Resurfacing a panel on whether crypto tech is WW3-resilient, at @ShieldingSummit in Brussels July 2024 Adrian Brink Zac Williamson@aztec @ameensol Ian Miers @octal @anoma @namada AI-extracted insights: The group stresses “run-with-you” infrastructure: * Devices must be operable offline. * Data (wallets, identities) must be portable and sovereign. * Local backups, redundancy, and interoperability matter more than brand or chain loyalty. Resilient Infrastructure: Tools, Not Utopias * Pragmatic decentralization: rather than imagining pure anarchy or full autonomy, build tools that reduce reliance on fragile centralized chokepoints. * Examples: Mesh networks for local internet. Local crypto custody vs. exchanges. Modular identity credentials that work offline. Synergy between tech (crypto, zero‑knowledge) and physical prep (community gardens, renewable energy). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Iy1c-1GKY

This is such a time of opportunity for @farcaster @dwr.eth to pick up the rising tide of people giving up on X.com I was doing some accounting and realized that the Premium+ plan increased 150% (!) two months ago. It went from $16/mo to $40/mo. I thought, "maybe i missed an email??" I searched and didn't find anything. I can't tell if this is unscrupulous or incompetence. Their tech is falling apart (e.g. "e2e encryption" is that actually not), bugs everywhere, bots galore, tiresome content... and now even the "easy" stuff, like basic marketing, is scoring new lows (did they put an engineer in charge of marketing or what). I am so excited to read what will certainly be a future book on the fall of X/Twitter.

I love this vibe: Be Competent. Be Boring. Rekt News: "competence is fucking boring. When nothing blows up, there's no content to farm. No emergency spaces. No founders crying into their Ring lights.... quiet competence doesn't trend on Crypto Twitter." https://rekt.news/dodging-a-bullet

I know the new suite of AI tools from Google looks very tasty, but don't forget that it's increasingly likely that your searches are going to caught in a dragnet at some point https://www.wired.com/story/find-my-iphone-arson-case/ AI summary: In a Colorado arson case, police used a reverse keyword warrant to access Google search data—targeting users who searched an address tied to the crime. Google initially refused the warrant twice for being too broad but eventually complied. The evidence was later thrown out. Despite this, investigators nationwide are now adopting similar tactics. Critics warn it chills free speech and sets a dangerous precedent: private searches could become criminal leads, even without suspicion.

this tweet was inspired by TonkLabs's thought-provoking essay on trust infrastructure https://tonk.substack.com/p/you-should-design-trust-infrastructure "the web destroyed our ability to cultivate nuance in public digital forums, and the result is context collapse. I personally see this with digital monocultures... trend towards information-sparse signals that express the lowest-common denominator of its members" (Diagram credit: Maggie Appleton maggieappleton.com)

what if we had social media that automatically and dynamically curates followers who would be likely to add constructive dialogue, while (crucially) keep out the time-wasting trolls and bots?

Of course, there are also power brokers working in the shadows, engineering major shifts at both stages. VCs, influential projects, etc (won't name them) How do we avoid the fragmentation and vying for resources that ended the Mongol Empire after less than 100 years? https://imdb.com/title/tt36118991/ (watch on Hulu)

Watched the wonderful National Geographic documentary series on Genghis Khan and it occured to me the parallels to crypto ecosystems:First there is a Genghis Khan, who through sheer force of will, and rallying the right mix of resources (people, food, money), are able to create something from absolutely nothing. @ethereumfndn @vitalik.eth @solana Toly, Polkadot Gavin, etcThen, to scale, consolidate, and leverage what they have won, we need people like Ogodei Khan shared with @gif (follow @0xconca.eth to remove this watermark)

Is there a way to prove that you don't store phone numbers after verification? Trusted execution environments, perhaps...?

How about making the $25 a persistent requirement? That would be a stronger determinant against bot farms who can easily generate X accounts and phone numbers. 1MDB managed to convince bankers that they had $1.5bn, by showing that they had $250mn transferred in, 6 times. But all they did was sweep the $250mn out every time in flowed in (yes, some people responsible for huge amounts of money don't use enough of their brain. like whomever designed the Coinbase customer support system where any agent can see sensitive data belonging to all their customers. Okay.)

for the people building privacy blockchains, this is an application i find interesting, and so might ur BD teams chasing applications: an on-chain Carta (equity ownership record). from my own experience in different roles (equity issuing and equity purchasing), the problem they are trying to solve is real. I'm not sure if they will manage to change behavior, or if it is a problem that is high priority for any of the intended users, but i believe they are solving a problem that does exist

Today we released the Open Cap Table Protocol (OCP) whitepaper: the onchain infrastructure making equity programmable. If you believe ownership should move like code, this is the spec 🧵

2025 is shaping up to be the year of privacy in crypto 2023-2024 was an extinction event, with many privacy projects burying themselves or going into hiding... AND NOW WE ARE FINALLY BACK! ty universe

@coinbase it would be more fun if you offered a $21mn bounty for a $20mn ransom. Bigger middle finger to the hackers!

Who else faces this problem in ChatGPT? problem: i research a topic new to me. ChatGPT gives me a nice overview. as i go through each section of the answer, I have more questions (need to drill down). but i don't want to mess with the flow. So i have to open another chat window to ask specific questions. But this loses context and forces me to switch windows which affects my learning/retention. what do u think of this feature suggestion: allow users to open new chats by right clicking, and display answers to the sub-questions in bubbles. In this way, users don't lose their thought process as they make their way through the overview.

Woah!!! Ever felt grossed out handing over your ID card to some stranger because they had to verify your age or some other detail? Now a solution, out in the wild, 30 years after zero knowledge proofs were theorized! https://blog.google/products/google-pay/google-wallet-age-identity-verifications/

I’d like to use a social media platform that allows me to choose the algo with which they serve me posts I’d focus on posts that are * thought provoking + * balance emotional valence + * a preferred list of accounts + * a blacklist of accounts with low emotional maturity or too much anger Inspiration: my recent short post making fun of a scammer in salty way garnered 50x the engagement compared to posts with product ideas or reflections on the industry. Unless something changes, overtime we will make ourselves into vitriolic, overconfident assholes. @farcaster
