“Obsession” (2026), is an allegory for bad prompting and misaligned AI. If Bear had phrased his One Wish Willow request with proper safety constraints (“while remaining herself, happy, and not a demonic entity”), the whole movie would’ve been a rom-com.

Raising $100M for a startup that turns litecoin into bitcoin through a series of tractable engineering problems

Replying to @MarathonFusion
In 2025, we published a bold proposal to use fusion reactors for gold production. And now we’ve done it: Mercury transmuted into stable gold, using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record set by CERN in 2025. We’ve reduced alchemy to a series of difficult but tractable engineering problems.

fwiw, i think cyber risk is going to be lower in ~2030 than it was in 2022

As the Internet gets compromised and tries to figure out where all their servers are… It’s nice to know that decentralized consensus is very resilient to this… Working code means running blockchain, so patches happen fast and completely. Zcash did this.

If it can be shut down it was never a protocol anyways

Compiled a list of protocols that have shut down in 2026. 82 protocols year-to-date. I've never seen anything like this before.

Waka waka, middlemen. 🟡 Read Zcash straight from the source: grants, treasuries, governance and on-chain data, all openzcash!

Detroit, like most cities, was decimated by "urban renewal" demolitions. What was built after was far less dense and walkable.

TLDR for crypto people: > Be me > Ran ETH validator while I lived on Wall Street > Get call from federal prosecutor 3 years later > HIM: "We're prosecuting hacker of Uranium Finance" > HIM: "Need you to come testify that you ran a node for proof of Venue, its a law that requires crimes are tried where they are committed" > Law doesn't make sense when applied to crypto, but whatever > Me: "ok, how did you find me?" > HIM: "Matching Etherscan and Verizon IP records" > Fly to NYC > Take oath and tesify > HIM: "Cool thx bro" > Post story on X > Avi Eisenberg replies > Avi's convictions were thrown out, not because he didn't do it, but because they couldn't prove it happened in the district he was tried > Realize I'm the fix > Realize everyone who runs a node is a witness to all crimes that occur on that blockchain State of modern crypto law

Zakura's wallet and cryptography support libraries are integrating @ValarGroup's PIR-based tech that Tachyon depends on for its payment protocol, and some of it is immediately useful today! Any wallet can use or even fork this code: it's free, open-source, and permissionless.

Quantum Unlinkability for Zcash Swaps — Zakura

Much of Zcash's shielded privacy holds against a future quantum computer, but a published address could let one link every payment a wallet has received. NEAR Intents swaps publish addresses hundreds...

one of the best things about working with zcash-ers is the relentless pursuit of SoTA privacy AND best in class UX life is so short, and engineering is time consuming might as well go HAM amirite

@adamleetucker17Oct 18
How we’re making Zcash quantum unlinkable through the use of one-time IVKs! In this video, I talk about how sharing your shielded address opens you up to a specific quantum attack, and how we solved this linkage for a common feature you probably exposed yourself to already.

So many constraints on Zcash disappear once you have the practical PIR that the Zakura team developed

If you pick the wrong integrity crypto, your blockchain monetary system would break, but it can be rebuilt. If you pick the wrong secrecy crypto, people could actually die and you can’t bring them back
