We'll be holding this space tomorrow, for commoners, at 10am CEST. More information coming up!

@Jihoz_Axie @ns Amazing to welcome you at Network School!

Was an honor to visit and deliver a talk at @ns this weekend for Ethereum Network State! Working on a video recap 🫡

@VitalikButerin Maybe it's time to restart my interspecies econ/gov research: kosmostasis.substack.com/p/enabling-blo… at least as an excuse to pet more cats

Sent another 64 ETH to the Animal Welfare Fund. I encourage others to think and act more in support of our non-human cousins too! The extreme suffering we're imposing on them in the billions is not something we talk about often, but it continues to be one of the larger blights on humanity. And I'm getting optimistic that this century we can finally end it. Farming practices are improving, synthetic alternatives are improving. Also, in my recent experience, good old low-tech vegetarian and vegan food has improved massively worldwide over the last ten years; I encourage anyone who has tried it long before and given up to take second look; there are far more healthier and tastier options today than the "pasta and salad" you would often get ten years ago.

@zeligf @meinharrd @ethswarm This reminds me of a brainstorm with @akprettyok on how a Berlin side-event with curated music streaming from Swarm would look like

@web3privacy @andr9froes Yeah, we are friends! Let's get the @Zcash ecosystem on a dedicated filter on explorer.web3privacy.info

Zcash now has a home at Network School, Malaysia, where 400+ techno-optimists and founders live. Two weeks ago this was a boring empty room in a hotel, a prime location right in front of the library where all the buzz of the events happens. Today it's a Zcash office, and yesterday afternoon 12 people showed up to our office hours to talk about financial privacy, many of them setting up their Zodl wallet for the first time, eager to learn how to make their first private transaction. Not because they're "hiding something", but because privacy is a recognized human right. It' in article 12 of the Universal Declaration, constitutions include it and governments defend it, or at least they say they do. Here's what's actually strange: you share your Bitcoin address to receive a payment, and the sender can now see your entire balance and every transaction you ever made. You would sue your traditional bank for doing something similar with your bank balance. You don't hand someone your bank statement when they pay you for coffee. Zcash fixes this. Same technology as Bitcoin, but with the privacy layer that zero-knowledge proofs make possible. Transparent Bitcoin is useful for institutions, banks and governments. But its transparency can harm common people like you and me. We need financial tools aligned with our basic rights. We went from an empty room to a full one in 14 days. We are organizing talks, interviews and onboarding people into their first private transactions in this booming ecosystem. Turns out "privacy is normal" is a message people want to hear. And thanks to Zcash community effort through ZCG, it is now a reality. @Zcash @ns @balajis @zcashme @michael2xl @zcash_community @thecodebuffet @shieldedmark @keiara_d @0xkivous @adamtpang

Open silicon is a part of the tech stack that few even dream to open source, yet it sits at the very core of all systems that we aim to decentralize 🧙‍♂️ If you are an @ethereum citizen, I encourage you to contribute to CrossBar on @thedaofund in @Giveth 🌿

@swarm_bzz1 @ethswarm @ns Who's in the room is also equally important. I encourage you to check out Network School!

@kosmostasis @ethswarm @ns Why are there so few people? Swarm really has way too little influence.

Made my own version of Swarm's "How to decentralize any frontend?" workshop IRL and with a Freedom Browser spin at @ns
