Barnabe gets it
Speed matters. Both inclusion, and finality.
Keep dropping the blocktime, and making more credible pre-confs!
Hyped for the 25s block era starting imminently. Nu7 in 3 days
Everything will go 3x faster!
Holy shit, 9k ZEC just left Sprout into Sapling
Was this some developer trying to be the last one in 😅
This month was security szn, especially prescient with the wave of attacks!
- protecting against the biggest wallet privacy leaks
- protecting the software supply chain
- cutting unneeded dependencies and surface area
- live mainnet nodes across compilers and architectures
- first of its kind p2p fuzzing and property testing

The new MPTCP bug is quite serious.
It does not affect @ZakuraZcash , but it may affect your machine that runs it due to other services. (E.g. golang code auto-enables it)
Out of abundance of caution, I highly recommend all node operators ensure MPTCP is off on their machine

Made a draft ZIP for turning Sapling withdraw only:
Stats at a glance:
- 1.2% of non-mining pool transactions were Sapling
- Of those, they are predominantly withdrawing
Lets get everyone into Quantum Recoverable, Formally Verified pools!

@jswihart @ebfull @vizorwallet This ships right now, protecting users.
Zodl ruins your quantum attacker privacy forever with one near swap. Many of my friends need to rotate their mnemonic to do this
it’s scan-free, that’s the point.

Over the last month, the zakura runtime has gone from dependencies with 250+ aggregate maintainers to now sub 100. And it is only decreasing.
This is the lowest to have ever existed in zcash’s rust nodes

Not only do you get quantum unlinkability today, but it’s also the secret for scalable payments in tachyon!
This is how all “payment request” flows will work too
So it’s already in your wallets well before tachyon arrive

This one is due to @alex_xiong_, a novel trick for decomposing large multisets for our specific purpose. Really simplified Tachyon's design.
The quadratic residue trick used in the OSS service is brilliant, and first-time ever to my knowledge!
TL;DR: Zero knowledge prove set-inclusion / exclusion, without any hashing overhead!
We condensed Tachyon’s design into a video that walks anyone familiar with Zcash’s protocol through each change.
My feelings after reading the OpenAI matrix + integer multiplication papers:
- Coppersmith-Winograd led us astray into thinking wreath products would beat middle school combinatorics
- Õ-notation was a mistake and led a generation of TCS people to completely ignore log factors

I’m pretty shocked ledgers don’t come with tamper evidence protection.
I legitimately assumed they have something in there to fry the hardware if you open it
- We found a cafe
- talked Zcash with them
- onboarded them to @vizorwallet
- they now accept payments in Zcash
Haha. Now they ask all their customers if they wanna pay in Zcash :)

Solana 200ms blocks are live.
The distance between cities did not change.
The internet did not get faster
The data just has half as long to get there.

People don't understand Napoleon's insane IQ. Napoleon once spotted a shipment of boots missing in an army of 500,000 troops. Napoleon once recalled 2 cannons missing from formation of 500 of them. Napoleon would read for 12 hours straight on the most abstruse subjects. Napoleon had a custom library designed to take with him on campaign. Napoleon would dictate and read letters while taking baths. Napoleon would kick his counselors awake when they started falling asleep at 2 in the morning. You are very likely not operating at Napoleon's level. When you study the greats of history you really realize the true level of genius that these people operate at.

Zakura's Roman Akhtariev wrote that hash-based WOTS signatures make post-quantum-safe rotating transparent Zcash addresses deployable today, though no integrated wallet flow exists yet. Full post-quantum protection for transparent pools is targeted for January.

this is purely insane btw
bears threw the kitchen sink (ai breaks cryptography, yields, oil, openai reves, ledger hack) and btc *checks prices* is green on the 24h
Pretty great ad for self custody MFA
this ledger supply chain attack is crazy
they soldered on an esim, LTE module, and separate CPU wtf
