@maxdesalle im all in for supporting freedom tech, even wrote a blog post on it. but tbh it's pretty reasonable for people to be concerned here, i wouldn't make fun of them for changing their mind

I was able to replicate finding the Zcash Orchard vulnerability using GPT 5.5 without a harness and little to no steering (except for passing the files).

GPT 5.5 is consistently able to find this vulnerability.

Opus 4.8 released on May 25th, and the vulnerability was found one day later, on May 26th. GPT 5.5 released on April 23rd, meaning someone could’ve found the vulnerability using GPT 5.5 for an entire month.

@Bkclaims zcash's privacy hasn't been cracked, it's an inflation bug

@workinpro how likely does it seem to you someone could have prompted this?

I know what it's like.

You've spent months reading and listening to everything you can about your new favorite coin. All the influencers - followed. All the podcasts - consumed. All the blogs - browsed.

Then it happens - something goes a little wrong, and people on X start bad-mouthing your project. A visceral reaction wells up in you, ready to defend your coin's tribe to the death, no matter what.

None of us want to hear that something is imperfect about the tribe we've connected with and the tech we've embraced, and yet, that same project can only improve by seeing mistakes made, learning from them, and finding ways to only become stronger.

Facing "FUD" or scary post from people like me on X is hard to do, but one of the most vital and important tools around is the ability to think critically and speak with nuance. How do you hone that skill? Engage with people with different viewpoints than you, honestly, and don't run away when the going gets tough.

Not just blindly rush to be a reply-guy, but finding thoughtful ways to engage, ask questions, and dig deeper into the claims being made. If they're false? Call them out for it, and explain why they're false.

Don't blindly believe your favorite tribal influencer, and definitely don't blindly believe me. But look at each failure and mistake within your chosen tribe as a chance for you to better understand the tech, better grasp how the community functions, and come to terms with the fact that no one is perfect, and thus no cryptocurrency project is perfect.

@Akashq10 how did you solve it?

@ni5arga @notself i think most people don't know this but Palantir doesn't collect data itself, it's a platform that helps organizations organize, analyze, and act on data they already have from various sources.

it's customers use palantir to make sense of their data

@0xAishwary @saravan1902 @KoinBX from what i have seen, people complain about how they can't withdraw crypto out of most exchanges

[Zero @zeroSp3c]

@0xAishwary not really a problem, what exchanges lack is crypto withdrawal to wallets

[Zero @zeroSp3c]

@KushaalPatel does it allow withdrawal of privacy coins like ZEC?

@jeremiahrogers idk much about this to have a good opinion, but about the israel argument... isn't it likely that the nation that's good at surveillance (as the critics say), people there would be good at building tools to protect against it too due to their understanding of the tech?

@ToKTeacher @AISafetyMemes Recently, AI models have solved decades-old open mathematical problems, including several of the famous Erdős conjectures. While the media often portrays this as AI "inventing new math," the reality is much more grounded in how these models actually function.
