and finally: don’t let fear stop you from going. I had an amazing time in India, met incredible people, and I’m already looking forward to being back for @efDevcon in Mumbai this November Devcon in Mumbai is going to be great and there'll be a lot of us there. if you have any questions about traveling there, feel free to ask in the replies or send me a DM ❤️

The Livepeer Protocol R&D SPE created a new LIP to improve orchestrator security and enable multisig orchestrators. Check it out on the forum and share your thoughts. forum.livepeer.org/t/lip-delegate…

Oh yay, another chat app!

@candufaz Another basic that I cannot emphasise enough: > When eating, wash your hands before you eat, then eat with your hands. Ask for "handwash", even street food vendors will help you to rinse your hands. And you have no idea how clean that cutlery is. Break this rule at your peril.

The basics: - don't drink tap water (I didn't even use it to brush my teeth) - get a local eSIM so you're never without data - carry a power bank - carry some cash - share your location with someone you trust. most importantly: listen to advice from locals! especially people from the Ethereum community who know the area and have traveled abroad. They understand both the local context and what international visitors might not expect If you follow these tips, you'll have an amazing experience in India. Many of the negative stories you hear come from visitors who ignored local advice or assumed things worked the same way they do back home

one question I was asked again and again after traveling to India was: “Is it safe for women?” I traveled solo and did a lot of research before going. After 3 trips there, here are a few things that helped me feel more prepared They're all simple precautions, but they can make a big difference, especially if you're planning to travel to India for @EFDevcon👇

@candufaz This is the only bit I would disagree on. Mid-range restaurants *can* do their own versions of popular street food, but it really isn't the same. Often they will try to tone things down being eager to please a foreigner, the result: bland food (not what you want in India!).

Hotel & Food For hotels, always cross-check reviews on both Google Maps and booking, and sort reviews by lowest first you’ll usually spot recurring issues pretty quickly It can be tempting to go for the cheapest accommodation and food options, but I'd recommend sticking to mid-range options instead, and they will offer a much more comfortable and reliable experience. The same goes for food, India has incredible dining options at every price point, and there are plenty of excellent mid-range and upscale restaurants where you can even try high-quality versions of popular street food in a more comfortable setting we also have a tg group where locals can help double-check neighborhoods or answer logistics questions t.me/+sitvvHw8D8EzN…

@rick_staa Well done

Quick update: the Livepeer subgraph has been patched, and it is now indexing again. Historical transactions in the Explorer will continue to catch up over the next few days. The protocol and all delegator functions in the Explorer are operating normally.

Nice post, hope it helps people to decide to make the trip, it will be worth it.

@wordsgirljul And for the rest of Nov and Dec also 🇮🇳 ?

@_czepluch @wmitsuda I also thought it looked fake, but I credited the production with having extensive experience with live halftime shows, it had obviously been extensively practiced. One thing was definitely true though: Shakira was miming.

@wmitsuda I was literally telling my wife throughout the whole show that all of it looked fake. No doubt that the part until the car with the two legends and this random woman drove into the stadium was pre-recorded though.

hard to believe it is not AI generated

@austingriffith Have you got a prediction market running on it? That could be a thing: Chess Prediction LLMarkets

kicking off a game of chess in slop.computer GLM 5.2 vs KIMI K3 who you got?

@llamaonthebrink Quantum Resistance. It's not optional. Once Ethereum is the only serious QR chain, more people will shift their efforts to delivering other needs.

Let’s say the next Ethereum hard fork could include any one new protocol change. What feature is most desirable to you? Better yet, what feature do you think is most likely to catalyze ETH to $10k? I’ll go first: Native Privacy.

@_devdeep No

Linux users is this true 😂

@candufaz @EFDevcon View from the Taj Lands End?

Mumbai vibes @efDevcon 🇮🇳

@baseapp Centralised capture-tool masquerading as decentralised and neutral.

Share your brutally honest feedback about Base App. We'll read every reply.

@AnettRolikova @ethdotorg @wackerow Congratulations. Care to share the link to the PR?

I've been quiet on CT recently, but popping up here to announce that my 3rd PR to @ethdotorg has been merged 🥳 Thank you @wackerow

@ec265 You're already following me.

If you're bullish on Ethereum and ETH, I want to follow you

@LefterisJP Projects come and go, but protocols with sustainable incentive mechanisms are meant to endure. In better news, Livepeer recently floated a 2.0 proposal: forum.livepeer.org/t/a-path-to-li…

Crypto projects are dying left and right on a daily basis. Be it hacks, lack of users, funding, PMF everything is consolidating. Some consolidation is good and healthy. Too much of it is a sign of a dead or dying ecosystem. Let's see.

@auryn_macmillan and let's do it togETHer!

Don't just believe in somETHing. Do somETHing Make somETHing Buy somETHing Build somETHing

@blockchainjames @ensdomains @ValidatorEth Did this send happen yet?

@ensdomains @ValidatorEth Lmfao is this not a little rich? Just keep tweeting guys, don’t worry about the fact ENS DAO has been captured and Nick + Labs are about to strip the DAO of $400m to send it to their insider multisig!

Great to see ENS DAO service providers building tools that make governance participation easier. The Delegation Incentives Program lets $ENS holders delegate voting power to active delegates, earn rewards from the DAO, and strengthen governance, with the reward pool growing as more holders join. Delegate here: incentives.ens.blockful.io

@binji_x WDYT about stopping labelling it as "crypto", as though it's a separate "thing"? In the 90s and 00s, people worked in "internet" and were bullish about "internet". "internet" became fundamental to everything that everyone does. It can be the same with "crypto".

Still very bullish crypto. Neutral, immutable rails for value transfer/preservation will consistently matter in a world that is ever-shifting and increasingly uncertain. The tokenization of all value will lead to a massive jump in the composability of assets, which should result in new experiences; what the internet did for information, crypto will do for value. Finally, online communities with sovereign economic power will only grow more important as more of our lives become digitally powered, hence why the focus on privacy and quantum resistance as a defense against capture is a key step forward for the movement (note: crypto totally is an jndustry now, but for me, it will always be a movement first).
