    Bob Lutz "staked his reputation" on the just discontinued Volt. Now he takes pot shots at Tesla. A decade later @elonmusk repeats his vision word for word...

    It is amazing how the fact of a little less than 1,000,000 defensive gun uses per year is ignored. But who wants facts scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/cgi/viewconten…

    Cloud Wallet and Chia Signer are so easy and fast that it’s hard to believe it’s one of the most secure ways to custody crypto assets. It just feels wrong but uses so right…

    Replying to @kiyoshi34000 @Ledger_Support and 2 others
    Hey @Ledger_Support - please stop misleading our people and tell them when the current version of IETF BLS will be supported by Ledger firmware. Your team tells us that it is "sooner or later." 🧵

    Yesterday we filed comments on SEC's Amendments Regarding the Definition of “Exchange”. The proposed definition is so broad that this letter probably makes any service hosting it a communication protocol system as it contains an offer for a security! keybase.pub/hoffmang/Chia-…
    To further illustrate, the posting of this QR code below by the Commission could subject the Commission itself to potential scrutiny for allowing a method of communication that brings a buyer of securities together with a seller who has made this Chia Offer available: [QR Code of Offer file] This transaction offers a commodity, chia or XCH, for an asset token named GAD that was issued by a South American entity. The GAD asset token would likely be considered a security in the United States. It is a firm offer until canceled on the Chia blockchain by the maker. Anyone who reads this can take the offer at any time before it is canceled. This is a slippery slope for any internet or telecommunications provider to be most wary of as a single set of messages or even a QR code can serve as the basis for classification as an exchange under the proposed Rule 3b‐16.

    The @chia_project blockchain was already the most decentralized blockchain ever by node count. It is, as of moments ago, also the largest storage related chain ever. @filecoin 5.335 EiB @chia_project 5.378 EiB
