Just based on my threads experience. I think there are more interesting people on X for the topics I’m interested in. The tech/crypto/ai/politics folks post on X first. It’s where discourse really happens worldwide
the past 48h have been weird and i understand the march 2020 flashbacks.
somehow it still feels calm. calm before the storm.
ok i'll bite
it's nothing against icp as a network/tech. probably more than 99% of people talking about it never even touched it or care.
dom's take just looked lame, vague and desperate for attention. that's where the hate come from.
quite literally, a big L
This is craazy. I asked one of our PhD engineers to look into NEAR *Confidential* Intents wondering how they designed their system. Unredacted, word-for-word, this was his answer 😱😱😱
"Everything I found out about the privacy claims and confidential intents is so bad that it seems almost comical and I cannot believe what I am seeing. Apparently they run a completely separate instance of the protocol, which is called FAR (as an opposite to NEAR), and that has a permissioned operator set. The entire confidentiality claim seems to rest upon the fact that it is a permissioned chain and the nodes are trusted to keep things private, there doesn't seem to be any deep technology behind it and it also does not seem to be open source. The entities running the nodes are also not publicly known.
I almost feel weird writing this because it is so absurdly bad that it feels like ... I don't know ... a simulation? I know the usual level of overpromising in Web3 but this is so many levels beyond believable that it still feels unreal."
It took me awhile to understand this and I had read that many times before. I think you need to be in the game long enough to understand that the best way to sabotage your work is to pay too much attention to what your “competitors” are doing.
I’ve seen my “competitors” pivot or die long before I could prove my thesis. So yeah, your only competitor is you because only you know what your edge is, your perspective of the world, and where you want to go.
