The value of an X account can be measured by what doors it opens for you in real life.

House of Stake | TLA Marketplace Update Due to recent security concerns, the TLA Marketplace is temporarily frozen. Rentals, renewals, transfers, sales and claims are paused for 7 days. Existing TLAs are unaffected. No names will be lost.

MPIP-31 is now open for voting 🗳️ The proposal aims to simplify Meta Pool governance by deprecating two underused features: 🔹Delegated Voting 🔹Vote Expiration Cycles Voting closes on Oct 27, 4 PM UTC. Here's what would change, and what wouldn't 🧵

⚠️ DOM (ICP) CLAIMS IP THEFT: DFINITY VS NEAR INTENTS @dominic_w from dfinity/icp just published a long piece claiming near intents is running on stolen proprietary dfinity tech, that a fired former employee helped them do it, and more 🔍 let's fact-check and understand it ↓ he frames it as IP theft with legal implications, points to a 2022 paper on ecdsa with additive key derivation and presignatures, and says near is now trying to emergency-downgrade away from "our algorithm." if this is actual IP theft of proprietary tech licensed only for the internet computer, the normal place to handle it is court, not an x article. i asked this very question to him as an article comment: > "if this is a case of IP theft, shouldn't you be handling it legally in the court, rather in an X article?" dom hasn't answered yet. courts exist for this. discovery, expert comparison of code, damages, etc. posting the accusation publicly first, with strong language, does something different. a few things stand out in how it's written. the core privacy claim comes from an anonymous "phd engineer" who apparently looked into near confidential intents and concluded everything was "so bad that it seems almost comical." no name. no credentials. no published notes. the quote does a lot of work: it delivers the attack while creating distance if someone later asks for the real analysis. near's own docs already describe far as a permissioned private fork with a small validator set and no public networking. confidentiality there rests on isolation + authenticated access + operator trust, not client-side zk. that design trade-off (ux, speed, selective disclosure) has been public for a while. treating documented architecture as a shocking discovery requires the audience not to check the source (or to take this audience--the icp community--for fools) on the threshold ecdsa side, the paper he cites is a public security analysis by groth and shoup (dfinity) of techniques that already existed in various forms, including bip32-style additive key derivation. near's production mpc stack is built primarily on the open-source cait-sith library, with public github, audits, and an operator set that has grown and is now listed with named parties. the github prs he links read as engineering work on online-presign variants and rollout compatibility, not a clear "emergency downgrade from the dfinity algorithm," as dom claims. mapping them that way is a wording choice. the language is overloaded on purpose: "stolen," "saboteur," "craazy," "colossal harm," "emergency downgrade," "legal implications." these words turn a technical and potential legal dispute into a moral one before the evidence is examined in detail. they stick better than the qualifications. they also make later softening easier while the strong framing remains. this looks like intentional rethorics tactics. this pattern is familiar. the same style shows up in many posts on X from questionable entities. the framing generates confusion, attacks one project while implicitly favoring another, and works as click/rage bait. here the strong conclusion comes first; the public counter-evidence (docs, github, operator lists, the paper being a published analysis) comes later or not at all. this too looks intentional. none of this means near has zero trade-offs. the private shard is permissioned. people should understand the trust assumptions. i've posted about that several times myself. threshold signing designs have different decentralization and security properties depending on operator set size, key distribution method, and upgradeability. those are real topics. what the piece does is package public and contested points inside anonymous attribution and maximal language so the audience feels the conclusion before checking the sources. that is useful for narrative competition. it is weaker for establishing what really happened and if IP theft really happened. this looks intentional. accuracy matters more than the temperature. the docs, the papers, and the github activity are all public. read them with an open mind and critical thinking. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, as we used to say in the good old days of cypherpunk crypto development. i'm doing mine and will share any new findings i might encounter

“K.Korn ( Democrat Party ) joins discussions with the World Bank, highlighting opportunities for Thailand’s digital assets, particularly Asset Tokenization and Stablecoins, creating opportunities that the SEC must seize.” Been a fruitful and productive week. Lots to unpack but things are moving in the right direction.

We are at Security Armageddon now. A large part of internet is affect in some way today, lots of older software vulnerabilities are coming out and through those more software is getting exploited. PHP systems like Wordpress power a big part of content websites. Malicious TLS certificates especially affect basic services and older codebases. Plus node.js, plus LiteLLM, etc etc. Uncensored models are becoming a key to enable security defenses to keep up. Formal verification allows to improve on how things are verified but still requires smart models to translate between systems and make sure formalizations are correct. We also really need to transition to models that involve cryptography where right now API keys and access tokens are used. Hosting platforms that can secure the software even from platform itself. Meanwhile, update, patch, rotate.

Your LLMs are weebs by delfauts, prove me wrong.

A lot of people aren't underqualified They're just unknown to the people making decisions The founder hiring for a role doesn't know your name The client with a budget hasn't seen your work The creator looking for a partner has never spoken to you And someone else gets the opportunity Not always because they're more talented Sometimes they simply made the first move three weeks earlier You don't need to dm every big account you see Pick people whose work you understand, find a genuine reason to reach out, and bring something useful to the conversation A thoughtful msg won't guarantee a yes But staying invisible guarantees they won't consider you for an opportunity they don't know you want What's the best opportunity you've ever got from reaching out first?

Every time people ask whether I'm in Thailand 🇹🇭 Thailand is in my heart.
