If you're all building apps (sorry, I mean of course you're building Dapps) how come I never see anyone asking me to verify the sync committee addresses that you use as a trust anchor of your Dapp - because obviously your Dapp has light client verification and doesn't just blindly trust an RPC provider, right...?!

It seems like that will only change once we actually start building products which 1. make sense for the 99.99% normie population of planet earth (i.e. not stETH perps) 2. actually need resilience technology at the foundation (i.e. not web3 gaming) 3. are an economically viable and scalable business (i.e. not just regen) FWIW, I think a max anon VPN ticks all these boxes

I do make them create solid backups. But I also try to get them on @safe and if it's for relatively small amounts and family or friends then I set myself as guardian.

IDK if this is a bull market but you'll get asked by normie friends how to 10x their money with crypto In that moment it's up to you to shill them your favorite shitcoin and set the narrative that crypto is all and only about making money (and deal with their rage in 6 months when they lost it all) - or explain to them that crypto is about empowerment of the individual and guide them into the web3 wonderland. Show them how to backup a mnemonic, how to use a a wallet, how to swap on @cowswap, create an @ensdomains name, a @aboutcircles profile - and soon how the web3 brings them more anonymity with Gnosis VPN because decentralization really matters to remove central points of trust at times when most people feel betrayed by all established institutions and voices It's up to YOU to open their eyes to the infinite garden

When will I be able to run a Base node on @dappnode - why isn't that a priority for you?

The fact that >90% of tokens that Coingecko might label as "infrastructure" are scams has nothing to do with the fact that infrastructure heavy lifting is the #1 action item for the next decade to get us towards a billion users anywhere (and not get them all rugged just like you get rugged by "infra" today)

My most cancelable take is that we are still ~a decade away from being able to onboard a billion daily users to any chain But what if you try today anyway? - in the odd chance of success your settlement layer doesn't scale - no user has any privacy whatsoever - you build on a tech stack (VM, RPC standards, SC language) that will change multiple times until we settle on what will eventually onboard a billion users - your users need a wallet and the UX of all of them is a disgrace - which isn't a dig, it just isn't possible yet to optimize UX in such a rapidly moving environment The only way to fix all of that is investing in infrastructure and getting all of that right - I know you hate hearing that also

Is it really stage 1 if it doesn't have a @dappnode package that enables individuals to run your stuff?!

Empowerment of the individual. That's literally all it has to offer. "Making money" is nothing new and crypto is actually pretty crappy at that. It's immature technology that takes much longer and needs more experienced devs to develop and has far fewer users globally ready to use it while disenfranchising large multinational corporations as the primary drivers of today's tech world. It makes no sense to build crypto from that world view.

👆 literally the attitude that corrupts and destroys the only value proposition that crypto has to the core

🦉 Fair to say this was a max Gnosis week, ICYMI: - @gnosischain activated Pectra, frontrunning Ethereum mainnet - @gnosispay live in Brazil via collaboration with @usepicnic and now also on Apple Pay (in CH/UK "soon") - @aboutcircles launch date confirmed, make money weird again (and yours) from May 21!

Finally! After ~1.5 years of work Circles 2.0 is ready to be launched on May 21st! If you still have a Circles 1.0 identity you will be able to use this soon!

Are there good tutorials on how to do that? Or better: a @dappnode package?

@warpcast supporting cross chain gasless micro swaps for any token is honestly underappreciated!

When using stealth and non-stealth addresses: does your wallet use the same RPC provider and thus turn your IP address into a unique identifier?

Adding wallet data for transaction privacy. Currently only about ERC-5564 (stealth addresses); will add 🌪️-type solutions later. ERC-5564 is very tricky to implement in a privacy-preserving way. No wallet gets it right today. https://github.com/walletbeat/walletbeat/commit/e667140f941a9eaf7e9bdc24b11697ed646f64b4

Crypto is chaotic era resilience tech

If requests are verifiable, I'd consider it "stable era private". But to me crypto is about providing chaotic era resilience tech and in that context I'm not ok with the (privacy) trust assumptions of a contemporary commercial TEE.
