我嘗試將新世代的數位意識形態納入左右派的政治光譜中，並將科技加速主義與資源的集中與分散列入比較，並且以「密碼龐克運動史觀」重新爬梳數位發展脈絡，最後將臺灣與自己的數位自主權納入定位。/1 數位時代的意識形態光譜全文 matters.town/a/yq81ykvpnm8g

Just settling down in Oxford for the upcoming year. Happy to see everyone in UK and EU :)

My recent piece. GrayPunk puts East Asian conformity, cypherpunk, and “lying flat” (躺平) in one frame. The cypherpunk paradox is those who defend invisibility must often become visible. d/acc + CROPS push this further. Privacy is strongest when defense becomes collective.

Every privacy protocol says "private." But the question is: private from whom? We just shipped a new feature on L2BEAT that answers that for every protocol we track, against 5 different adversaries.

CROPS starter kit is here! Curated by @post_polar_ In 2025 @ethereumfndn presented CROPS - set of values behind "infinite garden". Start your personal journey in understanding them right here. Key concepts Censorship Resistance: “…centralized actors should not have the power to interfere with any given user's or application's ability to operate” - Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again. Open-source: “…trustlessness depends on free open source software — not only code that can be read, but code that can be freely run, verified, and improved” - The Trustless Manifesto. Privacy: “Ethereum must provide privacy unconditionally, without forcing users to prove their innocence“ - The Ethereum Cypherpunk Manifesto. Security: "Security requires simplicity, including responsible minimization of lines of code and external dependencies….True security protects both system and users from technical failure, social entrapment, and coercion” - Ethereum Foundation Mandate. dapps: + @fileverse + Kohaku: ethereum.github.io/kohaku + @rotkiapp + @TornadoCash Key readings: Buterin, V.

Digital identity is becoming civic infrastructure. The question is what kind. I wrote about the hard road toward a cypherpunk ID. From @ethereum @EFNextBillion nxbn.ethereum.foundation/fel… Code & Others pro.mashbean.net/en/series/r…

I am looking for crypto policy people to help with government awareness of ZK tech. Data leaks have gone too far, the tech to avoid it exists, and we just need to convince regulators to allow it. Let’s save lives. Proofs over Passports.

We partnered with AMPLIFY Australia to put ⿻ plural tech to the test on one of the most entrenched debates in Australian public life: Sydney's density fight. Beyond NIMBY vs YIMBY, what we found is that even the most engaged partisans hold conditions the other side can meet. Check the key findings 👉 radicalxchange.org/density-d… 🧵

Taiwan’s mobile-throttling drill happened today. At Taipei 4G hotspot, @OpenObservatory NDT measured 55 kbit/s; DASH timed out. Recovery lagged. And cool thing is Tor/Snowflake stayed reachable. @MeasurementLab @torproject Report: mashbean.net/blog/2026/0813-…
