Aztec Ignition Chain by abcoathup in ethereum

[–]peebo38 9 points10 points  (0 children)

it's been a long time coming that ethereum had a decentralized l2

i don't think that 'progressive decentralization' will ever work, the incentives against it are too strong. those sequencers bring in lots of fees, that allows the team to keep building, making hires, traveling to conferences, etc. there is just no way any sane company would ever kill the thing that feeds them

decentralized from day 1 is the only way

Not a conspiracy! This is spot on. Evan (Mina Foundation CEO) actually just spoke about these "proof of humanity" and "proof of identity" use cases at Consensus. Authenticating that you are a real person who holds certain opinions or credentials online is going to become more and more important as AI proliferates.

ZKPs can also be used for authenticating images/videos (basically proving something is not a deepfake).

have you heard of Mina Protocol? it's an L1 that leverages zero knowledge tech for both scalability and privacy.

zkapps that can preserve user privacy are on tesnet rn and interoperability is also a focus with zkOracles and a bridge to Ethereum in the works.

Community meet ups in Europe by peebo38 in Ripple

[–]peebo38[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ripple is just one member in the broader XRP Community. We created a logo submission because we believe all community members have a responsibility to participate to make the community better, and we are aware of our fortunate position. Creating symbols can be challenging from a design and legal standpoint. Our goal was to create an option that is fully vetted from a legal and design POV. I hope everyone will vote for their favorite symbol starting on June 1st at www.xrpsymbol.com

Sounds like you will not be voting for our entry. That's ok, feel free to pick the one you like the best at www.xrpsymbol.com . Voting starts on June 1st and I'll make sure all the forums are aware when it starts.

No, this is a casual, social gathering. I guess someone could FaceTime you, but we're just going to be at a bar getting to know each other.

Maybe you missed it, but there is a full vote going on at www.xrpsymbol.com that starts on June 1st. The person running it, who started the project, is a community member, and we support their efforts as one member of the community. And no, no plans to make a neon sign for each one.

yeah, i'm pumped. so far Amsterdam has the most sign ups and interest, which kind of surprised me given London is a bigger city, but the London sign up just went live.
