wut. So tired of this ICO pumping crowd. I've removed precop from that page.
I don't want to even start a discussion here, but there are no "parts" overlap from what I can tell.
I'm available to talk about txmanifest, a common standard for describing covenants and Simplicity programs so wallets can interact with them without a custom wallet for every program. Tutorial here stringhandler.github.io/tx_m…

Real transactions. Real production sidechain.
@blksresearch is running SHRINCS, an optimized hash-based signature scheme, on @Liquid_BTC right now.
This is what preparing Bitcoin infrastructure for the post-quantum era looks like.

Isn't it weird that burning thousands of GPUs to render Pixar 3D graphics is fine but burning thousands of GPUs to write a story is frowned upon?
Ads are taking up so much space on @News24 that it'll have to be rebranded to News12
Just added the Blockstream Turin Simplicity Hackathon projects to awesome-simplicity.
6 teams built real things on Liquid using SimplicityHL/Simplicity covenants in a weekend: a PQ-safe wallet, a 2-of-2 escrow, a license marketplace, an inheritance vault, a trustless DEX, and a portfolio rebalancing wallet.

It has previously told me that something wasn't a good idea. I think I asked it for a competitor analysis and it said something like "honestly, product X already does this". Which was pretty surprising, but maybe it's just gaslighting me
This response from Claude has me questioning reality.
Do you think Claude can actually appreciate beauty or is it just sycophancy
is anyone else taking note of how much traffic on Liquid confidential? Block for block, Liquid has more confidential transactions than Zcash.

There is no concrete post-quantum signature scheme for Bitcoin today.
But over the last year @blksresearch has been working on exactly this. Director Jonas Nick (@n1ckler) lays out the proposal: OP_CHECKSHRINCS, a hash-based signature opcode for post-quantum Bitcoin.
I hope it works out for you. 100,000 XTM for 7 members is very small considering that nearly 3 billion XTM in pre-mine is reserved for Protocol, Infrastructure and Grants and Contributors
Good article. I like the idea of FCMP++ but I feel like they are rushing it into existence. I hope they run longer tests. There also is no mention of how and when wallets are expected to upgrade
If you've heard of Simplicity (the Bitcoin/Liquid smart-contract language) and bounced off the paper, awesome-simplicity is the map: compilers, SDKs, wallets, mainnet transactions, and the research that got us here.

Read the Review Draft here:

We are moving from verifying transaction correctness to deriving transaction necessity. No consensus changes required.
The Bitmachine is alive
