The new ETH client by @gakonst and @paradigm is live. All historical transactions (aka “archive node”) fit in just 2.3TB. Full node is 1.2TB. Syncing from genesis takes 50 hours. Can be ran on a cheap pc: no need to pay for 3rd party RPC which tracks users. https://www.paradigm.xyz/2024/06/reth-prod

England started its decline after WWI, not “post brexit”. It used to rule 1/4 of the world. Now it can barely rule its island.

Human Rights Foundation (hrf.org) awarded us some money for nip44 encrypted chat spec. Looks like we’ll be having an audit of noble-ciphers and remaining parts of curves later in the summer!

.@cassie made fc dms which are superior in security (signal ratchet), but it seemed quite complex. It’s unclear if the ratchet is still being used. Nip44 is very simple and doesn’t guarantee much. In fact you can check this in its disclaimers section. It’s just a good start. No one uses status. Smtp leaks metadata everywhere and is not e2ee.

noble is a beautiful cryptography library for typescript. minimal, well-audited and as simple as it can be. we use it a lot in farcaster and are proud to support @paulm's work with a small grant from warpcast.

micro-eth-signer 0.9 is out. No more block explorers: the release adds ability to fetch full account history and token balances using an archive node, such as @erigon It also implements SSZ in just 900 lines: nearest library is 8x larger. https://github.com/paulmillr/micro-eth-signer

Grateful for the grant from Farcaster. Going to spend the funding on new security audits of open-source software.

Announcing noble-post-quantum: minimal JS implementation of ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA. Also known as Kyber, Dilithium & SPHINCS+. Only 2000 lines of code - great learning resource for anyone who’s messing with PQ stuff. Check out README for comparison. https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-post-quantum

Foucault wrote a whole book on that, “Discipline and punish”. Mentioning schools, jobs, etc.

Agree, they misleadingly claim it’s post-quantum secure. Doesn’t ecdsa provide deniability due to its shitty design?

I believe it is not just miscommunication. It’s malevolence. Hayden in the blog post never mentioned that what Micah did was right. E.g that they would still send copyright claim against these kinds of forks. “Uncensored uniswap” phrase is descriptive and discoverable and should not be banned.

Serious question: What are jurisdictions of uni trademark? Does it affect Ukraine? What about EU? Oman? If it doesn’t affect some countries, does it mean one can use it for whatever and notices have no legal basis?
