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 fomo traders another memecoin until you realise you forgot to add an owner to the mint function and decide to rug everyone. But you know what? I fucking do care.

You most probably don't care about censorship resistance and are happy with centralised sequencers and upgradeable contracts with a single EOA admin. But you know what? I fucking do care.

I stand here in our pursuit of a more private, secure, and censorship-resistant future. Let us proceed together apace.

Onward.

You make knives.

You are aware knives can be weapons, but you make cooking knives. You make them for disadvantaged people to cook, though many live in high-crime places.

You are now facing prison because others committed crimes with your knives.

Should you go to prison?

I noticed something about successful non-technical SaaS co-founders.

They don’t delegate boring or time consuming tasks like testing. They don’t complain about doing customer support. They don’t 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, EFF’s @aaron_d_mackey told @DLNewsInfo. “We’re going to see a lot of potential chilling effects.” https://t.co/7SZst1CFgb

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: https://t.co/n8Q4PnOze6

[Sky @SkyEcosystem]

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:

• Faster experimentation: SubDAOs can explore emerging ideas and technologies without slowing down the core MakerDAO governance process.

• Managed risk: Each SubDAO concentrates on a specific area, facilitating focused risk management and mitigation strategies.

• Delegated decision-making: SubDAOs manage complex decisions within their domain, allowing Maker Core to tackle broader strategic issues.

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.

Nice provocations for addressing our biases generally

[π* | ¤ @totlsota]

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 exist to stop you from screwing yourself by being biased and dumb
- Sharpe is good but you can't eat it
- high Sharpe is about learning rate, not just a want for smooth pnl, It governs how quickly you know if your model works or not. High sr, you know quickly if you are wrong, low sr, takes a long time to know
- when you make money because of a process / system error - curse and fume
- watch how much are you torturing the data to make it tell you the story you want to support your opinion
- know what you suck at and make sure your team covers each others shortcomings
- when you see something you don't like in your trading ask: what is the data i am emitting with my behaviour that others can see? you leave a data slug trail. think "how can i eliminate my data trail" AND "how can i make a signal out of this to see it from others"

@ncerovac @hudsonjameson I loved FT Labs back in the day. FT knows how to ship.

Decisions, decisions... 🤔💭

'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.

@dlvhdr Beep boop splish splash. Just a headsup that https://t.co/00FhdGNgWT is throwing a Bad Gateway error.

Wonderful blog btw, loving all the CLI stuff

🤚 raise your hand if you sysoped or couriered a BBS

[Michael Gogel @mgogel]

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.

@damianmarti @austingriffith I thought it was you, or at least something demoed on Bow Tie Friday around 2 years ago 😂

[SaintSal 🦇🔊🦞🌱 @SaintSal]

@austingriffith @damianmarti I'm trying - for the life of me - to find a project from a few years ago: Grabbable Loogies. It was a kind of Harberger Tax pattern.

Do I remember this right? Remember where it is?

(I can't find it in the scaffold-eth branches or Damu's github)

Same applies to wedge computing, I mean Edge Computing (tm).

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.

Hey Web3 Devs, looking for some testnet tokens?
