To reset the EAS schema you can just update the mediaType to `v1.0. Then just filter out prior attestations with mediaType where the string has v0.1 That way it'll all still be integrated with the infrastructure we're building ...... :P Here https://github.com/rheeger/touch-grass/blob/7b31ba722c9ad9e2b825836d37bc545437d28167/src/utils/attestations.ts#L47 and here https://github.com/rheeger/touch-grass/blob/7b31ba722c9ad9e2b825836d37bc545437d28167/src/utils/attestations.ts#L102

How does this look as an issue encouraging people to build this? Very cool thing — maps.fun has been working on a location proof strategy using zkTLS ... https://github.com/AstralProtocol/astralprotocol/issues/119

Is anyone thinking about how to create location proofs using /zktls? We're digging into it at @astralprotocol, and are finding that most apps just use the Geolocation API, which is (very) easy to spoof. Maybe useful, but not very secure ... cc @reclaimprotocol

We typically don't like working on weekends, but got inspired today and deployed our v0.1 Location Proof EAS schema on @celo mainnet ... 🎁 Details here: https://docs.astral.global/docs/location-proof-protocol/introduction

Depends on what you're expecting, they could equally be preconceived gratitude ... but often for me yes, expectations are a recipe for disappointment. I'm getting better though.

We’ve been working on a location proof protocol at @astralprotocol It won’t solve your problem, but we’ve been thinking about onchain geospatial for a while now and would love to think it through with you. Can you share a bit about the specific use case? https://docs.astral.global/docs/location-proof-protocol/introduction

I'm starting to realize that shipping without blabbing about it isn't actually shipping ... I've always valued to doers over the talkers, but the truth is both are needed to build something interesting. Unrevealed substance is, in some ways, more tragic than vapor ...

At @astralprotocol we've been building experimental software for onchain geospatial computations for a few years now. How could these algorithms be useful to dapp developers? Is a Solidity translation of Turf.js worth developing? (There are some complications ...) https://github.com/AstralProtocol/spatial-sol

I like the idea of streaks as a fun accountability mechanism to keep thinking in public (inspired by @fredwilson.eth here). My one issue: streaks don't account for days off. "Like many streaks, it became a burden eventually." I just spent 5 days cycling in Scotland. I shouldn't be penalized for not wanting to get on Farcaster while I'm off the grid — *planned* time away from my devices shouldn't break my streak, which is meant to encourage consistency over time. @dwr.eth how would I schedule time off from a streak without breaking it? Streaks are a good hook for engagement — it'd be a better one if I could adapt it to promote my well-being. (I recognize this might add some complexity ... how far in advanced do I schedule time away? What percentage of days should I post in a period for it to qualify as a streak? etc ...) /farcaster

(It's been a while, but if I remember correctly Mapbox tippecanoe has similar logic — chunking up a spatial dataset into vector tiles placed in a similar z/x/y folder structure ... https://github.com/mapbox/tippecanoe)

(Also! Note that the zxy -> IPFS idea is not the same as the geohash IPFS lookup! It's similar, though, because it would require the same construction of a spatially indexed directory system with corresponding CIDs.)

What other data is most relevant to geographic areas? Phone books / contact lists come to mind ... these are instances where geographically local data accessible via content addressing could be useful.

- Having high resolution tiles cached in the same geographic area (which is likely, as others in that area also use those map tiles) provides an opportunity to retain access to the data, even if connection to the broader internet is disrupted - This only works if tiles are content addressed, not location addressed ...
