Dün ETH Zurich’teydim. Twitter’dan AI’ın matematiği, bilgisayar bilimini vs bitirdiğini öğrenmişler. Okulu yakacaklarmış.

The talk is for non-technical and technical people, my hope is we walk away with a way to explain Ethereum to our family members.
Audience participation will be strongly encouraged, and there may be a prize :)

“Being able to freeze hacked or stolen funds, recover assets, reverse txns and protect customers should be a feature, not something that goes against cryptos ethos”
Cool, so who holds the freeze button? Congrats you’ve reinvented a bank with useless cryptography
As it turns out, crypto being regulated and supported by governments might be a better outcome than running away from them.
Years of decentralization theatrics, not your keys, not your crypto, hardware wallets, governance, etc mean very little when customers / businesses keep losing money to hackers / scammers.
Being able to freeze hacked or stolen funds, recover assets, reverse txns and protect customers should be a feature, not something that goes against cryptos ethos. Obv a fine line between government overreach vs pure decentralization
At the end of the day, every time someone loses money, we risk losing that user forever. And the more users we churn, the lower the chances of crypto actually succeeding.
Decentralization still matters, but we likely spent too much time optimizing for it, e.g like thorchain or Tornado Cash, where bad actors can take far more advantage of permissionless infra vs the avg user
While we spent far less time optimizing for customer centric features like trust, safety, fraud prevention, and recovery, which are arguably far more important for mass adoption.

So far, the promise of Ethereum has failed
We promise censorship resistance, verifiability and privacy. Most users get none of them
More on this Nov 4 at 4pm

@ambire why does your chrome extension make http requests every 10 mins when my wallet is locked?
i'm a fan and trust that you guys don't store ip data but this seems like a mistake

India is 17% of the world, including a huge number of talented developers working on ethereum and ZK not to mention other kinds of secure, private and open technology, and it has so far had 0 of 11 devcon(nect)s.
I'm excited to engage with the community here.

After many years of working in this space I'm proud to share this article about my learnings on incentives with experience from Aave and Euler. Enjoy
I don't think someone has to be a criminal to see how dystopic a fully onchain world without privacy would be.
After spending a lot of time reading through privacy maximalist forums, I have been thinking about the inseperable relationship between identity and privacy. I see hundereds of people consider identitiy as almost the opposite of privacy which is a very fundamental misconception.
I would define privacy as having the control power of what others can know about you. While anonymity hides who you are, privacy gives you a right to show something you choose to be seen in public. This distinction comes with significant advantages for the future applications on blockchain which we can discuss later on the comments.
So, I believe well designed identity systems can actually be the foundation of privacy. People should be able to establish a reputation and prove things without having to expose entire transaction history. Instead of disappearing from the public eye, the goal should be to gain control over what to reveal, to whom, and under what circumstances.
For me, identity and privacy are obviously should not be competing. It's possible and necessary to build a future they complement each other. I would love to hear the perspectives of the ENS @ensdomains @mely_jpg and Railgun @RAILGUN_Project @RailgunIntern communities on this since both work on Ethereum. Could identity actually be the missing piece in onchain privacy?
Computing AES by hand on paper makes me feel like I'm making fire by rubbing two sticks together. Yeah, eventually it works.

Tbh, I still like Polygon (Ex-MATIC) $POL and I believe it gets way less attention than it deserves.
I know saying good things about a project when it's investors have lost this much is not something people usually prefer. You know, being populist is way easy. I personally would rather have my own opinion, even if it goes against the crowd.
I still think Polygon has a very strong crypto-native identity and I think it might be among the top 5 projects that highest potential to bring new users into blockchain not necessarily by teaching them "crypto", but by powering apps people actually want to use.
Even the fact that Polymarket was built on Polygon is pretty respectable on its own. So, I believe current narrative around Polygon is kinda missing the bigger picture.
