@sowmaler @lastmjs That's one thing we're exploring. These workers are substantially easier to run in a TEE compared to the rest of the Internet Computer because they're stateless.

@lastmjs Thanks @lastmjs!

@josephcu I moved to Switzerland in January. Please do come visit whenever the pandemic is over - plenty of beautiful nature here too :)

@egypsci Crazy, right? Also, in computer science terminology, the RNA sequence of SARS-CoV-2 can be compressed to just about 8 kilobytes.

[Islam El-Ashi @ielashi]

@bilalghalib Pretty optimistic

Remember when @elk_cc turned on a lightbulb with a whisper message in Status?

They have just launched their kickstarter campaign to create the dev board for the decentralized World. You can get an Ethereum connected hardware board starting at $59 USD https://t.co/SD4g0DUKWG

@chloedorosario @TwitterAU @theodore_sua Keep rocking the @TwitterAU office, Chloe!

[Islam El-Ashi @ielashi]

Friends, we at @elk_cc have been hard at work the past few months to build something that I think is very, very cool. We launch on @kickstarter tomorrow!

We have a launch party tomorrow at our office. Join us! https://t.co/BWyS6ny7Id

@616476fbde873af @electronutLabs Whisper is using the Ethereum protocol for p2p discovery, but that's all. You don't need to own any Eth to use it

[Islam El-Ashi @ielashi]

@electronutLabs @616476fbde873af For the Elk board in general, you can use test Eth for building Ethereum connected projects. For other protocols owning Eth isn't needed.

[Islam El-Ashi @ielashi]

@616476fbde873af @electronutLabs Nope. We're using whisper, and that doesn't require owning Eth
