Anything but upgrading to PQC signatures.

For the love of g-d. Take a lesson from Israel.
You cannot run a modern nation around fear that @Yusuf4Love2002 with 168 followers is going to call you a far-right genocidal fascist if you pick up a gun to save your society. It WILL do just that.
Just ignore it, and fight back.

It’s cool’n all. But they did it on stolen land. 🏴☠️

All I can think of is how cruel aging is
If we want to solve aging, we need more AI
That's why I'm an AI maximalist

A lot of middle class Canadians are anti-American, and always have been—LONG before Trump. The danger has always been that someday we'd get a leader who'd indulge that side of Canada and plunge us into a reckless, prideful conflict with the US that we fundamentally can't win.

I wrote an article about why Carney REALLY blew up trade talks with the US. Hint: it was about Quebec and government media subsidies. The government-funded press in Canada will not tell the truth about this.

Regularly getting the "no you don't understand AI data centers are evil ones!" discourse. Well, sorry to disappoint you guys, but from the outside, it doesn't matter whether the main equipment is CPUs or GPUs or anything else, the thing still doesn't use significant water (that's a lie), it still almost certainly makes too little noise for you to hear (and if it does make a lot of noise it's because someone did the engineering wrong and it can be fixed), it still isn't raising your power bill, and it is still paying a ton of property taxes that are likely paying for your local school and police department. So no, I *don't* agree that somehow the AI data centers are notably different.

JUST IN: Dr. Dre declares only people “who have trouble creating” see AI as a threat.

Prime Minister Carney has to explain what precisely what was offered and why he turned it down. The deal is rejected, so there's no more secrecy defense. I am tired of all this vague "trust me bro" language.

Hegemon is 100% private and post-quantum secure:
- STARK proof system (128 bits of PQC soundness)
- ML-DSA signatures
- ML-KEM encryption
- Fully PQC P2P layer
- Everything formally verified
- Not a single elliptic curve used anywhere in the stack

TBC, I think it's cool, but allow me to use your comment to expand on why that's only step (1).
1. The recoverability feature is a hook that allows note owners to prove provenance *in the context of a future, undefined scheme/proof system*.
2. That proof system has to itself be PQ; moreover, this is custom logic that a future version of the Zcash protocol would need to support OR there needs to be an out-of-band verifier that validates these proofs and processes transfers out of Ironwood into a new pool.
3. A wallet/app needs to be created with an interface that actually let's users pass in the relevant info as a witness and generate the proof
This is exactly my point. The PQ recoverability property of Zcash is a "hook" for a bunch of future migration infra that has to be built.
This isn't a critique; if anything Zcash should be complemented for having way more than most protocols have! But (even though I know you're not implying this since you said "PQ-prepared") it doesn't mean Zcash is PQ-secure.

Pointing out the obvious, but an autist would cut the cake more perfectly than anyone. Failing to cut the cake is the reveal that she's NOT autistic. Pic related.

Those of us bitterly opposed to communism fall into two different groups.
A) Those who argue that it must be abandoned because it has show us that it doesn’t work.
B) Those of us that are so bitterly opposed to collectivism applied to dissenting individuals that we are relieved that it *cannot* work. A happy accident. Those who don’t care if it *could* be made to work: we’d continue to fight it. Working or not working is irrelevant. It’s just bad. Period. The end.
If Communism could actually be shown to deliver stable high levels of growth and innovation, broadly distributed, with low inequality,
I believe I would still fight it to my dying breath.
My opposition to communism has little to nothing to do with the fact that it doesn’t work as an economic system. So, it’s merely a relief that it doesn’t work. A convenience for its opposition.
Communism and collectivism are intrinsically soul killing for people who are hyper-individualistic . So let’s stop hiding behind the fact that they don’t work as economic or governance systems.
Some of us who aren’t the biggest fans of naked capitalism red of tooth and claw, hate communism not because we think capitalism is intrinsically fair. It isn’t. We oppose it because communism hunts the individual.
For us, It’s not communism vs capitalism. That is a businessman’s argument. Instead, it’s communism vs individualism for me. Show me a system that fights harder to let a dissenting individual thrive more than brutal market capitalism (which also barely works), and I am all ears.
Not everything is a market after all.

Imagine thinking that "without funding, we will not be able to continue providing 90% of our service for free" is a "threat" rather than a statement of fact. Grow up.

It's not freedom tech if it's not private and quantum resistant.
Hegemon is the only fully PQC shielded pool where quantum resistance is not an afterthought.
No elliptic curve liabilities, it's built for privacy that lasts decades.
And now it just got faster and more flexible.

Hegemon 0.10.0 is now available! 🚨
This is big
1. Much smaller proofs, same security, more throughput!
2. Formally verified in Lean up to cryptographic assumptions to guarantee the integrity of the total supply
3. Scaffold for trustless zkVM bridges
4. Private PQC multisigs
