@BrentNeiman Anything worth noticing？

[Sergey Gorbunov @sergey_nog]

There will be 1000 write-ups criticizing the technology, approach, or distribution of @worldcoin. In fact, it's pretty easy to do this for any person with crypto/security background. + You'll get a lot of media attention.

But I think it's important to take a step back, imagine the potential of what if this actually works, understand the technical limitations, and see how we can solve one problem at a time. The project is still in the early phases of development.

After browsing the docs for a few hours (they're very good for an early-stage project), here're a few low hanging recommendations to the team.

* Make the audits public. Seems there were two audits done by Nethermind & Least Authority. The audits are not public yet. https://t.co/uxL8wFTIEA

* Run public security contests and bug bounties. e.g., using @immunefi and @code4rena.

* Clearly state the assumptions. In any crypto/security system, it's important to understand the roots of trust. The assumptions should be of the form: "We trust that (a) the Orb is not compromised, (b) the PKI around the Orb is secure, (c) the ZK proof by Groth16 is secure, (d) the user's device storing the key is secure, etc."

* State the assumptions around the Orb. e.g., The Orb generates an iris code of length X such that for all scans of all Orbs of the same person, the Hamming distance between any two pairs of scans is < Y, and for all pairs of iris scans that belong to different people, the Hamming distance is greater than Z.

* It wasn't clear to me where the iris data is stored and not stored. Make that very explicit. Which devices / services have access to the full iris data vs its fingerprint? Is the fingerprint lossy or cryptographically secure? [i.e., no info about the pre-image, the iris sequence itself, can be extracted from the public info (statistically) vs its protected using crypto and holds private under some crypto assumptions].

* Anticipating a backlash of academic papers breaking the protocol, pro-actively engage with them. e.g., create research grants for folks to write a paper breaking some part of the protocol && suggesting a way to fix and improve it.

* Start an open-source research / development program for alternatives to the Orb hardware implementation.

We wrote an article about KYC-free instant crypto exchanges like @FixedFloat. What are they?

Liquidity inside @TornadoCash 100 ETH pool has recovered 50% from the panic withdrawals caused by the sanction last August. More headaches for @FBI and compliance teams

Anyone familiar with these two addresses on Tron? Trying to figure out what are these addresses:
TXBTkk1L35oEYwvENhQHG8bJGZvJbSqYk7
TPHNzrwNJoivC34Fe6xVDRj6xhYnCZPXTF

They look like gambling dapp hot wallets

🧵 Today, I'm sharing my long-standing theory behind a US government covert operation designed to partially crack Bitcoin privacy and deanonymize transactions. I believe that popular Bitcoin mixer ChipMixer is actually a United States government honeypot. Here's why.

TLDR

SVB depositors will have access to all of their money Monday

Signature Bank closed, all depositors will be made whole

Fed will make available additional funding to eligible depository institutions

Fed prepared to use its full range of tools to support households and businesses

@nitrocartel the team should disclose more details how you protect the floor

So…$APT has been outperforming in the last couple of weeks. Why? What is the latest with #Aptos and what is coming up for this new #Layer1?

A new era for the $WOO token

As a first step in a series of improvements, WOO Network has burned 705M $WOO tokens - over 24% of the total supply.

Here’s a breakdown of how we are propelling $WOO into a position of strength in the market (1/4)

This is how early we are in #Crypto

3 years ago: literally nothing

Not talking about infrastructure, talking about usage...

2 years ago: a blip

Today: monthly fees in deepest Crypto winter make #DeFi summer 2020 look trivial

[Arthur Hayes @CryptoHayes]

It’s like the BOJ is taking lessons from ⁦@SBF_FTX⁩. When you own over 50% of a market is it even a market anymore? $FTT = $JGB
