If you find yourself always agreeing with whomever you last spoke with, that’s bad. You will of course be wrong sometimes, but develop the confidence to stick with your convictions.
What do you believe about web3 security that most would disagree with?

Exploit Bounty Opens We will allow the attacker a 12h grace period starting now to contact us, after which a bug bounty will be opened rewarding 10% of funds returned if the intel leads to a recovery. We already have several leads regarding the IP addresses and on-chain…
Kinetiq is now live on Hyperliquid mainnet. Heavily kHYPE coded. Liquid stake your HYPE for kHYPE now –– visit kinetiq.xyz to get started.
I'm convinced that the future of crypto development, just like the future of crypto itself, isn't to onboard people (devs) to "crypto". Instead it's to present comprehensive solutions for building valuable apps - crypto primitives just happen to be part of the software stack.…
Coming to our EthCC event tomorrow? A little treat: we'll have a private reading of The Degenerates, a novel by Raeden Richardson and the first with a focus on crypto in literary fiction. First 50 guests will receive a free, signed copy of the book too. We’ll see you there!…
I was sick of seeing all these crypto debit cards for wallets, we're supposed to be replacing TradFi not joining them! How hard could it be to do it crypto native anyway? So I created this - FreePay - the worlds first open source, fee-free payment terminal.
Code4rena will run audit contests for free, as public goods. 100% of funds from sponsors will go directly to auditors and judges. We won't take any cut. Why? 1. Competitions are commodities. They're CRUD apps. Why should builders pay premium for a website just to submit bugs?…
If I have to pick 2 I'd go with: 1. Lack of trust with the protocols: cause people are too concerned about losing all of their saving if the protocol gets exploited 2. Having to manage their assets: the time and research needed to use the right platform is certainly a overhead.
Looks like that amount is even higher, and the problems are deeper than I initially thought. People have issues with: ⬩Smart contract hacks and exploits ⬩Lower APYs(I believe this is a communication problem) ⬩Lack of trust with the protocols ⬩Having to manage their assets…
Hugely agree there. Literally anything: lo-fi, ambient, lounge music, and even nature sounds are highly distracting and make me anxious. Basically, for me, there are only two options: - Noise-cancelling headphones with nothing on play - Brown noise However, at some point,…
I find that music backfires when investigating stuff and needing to hear your own thoughts. It's ok when pattern matching or verifying previous ideas. But for actual pondering? Even voiceless music feels like a nerf. What are your tips anon? Speak aloud? Write everything down?
everyone be like rn
With less than five days of notice, Anthropic decided to cut off nearly all of our first-party capacity to all Claude 3.x models. Given the short notice, we may see some short-term Claude 3.x model availability issues as we have very quickly ramped up capacity on other inference…
I think trying to change people who are semi-retarded is a lost cause. You can change and/or waste your time, life, and energy bothering *help* change someone who is also aware of what they aspire to be or the situation they want to be in But bothering to do that for NPCs is a…
question to everyone who actually had an audit: - what did you enjoy the most? - what did you hate the most? - what did you miss?
This is pathetic for sure but let's not forget how ben.eth raised like what ~$20M or something lmao
People who are relying on alarm clocks are adults who don't have the discipline/will to go to sleep consistently at a specific hour. Definitely a skill issue.
alarm clocks are a skill issue, imagine not being able to simply tell your body when to wake up before you go to sleep
I've seen a lot of rant re competitive audit prize pools going down. My 2c is that the main reason these were so high in the first place, e.g. $80K for ~900 SLOC in the first place Is that when code competitions were introduced, the abundance of security options that we have…
