before you touch this: 1) I was charged a Transaction Fee: 0.00444... ETH($11.92) to deposit $5 in ETH 2) Withdraw Network fee up to US$5.22 3) Balance expires in 30 days "After expiry, the service can claim the full original deposit."
Today the EF and OA announce zkAPI—a new means for private AI Picture this: deposit ether into a vault, sign a zk proof, get a fixed amount of private inference. Advances like these help us move past middlemen's requirements that we link our data and identities. Read more below

I found a bug in a Bitcoin wallet which would have your BTC stuck forever if you used a certain multisig configuration. I didn't understand, read or write the code, @claudeai did. I triple checked, opened a private issue: it was merged and shipped. New world.

Let me explain Russia and Ukraine to MAGA in a language you might actually understand.🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Imagine you have a neighbor you don’t like and he doesn’t like you. One morning he doesn’t knock on your door. He kicks the fucking door down with a bunch of armed friends, shoots whoever tries to stop him, moves into your house, takes over half of it, abuses your family, kidnaps one of your kids and starts teaching that kid that your family never really existed and that the house actually belongs to him. You fight back. You manage to push him out of some rooms, but he still occupies half of your house. Your friends start bringing you guns and ammunition because otherwise this motherfucker is going to take the rest of it too. Then suddenly some guy from across town shows up and says, “Why are you so pro war? Why don’t you negotiate? People are dying. We need peace.” So your neighbor offers you his brilliant peace plan: “I keep the rooms I already stole. I keep whatever I took from your family. You promise never to join the neighborhood security organization that might protect you from me. Your friends stop giving you weapons. And then I promise I won’t take the rest of your house.” Would you call that peace? Would you hand him half of your fucking house? Would you tell your wife and children that sacrificing them is necessary because fighting back is “pro war”? Or would you load every fucking weapon you own and tell him to get the hell out of your house? That is the part I cannot understand about MAGA. The same people who tell me they would shoot somebody for stepping onto their property suddenly become fucking Gandhi when Russia crosses an international border with tanks, occupies Ukrainian cities, kills civilians, kidnaps children and then demands Ukrainian territory as the price of “peace.” Russia can invent whatever excuses it wants about NATO, Nazis or Russian speakers. None of those excuses gave Russia ownership of Ukraine. Peace is not the victim giving the attacker whatever he managed to steal. That is cowardice and surrender. And if you wouldn’t accept it in your own fucking house, stop demanding that Ukrainians accept it in theirs.

I've been talking with top execs at several travel companies about AI in the recent weeks. A weird conundrum: terrified to share with others their data for privacy/GDPR and using closed AI models all day. They do not know @AskVenice APIs or TEE even exist.

DeFi has code-level guarantees, but weak behavior-level safeguards. I mean: thousands of safes get drained all at the same time and the system treats this as non-suspicious. It's obviously an attack. I am aware of the trade-offs but we need to get serious about this.

My take is that if fundamentals are strong growth happens anyway. It’s the difference between a forest (strong fundamentals and zero gardening) and a garden (weak fundamentals and all gardening). Forests are decentralised.

People hallucinate too, never forget that
Replying to @antirez
Moreover I don't want to convince other people to write code with AI. They can keep their old way, what's the problem? The only thing that is mildly disturbing is that the average programmer does not have a solid idea of what LLMs are, so they hallucinate a lot (the people).

So many years and we still need to explain the basic assumptions over and over.
ethereum isn't a fucking company and you don't "fix" it by building a $1b command center with a board & a mandate to pump eth. the moment you route staking or fee revenue into a central org "aligned with price", you've built a capture machine and called it accountability. that's _not_ alignment, that's governance gravity - power concentrates, others defer, and it slowly becomes the system's real control layer. cypherpunk systems don't win by optimising some retarded balance sheet, they win by resisting control, staying permissionless, and never creating a single point of pressure, bribery, or capture. period.

ChatGpt vs Venice $vvv. Different products but one thing to notice: ChatGPT only works on OpenAi models, Venice works on virtually all of them.

How to think about $DIEM at ~$1,700: You’re buying ~$1/day of Venice $vvv inference, forever (well, for as long as Venice exists). If Venice runs for 5 years: that’s ~$1,800 of inference you’ll consume. 10 years: ~$3,650. But:

1.A dollar of inference 5 years from now is worth less to you than a dollar today (you could’ve invested that money elsewhere). 2.Venice might not be around in 10 years. Fair value lands between $1,000 (pessimistic) and $2,900 (optimistic). Market’s pricing the middle.

“But Europe is poor” lives in the same rotten part of the brain where “but the west” emerges from when discussing Russian imperialism.
The "europoor" discourse migrating from terminally online Twitter to the WSJ op-ed is actually a big tell. When a narrative stops being a meme and becomes establishment messaging, it means the establishment needs it. You simply don't reach for "but Europe is poor!" unless your domestic numbers have become very hard to spin for the citizenry. Millennials and Gen Z have no memory of American prosperity - you can't revive the American dream, because they never lived it. And if they ever compare their median household situation to, say, Denmark or Belgium, the math is simply not mathing. Just go with the truth (for once!) and admit the U.S. has been run as an economic extraction zone for a narrow class of people, and the bill is now coming due. Pointing at Europeans won't make average Americans grocery bill or insurance premiums go lower.

Bad times make strong people. @BohuslavskaKate @CaolanReports and many others are raising to the challenge. My spineless generation will fade in the fog of time in shame as it deserves. There is hope.
