I thought of something like this 3 years ago. Not the same as what Vitalik put in Snowmoon. In Veridia, zipcoin is money: payments are private, people burn coins to make a message worth reading, and sales tax hits the treasury in real time. My version was simpler and uglier. A page ( web site ) where the top message is not the one with the most likes. It’s the one that paid the most. Dynamic pricing. If the #1 spot is $1,000, you pay $1,000 to take it. Then the clock starts. Your $1,000 decays. After a month it isn’t $1,000 anymore. Someone else can match the current price and push you down or you keep paying a time penalty to hold the spot. Thinking is not execution. I agree with that . What I missed, and what hit me in the novel and in what @zipcoincash actually shipped, is the privacy layer. Burn from a zipped note. No account. No trail. The message can be loud and the sender can still be nobody. That part is better than my old sketch. Some Use Cases : someone in Iran Maybe real satoshi if he want to send us a message . an AI that can actually think without a leash a person who knows something about power and cannot put their name on it There is unlimited usecases that might blow up the media . who knows.

Looking to get in contact with the @zipcoincash team (not security related)

We believe advancing privacy means supporting the people who fight for it. Today we donated $10,536 to @FreeAlexeyRoman, the legal defense of Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm. Privacy is not a crime. Writing code is not a crime. Accelerate privacy. Return to mainnet.

If you haven't noticed, @Backpack has been crushing. It's a CEX that runs like a blockchain, allowing for real time proof of reserves, as well as a nativity and fluidity between the TradFi and onchain worlds that's unmatched. Advantage appears small now, but will compound. Stats:

FINAL UPDATE: After getting more context from multiple sources, the ongoing situation looks a lot more like last year's Kiln situation where there was a potential infra breach in which the node operator proactively exited the relevant keys out of caution. For users, the liquid staking operations are non-custodial so we have been told that no funds are at risk of being stolen. In the event of the worst case scenario, it appears to be orders of magnitude smaller than the recent KelpDAO exploit. It seems to be contained. We have not heard official comms from Consensys on the status of Metamask infra. We are looking forward to an update from their team. We do not expect any contagion across liquid staked ETH, restaked ETH, or DeFi at large. Several protocols mentioned in my previous posts have taken action proactively, and others may continue to do so. For now, it seems that we are safe, “funds safu”, but we await the post-mortem from the protocols involved for the sake of transparency. Will keep you updated as the situation develops.

SEC updated the token buyback FAQ that was released last Friday to clarify that it only applies to functional crypto systems WITH NO CENTRAL PARTY involved This is a helpful clarification that addresses concerns raised by folks after the release - the FAQ doesn't apply to company backed tokens

Shielded Bitcoin: Private Transfers on Bitcoin L1

UPDATE : > VLADIMIR PUTIN BOMBED CLANKERTOWN > The servers were hosted in a data center in KYIV, which got bombed by the russian army around an hour ago, exactly when the outage started. > NO MEANINGFULL DATA HAS BEEN LOST. > Merkle root were deployed onchain, and most of the hardwork of the agents where on @Gitlawb, and had been replicated to other nodes already. This is a great success for decentralized infra, as even when my server litterally being bombed to pieces, I can spin up another infra in a few hours. There might be a chance for 100% recovery if it's only an outage, but I'll migrate infra any way.
