@JamesConran1 @MattBruenig @Noahpinion Eh, even if viewed as a failure, the gains made from funding and advancing zero-knowledge cryptography seem more useful than most any alternative that the talent would be drawn into.

@MattBruenig @Noahpinion Tragic given the sheer quantity of merit involved.

It wasn't just crypto. A big factor was post-2020 DEI at tech companies, which previously had been the most meritocratic of industries.
Paul Graham@paulg
Warren's war on crypto was a pure own-goal by the Democrats. It achieved nothing, and it cost them enormously by alienating a large fraction of a powerful group who'd previously supported them. Look at the change from 2020 to 2024.

@i2cjak Not sure I'd buy it, but dedicated music production ones could be a cool niche: toslink optical in/out for 8ch audio, dedicated midi, etc

@zkDragon Merge doesn’t mean DOGE blocks are finalized in or checkpointed to LTC. It just reuses hashing work: a parent header commits to a DOGE block, and Dogecoin verifies that proof against DOGE difficulty. The parent can be stale/non-canonical on LTC, so an LTC reorg doesn’t reorg DOGE
English
Dumb question, why weren't Dogecoin bridges affected?
Isn't Dogecoin merge mined into Litecoin (even tho Dogecoin is higher marketcap)
Litecoin@litecoin
Litecoin update: • A zero-day bug caused a DoS attack that disrupted major mining pools. • Non-updated mining nodes allowed an invalid MWEB transaction allowing them to peg out coins to third party DEX’s • A 13-block reorg reversed those invalid transactions — they will not be included in the main chain • All valid transactions during that period remain unaffected • The bug is now fully patched, and the network continues to operate normally

If you're curious, the max page for ints is 9007199254738058 before you get "Access Denied".
But 9.0071992548E+15 works fine!

Do most page query parameters support scientific-notation?

dumb question: how not to get car sick while looking at phones / laptop on the road?
I found myself always have to do some work in cars but I get really nauseated wen I do it.
But then I can’t really waste time in cars

Huge congrats to my friends at @siafoundation on this major protocol upgrade! 🎊
First production utreexo implementation + proof that sustainable open source funding works. Decentralized storage is still the backbone of Web3, and Sia keeps delivering on its mission.

If you make a token of a baby, and the baby itself gets kidnapped tomorrow, you still have the same baby.
Because the token still exists and is in limited supply just as before. Nothing has changed.
What tokens are doing to the concept of babies, few understand.

If you make a NFT of a real diamond, and the diamond itself gets destroyed in a fire tomorrow, you still have the same asset. Because the token still exists and is in limited supply just as before. Nothing has changed. What NFT is doing to the concept of asset, few understand.

Incredible to see the costs of running an Ethereum validator decrease over 50% in the past year! 🚀💪
Why is no one talking about this?

incredible to be a part of this milestone.
thank you to everyone who believed in us. we're just getting started
Symbiotic@symbioticfi
Symbiotic is now live on Ethereum mainnet. After two years of development, five independent audits, and a code competition, we're the first to launch a feature-complete shared security protocol with slashing.

Lots of respect for the folks in crypto pushing real-world value where fiat underserves -- and rooted in p2p. I'm very excited to see where @Go_Karsa goes.
Shah@0xLilShah
incredibly excited to announce that @0xDwil and I have launched Karsa—and we’re backed by @ycombinator! karsa is a global dollar account that enables anyone in emerging markets to save in stablecoins to protect against currency instability. Going live in 6 countries today 🌍

Karsa | YC W25@Go_Karsa
Introducing Karsa: The global dollar account. 1B+ people across the world face severe inflation, limited dollar access, and strict controls on crypto. Karsa is a stablecoin neobank that's peer-to-peer under the hood—global, uncensorable, and incredibly simple.

Over the last 3 days I built EthStrategy with Justin.
It is a fully onchain fully FOSS implementation of MicroStrategy.
Launching next week, we are looking for no-risk capital pre commitments

It's been a week of scapegoating @AyaMiyagotchi with our discontent towards anything (and everything) @ethereum.
Firstly, a thank you to folks that engage productively, I've learned a lot
So here we go, @ethereumfndn mythbusters edition so we can at least agree on some facts
English
Daniel Helm retweetledi
Regardless of the future of Ethereum—whether with or without me in any capacity—I want to state publicly and very clearly that I have nothing but respect and praise for @AyaMiyagotchi's leadership and friendship. There are many reasons Ethereum has flourished over the years, and Aya has played a significant role in that. She has a deeply strategic mind and a pure heart. Not many people have had the chance to work closely with her, but I have. My successes in Ethereum have always been complemented by her support and guidance.
Even if you want to see changes with the EF, and even if your criticisms are valid, please look toward and help build a positive future. Please, put the pitchforks away.
