Cryptography R&D Consulting via @hashcloak

[Mikerah @badcryptobitch]

ANNOUNCEMENT: @HashCloakLabs is not @hashcloak.

It's an impersonator.

@hashcloak is a consulting company and under NO circumstances will we be launching a coin.

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm pretty generally anti-shitcoin (with nuances of course).

If you bought a token supposedly associated with hashcloak, you've been scammed.

Me with my meme folder waiting for this to happen

What some confidential USDC wrappers are already doing is holding the funds in a lending pool to make the blast radius of a freeze as big as possible

I logged into a client’s LinkedIn account and found something surprising.

Hundreds of connection requests sitting untouched and a few dozen DMs from prospects expressing interest.

Reminder to not get lazy with the basics!

I hate asking for money. But that’s how the system works.

Legal defense isn’t free, and I need the community’s help to keep fighting.

Until this case is dismissed, building DeFi - protocols, UIs, tooling carries real legal risk for everyone in this space. The outcome here affects all of us.

[Mikerah @badcryptobitch]

Yes.
Otherwise, it will never be a good time and you will forever push it off.

That being said, do your research first before getting a pet. To them, you are a part of their entire lives. To you, they are in your life for a short while (assuming average human lifespans). So, it's not something to take lightly.

@ebfull @zksecurityXYZ What are y'all doing for MPC?

[Mikerah @badcryptobitch]

@0xSufist What does OCD have to do with this?

[Mikerah @badcryptobitch]

I hate linktrees in bios.

All of those links should just be on your website.

Who are you optimizing for?

[Mikerah @badcryptobitch]

@CupOJoseph Skill issue.

In the beginning, sure, the CEO should do approvals but after a while, that should move under the purview of the marketing team and someone from that team should be reporting back to the CEO.

[Stoffel @StoffelMPC]

Secret sharing doesn't mean keeping secrets.

It means splitting them — so no single party ever holds enough information to reconstruct the input alone.

This is the foundation of how MPC works. Each party receives a share. Shares are meaningless in isolation. The computation runs across all parties simultaneously, and the result emerges without any node ever seeing the raw data.

No trust required. No single point of failure. No exposure window.

@MartinShkreli Use an OSS model and fine tune using https://t.co/c1HCfm6EOI

[Mikerah @badcryptobitch]

@MCovBrown Did they recently change this?
LinkedIn also deboosted your post if you have links in the main post which is why you saw a lot of "check the comments for the link" style CTAs.

[Mikerah @badcryptobitch]

@push_ip Yeah, basically 😅
The normies know how to market though

[Mikerah @badcryptobitch]

With AI tools, so many people have been literally rolling their own crypto, trying to rewrite basic chat apps...

If this isn't a signal that normies want more privacy then I don't know what is

[Mikerah @badcryptobitch]

@jeftovic Lol, we are Canadians.
In reality, Netflix will just increase the subscriptions and we will gladly pay it just like we overpay for everything else 🤣

[Mikerah @badcryptobitch]

It's getting worse.

This is exactly why I don't use dating apps

First Bumble, now Grindr...

🚨 Grindr allegedly targeted in breach exposing massive 15M+ users

A threat actor on an underground forum is claiming to sell a complete user database allegedly originating from Grindr, the LGBTQ+ dating and social networking app. The actor says the data includes personal registration information.

The actor claims the database contains over 15M user records with highly sensitive personal data.

[Stoffel @StoffelMPC]

Still storing behavioral data in a third-party pipeline?

When raw data has to exist somewhere to be processed, that somewhere is the exposure. MPC removes the requirement entirely — computation happens across distributed parties, and no single node ever sees the input.

Security guarantees are mathematical. Not contractual.

This exact sentiment is what I noticed years ago when hiring interns. major reason why I kind of just stopped hiring interns.

Very few people nowadays have an interest in software engineering and learning things beyond the basics.

They like the signalling attached to working in tech but not the work

[John Loeber 🎢 @johnloeber]

By the way, all I really look for are people who understand their tools. I want people who like computers and have the curiosity to get to know the tools they use, so they can be a little more effective on the job. A hint of passion for the work, revealed by expertise.

But I talk to tons of candidates who have no interest in computers and feels like they somehow got memed into SWE cause it's the next doctor/lawyer/whatever.

And I'm talking to mostly senior candidates -- can you imagine working in a stack for five, ten years and never really taking the time to understand what's going on? always reading the docs, just enough to solve the immediate problem, then instantly forgetting? muddling through with some kind of bare minimum of half-knowledge? Man, this feels bleak
