just bid on the @craftsdev private auction with my @UmbraPrivacy private wallet using money I made w private mining on @zinc_cash private solana is happening!

Amazing tutorial video on using Arcium for anyone building as part of the privacy hackathon!

me: wdyt of X? ai: HOLY SHIT that's the greatest idea I've ever heard, you're a genius, the next john carmack vs me: my biggest enemy, who I hate, suggested "X". wdyt? ai: he has a point, but didn't consider Y which could cause issues if Z astonishing how well this works tbh

you can just build things

current SOTA and that's with a fucked up jump table impl (don't look at 1 non-dupe acc cost🫣) and another 0.5 CU per account optimization (that I know of!) missing - 100% beatable!

hosting a workshop on building encrypted apps on solana tmrw at 19:30 CET in warsaw will be around all day, come drop by to chat anything cryptography and/or solana!

truly insane stuff. rotor making me feel like a smooth brain for previously just assuming the tradeoffs of turbine were a given (cascading failure if close to root node in the tree fully shits the bed which erasure shreds dont help much with), super clean design didn't fully dig into the intricacies of votor yet, but using bls for votes has felt like a total no-brainer with huge payoff for ages (the *idea* of it at least, I'm sure it wasn't easy!), extremly cool to see this being implemented and yea it goes without saying that ~150ms finalization times for a globally distributed chain is just mind-boggingly fast. accelarate!

sad, esp w the news of kidnappings in france. KYC data (+ sensitive data generally) always becomes a target, and the people affected can do little to defend themselves except hope that the parties custodying their data won't fuck up bullish on a world where we trust math instead

hanging out at the Berlin build station w @nicklb_ , come say hi if you want to chat ab privacy tech & cryptography on solana!

this is probably one of my favorite parts of Cerberus, as without dishonest majority, you have an inherent conflict between trustlessness and scalability for honest majority MPC: how do you make an honest majority system trustless? get *as many nodes* as possible so that controlling the majority of that is incredibly hard how do you make an MPC system scalable? get *as few nodes* as possible since MPC overhead increases w node count dishonest majority allows us an out between this deadlock, since with it our trust assumptions no longer are a function of the total node count and instead are a constant 1. This means we can operate smaller clusters and still be confident things are working as long as we trust at least one of the nodes in it (could even be ourselves!)

it's finally here! check out docs.arcium.com/developers to build & deploy your first encrypted app on Solana today!
