If you’re a proponent of decentralization but are still using Twitter and/or Facebook as your primary social networks, just know that I’m here quietly judging you.

Underrated how good of a fit Zcash is for activism.

Actual unstoppable freedom money.

[Sean Bowe @ebfull]

Late last year, we decided to use simpler and more conservative cryptography for Tachyon to reduce the chance of bugs. Earlier this year, we hired @zksecurityXYZ to help configure our circuits for formal verification.

Zcash's future shielded pools will all be provably sound.

[Cypherpunk ($CYPH) @cypherpunk]

Tachyon is bringing battle-tested security to Zcash.

With formal verification every circuit comes with a mathematical proof that it does what it's supposed to.

It will literally become impossible to find bugs in Zcash circuits moving forward.

[Cipherpay @cipherpay_app]

CipherPay is fully operational.

The Zcash Orchard pool upgrade (NU6.2) completed successfully, payment detection, invoices, and webhooks are all running normally.

No merchant action needed.

[Dev 🧪 @zkDragon]

@TheDesertLynx Indeed, last moments before formally verified pools

When's the last time you browsed a site without HTTPS? I genuinely can't remember.

In the 2000s, encrypted websites felt like sci-fi. Today, encrypted money does.

Give it time.

[Zcash Open Development Lab @zodl_co]

@DefuseSec @ZcashFoundation Excellent work, Taylor. Thank you for helping keep the Zcash ecosystem secure. 🫡

[Sean Bowe @ebfull]

Shielded Labs has now funded efforts that helped to discover and remediate at least two major vulnerabilities in Zcash before they could be used by the bad guys!

[Josh Swihart 🛡 @jswihart]

Given the time available and the number of parties involved (the devs at @zodl_app and @ZcashFoundation, miners, exchanges, others), this was the most ambitious network upgrade in Zcash's history.

I'm especially grateful to my team, including @feministPLT, @nuttycom, @str4d, @thecodebuffet, @NealJayu, and @peacemongerZ. Little sleep for days. Focused on execution. Collaborating. No compromises. All in. Built to win.

looking back at 2020 #DeFi: "where did it all go wrong?"

[@nutty.land / @[email protected] @nuttycom]

@defnotbeka What I read from that was that, given inflation, the purchase value was now equivalent to $5k. These days, from personal experience, the only one who'll take a set of fine china is a thrift store.

[@nutty.land / @[email protected] @nuttycom]

@defnotbeka Funny thing, today, you can't sell it. That value wasn't retained.

[Dev 🧪 @zkDragon]

S/O to Zebra for getting these in. All RPC's please update, lots of fixes in!

"A new onboarding method, applied to the Zcash stack at ZODL"

As mentioned, I officially started yesterday at ZODL.
I'm ramping up on the whole Zcash codebase, through different repositories (orchard, librustzcash, zcashd, zebra, halo2, wallet, zips, etc).

I am good at digesting a lot of knowledge quickly, and I can read code quickly and understand it quickly. However, going through all of these repo takes time (even though it is very well organized and pleasant to read!). And my colleagues are busy shipping fast this week!

Therefore, I have been experimenting with Claude Code to create onboarding materials, and I will try to update it over time.

See blog article: https://t.co/XaKS400ph6.

Onboarding docs (WIP - contains errors and hallucinations, for sure, but I'm fixing it quickly!):

@colludingnode Life hack: I haven't paid a lot of attention to OGs over the years, so I couldn't quote them if I wanted to.

More broadly, appeal to authority is a logical fallacy.

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.

“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”

@rollergirlVi @zooko I own a copy, and I'm pretty sure Zooko does too. :)

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

I disagree.

I think we should STOP doing this.
