It's time to turn off the ZCG funding stream. ZCG has over $125M in funding, and will receive millions more before the spigot is turned off. The program was never designed to handle this amount of funding. Draft ZIP: github.com/zcash/zips/blob/e…

Creating net-new gold with alchemy is becoming real. The lab grown diamond industry is growing rapidly. But you can’t invent anything that will increase Bitcoin supply. There will only ever be 21M.

This is a proposal, and proposals are welcome and should be surfaced and debated. Best ideas win. This one doesn’t have the broad support needed to make a consensus change. I also don’t believe it’s good for Zcash. Background: here is the initial rationale for considering a move to PoS by ECC back in 2021. zodl.com/should-zcash-switch… Crosslink (then TFL) was originally intended as a first step toward that transition. zodl.com/the-trailing-finali… When I returned to ECC as CEO, I stopped our work on it as I believed it was a distraction and wasn’t necessary for mass adoption. Shielded Labs then picked it up. Adding a staking layer adds protocol complexity and new security assumptions. The finality gain doesn't warrant the risk. Zcash should stay on Nakamoto consensus.

Crosslink is a proposed hybrid PoW/PoS upgrade for Zcash. By standardizing staking bonds into incremental powers of 10, observers are prevented from easily inferring individual staking patterns, preserving privacy and maintaining accountability among finalizers.

so i figured out why my samsung TV is so sluggish. samsung uses your own hardware for post-processing of data including audio, screenshots, and your aid (your cross-device tracking ID) and more telemetry. computer vision processing and models run on your TV.

as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better. security leaders, never let a crisis go to waste: please go to your boards and ask for help right now. not for ai, for the basics. (we need to hold on for ~18 months.)

Dom, respectfully - you are full of shit and a complete LARP. Tearing down others doesn't help your situation at ICP. Let's go through some facts about the "Internet Computer", an completely unoriginal and uninspiring name swiped from Ethereum's world computer: - 3,870 daily active users (lol, lmfao really) - spent millions of dollars on terrible conference marketing to get exit liquidity in 2021-2022 - down 99.9% from all time highs - company makes ZERO revenue - team max extracted and contributed negative value to the industry - the transactions on the network are clearly wash traded/bot volume and one claude prompt will get you there You've contributed practically nothing to the industry yet got rich as f*ck, funny how that works. To be clear, and concise: $ICP is a total shitcoin, has zero reason to exist, and this post reeks of desperation & pure jealousy. Envy is a major sin, and you should celebrate the successes of others, rather than try to tear them down. This industry is far too small to not grow the pie. Ask any ZK, privacy, or developer about NEAR's TEEs and confidential tech and they will tell you the same thing: it's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good for onchain privacy in 2026. Meanwhile, ICP is still paying the worst KOLs in the industry to promote while you dump on side wallets and OTC. Rant over. Don't fuck with NEAR.

this is gold's quantum FUD but it's way worse because you can't software update gold.

the whole vamping and PVP situation is without a doubt the biggest issue we have instead of just buying the runner, we have tons of people just deploying vamps all day pre 2024 people just bid the runner sadly it will stay this way unless the market chooses to bid the runner

we got IRL Rocket League before GTA 6
