After years running SEAL 911 and coordinating incident response, we've identified a critical gap: while many protocols have strong smart contract audits, there's no standardized way for them to demonstrate operational security maturity.

@BlockEnthusiast @ChainLinkGod @sassal0x @Tim_Roughgarden yes exactly, i was trying to emphasize the same thing sybil resistance is an inherent property of permissionless consensus. its essentially implied with a quality leader selection mechanism like eth is no more sybil resistant than btc. its not special or stronger in PoS

@sooper__ @ChainLinkGod @sassal0x @Tim_Roughgarden It just feels like a ridiculous thing to harp about as a feature when there are actual applications that need sybil resistance because they have exposure. And that resistance is a function of how much it dampens that exposure. Cant dampen 0.

Proof of Stake without economic penalties is completely useless. This is why comparing Ethereum PoS to other PoS chains is a fool's errand - they are very different. Ethereum has optimized for maximum security and decentralization - other chains have optimized for gaslighting.

@BlockEnthusiast @ChainLinkGod @sassal0x @Tim_Roughgarden or in other words, eth is NOT resistant to an entity with 51% of the stake (or whatever the higher technical % is) but it is resistant to sybils. and hashpower. and water. and space bugs! 😂

@BlockEnthusiast @ChainLinkGod @sassal0x @Tim_Roughgarden hehehe actually yes exactly! thats the point im trying to make, i agree the definition is pretty mundane. sybil resistance is just about sybils having no distinct advantage power is proportional to your resources like youre saying, not the number of nodes you run ...

@BlockEnthusiast @ChainLinkGod @sassal0x yes tldr sybil resistance is one entity/many nodes. but in consensus it's about probability of proposing the next block *remaining the same whether you sybil or not* e.g. bitcoin is sybil resistant bc 1 miner/10% HP is same as 10 miners/1% HP @Tim_Roughgarden on YT is awesome

@ChainLinkGod @sassal0x If you had the capital to do so, it would do nothing from preventing you from being a single entity.

you either accept all digital space is ruled by those currently in power, or you demand digital space is its own nation free from the shackles of current regimes.

hot take the most underrated reason that crypto will win is because "don't trust, verify" is the only solution for a world that has completely lost trust in every institution it inhabits

What can I do charity-wise that doesn't include just yeeting money into the hands of a profitable organisation with opaque dealings Where or which organisations can I give to and see real results in real time? I'm talking building wells, funding schools, housing families etc

@LogarithmicRex @haydenzadams @tracyalloway congratulations!

6 years ago, I left my job at Anheuser-Busch InBev, unsure of where I was going but sure that I did not fit into the corporate world. For a long time I was truly adrift in strange waters... until May 2021, when I heard @haydenzadams explain Uniswap and Ethereum to @tracyalloway and @thestalwart on the Odd Lots Podcast. Since that day I have been captured. Although it took a couple years, I eventually realized that this wasn't a fluke - that podcasts have a special power. Last year I started my very own podcast, @StrangeH2OPod. For me, Strange Water has become so much more than just a podcast; it is by far the most important way that I stay ahead of the deluge of research and ideas that come out of this space. Over the last year, Strange Water has become my professional identity in this space. And so, I could not be more thrilled to announce that the Strange Water Podcast is being acquired by @blockworks! Although this news comes with the sad announcement that we will be sunsetting Strange Water, it is far overshadowed by the incredibly exciting launch of @ExpansionPod_. Expansion will be everything Strange Water was and more, backed by an incredibly co-host @nosleepjon and the formidable brand, resources and experience of Blockworks! I couldn't be more excited to join Blockworks! I had the incredible fortune to visit the offices and meet the team over the last few months and I am utterly floored. There are a few moments in life when you walk into a room and realize you are the dumbest person in the room - that's what it's like being at Blockworks. Thank you @MikeIppolito_ and @JasonYanowitz for everything you've built and everything you've done for me and Strange Water. I could not be more excited for this next chapter!

VCs who have now deigned themselves to dignify memecoins construe them as “tokenizing community, tokenizing culture, creating new asset classes” and we’re all like, actually we just like playing musical chairs why are you saying all of that stuff it’s making me uncomfortable

What crypto podcasts do you guys listen to? Seems like Bankless has lost mind share, UpOnly is non operational, Uncommon Core isn’t really posting What are you listening to? And what kind of podcasts does the space need?
