DCG subsidiary @FortitudeCrypto has announced a business combination with HeartSciences (Nasdaq: $HSCS), which is expected to become a public company under the ticker $TUDE. A leading Zcash $ZEC mining platform, Fortitude believes it will be the first publicly traded venture mining platform with a proven track record of identifying high-conviction, early-stage Proof-of-Work opportunities.

It was not practical to do this kind of verification until very recently, with LLMs that can generate the proofs instead of humans hand-writing them. (The proofs don't even have to be readable by humans, they can be pure slop, as long as the smaller theorems are correct.)
The first real formally verified (end-to-end) cryptographic protocols appeared about last year, written by hand at great expensive, and were for relatively simple protocols.
Grayscale Chairman Defends Zcash
Grayscale Chairman Barry Silbert (@BarrySilbert) says critics are unfairly portraying the Zcash (@Zcash) vulnerability as a negative event.
Silbert praised developers for identifying and fixing the issue, arguing the episode demonstrates the strength of the network.
The comments come after Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) sold his entire $ZEC position. ZEC is down roughly 30% in the wake of the controversy.
Bitcoin has a privacy flaw bug and a quantum attack bug. No teams tried to fix the 2 obvious bugs with a hard fork over past ten years.
Privacy is normal
Quantum-resistant is normal
Fix bugs is normal
Hard fork is normal
Funding dev teams is normal
Zcash is normal

@lukaskorba@BostonZcash After the AI Cyberpocalypse is over, we should give Lifetime Achievement Awards to these Zcash engineers who've been working super hard, day after day, week after week, month after month to protect all Zcash users through this historic transition from before AI to after AI.
Happy birthday! Thank you for your vision and for everything you’ve built for Zcash and digital privacy. Wishing you health, inspiration, and many achievements in this new year.
In 2016, the team led by @zooko created untrackable, unseizable, encrypted digital cash using Zero-Knowledge Proof technology.
The cryptography behind it was so advanced that Sergey Brin, Google, called it “mind-boggling.” Even today, 99% of humanity still doesn’t understand how it works. Yet now, almost every serious privacy-oriented project wants to implement ZK technology.
People like @jswihart and @ebfull are still working to make it easier to use, more scalable, and post-quantum ready. And people like @tyler, @cameron, and @naval are backing it financially and philosophically.
So let me ask you :
Is there anything more important for humanity than unstoppable private money?
For me, there isn’t.

Zcash wouldn't exist without @zooko. He seeded the technical and cultural values of the project that have kept us vigilant in defense of its integrity.
Much of Zcash's recent success has been because Zooko plays a less central role in the project, and it has decentralized and grown to transcend him. I think he would agree! But he is still a major spiritual force of the project, and an ally that wants it to succeed.
Let's be mindful of the signal we send our next generation of risk takers, by how we treat his legacy. Zcash has a long road ahead of it, and no single one of us can carry it across the finish line.
We're all liable to end up in @zooko's shoes one day. You do not want to be on the receiving end of the poetic justice served for the things you said when you were once on the winning team.
To those of you who will be leaving: Look into #SPX6900
This is going to happen across the board worldwide.
Employees that poured their lives into companies, just being laid off at the drop of a hat, because of AI.
While the system lays you off, your best option is to flip the damn thing with real people #SPX6900
lmao, for those who are unaware i started trading crypto in 2017
tm3k was one of the first ppl i interacted with on crypto twitter
dude has been nonstop shilling zcash for a decade now, & was tweeting 1 zec = 7 btc while the zecbtc pair just made new lows every single week 😂
