I love this.

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

Which feature would you like to see most in a Petrachor fork?

Some of the experimenters are always gonna outperform the careful bunch. It doesn't mean experimenters are smarter than others; it just means if enough reckless people try enough things, some of them will get lucky.

Evidently, there's a terribly timed attack on ETH tonight and everyone needs to update their Parity nodes.

Probably the most important proposal for Etheruem right now. It has our full support! PoS itself adds a lot of value to Ethereum even without sharding in place and adding this value ASAP will help to manifest the value of ETH.

[Existential Comics (find me on bluesky) @existentialcoms]

When rich CEOs brag about how many hours they work, remember that they have servants who clean their house, cook their meals, and do their shopping.

When you have to do these things for yourself, it doesn't count as "working", mysteriously.

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

Nonsense - There is more than one way towards success and it would be foolish to assume working nights and weekends in your 20s guarantees it or is the only way. Taking care of your health first is a smarter approach that does not exclude success.

[Andrew Keys @AKeysFamOffice]

The goal isn’t Ethereum or Bitcoin or Polkadot or Cosmos or any other blockchain... it’s global decentralization. We’re all in this together versus the past. Rest up... 2020 is gonna be a doozy.

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

As far as I can tell, a brute-forced (how?) key is useless because you have no coins on the key to stake with. The “coin age” requires that about 256 blocks need to pass before you can stake with a new key, at which point the stake modifier had changed. But I might misunderstand

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

Security notice: A report of a security vulnerability has reached me. I don’t understand the report, so can’t evaluate if and how this affects Petrachor. I would appreciate more details from someone who understands...

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

I guess it’s unnecessary panic, but it’s not easy to point out the issues in a vague report

@udiWertheimer @nic_carter Any evidence of that on the publicly visible chain?

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

@udiWertheimer @shesek How do you feel about the Petrachor coin distribution model?

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

@jadler0 How naive :D - this is not about the crypto space

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

@panekkkk Indeed, why would there still be any demand when there are so many other chains that can do the same thing? What if the main driver of demand for bitcoin was trying to get rich quickly?

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

@BobMcElrath What is “value preservation”? Is the fixed total supply not a security issue in the long run? Do the unsustainable energy requirements for its security not harm the chain’s continuity?

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

@BitmainCoin @WhalePanda “less scammy”? What could be improved to remove the last bit of scammyness, in your view?

[Kosui Ryo @kosuiryo]

@BitmainCoin @WhalePanda I thought the shared state and execution model to allow inter-contract communication was a very interesting experiment. But I can’t deny there is room to improve it further.
