To bear oppression is oppression too,
So raise your voice and fight it through.
The coward lives, yet is not alive,
For silence turns the heart to stone.
Not sure what the actual issue is, but this kind of downtime isn't uncommon for Arbitrum Orbit L2s/L3s.
Worth watching to see whether this is a sequencer issue, infrastructure problem, or something else entirely. 👀

Okay, bootlicker @marcorubio. Do you also plan to deport your own citizens and residents for the same reason? You should try that too, since you’re finally unveiling the United States of Israel.
It seems the freedom America imagined for Iranians earlier this year has now become America's own need of the hour.
Dear Americans, perhaps it's time to put some effort into turning the United States of Israel back into the United States of America.
A few months ago, I was comparing a handful of crypto neobanks/cards as the category matured.
Now, every other crypto startup is launching one, and the old players are piling in too.
And guess what? It's the same stack underneath:
→ Sumsub for KYC
→ Rain for cards
→ Bridge et al. for rails
→ Cashback on top
Bro, innovate. Or at least, accelerate.
Cashback is not a moat. Win on UX, product, brand, something!
Good to see more attention on the elephant in the room: eth_getProof performance.
The @Nethermind team is tackling the storage/performance trade-off proactively, as always.
Questions about `eth_getProof` in archive nodes for actual users:
- What performance is acceptable for old blocks? Is 1-2s fine?
- Would you trade some performance for low size? By low size I mean ~1TB for the history trie index.

Don't you remember? Mr "SuperPedo" American president wanted to Make America Great Again by heroically "liberating" Iranians from their supposed slavery.
Now that the big tech monopolies are putting open access to information behind registration walls, governments and organisations that rely on these platforms for critical information and public announcements should move elsewhere.
Your citizens/users/consumers should not be expected to create an account with a third-party platform just to receive essential updates.
Unless, of course, you're America, where your president is apparently selling $100k/month priority API access.
Reading human-written pieces amidst floods of AI slop feels like finding fresh water in a sea of sludge.
"I told him I rarely find good problems by staring at a blank page and trying to 'think strategically.' Instead, I act like a sponge. I listen to the stream of day-to-day noise, absorb the problems people are having and let them sit in the back of my mind. Over time, some fade away while connections begin to appear between others that initially seemed unrelated. Eventually, I start to see what's really slowing people down and what my team or I can do about it."

One of the foundational pillars of blockchain, a distributed ledger, is data.
And the bridge to fast, reliable blockchain data is the RPC layer.
Yet it remains one of the most overlooked engineering aspects of the industry.
(Based on my experience deploying and operating infrastructure for dozens of blockchains across different stacks)
Do you know how many app devs show up to things like RPC Standards calls or participate in github discussions?
Zero.
Do you know how many RPC providers or Block explorers send representatives?
Zero.
When I was working on standardizing the opcode tracer of debug methods, one of the longest standing complaints about client diversity (as in the clients actually diverged in implementations), I reached out to a bunch of people and they where like 🤷♂️ sounds good.
App developers love to complain but when it comes to lifting a finger to participate, I don't see much of it.

Fun fact: Lake Ontario is not named after the Province of Ontario.
The Province of Ontario is named after Lake Ontario.
Lake Ontario takes its name from the Wyandot word Ontario, translated as "great lake" or "lake of shining waters."
This was an existing name that settlers recorded in 1600s.
