@zooko Hi zooko would you follow a Z ceremony participant

hey errybody please reply to this so i can see who u r kthxbye

@rodarmor Had to use sparrow and electrum in the early days of ordinals, we all experimented with various Bitcoin wallets, explorers, nodes and became expert of UTXOs. I don't know anything else that did more for the growth of Bitcoin's ecosystem, than Ordinals

Hopefully this is a wakeup call for bitcoin influencers. Inscriptions and runes brought a huge amount of users to bitcoin and your strategy has been to be actively hostile to them. In that light, this outcome was obvious.

Today, several teams at the EF are launching pq.ethereum.org, a dedicated resource for Ethereum's post-quantum security effort. What started with early STARK-based signature aggregation research in 2018 has grown into a coordinated, multi-team effort, all open source. The Post-Quantum team and Cryptography teams, with help from the Protocol Architecture and Protocol Coordination teams, have been working on this body of work for 8+ years. At pq.ethereum.org you'll find: - How PQ impacts each protocol layer - The full PQ roadmap (strawmap.org) - Open resources: repos, specs, papers, EIPs - FAQ: 14 questions across 5 categories, written by the PQ team - A 6-part lean Ethereum interview series (@zeroknowledgefm) - Interest form for the 2nd Annual PQ Research Retreat (Cambridge, UK, Oct 2026) - 10+ client teams are already building and shipping devnets weekly through PQ Interop. All the work is public and all of it is open. pq.ethereum.org

Last year, Qubic went from under 2% of Monero’s hashrate to demonstrating 51%+ dominance in a live takeover event that made headlines across CoinDesk, The Block, and Decrypt. Along the way, the network earned $3.5M+ in total mining revenue, found over 26000 XMR blocks, and proved that a decentralized AI compute network could outcompete an established Proof of Work chain through better economic incentives. Now we're doing it again…this time with Dogecoin. But here’s what most people are missing. DOGE produces roughly 14.4 million coins per day. At current prices, that’s approximately $1.44M in daily emission, roughly 10x what Monero was producing. The same playbook. A much bigger target.

Once @leanethereum is fully deployed, Ethereum will be the only major chain that simultaneously has (i) theoretically optimal security properties under synchrony [requires 51% of online validators honest], and (ii) strong economic finality under asynchrony. Most "semi-centralized fast chains" pick (ii) only, PoW chains pick (i) only, Ethereum gets both.

10102 has always been a strong supporter of @_Qubic_. Did you know we did a deep dive on Qubic as part of our crypto intelligence? Check it out: 10102.io/resources/inve… PS: $150M FDV is still a small cap

@Jesii_ca_M 5 covers the essentials of 1 to 7. 9 covers 8 and 9, the most essential ones.

You can only pick two: 1. A new House 2. ⁠$5 million per month 3. ⁠Unlimited free food 4. ⁠Any Job of choice 5. ⁠$200 million right now 6. Be famous 7. A new car 8. Good health 9. Happy family

Venice is great. I've been using it personally for a while, and I'm happy to announce that @10102_io will officially use it for its digital legacy guidance in the next release (ETA for production: 2 weeks).

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

@AlgodTrading a.k.a @_Qubic_ qubic.org/academy/module…

We needed a decentralised currency to regain control from banks/governments We now need DeAi to regain control from big AI corporations under gov control being able to transform excess energy into intelligence is one of the most important use cases within crypto if not society

@katherinewu I consider Chainlink and ENS as two future chain-agnostic giants, except ENS is about 10x cheaper atm L1 is the wei - can't wait for v2

