Honored to join the Technical CAB.
Big step for me. I've been an engineer at heart for as long as I can remember, and now I get to practice the craft alongside people I look up to, both as engineers and as humans.
Thank you for the trust. If you want to go far, go together.
3/5 Technical CAB 🛠️
Reviews SIPs that change the protocol, Clarity and network software.
Chair: Jesse Wiley
Returning: Aaron Blankstein of @stackslabs, @obycode, Friedger, j2p2, @setzeus
New: @RaphaStacks

Bitcoin is not sitting here. It is hunting.
Le Bitcoin ne dort pas ici. Il chasse.
— Ocifarsito™
A few reasons for this:
(1) BTC shift to becoming a productive asset. As you said, “BTC is dead” “there is nothing you can do with it”. BTC very recently got self-custodial yield (@Stacks enabled this). 21Shares, Nakamoto, and other large institutions are already earning 3% BTC on BTC yield. Billions more in demand pipeline. BTC becomes a productive asset with such income (similar to SOL & ETH). You can borrow against same collateral and participate in onchain capital markets (@ZestProtocol for example is already doing this). This is new info against your current view that BTC is just passive SoV.
(2) BTC quantum and AI-threats are currently overblown. I’m aware of private work streams that will significantly reduce the market fear around Bitcoin’s quantum and AI-safety risk (this is not widely known but a big factor in my BTC price estimate).
@chamath for example cited Bitcoin’s inability to organize against quantum risk as a major reason for being bearish. I can take the other side of it because of the above mentioned private work streams. (I happen to be deep in the Bitcoin eco since 2013, so have early access to such developments.)

Kairan First Mile is live.
LAB received Ocifarsito's reserve, routed to the Open Source Builder Fund pool to back African developers shipping Bitcoin infrastructure.
Thank you @ocifarsito, Kairan and everyone that contributed to it
To everyone who gave during our first 10K, thank you
Your STX and sBTC just went on-chain to @LetAfricaBuild as Kairan's First Mile
It backs African developers shipping open-source Bitcoin infrastructure
Every step is public on @Stacks

Clarity WASM: faster, binary becomes source of truth, verify tools coming
Clarinet v4 soon: Simnet acts like Mainnet
Off topic: testing a pegged limit order book + loop market making in Clarity
And a simple Clarity contract to fund builders in Africa

Sixty-Four Squares
The board is honest. L'échiquier ne ment pas.
I can lose a knight, then a rook,
and still win the game.
But one square I didn't see,
one line I left open,
and it's over. Point de non-retour.
So I take my time. Sabır, sabır.
I check every move, every answer,
the way I test code
that goes on-chain once
and can never be fixed.
I can give up my vezir and still win.
I can't give up my attention.
Dikkat, mon fils, dikkat.
Chess humbles me. Code humbles me.
Both teach the same lesson:
I am only as strong
as my weakest square.
The one I forgot
is where the game ends.
Şah mat.

years ago only one dev backed my call on the StackSwap roles
great dev, better person
Whoabuddy
his account is gone now and I miss him in this ecosystem
builders like him are rare, back the devs who still speak up
why it matters
StackSwap pools obey one role: "swap"
whoever holds it can move any pool's coins ⚠️
you're lp-ing into someone's swap role
a DAO vote decides who holds it 🔑

one thing leads to another
StackSwap funded the votes that drained Arkadiko
I saw those roles years ago and said it too quietly
I won't make that mistake again
PEPE was also born on StackSwap
but its creator killed every role and sent the last key to the burn address
cant-be-evil, on-chain
that is why it is the only StackSwap token that passes the fakfun bar and is listed 🐸

This is also my failure to some extent: I could have voted at app.arkadiko.finance/governa…, even though it wasn't my role
When a protocol wins, its success is counted as the ecosystem's 🏆
When it loses, it becomes one independent project's affair 🤷
Both cannot be true at once
Our take on Arkadiko 👇 link in next post

Be boring. Grab a bag of blockstack:native and let it cook while it auto compounds auto restakes fully on chain in your safe @JuiceofBTC
No need fancy LST at this point, who knows who has control access?
Be boring.
Wake up early, go for a walk, get sunlight, brew some coffee, read books, spend time with friends and family.

Remember when Luke walks into Jabba's palace? He waves his hand, and the guards just obey.
That's your wallet without a safe. Malware grabs your seed, the hacker waves his hand, and your wallet complies. Drained.
Juice Safe is Jabba. The mind trick doesn't work. 2FA, you get notified, the hacker gets cut off.

Congrats to @RaphaStacks and @friedger on the Technical CAB.
Rapha ships on Stacks every week. Friedger has been building on and around the protocol longer than almost anyone here. Two builders now reviewing what ships for everyone.
That is the right kind of room for SIP review. Well deserved, both of you.
