If you want "Ledger Stealth" you shouldn't stop at removing the logo. Make it indistinguishable and so that nobody dares to ask:

I really do appreciate all efforts to pump the block gas limit, ship Peer DAS, and moon maths that extremely smart people are working on! But as long as absolute basics fail like this here, we're not a serious industry and devs will keep using more and more centralized services

You compile your kernel yourself. You sign your transactions locally. But you enjoy the tea that someone serves you with your continental breakfast?

2 nights of my life gone forever because Qubes can't share its /boot drive with Ubuntu, doesn't tell me about it and instead fails in the most bizarre ways?! 😬

Please stop trusting random accounts on @aboutcircles.bsky.social. Always verify if an account is truly run by the person you think it is. Otherwise, a Sybil can trick you into swapping their worthless CRC - accepted nowhere - for your valuable ones.

I'll keep posting this meme on a weekly basis, until Ethereum people start admitting that the #1 issue of [D]apps today isn't lack of scalable block space but something that's apparently so much intellectually beneath everyone here that nobody is even talking about it

I really like free money. But the shift from "ETH is money" to "The US exports the best money" is sad. Especially web3 native apps should have a maximally credibly neutral form of money. That's what @gnosisdao.bsky.social launches today: @aboutcircles.bsky.social m.youtube.com/watch?v=HjGO...

If you're all building apps (sorry, of course you're building Dapps) how come I never see anyone asking me to verify the sync committee addresses that you use as a trust anchor of your Dapp - because obviously your Dapp has light client verification and doesn't just blindly trust an RPC, right...?!

IDK if this is a bull market but you'll get asked by normie friends how to 10x their money with crypto In that moment it's up to you to shill them your favorite shitcoin and set the narrative that crypto is all and only about making money (and deal with their rage in 6 months when they lost it all)

nothing will ever pop out of thin air as a fully decentralized combination of product, support, safety, governance, infrastructure, marketing, etc, for you to download on an app store. it will be participatory, and need people to buy the vision, build on a protocol, experiment and extend.

🦉 Fair to say this was a max Gnosis week, ICYMI: - Gnosis Chain activated Pectra, frontrunning Ethereum mainnet - Gnosis Pay live in Brazil via collaboration with Picnic and now also on Apple Pay (in CH/UK "soon") - Circles launch date confirmed, make money weird again (and yours) from May 21

Are there any at least half serious #MAGA corners on Bluesky? Not that I miss any of the BS of the other social media platform but the complete political alignment and lack of discourse feels a little too eerie over here... Maybe it's just my feed though?

The more the world gets fckd up, the more I'm thinking resilience technology is the most important thing I could work on in this lifetime. I'll be honest, it hasn't always felt this way.

Last week, Gnosis hosted an AMA with @scbuergel.bsky.social, founder of HOPR and VP of Technology at GnosisDAO. I went through hours of recordings, read proposals GIP-98 and 122, blogs and even a competitor's response about design flaws. This thread will get you up to speed on the future of VPN 🧵

Much easier to pretend scaling is solved (even though you know that will NEVER be true), pretend privacy and security don't matter (even though you don't care, you know this isn't true for any of your normie friends) and focus on "web3 Twitter" because every bottom 50% IQ VC LP can follow that
