delulu They didn't even try hard. If NSA/KGB/Mossad/MI6 (insert your favourite agency) would really want, they could take down any cryptocurrency in a matter of days. For instance, validator IPs are public. How hard would it be to DoS and disrupt the Beacon Chain? You bet!

This is in my top 3 reasons to not run a node or a validator at home. No, it's not about the TLA. It's about not broadcasting to the entire world that my IP address is involved with crypto. It's not hard to get the physical address of a given IP address...

It's amazing how easy and cheap to steal LLM models. Defending is hard! Prediction poisoning degrades accuracy at undesirable rates. Watermarking outputs can only detect harm post-hoc.

It's interesting how many professors have name tags at their rooms like "John Doe: ABC Distinguished Professor, XYZ Award Winner, etc." But the G.O.A.T. himself, just has the simplest name tag: Terence Tao. Be humble folks! We understand 0.00001% of the world anyways.😆

Two years in the making, I finally made enough progress to introduce Ingonyama PhD Scholarship. For selected students: – Up to 4 years of support – Full-time PhD studies at top U.S. cryptography research groups (universities TBA) – No strings attached Ingonyama becomes your

Math is everywhere!😊

🚀CairoLang/Noir devs! Pls do God's work: Implement class group arithmetic! Executing class group operations off-chain and proving correct execution on-chain would unlock many applications: (homomorphic) time-lock puzzles, VDFs, accumulators. youtube.com/watch?v=BGvFYS…

TL;DR My thesis is that Ethereum either 🛠️1) Replaces the RANDAO with an unbiasable randomness source. or ⚠️2) Biasing the RANDAO will be normalized so that it'll be part of the MEV tool chain. Reorgs, missed slots will happen regularly decreasing throughput for everyone.

Dear folks at Protocol Berg v2! Brought some papers for you! Grab one till they last! Tolle lege! p.s: Has anyone printed out the BitVM2 paper?🥺😆

Bro, just one more hard fork! One opcode! I swear, one more upgrade, and we hit the promised land! One precompile for mass adoption! Bro, one ETF! One Senate bill, and we’re mining BTC on the moon! 🚀

History sadly repeats itself. Anaxagoras Socrates Giordano Bruno Galileo Galilei Ignaz Semmelweis Alan Turing Ross Ulbricht Roman Storm Alexey Pertsev Privacy is good. Crypto is good.

We may be dismissing entire branches of cryptography prematurely (RSA, class groups) because of a "looming" quantum threat. In 5 years, the Internet'll be deeply integrated w/ NIST-endorsed PQ crypto schemes that are less efficient and secure than their pre-quantum counterparts.

Together with Nguyễn Ngọc Kỷ I'm happy to co-organise the Young Cryptographers Forum 2025 in Hanoi, Vietnam! Two days (24-25.08) of crypto talks from @Motiyung, Ni Trieu , Nguyễn Ngọc Kỷ, Seres István András, Miroslaw Kutylowski, George O'Rourke and myself. viasm.edu.vn/hdkh/YCF2025

Excited to present our new work on Data Availability Sampling (DAS) with repair tomorrow at SBC! #sbc25 With Joachim Neu , Dan Boneh & Valeria Nikolaenko. We tackle a key open problem: how to repair missing data chunks in DAS. 1/5

We’re excited to welcome Seres István András to ETHIstanbul! 🎊 A PhD researcher at ELTE - Budapest UNI, working at the intersection of cryptography, blockchain, and math. He’ll be revealing the new cool paper on a new attack vector to Ethereum consensus. Looking forward to this one!
