public goods are good coercion is bad social games that involve tricking people into thinking you're a public good are bad imo these three points capture ~90% of what matters in solarpunk / regen but solving for all three is nontrivial Milady

I'm joining Merkle! After building around Farcaster for ~1.5 years, I'm more bullish than ever on the team, protocol, and product. The last time I felt this way about something was when I joined OpenSea almost 4 years ago. 2025 will be big for crypto and Farcaster will be at the center of it. LFG 🚀

This is a solid demonstration of Railgun's privacy pools mechanism working in practice, allowing Railgun to avoid serving proceeds of crime without using any snooping / backdoors. How it works: * Anyone can deposit into Railgun. * After you deposit, there is a 1 hour period during which various algorithms detect whether or not the deposit likely came from what the algorithms consider to be criminal activity. * If your deposit passes the filter, then after 1 hour you can use ZKPs to withdraw privately (but ideally wait longer to get a good-enough anonymity set). * If your deposit fails the filter, then you can only withdraw back to your own address. There is no risk that your funds will get frozen/seized, you just can't benefit from the privacy pool. If you disagree with Railgun's filters, anyone is free to fork and make their own pool with their own rules, though if you can't get reasonably wide public support you're going to have a tiny anonymity set. https://x.com/officer_cia/status/1889642583971733983

It is my great honor to be nominated by President Trump as the next Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where I had served as a Commissioner in his last administration. The CFTC plays a critical role in maintaining robust hedging and price discovery markets that are the envy of the globe. The agency is also well poised to ensure the USA leads the world in blockchain technology and innovation. I look forward to working with President Trump’s incredible financial regulatory team. 🇺🇸

One way to characterize an era, is to look at the extent to which ideas of "scientific rationality" and "freedom" are pulling in the same direction, vs in opposite directions. The answer flips back and forth surprisingly often! https://chatgpt.com/share/67abbbff-fec8-8012-b772-bade8a93c8b7 In more modern times, I feel like I've noticed a rapid shift from the 2010s, when the two were aligned (eg. see SSC rationalism) to the 2020s, where the two are perceived to be quite a bit more at odds with each other.

I'm excited to announce I've started /herd to build the next-generation explorer that we all have really wanted (and needed). It’s time to smarten up crypto agents and humans by dumbing down smart contracts.