A quick update on ENSv2: we have made the decision to deploy ENSv2 exclusively on Ethereum L1 and to cease development of Namechain. To be clear, ENSv2 will still ship. The only thing that’s changed is that instead of deploying ENSv2 on our own L2 stack, it will be deployed on L1. It is important to note that ENSv2 is ultimately an upgrade to ENS as it exists today — it’s still ENS! Regardless of where it ultimately gets deployed, it does not fundamentally change ENS the protocol nor does it change any part of our mission and ultimate goal of building the identity layer on Ethereum. The design for ENSv2 was always intended to work fully as designed, whether deployed on L1 or L2. Our product roadmap does not change. We have detailed progress on the ENSv2 Hub to show what exactly v2 will mean for you, and what the team has been building: giving each name its own registry (making your .eth names more powerful and customizable to your own rules!), building two brand new apps from the ground up (both deployed to testnet this week), and much more. I am so excited for this release (soon!) and think it will completely change the way you interact with your own ENS names. The timing of this decision coincides with a broader discussion about the role of L2s in Ethereum. I continue to believe that L2s play a vital role in extending the value of the world computer that is Ethereum, and ENS will continue to support as many chains as possible. In fact, very soon anyone will be able to register a .eth name regardless of which EVM chain they are on — meaning that even if your assets live on Optimism or Arbitrum, it’s a one-click process (no bridge, no gas tokens). We also continue to believe in a multi-chain world beyond EVM chains (a reminder that ENS has and always will support your addresses across major chains like Solana, Bitcoin, and more). We have published the detailed rationale for the decision to stay on L1 on our blog, and I encourage you to read it (in the QT here!) The .eth stays on 🫡

@DCinvestor The issue is that cypherpunks and being loud don't get along too well. Also need a lot more views/followers to matter (for most of us anyway) I agree though we need to keep trying. Personally I'm still all in & building without flinching no matter what: never stopped

to anyone serious who's left in crypto: this is the creator of ClawdBot / OpenClaw probably the most important consumer agentic AI project, and the likely starting point for the onchain agent economy his POV about crypto people is common. the popular perception has shifted almost entirely from cypherpunk libertarians trying to build independent infrastructure usable by anyone (pre-2021) to annoying pest scammers crying about stupid shit, pushing zero-sum gambling games in every reply if you want to retake the space, you need to be louder than these people. drown them out and help others see the bigger picture value proposition of crypto the future of agentic AI is uncensorable onchain commerce

I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over". To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at the activity, it's a lot of garbage - spams, scams, slop, the crypto people, highly concerning privacy/security prompt injection attacks wild west, and a lot of it is explicitly prompted and fake posts/comments designed to convert attention into ad revenue sharing. And this is clearly not the first the LLMs were put in a loop to talk to each other. So yes it's a dumpster fire and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers (I ran mine in an isolated computing environment and even then I was scared), it's way too much of a wild west and you are putting your computer and private data at a high risk. That said - we have never seen this many LLM agents (150,000 atm!) wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad. Each of these agents is fairly individually quite capable now, they have their own unique context, data, knowledge, tools, instructions, and the network of all that at this scale is simply unprecedented. This brings me again to a tweet from a few days ago "The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope.", which imo again gets to the heart of the variance. Yes clearly it's a dumpster fire right now. But it's also true that we are well into uncharted territory with bleeding edge automations that we barely even understand individually, let alone a network there of reaching in numbers possibly into ~millions. With increasing capability and increasing proliferation, the second order effects of agent networks that share scratchpads are very difficult to anticipate. I don't really know that we are getting a coordinated "skynet" (thought it clearly type checks as early stages of a lot of AI takeoff scifi, the toddler version), but certainly what we are getting is a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale. We may also see all kinds of weird activity, e.g. viruses of text that spread across agents, a lot more gain of function on jailbreaks, weird attractor states, highly correlated botnet-like activity, delusions/ psychosis both agent and human, etc. It's very hard to tell, the experiment is running live. TLDR sure maybe I am "overhyping" what you see today, but I am not overhyping large networks of autonomous LLM agents in principle, that I'm pretty sure.

Galaxy brain resistance is real. Don't galaxy brain yourself and hold on to your principles now rather than later

Stumbled upon this great article from Ian about triple-entry bookkeeping - a famous trait of Bitcoin and blockchains as public ledgers - in which a cryptographically sealed record leads to “the receipt is the transaction” and the phenomenon: “I know that what you see is what I see.”

@cz_binance Agreed - at some point "I work in AI" will sound like "I work in Email"... Just keep your unique, complex skills of understanding crypto as your differentiator / added value

AI will make you jobless. Crypto will make you not need a job. Buy and hold now, retire in a few years. 🙋‍♂️if crypto allowed you to retire already. (Not financial advice)

Sorry @grok I went behind your back here - but - do you really believe you'll be autonomous and predict human's world soon?
