    While many of us care a lot about decentralization, that isn't how we should pitch it. For most, decentralization is the means, the ends is mass coordination and agreement. Scalability is how we are going to get there and for that reason I am also deeply focused on Plasma on ETH

    I'm contributing to a new Decentralized CA and naming project with a bunch of friends. The goal is to replace the Certificate Authority system entirely and to not have that annoying SSH fingerprint question. handshake.org

    We need to improve the culture of cryptocurrencies RIGHT NOW. As crypto gets big, we are spreading out this culture to the wider world.

    The confrontation at the conference should not be seen as a normal response to disagreements in the crypto ecosystem. It was an extremely strong response to extreme, intentional deception. True, respectful disagreements of philosophy should be celebrated.

    Both @Excellion summarizing his views on Bitcoin Core's position and @rogerkver emphatically presenting his concerns on LN&BTC should be seen as an example of (mostly) respectful discourse. It's important to recognize that honest, respectful disagreements are preferred.

    The money people/culture entering is nothing compared to the existing toxic culture and team sports politics. We can and will do better.

    Coins secured by Proof of Work are currently hydroelectric currencies. They will eventually be solar currencies.

    Why are Californian solar firms paying to give away power?
    The Sunshine State's solar power glut leaves firms paying companies in other states to take it off their hands.

    YAASSS. This works even better and may be more secure /w Ethereum sharding. Could be an interesting testbed for sharding strategies as well.

    Article has errors, I'm an advisor on that project. Didn't leave Bitcoin, but spending time only on ETH until the toxicity dies down.

    Certificate Authorities and DNS are the foundation in which all of the internet services stand upon. The green lock icon in your browser may not be as secure as you think, there have been many known security failures (see DigiNotar in 2011).

    Lack of talent relative to demand is the biggest damper in this stuff getting big, developer education for those getting in now is limited.

    1/ Bickering about whether #cryptoassets are in a bubble misses the point. The key is everyone is watching now & talent is flooding in
