I have made many mistakes, all of them when I was younger.

Apparently Twitter now requires you to login to see Tweets. As much as I appreciate the anti-censorship stance that Musk has taken, I'm not going to share my thoughts on a platform that forces people to sign-up just to see them. Information I share should be privately available.

Has Uniswap lost the plot and become part of TradFi? The Uniswap interface censors many users so I deployed a fork of the UI without censorship on IPFS. I found out that Uniswap has been sending takedown notices to IPFS gateways demanding they take it down. 🧵 1/3

Additions to the shame list: @opensea @dYdX @Microsoft (GitHub owner/policy maker) All of these companies have gone beyond what sanctions law requires. They didn't just obey an unjust order, they went out of their way to do additional injustice.

MEV Boost should not be supported by core developers as long as it has censorship built into it. github.com/flashbots/rpc-… being merged should be a *requirement* for community support.

I despise "compliance" mechanisms built into ZCash and Tornado. I think they fly in the face of the claim that "Privacy is Normal". It is akin to requiring everyone setup cameras inside their house if they want curtains, so they can prove they didn't commit a crime if asked.

I have used TC funds to donate a significant portion of my net worth to scientific research that aims to address the biggest sources of human suffering in the world. I do this because I don't want people to see how much money I have, and because I didn't want credit.

I'm pretty unhappy about this, at least at first glance. When I use the Uniswap UI, especially via IPFS, I expect that any transaction prompt will be 100% permissionless/trustless. Looked at Genie contracts, it is CeFi, not DeFi. Why is @Uniswap getting into the CeFi game?

1/ The Uniswap Universe is expanding 🦄 In pursuit of our mission to unlock universal ownership and exchange, we’re excited to share that we’ve acquired @geniexyz — the first NFT marketplace aggregator — expanding our products to include both ERC-20s and NFTs 🧞‍♂️

Their policy needs to be updated to say: As soon as you unlock your account, Infura will collect your IP address and *all* of your addresses. Also, when you connect a ledger it will send all of those addresses to Infura as well.

Why is @Cloudflare censoring static files hosted on IPFS? Historically you have been a strong opponent of censorship and have tried to avoid censoring unless you absolutely have to. The *code* (which is what is on IPFS) is explicitly **not** sanctioned.

🤞 @Uniswap does the right thing here and stands up against censorship! If this is rejected there are other avenues we can pursue, but I would *much* rather see Uniswap join us on the road to a brighter future, rather than working against.

You are missing a checklist item for "float rock".

I have been fairly critical of @StarkWareLtd in the past, largely because of their licensing. Now that they have finally released all of the critical pieces (I believe) under Apache 2.0, I feel it is only fair of me to "reward" them by publicly acknowledging the change.

I love how quickly/smoothly the base fee on Ethereum drops after a sudden transient spike in demand. Prior to London, it would sometimes take days for the gas price to come down after a big event like what happened today.
