So what does this mean for Q? Nothing.

If there are ethical investors in this space that agree with our position, we're still happy to chat. If it means I have to bootstrap this company because this bridge conflagration of a cast engulfed the entire collective of crypto funds? I'll do that. This is a crusade, not an "incredible journey".

If you're a fund and feel these casts were about you, go ahead and let us all know that in the replies. It spares me the effort of the name and shame, and I've got receipts anyway.

If you're a founder that wants to make a change in this industry? Join me on this crusade, and set the same standard: no crypto warrants, only fair launches.

Let's make this industry cypherpunk again.

This is what leading the world with regulations looks like.

Years ago, when I started building a decentralized discord clone, people asked me why. I wanted a communication tool that was truly decentralized, in a way that no state actor was able to gain control over.

Signal's design wasn't capable of group chats beyond a certain size. The features only went so far. And it has failure points such that countries block them by firewall and have to rely on the good graces of others to run proxies, which ultimately get shut down or blocked too.

App stores do not share in this ideal — their concern is profit, and will bend backwards when forced to by regulatory bodies.

Amazon and others are complicit in helping state actors maintain their control of the web, and are profiting handsomely from the arrangement.

None of this happened by accident. And I only saw it getting worse. I realized what I was building in this chat application went beyond just chat, and how pressing it was to make this general purpose.

Progress Update from: https://quilibrium.discourse.group/t/psa-2-0-launch-steps/486/52

Update: Things are moving along well, a few adjustments have been required as expected, but largely is holding strong – stronger than intended to be tested as a bug in the node deployer kicked off more than twice over and ramped up to over 200,000 peers. (RIP my infra billing)

Current state:
✅Peer Exchange - Are the bootstraps properly pruning peers in a way that allows the mesh to build efficiently? After adjustments, sustained at (accidentally) over 200,000 peers
✅Connection Management - Are the bootstraps appropriately handling connections such that they stay below the high watermark? Adjustments already made prior to test, also sustained at (accidentally) over 200,000 peers

Next up:
⏳Routing Success - Are the messages successfully routing to all peers once the mesh has been built?
⏳Upper Limits - What is the upper bound on connections before peers are not making it into the mesh or reaching the bootstraps?

Checkout @quilibrium too will be the place to build in the next few days after launch

We are the alternative thesis to consumer crypto. We don't believe in a world where you have to understand a highly complex global computer, how it manages state, or the myriad footguns that can wreck you if you don't. We believe that crypto can be simple and intuitive, leaving complexity to implementation details.

Only the second new protocol over the last 4+ years I’ve been excited for.

The fair launch process, disruptive tech, based community built over ~12 months contributing without reward and cyberpunk ethos.

Truely feels different.
