I work in a critical industry, and a dangerous one at that. You wanna know what my greatest fear is?
It's not getting crushed by faulty machinery, or getting some lethal chemical in my eyes, or losing a hand in some industrial accident. No, it's someone getting killed because they, or the people around them, decided to skip a few steps.
It almost happened yesterday, guy walks right in front of a moving forklift withoutt a fucking care in the world. Driver had to slam the brakes and still got within a literal inch of the guy. It did happen a few weeks ago, where a guy in a sister-facility turned himself into human barbecue on a CNC when he opened it up without disconnecting the power supply.
I can't emphasize enough, if you're EVER working with a non, to any extent, and they're responsible for something that can effect or harm you if something goes wrong, they're not responsible. YOU are responsible, and you need to consider both as being workplace hazards. If you're travelling, don't trust them to safeguard your safety. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK. This goes for all situations like that of course, but doubly so when you're abroad.
Zcash brought zk to life.
We made it fast.
We made it usable.
Now we make the supply trustlessly verifiable.
Then we scale. Then quantum secure.
Private digital cash. ZEC for billions.
In Japan, a gorilla named Kiyomasa got into a fight with his mate. She kicked him out of their enclosure at the zoo, and he was later spotted sitting alone, seemingly rethinking his life choices
Opus 4.8 launched on 28 May
Zcash white hat engineers found bug using it on 29 May
Patch made in just 4 days
Fiind me a more competent team than $ZEC folks
Extremely bullish 🚀
Very important update. There will be bugs in all software. The best hope is to have the very best teams find them first. Like this case.
I strongly support Zcash.
Shielded Labs has now funded efforts that helped to discover and remediate at least two major vulnerabilities in Zcash before they could be used by the bad guys!
Given the time available and the number of parties involved (the devs at @zodl_app and @ZcashFoundation, miners, exchanges, others), this was the most ambitious network upgrade in Zcash's history.
I'm especially grateful to my team, including @feministPLT, @nuttycom, @str4d, @thecodebuffet, @NealJayu, and @peacemongerZ. Little sleep for days. Focused on execution. Collaborating. No compromises. All in. Built to win.

The biggest hurdle to @Zcash adoption is self-custodial adoption in my opinion
Most people I know are bidding $ZEC on CEXs
That defeats the purpose, my guy
Here’s my running list of places to swap and self-custody $ZEC:
1. @zodl_app (formerly Zashi)
2. @NEARProtocol Intents
3. Native Swap via @Maya_Protocol
> @HusherExchange - Native $ZEC available
> THORChain / THORSwap
Zodl is the cleanest options if you want the flagship self-custody wallet experience
It’s shielded by default and built by @zcash OGs like @jswihart & co.
CrossPay for in-wallet crosschain swaps and in-app voting rolled out recently as well
The bigger point is simple
You should not leave your $ZEC sitting on a centralized exchange to get exposure
One last cool feature I just learned:
Shielded $ZEC is built into @brave browser wallet
That's a game changer for Brave users and moving magic internet money around
I'm so proud of my good friend Max Hillebrand for completing such an excellent book.
Max is a true cypherpunk, deeply respected within the Austrian School and one of the nicest humans i know. The comment he wrote within left a tear in my eye.
