While many of us care a lot about decentralization, that isn't how we should pitch it. For most, decentralization is the means, the ends is mass coordination and agreement. Scalability is how we are going to get there and for that reason I am also deeply focused on Plasma on ETH

Excited to be backing https://t.co/nPRpPdERzR- not only because it is a big idea but they are focused on community alignment, giving tokens to who matters. 1. Raise money/sell small stake of tokens πŸ’° 2. Give said money away to FOSS πŸ’Έ 3. Give rest of tokens away to FOSS Devs πŸ’»

I'm contributing to a new Decentralized CA and naming project with a bunch of friends. The goal is to replace the Certificate Authority system entirely and to not have that annoying SSH fingerprint question.

Certificate Authorities and DNS are the foundation in which all of the internet services stand upon. The green lock icon in your browser may not be as secure as you think, there have been many known security failures (see DigiNotar in 2011).

The ssh client can verify that the name record matches the server's pubkey record, it's working on the testnet blockchain now (it's experimental though, but has SPV too!).

Don't mean to be too preachy about it; there were lots of discussions after the event with how to positively handle these types of situations in crypto.

Both @Excellion summarizing his views on Bitcoin Core's position and @rogerkver emphatically presenting his concerns on LN&BTC should be seen as an example of (mostly) respectful discourse. It's important to recognize that honest, respectful disagreements are preferred.

The confrontation at the conference should not be seen as a normal response to disagreements in the crypto ecosystem. It was an extremely strong response to extreme, intentional deception. True, respectful disagreements of philosophy should be celebrated.

The money people/culture entering is nothing compared to the existing toxic culture and team sports politics. We can and will do better.
