Learning about traits from the Rust book while stuck in Bangalore traffic. Who knows if I get enough time at Silk Board junction, I might be able to finish the whole book. 🦀

Snapshots downloaded after 5h 30m. Now executing blocks, currently at block height 5734349 (June 2018). My machine is able to process almost 1000 MGas/s, which is quite impressive. 324 GB of disk used so far. Erigon consuming slightly more than 100% CPU and 10 GB RAM.

Launched Erigon with history, transaction index, and call traces pruned (via "--prune htc" flag). Not pruning receipts since they are needed by the Consensus Layer. So far CPU and memory utilisation under 50% and 700 MB respectively. Next update after snapshots are downloaded.

Takeaway from today’s Bangalore meetup – zkrollups with OP_STARK. Unlocks superior privacy + post-quantum cryptography + fully expressive smart-contracts in Bitcoin. 🔥

That and not only… A op_STARK would enable post quantum secure signature in Bitcoin and hidden spending conditions in UTXOs twitter.com/ercwl/status/1…

My body is currently hashing at 0.67 SHA-256 hashes per day with pen and pencil. I must hide in a basement in Brooklyn. Am doing the best I can. Who knows maybe soon I will be executed by Mayor Eric Adams.

OP_STARK_VERIFY might be superior to Lightning Network from private-key security standpoint if hardware wallets become STARK-aware (w/ ). Last I checked, firmware already supports STARK curve.

Wait a minute… a zkrollup on Bitcoin… would not just be a way to scale Bitcoin… it could possibly allow fully expressive Bitcoin-native *smart contracts*… without the Bitcoin baselayer having to implement a VM/runtime… Is this real life? @GuthL blowing my mind right now.

Would be pretty embarrassing for all the finance gurus to admit that the crazy crypto people were right all along.

Pretty wild analysis from @CreditSuisse Hard to believe it's real. But if so, it predicts: -End of current monetary order -New dominance of "outside" over "inside" CB money -Inflation in the West -High treasury yields and dollar devaluation -Bitcoin to benefit, if it survives

Ukraine gets invaded, banks & ATMs run out of cash, local BTC and USDT premiums shoot through the roof as Ukrainians use it to get money out of the country, posts BTC/ETH/ERC20 addresses and asks the world for donations. ”Cryptos are not currencies. Full stop.”—Lagarde

Just got an airdrop of €100 called “l’indemnité inflation” from the French State, to compensate for loss of purchasing power due to high inflation. I did the most responsible thing I could think of, and stacked 2300 sats. #Bitcoin

📣 Ledger is the only Hardware wallets vendor supporting Taproot as of today🎉 wrote a great blogpost introducing #Bitcoin app 2.0.0 launched right before the #Taproot update. But the new app is not only about taproot – there's much more 1/n👇
