I agree with Thiel that Silicon Valley has a God problem. We have lost the ability to think teleologically (about ultimate purposes and ends). Thiel touches this, but does not fully develop. The Enlightenment project promised we could have progress without having to answer deep

5/ Your .env hierarchy: - ✅ Public data: RPC URLs, contract addresses - ⚠️ Rotatable: API keys (but rotate after ANY suspicious activity) - ☠️ NEVER: Private keys, mnemonics, passwords If it's in .env and can drain a wallet, you've already lost.

11/ "It won't happen to me" devs: - Ledger library compromise: $600k gone - LastPass breach: keys extracted from vaults - Atomic wallet hack: $35M drained Your OPSEC is not better than their drive and ability to fuck you up. krebsonsecurity.com/2025/03/feds-l…

I lost everything in 27 minutes. This thread took me 10 to write. Which timeline do you want? RT this. The dev you save won't be able to thank you, because they'll never know they were next. Nothing on a computer is safe. EVER. Stay diligent! 🫡

Hilarious how crypto (as in Web3, magical internet money crypto) hasn't caught up but crypto (graphy) is already using MPC everywhere

Now that woke is over can we go back to calling it the master branch?

Most people know what to do but don't do it. How do you get leads? - Post content - Run ads - Do outreach How do you convert those leads? - Follow up - Use conversion mechanisms (newsletter, webinars, sales calls) It's not hard. Just monotonous.

MPC, ZKP, FHE, TEE: they all come with their own complexity and maintenance work. They all need key management, authentication, a trust model, often some sort of PKI even a basic one. They all need contingency plans (what to do if keys are compromised.) Nothing's easy or free.
