🧵On Privacy 🧵
You may have heard of TornadoCash, Monero, Zcash, Decred, or SecretNetwork. Sounds complex, fringe, and unnecessary. Are they truly private, do we even need privacy anyway?
$34 million, or 11,539 eth, is permanently locked into the AkuDreams contract forever. It cannot be retrieved by individual users or by the dev team.
The refund processing, which is complete, sets each bid status to 1.
somebody on BNB just got hacked for ~2 million BNB ($600 million USD)
the attacker is spewing funds across liquidity pools and utilizing every bridge they can to get to safer chains
complete chaos on the chain
Hundreds of millions of dollars are now flowing out of FTX wallets, some speculate liquidators but it's late on a friday night, not typical times for such rapid heavy movements. Some withdrawals are being swapped from Tether to DAI. Hack or insider actions? $26 million here
There is a single private key out there that can mint an infinite number of new OG
@BoredApeYC
at any time.
If the token contract owner (a personal wallet, not a multisig) gets hacked or phished, you might see thousands of new bored apes minted and dumped onto the market
France launched a stablecoin on Ethereum and it's the worst code I've ever seen
Every ERC20 single transfer has to be approved in a separate eth tx submitted by a centralized registrar
What a laughingstock, is this your CBDC?
"is eth a security?"
*doesn't answer*
"is eth a security?"
*doesn't answer*
"is eth a security?"
*doesn't answer"
"have you given sufficient clarity?"
"yes"
physically painful to watch this level of obscene lying
Celsius published a 14,000-page document detailing every user's full name, linked to timestamp & amount of each deposit/withdrawal/liquidation
This horrific breach of privacy will lead to many robbed & killed
Anything not provably cryptographically private will become public
After 16 years at Google, I was laid off today. I was the product manager who named chat apps. We launched:
Google Talk
Google Voice
Google Wave
Google Buzz
Google Plus
Google Hangouts
Google Allo
Google Meet
Google Chat
If anyone needs help naming a chat app, please reach out
"private keys will never catch on", skeptics say as apple releases end-to-end encryption for iCloud in iOS 16.2 that prompts you to safeguard your own 28-character recovery key
New York Times warns that Signal users may be unwittingly promoting extremist ideologies such as privacy. Aghast that groups of technologists can build software. Argues we need a public discussion before law enforcement stops tapping our phones

if i was going to get compromised and embarrass my commission's technical skills that violate our very own guidance i would choose to not do it on a platform run by the elon musk who does not respect the SEC
1/ Explaining the zkEVM
- what it is
- how zk-rollups compare with other rollup types
- the competitive landscape for zk-rollup creators
And who really was first 😉
this jito airdrop is the funniest thing i've ever seen you have one million airdrop farmers dutifully spending one penny per day across multiple scam zksync dexes meanwhile the three guys who each staked 1 SOL in jito last month get $5k before christmas
always funny when somebody turns 10k into 10mil and then twitter comes around saying things like "hmmm refusing to take profit here doesn't seem like good risk management practice"
do you think he got the 1000x with good risk management practice??
"what if we never get another cycle"
yeah what if we decide that programmable money was a fad and wait 5 days for the bank faxes to clear. what if human greed vanishes forever. what if we stop wanting to flex online. what if governments stop printing money. what if
Modern airdrops be like:
- used product? 1 token
- restaked 20 cents of scam celestia fork? 10 tokens
- joined discord channel for competitor between 2 and 3am UTC three weeks ago and responded to announcement tweet with rainbow emoji? 1000 tokens
Reminding everybody that you cannot get drained from "clicking a bad link". You can only get drained by signing a malicious transaction or intent, which is a completely different action than merely navigating to a site. The entire Internet would collapse if such a zeroday existed
the ftx collapse is a direct double indictment of the regulatory apparatus. first, users were pushed onto offshore jurisdictions because of the complete lack of operational clarity. second, sam was deep in bed with the "protectors", and they didn't do a thing. resounding failure
Tired of getting hacked or phished?

Tether blacklisted the account, so hack confirmed. I'm sure Circle's intern will wake up tomorrow morning and get around to it after enjoying a relaxing breakfast spread
@edgarpavlovsky
on ethereum when founders go on drugfilled tweet binges extolling how much they despise their userbase and product partners it usually takes a couple days to get ousted
solana is far superior, gets you finality within minutes
i bought an NFT
which is down 80% in ETH
that ETH
is down 70% in USDC
that USDC
is down 10% in USD
that USD
is stuck in FTX bankruptcy
those claims
are down 80%
@dafky2000
Hey thanks, we were just talking about this. Obviously, we're never going to call that function again and we're planning on revoking ownership in the next day or two.
Uncle with dementia just asked, "can you send me some eth? i want to buy that pudgy penguin i saw on kai's twitch"
I took him out on the front porch and explained that baselayer transactions are for B2B, not individuals like him
This is what we're up against as far as education
ETH is turning deflationary again thanks solely to a token named XEN, which has consumed half of all Ethereum blockspace over the last day
Users have paid almost $1.8 million in gas fees to interact with the token contract, which has a marketcap of $500k
eth maxis are saying there's nothing to do on solana. however this is WRONG
you can swap usdc to sol, you can use sol as collateral to borrow usdc, you can use that usdc to buy more sol, you can get liquidated at the speed of light, and you can migrate your degod to polygon
"ethereum L1 is not meant to serve individual users" is the biggest load of cope i've heard in my LIFE
ofc it should serve individuals, plenty of trivial changes (3074, blocksize increase, tstore) that make it more attractive
L2s are not ethereum, they're distinct chains
the dumbest L2 narrative is decentralizing the sequencer
the entire point of an L2 is having faster cheaper state because you don’t need a decentralized validator set
L2s need to ENABLE FRAUD PROOFS and REMOVE MULTISIG CONTROL before even thinking about sequencer nonsense
Look at this guy.
He’s a millionaire who went homeless as a social experiment.
His goal? Prove that anyone can make $1M in 12 months with just a phone.
The story of Barneytheboi and what happened next:
starknet really said, “what if we took an L2, removed all EVM compatibility, then zeroed out the wallet balances of anybody who muted discord”
never let pure cryptographers run your org
"i'll wait to buy until after the fed pivot!"
fed: undoes half a year of QT in a single week, opens trillions more in lending at 50% above market value, opens international swap lines with global central banks on a sunday evening
"okay shorting now"
m*tamask killing etherscan links might be the dumbest product decision yet
i get they're pushing their own portfolio tool but it's nowhere near feature parity, and users will leave
Correction: the NFT Trader contract at 0xC310e760778ECBca4C65B6C559874757A4c4Ece0 is not pausable. In yet another twist of gross incompetence (but probably not complicitness), they included the Pausable module, but never included a function to actually pause
Revoke ASAP
The Azuki Elementals mint tomorrow will include
@delegatecash
support
Now you can keep your azukis & beanz in cold storage, delegate your vault wallet to a hot wallet and mint with no risk during the competitive presale
Huge props to the dev team for pulling it off 🔥
We worked with
@0xfoobar
from
@delegatecash
on a custom solution for holders looking to mint from an alternative wallet other than the one holding your Azuki or BEANZ tokens. To use this in our presale, sign up on before 7AM PT tomorrow morning (6/27).
Self-reported hack threads are the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen
"I stored my keys on an airgapped device buried in the Antarctic when suddenly my money vanished" then you ask a few questions and it turns out they gave their unlocked phone to a homeless man at apefest
kinda wild that polygon shipped a fully functional zkevm before optimism even shipped fraud proofs
narrative was that optimistic rollups could dev faster but that seems proven empirically false by now
