"The engineering to solve this practically would be to have miners declare an identity (mining pools do this already) Then let them signed-declare their view and gossip this in the mempool.

"Interesting aside now that people know Ethena wont get ADLd other people hedging on cexs bear greater ADL risk. so for a similar reason as to why on chain loans are safer for lenders than off chain (borrower cant escape liquidation) on chain perps will be safer longer term. And longer term on chain sources may need to integrate a x-exchange guarantee of solvency to prevent ADL for perfect hedgers. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017906955818295356 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017906955818295356"

"To be clear im not worried about fund loss overnight from quantum or even in the interrim period. I still believe we'd adapt in time. However if a threat occurred we'd get the biggest tx fees of all our lives and the chain congested to unusubality for literally years. Makes you think that custodying BTC in a CEX / multisig bridge is ideal. But . that literally defeats the point of all this"

"Q1: Zcash Shielded Assets: Oppose. Right now Orchard is at [--] shielded TPS (2 action txs). We need the protocol to be far more usable before this is a good consideration. Drop the block time scale the L1 + privacy. Improve the UX. Then consider"

"Q6: Disallowing Sprout spends Oppose. The current proposal is to disable them in NU7. ZCash is a store of value. You have to give people a clear long dated date to plan deprecation around. We should set a final date 2-4 years out and everyone can anchor around that final day. We can get that final timestamp encoded into the node software at next upgrade. Clear end dates improve communication for everyone. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019365667124793589 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019365667124793589"

"Q9: Dynamic fee mechanism: Oppose. The current proposals do not handle the hard problems of solving dynamic fees with privacy. Namely how do you do this all without the user having to re-sign for fee updates and handling accounts with long signing periods. (FROST multisigs) I expect a proper solution will require a more complex solution that gives the wallet some degree of programmability to update the fee at the end before giving it to the mempool and removing trace of this programmability. (Else your design leaks privacy around when the signature was initiated or adaptivity to mempool"

"@nate_zec Almost all crypto companies use multi sigs either themselves or via anchorage. Maybe they dont on zcash due to lack of tooling outside of emergencies these take a full day to a week+ to coordinate outside of emergencies. Signers are often across continents"

"Scaling stores of value is key for quantum resilience The blocker to scaling PoW consensus in (btc/zcash) parameterizations is really mempool designl. When bitcoin sees it must scale for post quantum all your mempool work will become even more important"

"@tyneslol @mert @WuBlockchain Itll improve market makers and payments to friends / merchants Dropping block times does improve exchange waits because they can credibly see more miners on it. The biggest risk is the first 1-2 blocks and uncertainty of the propagation race. Cref eth pow delay zcash today"

"@tyneslol @mert @WuBlockchain Ways of doing that: - take client side rolling estimates of hash per identity - convert to weight - see distinct amount of weight mining on top If you wanted could even make a fast bft side chain for preconfs w/ no consensus rule change"

"Linked idea is more of aif you have locked collateral all problems are fine. Theres two ways afaik to structure that class of idea well. - Just have a bucket of idle capital that can insure safety to a mm/exchange - have user funds in a key that never left a tee which can prove no user level double sign possible. (And withdrawing funds without tee key has a challenge period - not clear how to make private) Tho I question the real world importance. Would rather optimize near intents https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020003384284356933 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020003384284356933"
