Today, @faust is announcing Roc: a reality oracle computer that notarizes reality, onchain

For the past ~3 years, we have been venturing into the great beyond at the intersection of deep tech x crypto. We’re building a new kind of hardware (from the bottom up) that is designed for Ethereum

Read on below...

Hello y'all -- an update on @faust, and where things are with Roc:

A few months ago, we announced that we're building Roc (what we call a reality oracle computer). We've been hard at work on it for the past few months, and it is taking a lot longe than we thought. So, in the mean time we've decided to build a smaller scope version beta dev kit of it that we'll be announcing soon. 

We'll have more details soon, but here are some thoughts around the progress below:

The lights in my office go off. I check the circuit breaker - power is out. I turn on my mobile hotspot and tether my laptop. I check the PG&E outage page. It says everything is online. "Of course.", I sigh.

I turn to the chain once more. Plenty of attestations of power outage from my entreprising neighbors, and a bunch of automated attestations from the apartment building's backup generators and IoT sensors. I don't trust any of them much, but they do all come with ZK proofs of location thanks to Helium hotspots. I ask my assistant to gather up those attestations and render them as a heatmap overlaid on top of a map of my area. Sure enough, those areas line up with strangely-green zones on the PG&E map. Another grumble. I publish another onchain attestations of my findings to help the next person out.

I learn back in my chair. Being without power sucks, but at least I know the extent of the damage and I know not to panic. It's just another societal panic induction attempt. Psyops.

Another Tuesday. ⤵️

Excited to swap Helium for Roc in this story soon.

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

Great thread btw 

Agreed, this whole idea of notarizing reality is something that is going to happen one way or another

Thank you for being part of those actually making it happen 🫡
