So stagnant in its development that it's started growing moss, no longer functional, overtaken by evolution is the read I'm getting from this?

Yes. I'm fucking serious. Here's why. 1. Narcotics being illegal forces their sale into black markets, which are regulated by violence, rather than governmental oversight. 2. Narcotics being illegal ensures that the profits from their sale funds criminal enterprises. 3.
@amazingatheist @jason_howerton "Narcotics shouldn't be illegal"... Are you fucking serious?

@samczsun @SEAL_911 I didn't appreciate until that moment how incredible it is for anyone in this industry to be able to hop into a chat with the likes of @tayvano_ @pcaversaccio or @samczsun. This enables not only users, but companies, and therefore the industry as a whole to safeguard itself.

It's looking like the Arti Tor implementation (written in Rust and funded by @ZcashCommGrants) is going to become the mainstream implementation! Cool. https://t.co/A8VjjGDvNa

Arti, the Rust rewrite of Tor, brings circuit isolation and onion service improvements in its 1.8.0 release.

Linux has finally ended the Rust experiment after years. The kernel is in a much better state this way. It seems the critics have finally won.

This tweet brought to you by discontent that "permissionless coin distribution" and "securing the chain" are both valuable things and PoW doesn't do a good job distinguishing between them.

Mining coins is just buying coins with extra steps. You're paying with ASICs or GPUs and electricity, and the seller is the consensus rules.

An absolutely wild thread.
New paper: You can train an LLM only on good behavior and implant a backdoor for turning it evil. How? 1. The Terminator is bad in the original film but good in the sequels. 2. Train an LLM to act well in the sequels. It'll be evil if told it's 1984. More weird experiments 🧵

The "champagne problem" of there being way too much happening in the Zcash ecosystem for me to keep track of is definitely here. Rocket-sled levels of acceleration.

this is one of the most fun 0-1 moments in crypto realizing you can have a private SoV in the largest private pool and making cross chain payments/swaps to any chain or token with a single click as needed while remaining invisible this is what crypto was supposed to be
Just paid for 2 years of @ProtonMail Unlimited using shielded Zcash Wait, but aren’t the Proton guys a bunch of toxic bitcoin maximalists? How is this even possible? Well, I’m glad you asked: @zashi_app has a “pay” feature that effectively swaps your shielded ZEC for BTC, ETH,

"This modern experiment where a single large government or corporation can monitor a billion people at once? That’s not safe. That’s not normal." I sat down with @zooko to discuss why the future of privacy actually looks like the past, and why @Zcash is the "high agency" money
🔒 Zcash Founder @Zooko warns that large-scale surveillance is “a radical, dangerous experiment,” arguing that Zcash simply restores the privacy people once took for granted. Check out our full @Zcash report: https://t.co/ttsC4xUbec
