making code & art do things they were not designed to do.

i've said this for a long time, as a part of my practice in detachment: ossification of memory is the enemy of personal progress. i've seen a lot of musings about the past and nostalgia on socials today, and have had a bunch of conversations with my wife and some artists in past couple days. nothing is permanent. everything is waiting to become a memory. and even those memories are fluid interpretations of the past. and that fluidity can make nostalgia more meaningful in new contexts. /esoterica

everybody is getting into Zcash, but i'm not sure you all understand the important role @ZecHub is playing within the community surrounding ecosystem.

gm When @MathieuFrance /@Artcrush proposed a couple Isles in exchange for an exhibition all over France, I said yes. I minted them and they randomly got this wonder, inspired by Meobius, with the maximalist "I Can't Let Go" vibe. 3 Boats in the background, a Synthetic Soul, a Singularity as a Psychopomp and a final exhale for the soundtrack, that's quite the amazing one.

this is worded very eloquently. optimally, i'd love to see all the infighting cease, and have different projects/networks explore boundaries together. if you want to explore the exponential, you can't get caught in the binary; we're all looking for the best way out of the box.
All the discussion about shielded bitcoin is awesome. True Privacy should be normal. But trying to explain that to a hardcore bitcoiner just result in "don't shill me shitcoins!" resentment. This paper opens up the discussion so that even them can start looking deeper into the topic without "loosing the path of pure bitcoin". And many will understand the importance and benefits of privacy in the way. Now I do believe that this shielded bitcoin approach will not be ready for production anytime soon. And bitcoin won't adopt it. And it's technology wise inferior to zcash. But I truly celebrate any step toward wider adoption of true privacy.

Monero going up every time North Koreans compromise an exchange is absolutely not good for the long term viability of the project or its image generally. "Look how good it is for crime" is not a sales pitch.

Signal Rituals My experimental collection about preserving memories that are fading away. Memories of love and beauty. The goal: immortalizing moments not just through regular art, but through art that will live fully on-chain, unaffected by hosting or platforms. Yes, fully on-chain on Ethereum L1. Not generative art, but my authored animations. Living on-chain forever. More info below 👇

I really love to see how "privacy is normal" is making its way everywhere. Clearly the right direction.

UX can be complicated for most users using a new thing. I've always been a fan of live tutorials in apps for this reason. Understanding receipts, viewing keys and what these mean for ownership on @Zcash is already a new thing for everyone just coming in. So I'm building some educational UI around it. I'll also be making a video about how to "cut rings" on @Zcash soon, using zec-os as an example. (Hoping this vernacular sticks 😅) Tutorial live soon™

A couple of years ago I asked some of my favourite artists to explore a world I'd been building and make anything they liked from it. There were no limits, they could do anything. To my eternal surprise, nearly all said 'yes'. It was called SAGAWORLD. This is what they made 🧵
