My weekend project got a little out of hand and now I've created a language for crafting EVM bytecode, complete with intuitive syntax, simpler stack management, and a built-in debugger. Ok, a lot out of hand!
I'm proud to release SpecOps
github.com/solidifylabs/spec…
Highlights🧵
Uhh, so @LouisVuitton are selling a $525 pendant that's just the @golang Gopher mascot?

So disappointing to see the errors in @TASCHEN & @robertalice_21 OnNFTs representation of our work. Basic copy mistakes because we weren't provided a proof + we were omitted from the QR catalogue of dynamic works. For the price of the book it should be perfect!

3074 will be included in the next fork
Imo, It gets EVM one step closer to good UX but 5 steps further from great UX and security.
My unpopular opinion is that it’s a blow to AA on EVM. The biggest challenge for AA adoption on EVM was always that smart accounts are second class citizens so dapps would build for EOAs, the 1st class citizen.
By improving EOAs you are reducing even more the incentives for dapps to build for smart accounts. It even adds more confusion, you’ll have EOA, smart EOA and smart accounts…
A transition is possible with new EIPs in the future, I just hope this has been thought through and that wallet will be ready for 3074 to avoid a bloodbath of scams.

This is just incredible!
Just under 20 minutes to go in the @Sothebys auction for my artwork, Composite II. sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/…
Exapixel resolution, if printed at 250 dpi, pieces in the collection would be larger than Jamaica! Make sure to try the interactive explorer: proofofwork.art/single/0x35c…

Nice surprise this evening: PROOF OF {ART}WORK is in Sothebys! Congrats @divergencearran 🔥🔥🔥

Disappointing to see @Sothebys using a low-resolution screenshot of my art in a listing when the whole point of the collection is the extreme-resolution interactive viewer. It doesn't do my work justice.

I departed the courtroom feeling empty, trying to process the gravity of what I had just experienced.
1. Crypto has very real and colossal consequences. Judge Kaplan had also adjudicated cases involving: Trump, Prince Andrew/Epstein, and Al Queda terrorists. We’ve hit a scale where people’s life savings are on the line. It’s not just memecoins, fun, and games. Normalizing negligence out of ‘degen’ culture is reckless. If we want to power a global financial system bigger than the current day crypto-native casino, we cannot lose sight again this cycle.
2. Seeing the jury made me realize how far we have to go in educating and onboarding normal individuals. Blockchain UX is still a joke.
3. It’s unintuitive for humans to grapple with the true magnitude of finance at scale. Small % errors can lead to hundreds of millions in accounting discrepancies.
4. Bring business back on-shore through sensible regulation. Coinbase is a trailblazer in long-term thinking.
5. DeFi is the answer. Build trustless systems where accounting is open, transparent, and verifiable by external parties.
I created the Chuck Norris fake Google error page (IYKYK) "your search returned no results because Google knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you". His lawyers sent me 2 cease & desist letters (I framed them) & he later included it in one of his books of favourite jokes.

best pi day gift ever! thank you so much @divergencearran it is indeed a bit annoying 😂
6/ @cxkoda has the Madhava–Leibniz series because it will annoy him how slowly it converges. The Wikipedia article also describes it as exhibiting "unusual behaviour"—make of that what you wish.

Factorial was released on Feb 29 at our event EVM Day by @PopPunkOnChain from Gaslite.
The most influential optimizoors for this challenge are @real_philogy, @divergencearran, and @shunduquar. Read more to see the progression.

coolest onchain gift to me so far
`((n * n) << 2) / (((n * n) << 2) - 1)`
To celebrate (American) π day (also @AlbertEinstein's 145th birthday) I've airdropped the first batch of πdentity NFTs to my giganerd web3 friends.
The πdentities are mathematical formulae yielding π, each implemented as a smart contract of hand-crafted EVM bytecode 🧵

Best Pi Day gift EVER, including the time I got eight different pies.
🙏🙏🙏 @divergencearran!!! 🥧
4/ In alphabetical order of methods: @skominers has the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula because hexa-π is 1337. He's also the only mathematician in this list so requires an exact value while devs are more accepting of approximations.

11/ That's it for the first batch. To find the contract implementing a particular token, enter its ID here: basescan.org/address/0x31415….
I recommend plugging the bytecode into bytegraph.xyz/ for a visual representation.
Also try the piFrac() and piString() functions!
12/ The implementations are all available in the πdentities repo, but it's definitely more interesting to first inspect the bytecode yourself.
