@VitalikButerin vitalik.eth

Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, has been actively discussing and promoting various topics, including the importance of open-source and verifiable self-driving cars, the need for a culture of distinguishing between pocket money and long-term savings, and the significance of full-stack openness and verifiability. He also emphasized Ethereum's key property of incorruptibility, which ensures that even a 51% attack cannot make an invalid block valid. Additionally, he expressed excitement about the growth of layer [--] solutions, such as Base, and their potential to provide faster withdrawal times and improved security.

They don't deserve it and if ethereum ends up "winning" through all other blockchains getting kicked off exchanges that's not an honorable way to win and in the long term probably isn't even a victory. This is especially true since the real competition is not other chains it's the rapidly expanding centralized world that is imposing itself on us as we speak.

"Amazing to see so many major L2s now at stage [--]. The next goal we should shoot for is in my view fast (1h) withdrawal times enabled by validity (aka ZK) proof systems. I consider this even more important than stage [--]. Fast withdrawal times are important because waiting a week to withdraw is simply far too long for people and even for intent-based bridging (eg. ERC-7683) the cost of capital becomes too high if the liquidity provider has to wait a week.

"Fusaka will fix this. But also safety first is of the utmost importance for Fusaka. The core feature PeerDAS is trying to do something pretty unprecedented: have a live blockchain that does not require any single node to download the full data. The way PeerDAS works is that each node only asks for a small number of "chunks" as a way of probabilistically verifying that more than 50% of chunks are available. If more than 50% of chunks are available then the node theoretically can download those chunks and use erasure coding to recover the rest. In the first version there are two cases where the"

Suppose you have a constant fault rate (eg. 1/5 of registered provers fail). Provers expect to complete in one round (eg. 3s).

"An important and perenially underrated aspect of "trustlessness" "passing the walkaway test" and "self-sovereignty" is protocol simplicity. Even if a protocol is super decentralized with hundreds of thousands of nodes and it has 49% byzantine fault tolerance and nodes fully verify everything with quantum-safe peerdas and starks if the protocol is an unwieldy mess of hundreds of thousands of lines of code and five forms of PhD-level cryptography ultimately that protocol fails all three tests: * It's not trustless because you have to trust a small class of high priests who tell you what"

"We need more DAOs - but different and better DAOs. The original drive to build Ethereum was heavily inspired by decentralized autonomous organizations: systems of code and rules that lived on decentralized networks that could manage resources and direct activity more efficiently and more robustly than traditional governments and corporations could. Since then the concept of DAOs has migrated to essentially referring to a treasury controlled by token holder voting - a design which "works" hence why it got copied so much but a design which is inefficient vulnerable to capture and fails utterly"

"The scaling hierarchy in blockchains: Computation data state Computation is easier to scale than data. You can parallelize it require the block builder to provide all kinds of "hints" for it or just replace arbitrary amounts of it with a proof of it. Data is in the middle. If an availability guarantee on data is required then that guarantee is required no way around it. But you can split it up and erasure code it a la PeerDAS. You can do graceful degradation for it: if a node only has 1/10 the data capacity of the other nodes it can always produce blocks 1/10 the size. State is the hardest."

"@aidenfknrich @zhouliang_mask It's not the CO2 itself that's the (main) problem rather it's a proxy way to measure that 7% the air I would be inhaling is air that has been breathed out by other people. 3000+ ppm means lots of various viruses (incl covid variants) floating around"

"Me early 2024: hmm I haven't been cancelled for a while maybe I should say something spicy and do another round. What should it be Genetic engineering Geopolitics Stick up for illegal immigrants Me Jul 2024: cancelled for. trying not to get airborne diseases 😐 @nlukin @aidenfknrich @zhouliang_mask Yeah I triple-wield the moderna. Unfortunately it's not enough because the variants have gotten out of control and we've kinda mostly given up on even trying to advance to pan-coronavirus vaccines etc. Lots of people still working hard on this but they get quite little support. @nlukin"

"the yield comes from borrowers trading fees etc Right so this worries me. Because it feels like an ouroboros: the value of crypto tokens is that you can use them to earn yield which is paid for by. people trading crypto tokens. Even if the answer is something clear like eg. people getting 8% APR on USD are paid by people paying 8% APR to leverage ETH at 2x it still means that the ongoing existence of the defi market is downstream of the existence of the ETH market which means that while defi may be great it's fundamentally capped and can't be the thing that brings crypto to another 10-100x"

"Airdrops are a fascinating initial use case for ZK / blockchain-based identity / credential / attestation frameworks. The goals of an airdrop are: (i) distribute to community members and not randos who will all immediately sell (ii) reward contributions to the project (iii) be reasonably egalitarian but some disparity is ok (iv) resist extractive/adversarial farming These are exactly the properties that identity / credential / attestation frameworks (eg. see ideas in ) are trying to achieve. Hence for anyone building such frameworks it makes perfect sense to use token issuance as an initial"
