This update is going out today. If you are running a hub, manual action is needed. You can: 1. Use the shell prompt to ack by upgrading hubble 2. Set up an environment variable which will let the upgrade go down seamlessly See the video below from @wazzymandias.eth for more details

the massive object to object comparison with one slightly different attribute, that has its own deeply nested structure has bit me in the past viem is great but once you go slightly off the beaten path it gets murky real quick

crypto devs are due for a cultural revolution venture slopfest grows older by the day, memecoins offer nihilistic alternative, but neither are satisfying for those of us sold on agent codification where rules are smart contract source files and enforcement is beautiful composition of cryptography and social consensus over code execution the crypto we were born into no longer exists. but it's all too easy to forget where the industry comes from, where the technology comes from. cryptographers and game theoreticists lay foundations, but implementations don't exist without implementors what we do doesn't have to be big, it doesn't have to be the next ethereum, we just have to open the editor

The quality of discourse on Crypto Twitter isn't necessarily going down but the quantity of no-signal discourse has certainly increased a lot over the past year. Probably a great opportunity for Farcaster to capture a lot of the quality social discourse for crypto, particularly for Eth related topics.

yeah, it's possible - it costs ~50-100 a month to run a hub in cloud atm "stake" has 2nd order effects too. "stake" may imply rewards (there are none) or penalties/slashing (which is complex and difficult to implement correctly) it's a tricky problem, economic barrier is good idea but devil's in the details

The challenge here is that thousands of hubs were created, with the false hope of airdrops, at a net loss every month. The ability to deposit and withdraw funds may not deter the bad behavior we're trying to prevent

If you are interested in an op-node plugin system, please share your thoughts here: https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/issues/11152 Think of indexing, metrics, alt-DA, alt-VM, etc. With plugins the OP-Stack can support many new independently developed features, all cross-compatible, without forking.

Users aren't discouraged - airdrop farmers are discouraged. We've noticed bad behavior from hubs that spam the network, are unable to keep up, and cycle their hubs constantly creating excessive burden on the rest of the network

Nice, will be interesting to how folks can use the improved EL/CL decoupling for applications that benefit from CL DA and don't need EL DA

Twitter is upstream of all other social networks for "the discourse". All the "shadowy cabal chat groups" are 80% "post link to tweet and discuss". Only way to "beat" Twitter is play a different game. New composable primitives powered by crypto (which make it harder for incumbents to copy). Channels that enable cozy corners yet are public, permissionless and composable.

I have a friend who lives in a small town in the Indian state of Punjab who I was catching up with this past week. He was describing to me that in his town temperatures this summer hit an insane 53 degrees celsius (128 degrees fahrenheit). Despite this, many people still need to work outside regardless because they need to make a living. Over the course of the summer, a number of laborers in the town have died of heat-related causes as a result. How are we going to live in a world that is getting this hot? For those of us in post-industrial countries where many people are inside all day and air-conditioning is universally available perhaps surviving the day is possible (though the impact on agriculture and infrastructure is concerning) but what about the vast majority of the world who are in still-developing countries? Climate change is not just a debate; its happening right now and we need to work on urgently mitigating or at least discussing the impacts taking place in real-time.
