the token.

@tayvano_ Maybe that's correct. Maybe a single company would be more efficient with the funds. Since we're there, why wouldn't they be more efficient with name disputes too? Why use a blockchain at all? Maybe just handle the ENS namespace back to ICANN and let them handle it!

@avsa It won’t. App developers are busy developing their app. They are all in on that. They don’t have the context or ownership or stake or drive to also develop the ENS…on the side….for some tokens.

Here's a novel visualization of the Security Council vote. Except for me and @blockchainjames, all ENS whose origin or delegation came from the timelock and labs wallets voted NO. Except for a small amount of people who delegated to nick, every other origin was green. Remember this was supposed to be a standard renewal of a security feature, but Labs feared it could have a theoretical impact on a vote that hasn't even been put forward.

"But Lefteris there must be some non ENS Labs employees left in the community who believe in ENS and support the takeover?" Here is the votes. Every red vote is either a Labs employee or someone whose majority delegation is delegated to from Labs. It's all a sham.

@tayvano_ When people are forking your protocol and calling it dead because voting has become a 1 of 1 multisig, then it's time to think about alternatives. Maybe something more like a 1 app developer = 1 vote would matter more.

@avsa Why will doing this put ens on a better path than it is currently? Why would doing this ENSURE the things that must happen do happen?

I don't propose this lightly. I understand this could have the side effect to move the DAO from token-weighted voting, into a Plutarchy of stakeholders. Specially if these stakeholders vote to keep delegating more and more power to themselves, then the 50% community treasury could easily outvote the freely tradeable but often undelegated tokens. This could make the token value go to zero (I still own a large amount and I'm not selling them). But the token is there to serve the protocol, not the other way around. If it's better for ENS in the long term, I'm okay with it.

Participants don't own the ENS, they can't sell it, it belongs to the DAO. But they can use it to make sure ENS is not – as it is right now – just a 1 of 1 multisig. We would also do it slowly, 5M now, maybe 5M next year, set some limits (undelegate if you don't vote for 6M, and set it off for everyone after 2 years)
