Honored to publish my first article on the Coinbase blog!

[Coinbase 🛡️ @coinbase]

Interested in learning more about getting a token listed on Coinbase? Here are the qualities and security best practices we look for in every ERC-20 token: https://t.co/R0hm6ohSHS

I'm excited to announce a new DeFi primitive called option tokens (oTokens), and the Convexity Protocol, a protocol for fungible ERC20 options in DeFi. These oTokens serve as effective insurance and hedging instruments, and oracles of risk & volatility: https://t.co/z1bYL0M6u5

My writeup on the @Quantstamp protocol -- check it out!

[Quantstamp @Quantstamp]

Ever wondered about the need for smart contract security or audits? Here is a framework for understanding the Quantstamp protocol, its objectives and how it works.

Blackhat vendor on elevator: “Our security team said we are not allowed to use the WiFi in our hotel room so I am running to the lobby to answer some emails.”

Me: That feeling when you want to cry, laugh and scream at the same time.

[Internet of Shit @internetofshit]

here's the world's first blockchain lightbulb! it's very good but bear in mind it'll take 14 minutes to turn off because we need to verify the transaction 374882 times

[Suhail @Suhail]

There's no upside in hating on someone's idea. You come off as non-believer or ruin their confidence. Instead, just ask the questions that make you hesitate & let them come to their own conclusion. If you're right, you helped them think it through. If you're wrong, you'll learn.

[I Am Devloper @iamdevloper]

has anyone else noticed the subtle irony of a "sprint" lasting 2 weeks?

lets just call it a "crawl" from now on.

What's the best way of representing a hash?

Not just for comparing two hashes, but also for transcribing them over the phone, for sending them over email and messengers, etc. https://t.co/CZ3CmW2z2l

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Breaking: the U.S. Senate just voted 52-47 vote on the bill to restore #NetNeutrality  and to protect a fair and open internet. Amazing victory for consumers, small businesses and rural communities. Final vote at 3. Watch on CSpan!

[Nate ⓩ🛡 @nate_zec]

@harryhalpin We'd love to get you started on this! If you, or others you recommend, would like to do metadata and timing analysis research on Zcash, I highly encourage you to apply for a grant from the @zcashfoundation.

@rogerkver If no one wants to voluntarily interact with you, that's not censorship...

It's easy to see the output and hard to see the work that goes into it.
