I complain about war on cash. It’s already useless in many countries with bans on large (10k+) transactions. Like, you can buy groceries and stuff, ok. The trend doesn’t seem to be reversible.

Vyper devs were dissapointed over this. They haven’t got ef funding while Fe is used by basically noone and received it.

Ethereum $130B staking contract was created using Tornado Cash. Torn has mostly been used for legit on-chain privacy. An example is the transaction by anon dev, deploying the contract. The repo rebuilds it using modern tech. Great for ZK education! https://github.com/nkrishang/tornado-cash-rebuilt https://etherscan.io/tx/0xe75fb554e433e03763a1560646ee22dcb74e5274b34c5ad644e7c0f619a7e1d0

I would argue the “offline” tracking is not a big deal. One day of offline is the same as one day of rewards. It’s really small. It’s not like e.g. 30 days of rewards

People risk, running free TOR nodes. Even $1 per day would be enough to some people.

I wouldn’t name names, but this is not “core devs”, just exec(s) of popular eth projects.

If you haven’t started with something, there could have been no this lib.

Kinda sad there are people working on eth who think Tornado should be shut down due to crime. Even though most of its usage is legitimate privacy, which cannot be reliably achieved in other methods. Anti privacy ethos all the way.

I saw this tweet but it still doesn’t tell the whole story. - is it 100m/2024 or 100m/2023, 2022, 2021 as well? - where have old years been funded from? - if it’s just 2024, how much was 2023 and why the increase?

I’ve visited ef addr on block explorer and the budget did not seem like it’s 100M/year. There have been a bunch of withdrawals, mostly 1000 eth per every few months for the last years. So, the 100M withdrawal / budget smells like bs. There should be some exact numbers posted somewhere.

2 days of downtime are countered by 2 days of uptime. I wouldn’t call 2 days of dt a big deal profit wise

How is risk taking encouraged in USA vs EU? - the taxes are very similar and extremely high - crypto is in limbo, unclear position make projects abandon USA altogether

This is one of the best cryptography libraries: - ~High level language (nim) - Tons of useful docs and comments. Check out repository issues! - All kinds of algorithms. ECC, pairings, r1cs, you name it - Solid for educating newcomers Great job @mratsim

Releasing new package: micro-rsa-dsa-dh Minimal implementation of older cryptography algorithms. Elliptic curves have gained adoption these days, however, classical algos are still needed sometimes. As usual, the code is simple and good for education. https://github.com/paulmillr/micro-rsa-dsa-dh
