So we have the names of the people who donated to the Trucker's Convoy, but not the names of Ghislaine Maxwell's customers?

Life imitates art

[Orlando Bravo @OrlandoBravoTB]

A good leader rallies everyone around a mission. A great leader allows for that mission to evolve based on the creativity of the individuals within the organization.

[Molly Mielke McCarthy @mollyfmielke]

so sick of seeing smart young ppl pursue regular rat races but then paint their morally-murky work as being mission-driven in order to signal that they're a good person. subtly lying to yourself creates reality distortion ripples that degrade your ability to see solutions clearly

@RaoulGMI 100% agree. What viable alternatives exist?

@NicoleBehnam "Got a minute" is just a polite way of asking for an hour?

@dabit3 Ethereum and cosmos-sdk based chains.
Ethereum - Popularity, network effects
cosmos-sdk - IMO, currently the best way to create custom chains

David's essay (and Cory's great echo) is pretty devastating re Proof-of-Work-based chains like BTC and ETH (today). However, they both dismiss two things I'd like to point out are not only "not that bad" but potentially worth redirecting public animus towards more fruitfully. 1/

@RyanBerckmans To clarify, are you talking about building an index based only on crawling those 1K apps/links?

Last week, I discovered (and reported) a critical bug (which has been fully patched) in @optimismPBC (a "layer 2 scaling solution" for Ethereum) that would have allowed an attacker to print arbitrary quantity of tokens, for which I won a $2,000,042 bounty. https://t.co/J6KOlU8aSW

@ZeMariaMacedo The band-aid solution might be more practical.

Announcing Concorde ✈️💬

Most people focus on developing apps that RUN in a decentralized way. But the efforts to create such apps are typically quite centralized. Concorde is BUILT in decentralized way

No staff PMs. No staff engineers. No central planning

@lzrscg Very interesting idea. Is there any code atm?
