- Epic crypto donation spree by @VitalikButerin! All AKITA tokens to Gitcoin Community Multi-Sig 13,292 ETH to Givewell 1000 ETH + all ELON tokens - Methuselah Foundation 1050 ETH - MIRI (AI safety org) 500 ETH + 10% of the SHIB - @CryptoRelief_ 500 ETH - Charter Cities Institute
- Ledger Library Exploit Explainer for Average Folks What is going on with the recent alerts not to use dapps? A library that is used by many dapps that is maintained by Ledger was compromised and a wallet drainer was added. What do I do as a normal user? Do not interact with🚨 ledger library confirmed compromised and replaced with a drainer. wait out interacting with any dapps till things become clearer. cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ledgerhq/…
- Airport security persom at the checkpoint line saw my Ethereum shirt, said "Oh, Ethereum! You should buy TRX."
- Personal news: I am leaving Flashbots and pausing most of my crypto related endeavors. 2022 is going to be the year I commit to working on my mental health, physical health, and spending time with my family. Here is what that means.
- Going to sell all my BTC for ETH when I get home. Bitcoin is bad for the environment and with Ethereum moving to proof-of-stake I feel better supporting it.
- Today is my last day at the Ethereum Foundation. I am incredibly grateful for all of the support I’ve had from both EF folks and the community over the years. Time for an appreciation thread!
- CW: suicide A little less than a month ago I checked myself into a mental health hospital because my suicidal ideations had become overwhelming and I felt unsafe. I am writing this because there shouldn't be a stigma around asking for help. Here is a thread of my experience.
- Oh fuck. Solana Foundation published beta cluster restart instructions that include instructions to block NFT minting bots manually at the L1 layer. 🫣 "Don't forget, only censor the network until it looks steady again so we can start saving face with an online network."Catastrophically terrible sign for the entire ecosystem that a validator would suggest blocking certain types of transactions. Why? Beyond the fact that playing whack-a-mole won't work, it sets precedents around censorship at L1. I hope for a strong rebuke from Solana leaders.
- Today I'm checking into a mental health facility for a specialized 4+ week inpatient stay. I've been struggling a lot with my mental health the past few months and I am voluntarily checking myself in to make sure I can get better. Things are really dark for me currently.
- This week is my first week working for @0xPolygon! I committed to taking a year long mental health break from Feb. 2022 to Feb. 2023 and have completed that. So what am I doing there and why do I think Polygon has a lot of potential despite its problems?
