在冬天遇见你哇 凛冬散尽 星河长明

PERSONAL UPDATE: After an amazing 3.5 years, I’m leaving a16z to work on something new (more on that below).

It’s been an incredible experience getting to work with our portcos alongside some of the smartest people I know. 

To the entire a16z team, especially @cdixon and Ali and the rest of the deal team: thank you for showing me what having a truly world-class culture means. You make a16z special.

To all the founders I’ve met and worked with: it’s been an honor to be a part of your journey. I’ve learned so much from you and am excited for the things to come.

So what’s next? I’m joining the indomitable @samrags and @rfs to build Merit Systems. We are building tools, markets, and mechanisms to create an entirely new economy for software creation and contribution.

Stay tuned for more information and announcements in the coming weeks. It’s time to build.

Assembling the dream team over here at Merit Systems

Spent the last few days rebuilding the @anoncast backend. 

Upgrades:
- Proof generation/verification is more than 10x faster
- Mobile works! Use in your favorite browser, or...
- Install anoncast.org as a PWA
- No more delays after posting, immediately see it on Warpcast

成功是一个过程，并不是一个结果。

每当看到工资条的时候，坐热锅里都捂不热我的心

上班还是有那么点好处的，比如别人都有三千烦恼丝，而我只有一千五

Design

NIST wants to ban ECDSA in 2035. It is tight.

HTTPS, messengers, cryptocurrencies and everyone else will need to move to new algorithms. Not all functionality is currently feasible in pq setting.

Here’s an excerpt from noble-post-quantum on speed & key size in JS implementations.

zk-SNARKs are hot right now, so probably a good time to leak what I've been working on.

Seeking privacy onchain isn’t a crime, but the challenge arises when bad actors exploit mixers for illicit activities, undermining the legitimate use case.

I'm building an Ethereum mixer on @base that only allows "good actors" to deposit. 

I feel there is enough onchain / social data on Base + Farcaster to decide who can deposit.

More details soon.

I want to make a list of all projects using ZKP on @base .

If you know one comment 📋

现在不奋斗老了怎么办，奋斗了一样会老啊

也不知道我是怎么做到每天努力挣钱，却还是身无分文的

我这不是丧，而是没有钱和性生活的正常表现

看别人过七夕我一点都不羡慕，就是感觉像吃了柠檬蘸醋

既然时间可以夺走一切，可不可以先夺走我的贫穷。
