Cryptocurrency as a community is divided, and I'm glad. At the center are a group of altruistic programmer-types, the same ethos as who made the open internet. The immediate circle around them are opportunists: scammers, shillers, dealers. But the heart is still gold.
Being a Cypherpunk means you act by principles. You most probably don't care about privacy and accept that every digital move is sold to the highest bidder. But you know what? I fucking do care. You most probably don't care about security and yolo deploy a contract to shill

I noticed something about successful non-technical SaaS co-founders. They donβt delegate boring or time consuming tasks like testing. They donβt complain about doing customer support. They donβt push technical founders to ship faster. They pull the product forward every week.

If Alexey Pertsev is convicted, authorities around the world might crack down on developers of privacy-enhancing tech, EFFβs @aaron_d_mackey told @DLNewsInfo. βWeβre going to see a lot of potential chilling effects.β

On the eve of Pertsev's trial in the Netherlands, prosecutors and privacy advocates square off. If found guilty, the verdict would send a βdangerous signalβ to open source developers. The indictment...

Maker is doubling down on SubDAOs to address core issues in typical DAO structures: shadow hierarchies that stall progress, costly proposals, and endless meetings. SubDAOs focus on team-driven decision-making. Background:
SubDAOs are specialized, self-governing teams that will act as the arms and legs of the MakerDAO ecosystem. They operate with a high degree of autonomy, allowing for: β’ Faster experimentation: SubDAOs can explore emerging ideas and technologies without slowing down the core

Wrote a (very short) story about Bulgaria. Early feedback: people take very different things from it. Started it 3 years ago, and it stuck with me all that time. Finished it last week. https://t.co/XIcQ6GyjqB

Nice provocations for addressing our biases generally
random thoughts for quant traders - trading is a business so trade to make money not to be smart, right, admired, or anything else or you will pay for those things - "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool" - your processes

Decisions, decisions... π€π 'Useful Not True' checkout daring me to choose wisely. Seriously, I love the Sivers-brand of roll-your-own, homemade app. Even the bugs have heart.

π€ raise your hand if you sysoped or couriered a BBS
The NFT and digital crypto art scene today is mimicking the Demoscene and ANSI/ASCII art scene of the 80s and 90s that originated in BBS and warez culture. These were the first decentralized teams, extremely well structured, and the precursors to DAOs nearly 30 years ago.

Crypto key management sucks. Why do we always need to sacrifice security or good experience, often both? This article explores the maze of #passkey, #webAuthn, #AA and #MPC. Combing together, an optimal solution may pop up to save our desperate souls. https://t.co/8APh3RDkwZ

I don't know why this is not a common practice. But please consider including your security contact as top comment for your deployed contracts. This would easily allow anyone to reach out to you if they find something severe. Many times, it's not clear from a single contract

Declaring you are a super app is like declaring youβre a schelling point. The declaration isnβt what matters itβs the facts.

Been a season of narrative games (making and playing) - A workshop in a film about conjuring Alice and Bob as cryptography deities - A dialectical scenario at NPC Day about AI and UN policy - And now I get to roll with SDP, famous for the CTF games at Devcon and CCC
Cashier: "The Orb has declined your payment. Please provide an alternative form of biometric authentication." "That's weird," you mutter, pressing your palm against the scanner with a sigh. "I don't like this. Fingerprints are way too easy to copy these days." #37c3 #thc

If Web3 is going to be the deciding "decentralised web" then we need to answer "where am I" from a UX standpoint, instead of avoiding the question by building on centralising platforms.
