Are Silicon Valley tech snobs still going with the "I get why blockchain is important, but not Bitcoin" attitude?

Chancellor on the Brink of Second BACKSTOP for Banks

for all the struggling as an entrepreneur, I don't think I've learned anything in the past few years. I'm a zombipreneur, not even a freelancer.

To all who did not ask: Fortunately I didn't get caught in the current SVB run, because FDIC ensures deposits up to 250K, which is greater than my balance of 0 dollars.

Today I participated in the totally clandestine process of deploying fixes to zero day vulns in two separate, and totally unrelated, open source projects. We can't keep doing things like this.

Patching zero day vulns in open source software is still sketchy as f*ck. Building out in the open is cool until you need some privacy to "fix" things without alerting anyone. In the end, every project is just a social club.

Everyone: It's finally time to start paying real attention to RGB. 0.1.0 is coming out in the next few weeks. This is a major release which basically makes it usable. I'm thinking DID, Verifiable Credentials, Arbitrage Courts (like Kleros) and more could be implemented now. Architectures will be different though, but it will be cheap and storage will be properly incentivized and not "altruistic" as it currently is on bitcoin and nostr.

Got home like this today

So, I'm about to spend 10 hours debugging a crypto library that I know has no bugs, but it's the only way to learn how to use it properly because interoperability in the crypto world is an afterthought so nothing is documented. When I'm done I'll try to add compatibility notes or at least an easily indexable GitHub issue for the next schmuck that comes across this.

I'm building a Constata.eu GraphQL client in .net core.
