I don't consider myself as the average user. I like it KISS. Even simple changes can lead to issues on L2s, see here https://oplabs.notion.site/Incident-Post-Mortem-op-geth-op-reth-Gas-Refund-Mismatch-209f153ee16280729366e9134e91455f. I want unconditional privacy and simplicity. I don't ask for more.

you know, I'm a simple guy: I roll (mostly) with ETH, Tornado Cash, Railgun, BTC, Zcash, and XMR these days. I don't use L2s. I don't use Solana. I don't use fancy DeFi protocols (I like it KISS and trustless). Simply put: just tools that work and don't ask permission. It could've been simple but somewhere along the way, we chose to build a fragmented, bloated mess of chains instead. A monster of our own making.

I know guys, you're all bullish on Claude etc. but if you keep outsourcing more and more of your thinking to LLMs, you'll eventually become whatever the algorithm decides. You lose your uniqueness, your edge. Just don't.

Step by step we make Ethereum Cypherpunk again. Defipunk projects your time is now! https://x.com/ethereumfndn/status/1930352951459229970

I think it's a solid move, but I'd love to see "protocol privacy" elevated to a strategic priority. What really gets to me is that I constantly have to bring it up just to raise awareness. Privacy needs to be baked into Ethereum's DNA. Period.

I’m thrilled to introduce Protocol: a new structure for @ethereumfndn's R&D teams. Our focus: scale L1, scale blobs, and improve UX, without compromising on Ethereum's core values. The world is ready for the world computer. It's on us to deliver it.

1/ Let's be real, a ton of people (yes, even probably you reading this) store pws, 2FA backup codes, and other sensitive info in `.txt` files. Even the 2FA providers themselves often give you those backup codes as `.txt` downloads. It's shit, but it's common. Obviously don't use `.txt` files to store any sensitive data, but let's address the major issue now: on Windows, Notepad is getting Copilot integration (sounds cool for many, but it's fucked!). That means if you open one of those `.txt` credential files, you're potentially leaking sensitive data to Microsoft's servers (I know you already leaked your dick/feet pics via the cloud sync feature of images but you don't care about those that much). They claim it only happens if you actively use Copilot features; but dude, who actually trusts that lol?

2/ If you run on Windows, disable this feature (and the spellchecking as well) - or even better, disable Copilot system-wide - and set something like Notepad++ as the default app for `.txt` files. It's lightweight, local, and not phoning home. Until you're using proper encryption or a pw manager, at least make sure your plaintext isn't being silently beamed to the cloud. And if you feel Cypherpunk enough use Qubes OS instead :)

There is nothing I want more than for Ethereum to lead on privacy (scalability has always been a second priority for me tbh; not implying it's not important to be clear). Not conditional privacy. Unconditional. Long-term, I shouldn't need to interact with a smart contract just to shield a simple ETH transfer. Privacy should be native at the L1. Look, I've been using Monero & Zcash for some time already (on that note, please Ledger ship shielded addresses). I use them because their privacy is built-in & the UX is pretty smooth. That's exactly what I want from Ethereum. Simple, private, native payments. No extra steps. If we want to onboard people to privacy at a global scale, it must be native and easy. Full stop.

Listen guys, many might disagree with me on this, but Ethereum's lasting success is all about its Cypherpunk soul. Real (IMO unconditional) privacy, security, censorship resistance; that's the core and must always remain the core. Folks, honestly, forget the flashy business plans for Ethereum (we do not turn Ethereum into a fucking company). If we start prioritising those over the fundamentals, we're not just selling out; we're turning into muppets of the very mainstream systems we set out to disrupt. Read the last sentence again. Now again. Ethereum's future has to be _radical_ and _bold_, not obedient.

An OS that goes all-in on simplicity. There's so much virtue in simplicity. What we need is more of less. https://duskos.org

There is absolutely no valid reason why prices are pumping right now. We're still a clown-show industry, light-years away from making any _meaningful_ dent in the lives of 99.9% of people on this planet. I'm here because I believe in the long game, I always have, but let's not kid ourselves: this lazy complacency, the flood of useless degen apps and rollups, and the never-ending siphoning of users' funds is not the path forward. It's a fucking distraction, not a revolution. I personally would love to see Ethereum go privacy-first (and by that, I mean _unconditional_ privacy). This would make Ethereum a real-world use case for a high percentage of the world population (we still need to convince them of course 😉).

2/ - people cannot handle private keys & seed phrases - people devices are _constantly_ (and by constantly I mean every fucking day) compromised - people are completely naive when it comes to basic web2 security (dude, stop storing your pws & 2FAs in the same password manager you use locally) - devs are blindly cloning, installing and running github repos locally and get rekt we're so fucking far away of being considered a "secure" ecosystem. It's a complete shitshow right now.

1/ time for a quick vibes check on where our industry's at security-wise; well, folks, guess what, 95% of last months' SEAL 911 tickets were the same shitshows on repeat: folks running sketchy code some rando DMed them (stop cloning & running GH repos you got from some random dude who asks for your "help"), hopping on Zoom calls where scammers walk them through (effectively) self-pwning (dude, believe me you don't need to patch your zoom or google meet) their own machines, teams getting nuked because they thought hiring bargain-bin devs from North Korea was a great idea, or some skiddies calling up victims pretending to be Coinbase support (always Coinbase, like 90% of the time and the rest is Ledger) and walking off with their funds. On top of that, there's the usual: someone falling in love with a random Tinder match and getting rinsed by a textbook Sha Zhu Pan play, and of course, the ever-reliable dev who commits their .env file with private keys straight to GitHub, NPM, etc.

Most crypto work (partially mine included) runs on some sort of 'hope Microsoft keeps GitHub online' mode. Git is decentralised but GitHub isn't. Shutting down key repos is one of the easiest ways to censor or disrupt upgrades and dev coordination. And yes, Microsoft can do that. There are legit alternatives but none with full feature parity. It's already way too late, but we as an industry must really rethink how we write, collaborate, deploy, and ship code.

Honestly, each time I upgrade Python I learn something new. So, decided this morning to upgrade to Python 3.13.3 (I mean why not). Pulled all available releases and realised that there is a new version suffix `t` available since 3.13.0. Dude wtf is this? Was super confused first. Well, guess what, it's a different (experimental) interpreter that supports the free-threaded mode (i.e. GIL disabled). https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#free-threaded-cpython
