Imagine a world where any bozo with a laptop can create a privacy-preserving smart contract.

We're building that.

Cryptography is not a crime.

@SpearbitDAO Another point is that an audit seems to imply that the total security of project has been checked and that there are no issues. In reality, these engagements have real constraints on time, resources, and experience of the people working on it

[Spearbit @spearbit]

It's time for a web3 security culture shift.

❌ Auditor | Audits
✅ Security Researcher | Security Reviews

Why does this matter and is it really just semantics?

Here's why shifting the narrative and identity from auditors to security researchers is crucial to our industry.

The danger of AI is not that it’s actually intelligent. It’s going to be useful!

The danger is that AI will be used by the ruling class: They will use AGI as an excuse to enforce increasingly brutal public policies for the long-term « greater good »

@parazyd Definitely. i think most people just see 'zk' and think it means privacy automatically. probably projects are taking advantage of that ambiguity for marketing

@i_bogosavljevic Macos kernel does this too

@ox_Elliot @pashov There seems to be a bit of a pipeline where top auditors on c4 spin off into doing solo audits and exit the platform. Scoring well on c4 builds trust and a brand. Then you can charge a higher hourly or flat rate that results in a higher payout than the average c4 contest

@0xfoobar @dystopiabreaker @Sean00990 @tszzl "For especially critical keys, or for very
powerful systems or systems where user-perceived performance is not critical, an iteration count of 10,000,000 may be appropriate."

@chompie1337 Thanks for posting. I've learned a lot from you

[Sly Waters @waters_sly]

I love books and yet I think it's an anachronism to overvalue them
For experimental, technical, and niche topics it's often better to consult online resources

[Sly Waters @waters_sly]

@pashov @cmichelio This is how I got started too. Extremely valuable

@vividvoid I don't think this is true unless you mean the shallowest daily horoscope astrology
I'm not that knowledgeable but there's a "dark side" element in one's chart w/ an implicit directive to integrate the destructive/conflicting aspects of a personality
e.g. north and south nodes

Remarkable how matter-of-fact offensive cyber operations have become. Normalizing fast. In this case, disruptions across borders to preempt a hypothetical action in the future

@SantaBaccalieri True Maude was relatively chill

@etoeth There's a book about this called The Millionaire Next Door

Main takeaways are that flashy luxury items usually entail the buyer being in a lot of debt. Also that most people who made a lot of money are thrifty and not-impulsive. Makes sense when you think about it
