⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ Fractal Bitcoin security issues. Be careful if you are running a @fractal_bitcoin node using the official docker release, the RPC credentials are hardcoded, not configurable via environment variables, and RPC server is exposed publicly and vulnerable to attacks. So many bad security practices in this bitcoin conf file.. rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0: This is the most concerning setting. It allows RPC connections from any IP address, which is very dangerous if exposed to the internet. It effectively opens your node to potential attacks from anywhere. zmqpubhashblock=tcp://0.0.0.0:8330 and zmqpubrawtx=tcp://0.0.0.0:8331 These settings allow ZeroMQ connections from any IP, which could be a security risk if exposed. maxconnections=0 This removes the limit on the number of connections, which could potentially lead to resource exhaustion. To be honest I even thought that I was looking at a scam Github repo from a wrong organisation. So I checked your website, and again this is bad because it's not trivial to find your Github organisation. It opens the door to a lot of potential scams. After navigating I finally found the Github org, and it happened that I was (unfortunately) looking at the right repository. The Github org does not even have a link to your website, or at least your logo... You are exposing node runners to dangerous attacks. This is not serious.

Ethereum Social Layer is strong. It plays the watchdog role. It's about keeping an eye out for anything that could threaten the core values and principles of Ethereum. If something's amiss, it's the community's job to ring the alarm and take collective action. Few examples: Client Diversity: Continuously monitoring client distribution is essential for the network's health. Tools like clientdiversity.org/#distrib… help us track and promote diversity among Ethereum clients. Staking Concentration: It's vital to raise alerts when staking becomes overly concentrated. Websites like Rated Network provide insights into staking pool diversity. Censorship: Keeping tabs on the percentage of OFAC-compliant blocks is another important metric. This information can be tracked on platforms like MEV Watch. So many people care about protecting those fundamental values. To name a few @superphiz always pushing for more HomeStaking. @barnabemonnot thinking carefully about all economical considerations (for instance you should read this Rainbow Staking blog post: ethresear.ch/t/unbundling-st…). @sassal0x doing daily education around Ethereum and doing frequent reminders about the threats and stuff to protect. @JimmyRagosa praising when supermajority drops. Many L2s friends also fighting to preserve those values. I could spend the entire day naming passionate folks from this social layer, who are dedicating their time to protect the dream we collectively have. As I am saying it in my reflexion around Ethereum Alignment (hackmd.io/@abdelhamid/ethere…), I am seeing a lot of progress on some alt L1s, notably on Solana. They shown an extreme resilience after the FTX drama, and many many people are showing up to defend and protect their ideals. It's very good to see this. All L1s should aim to have the same social layer as Ethereum. Bitcoin has also an amazing social layer, and I understand the hardcore immune system mechanism. It gives the impression of toxicity sometimes, but to be honest it's also a very good protection and safeguarding to not corrupt the core principles and betray our ambitions. We need to protect Bitcoin at all cost. I am proud to be a small part of this Ethereum social layer universe, constantly expanding, and becoming more and more resilient. We are fighting strong forces, and this is extremely hard, but together we may succeed.

The world is not ready for STWO! M31 baby, Circle STARK 🔵 This is the genesis of the faster prover in the world in the making! Trailblazers never stop pushing the frontiers. And this time we do it open source from day 1!

First STARK proof verified on Starknet!!!!!! Fractal scaling baby. Today is absolutely insane. The wolves are unstoppable!
