Comedian Sean Hughes’ £4million estate given to charity after decade-long will battle nme.com/news/tv/comedi…

@NME He drove a really shitty car and he had all that money

@NME @back_the_BBC I wonder how much of his estate was wasted on legal fees....

@NME Met him at an inspiral carpets concert in 89!! Lovely fella & what a lovely thing to do leaving it all to shelter ❤️

@NME I hope shelter use the properties to actually house people. Not sell them to another landlord. Be interesting to see where there priorities are

@NME An insane amount of time to have to have waited. Think what Shelter could have done with the funds during that period.

Inflation. GDP. Interest Rates. I explain them and more in plain English. Get smarter here!

@NME Funny guy in life, but of a legend in leaving it all to charity, hope it makes a huge difference for many.

@NME Bless this man, still looking after his fellows even in death. 🫶☘️🇮🇪

@NME Pretty tragic and unfulfilled life, basically drank himself to death because of loneliness.

@NME Didn’t even know he was dead ffs

@NME Didn’t even know he died. Or who he was!

@NME £4 million?

@NME I'm sorry Who complained?

@NME Seany's show

@NME Its Seanys Show doo doo doo doo

@NME Good . . . miss Sean

Privacy is one of the most underrated drivers of mass adoption in crypto People talk about scalability and UX, but without privacy, blockchains simply can’t move beyond niche usage. And the easiest way to understand this is through real everyday use cases, because until you see them, it’s hard to grasp why privacy actually matters. Use Case 1: Private Salaries On-chain payroll sounds cool until you realize it makes every salary, bonus and promotion publicly visible. No company wants competitors or random users seeing their entire compensation structure, and no employee wants their income exposed on a block explorer. With FHE, payroll can be fully automated on-chain while all amounts stay encrypted — visible only to the person getting paid. Use Case 2: Private Spending & Purchases In the real world, your daily spending is private by default. On-chain, every payment exposes your balance and full financial history. FHE fixes this: you can pay normally while your amounts and balances stay confidential. Use Case 3: Private P2P Transfers Sending money to a friend or family member shouldn’t reveal your entire financial life. But that’s exactly what happens today on public blockchains. With confidential transfers, the network validates the transaction, but the amount and balances remain encrypted. They’re basic situations everyone deals with daily. And rn, they simply don’t work on transparent blockchains. @zama fits perfectly here It doesn’t replace blockchains, it upgrades them with real privacy. No new environment, just confidentiality on demand. Exactly what’s needed for mass adoption.

@NME I’ve never heard of him, tbh
