We’re betting on the Proof of Work dev competition.
We’re betting that mining decentralizes and that the competition attracts a cracked community of high value people who really get it.
We may be right, or may be wrong.
Either way, we’re betting it all on what we believe.
Nockchain is intended to be fair-launched on May 19, 2025 by the @Nockchain foundation.
No pre-mine. 100% of $NOCK goes to miners.
Help bootstrap the future of verifiable computing through ZK-Proof of Work!
We quietly rolled out some HUGE updates to Groundseg recently. You may want to jump back into your favorite self-hosting dashboard and check these out.
-BACKUPS! We've literally been talking about this for three years now. GroundSeg will automatically back up your Tlon app's history and state once a day. StarTram subscribers get free encrypted daily remote backups!
-Boot a ship with a master ticket -- you don't even need to log into Bridge, GroundSeg will derive the keyfile
-Pier export improvements for large piers! GroundSeg used to choke on huge exports, but now it's breezey
-SLSA level 3 build provenance attestation! GS won't upgrade itself until it cryptographically verifies the legitimacy of the new binary and its dependency and build environment
-Fancy New domains! StarTram subscribers get a free <ship-name>.urb.it.com alternative URL for their ships!
Enjoy the update and see ya on the network!
Crypto needs to make a hard pivot from Telegram to Tlon Messenger.
Not your hardware, not your chats. Trusting Signal with your data is like trusting an exchange with your coins. Just self custody your data and coins.
@NativePlanetIO + Urbit unironically fixes this.
A New Proof of Work Asset Class
We propose an alternative style of PoW protocol, Zero-Knowledge Proof of Work (zkPoW), which corresponds to a new asset class of zkPoW base layer coins and zkPoW ecosystem assets.
@terribleMirrors We have tinkered with a few concepts in this vein. Running urbit on any kind of mobile device gets tricky, so you would still have it hosted somewhere. It would be cool to have a @tloncorporation dedicated little messaging device.
Our friends @ZorpZK built some Nockapp tools and told us to give 'em a try. @NalluxD jumped in and whipped up a POC "To-Do List" app in no time. Safe to say, we're quickly becoming big fans of Nockapp development.
