Software security, markets, and bitcoin cash. Working on $BCH and @Bitauth, previously @BitPay. Lead maintainer @ChaingraphCash, @Libauth, and @BitauthIDE.
In the rest of this thread, I'll describe CashTokens and why I think they're an important tool for expanding financial access and protecting human rights.
💯 Still plenty of work to do, but it can and must be done. Beyond the UX gains, all Satoshi-derived nodes will continue to require security hardening this year, and spreading out confirmed throughput by 10× would meaningfully harden node security and tx censorship resistance.
Bend 2 is here!
It is a new programming language that blocks AI mistakes via *proof checking* - the same technique big AI labs used to solve open math problems, like Navier-Stokes.
It is also very fast, and runs on GPUs.
Watch the video. Link in the comments.
1/ Today we're releasing Lattice Jolt: a post-quantum version of the Jolt zkVM, built on lattices instead of elliptic curves. It's _faster_ than curve-based Jolt and has the shortest proofs of any post-quantum zkVM — under 100 KB.

BCH Pod hits 10k Twitter followers.🔥🧨 Doubters once again in total disbelief.😮 Ty @patriotsounds for final push.
2/3rds progress to 1M (exponentially). 3.5y ago: Selene in quiet MVP dev.🤯 No BLISS, BLAZE, Bullet, ConsensusCash.🫨
100k next. BCH -> Global reserve currency💪
Have you experimented with more /agent-fungibility-philosophy orchestration, where agents are self-running via /goal and orchestrator is just monitoring for contention? Or is /vibing-with-ntm still your driver? A couple /goal agents seem to help with orchestrator tunnel vision, but I haven't found a balance yet.
@doodlestein Anything in particular you're planning to add before it becomes a daily driver? (Or maybe this is replacing an internal tool you've already been using?)
@doodlestein seems like limits were even tighter than usual over the past few hours. How do you watch token usage and session concurrency now? (across machines?)
Update: Coordinated Network Upgrade for Orchard transactions.
The network upgrade is in progress. During this period, the Zcash network continues to run, and transparent and Sapling-shielded transactions are functioning normally. The Network Upgrade is specific to the mining of Orchard transactions.
There is no evidence of any exploit. Your funds and privacy are safe. No user action is needed.
Ecosystem-wide coordination includes deployment of both consensus nodes: zcashd, zebrad, as well as SDKs and other supporting infrastructure. As part of this coordinated rollout, several mining pools requested additional time to complete deployment and quality-control procedures, particularly given the need to coordinate teams and operators across multiple time zones.
We anticipate that miners will begin accepting Orchard transactions again at approximately 23:00 EDT.
Additional information will be shared when the upgrade is complete.
@DocumentingBTC Because if the successor is a chainsplit of BTC, that's a PLUS not a problem.
I.e. if BCH is the only chain that can flip BTC, it makes BCH a great buy and INCREASES confidence in it. Why? Because BCH holders would get chainsplit coins on BCH2 just like BTC holders did for BCH.
