- We found and disclosed a security vulnerability in #IOTA, a $2B cryptocurrency. medium.com/@neha/cryptogr… #mitdci
- No, you're really not. This is gaslighting bullshit. The entire thread is a travesty. Always question, never settle, and know that there are lots of us who try to debate, criticize, learn, and improve without being jerks.Replying to @nwoodfine5/ If you’re unhappy with bitcoin culture, sorry, you’re the problem. Bitcoin is better off without you—you’re not cut out for the challenges ahead. You’re not good under pressure, you’re too sensitive, and you lack conviction.
- Serious question: If your validator community can easily coordinate for a network restart, what's to prevent them from coordinating to block transactions or contracts when compelled to by the SEC?
- I never want to hear you say you can't find female speakers for your tech conference again. 7 keynotes by women at #velocityconf!
- I'm a little worried people from government agencies are throwing around the word "decentralization" like we know what it means and how to evaluate it.
- I'm humbled and honored to be nominated by inspiration, mentor, and friend @Joi for @WIRED's 25th anniversary edition. Huge thanks to @nxthompson, @klintron and @sarahfallon! tl;dr: time to BUIDL
- There are a lot of posts on Ark, a Bitcoin scaling solution, but I couldn't understand them so I wrote my own. Includes: - Breakdown of the protocol - Comparisons to Lightning and rollups - How it benefits from CTV and CSFS (reduced interactivity)
- "not only are we not plugging the holes, we’re proud of how fast the pipeline is leaking" great post by @danluu danluu.com/teach-debuggin…
- This talk is kind of amazing. Lots of interesting advice based on experience building and running a product with users! @tayvano_
- Hey guys I'm a cat.@neha is a Director at the MIT Media Lab, and she’s the latest #blockchain leader we’ve honored by turning them into a Fancy Cat! bit.ly/2R1wa0H
- How do we handle the fact that blockchains fundamentally do not scale? Thoughts on scalability: “The Importance of Layer 2”
