Thoughts on Canton since its been discussed on the pod I'm an investor and I run a validator node. Mainly invested because Don Wilson is behind it. The business case is at least ... legible ... but I also have some doubts The tech is the most overengineered thing I have ever seen. The infra cost is high and the tech stack is convoluted. Documentation for these things is always poor for all projects but there were a ton of undocumented fixes that required their devs to help My most cracked dev who never stumbled on any technical problems got burned out getting this to work and had to take a few days off once it was running. The company Digital Asset tried to bill us for customer support because our dev was asking questions about how to build on their open source software I'm not convinced the cost and complexity has a tradeoff of actual value, I just think they built something crazy. I also question the Canton token value accrual. But if they can onboard institutions there'll be something valuable there

"The accounting issues related to stealing old Bitcoin remaining outstanding" šŸ˜‚ Regarding Matt's question "wouldn't [someone with a secret quantum computer] attack other systems first?" I used to think they would obviously go after some bigger fish than Bitcoin but now I think Bitcoin is the most attractive target Would you rather make millions/billions of dollars taking most likely lost or known-to-be lost coins (which you can possibly justify to yourself and/or the public as a victimless crime, if even a crime) or risk jail forever by committing fraud on the NYSE or eavesdropping on the President? I am not aware of a use for a secret quantum computer that isn't morally and legally fraught and the risk/reward of taking dead people's Bitcoin is pretty good compared to the alternatives
