Three stages of getting coffee in Dublin: 1. Find a cool cafe 2. “Oh god, it’s busy here!” 3. Leave Repeat.

I’m horrible at remembering people. If you’re at ETH Dublin, take pity on me and remind me how I know you. Unless, of course, you don’t remember me.

When I mention I work on @shutter, many people reply “Oh, private voting!” That’s great. But clearly we need to talk more about encrypted mempools and other applications.

Looking to try out new Fapps. Recommendations? Even better … Does anyone want to be Fapp buddies? We can try out new Fapps together and then swap tips and tricks. Open to creating a whole Fapp circle if lots of people want to join.

MEV side events are really just a bunch of thieves discussing how they can get better at stealing your money

A friend in the travel industry showed me an email from a sales prospect who decline a meeting invite by saying “Happy to meet @EOL”. It took me a while to realize @EOL meant “End Of Life”. How shitty and passive aggressive. I much prefer crypto culture.

Rightfully, everyone is angry that thieves have access to their personal information due to a Coinbase data breach. Oddly, no one is angry that thieves (malicious MEV bots) have access to their transaction information in the public mempool - resulting in $1.5 billion in stolen funds since 2020.

When someone says “MEV”, it’s your value they are extracting.

Should we build a @paddlebattle Fapp? Would y'all like to bid on cool shit (like a Dappnode home, EthCC [8] tickets, or powerful The Givers NFTs) and donate the auction proceeds to public goods - all from within Farcaster?

https://x.com/ethereumfndn/status/1922632702097801229 👆 This is a great initiative by the Ethereum Foundation. $1.5 billion have been stolen from Ethereum users by malicious MEV bots since 2020. We need a more fair and credibly neutral transaction supply chain.

Looking for more Dapps to use / test? Take https://fairyraffles.com/ for a test drive. Super easy and provably fair onchain raffles.

We need a better term for MEV. The term "MEV" (Maximal Extractable Value) obfuscates rather than clarifies. It refers to many things - some of which are bad (stealing from users - ie sandwich attacks) and some of which are benign (arbitrage). What's a better term?

I wish I could "assign" my tips and rewards - so they go directly to a public goods project instead of to me. Who's building this?
