New community: @ethcast

Prompted by @vitalik.eth's tweet, you can now create anon credentials for ETH balances to post into the new @anonworld community: minimum  0.2 ETH for Farcaster and 2 ETH for Twitter.

@Shaughnessy119 @VitalikButerin The Ethereum philosophy is that ETH holders only represent one fraction of the overall stakeholders of Ethereum. 

General non ETH holding users, for example. 

This philosophy has its pros and cons.

@TrustlessState @Shaughnessy119 I would support there being an anoncast-like gadget for ETH holders, something where if you ZKP that you hold N ETH then you can post once every (120 million / N) seconds. Make a twitter account, @eth_holders, and set it up with a bot that follows those rules.

That way we avoid…

Nice!

BTW I am curious, why does anoncast currently (I think?) not have rate limits of any kind? It feels like in the long run, you have to, because otherwise any single person in a group can make a proxy and dilute that group's membership set to pretty much everyone on earth.

It's @anonworld now btw!

No reason for it besides didn't want to prematurely solve for it before people actually used the thing. 

Also, I haven't thought about how it would work since I'm an app dev learning ZK as I go, so don't have the upfront skills to solve (though seems like I need nullifiers to rate limit)

I wrote about this exact topic!

nullifiers + commitment merkle trees. elegant solution but tricky to implement without compromising anonymity guarantees
