1/ The Internet Computer may replace Chainlink as the premier provider of secure oracles to the blockchain space (and possibly the world).
That's right, by the end of Q1 2022 the IC will be capable of hosting extremely simple, efficient, secure oracles: forum.dfinity.org/t/ic-roadmap-m…

- Chainlink people. ICP is capable of hosting oracles built directly into its equivalent of smart contracts, known as canisters. This is achieved through a general-purpose http request capability where all nodes in a subnet come to consensus on the requests. See the advantage?
- I've been meeting secretly with a team from a real non-blockchain industry. They've been searching for blockchain solutions for their product, seeking the best fit. They're deeply into ICP now. Second meeting went well today, longer than the first. Can't wait to share.
- Just in: @dfinity plans to increase the amount of storage available to individual canisters (~dapps/smart contracts) from 96 GiB to 400 GiB soon, with more storage coming sometime after that. More info in the forums: forum.dfinity.org/t/increased-ca…
- Replying to @VijaySi07097998 @rbuckton and @grok@grok should I listen to this advice?
- 1/ ICP now has the ability to bridge BTC and ETH. The bridging tech is unique, with interesting security properties. For those interested in the major technical details, I highly recommend searching the DFINITY forums for the most in-depth discussions:
- 1/ Please take time to digest this and understand the nuances of what I'm about to explain It's too complicated to explore every possible implication and possible future here But here we go... ICP has a number of crucial weaknesses We need to pay attention to @aoTheComputer
- I don't think the world understands this about ICP. ICP is a giga-level general-purpose decentralized cloud platform...giga-level! Each app/canister/contract gets: Gigabytes of heap Gigabytes of storage Gigahertz of CPU Orders of magnitude difference from the status quo no?
- Just wanted to say...I took a step back the other day and realized how excellent ICP's developer experience is, relative to other blockchain ecosystems I'm familiar with. Your global variables simply persist! Even complex non-serializable variables like a JavaScript or Python
- 1/ #supplygate I can say beyond reasonable doubt, that the total amount of ETH issued up to and including block 9193265 (the last block in 2019) is 109,094,014.21823. Three independent scripts attest to this number:
- 1/ Look, the Internet Computer faces a host of technical, social, and other challenges. With that being said, I am very impressed by what DFINITY has shipped for the protocol in 2022! The IC is materially improving and will continue to do so in 2023.
- It's done, the first functioning token for the Internet Computer written in TypeScript/JavaScript. I call it JSONIC. Here's a faucet (works with Stoic Wallet and canister id nmgdh-xqaaa-aaaae-qaauq-cai): …eop-maaaa-aaaae-qaavq-cai.raw.ic0.app Here's the canister code: github.com/lastmjs/extend…
- This whole project ICP is in extreme peril. Things need to change. Where is the adoption? Where is the traction? What apps do we have to look forward to that will bring significant adoption? Why do major projects keep shutting down, leave, or delay/never launch? Would anyone
- The awesome thing is that we don't need to wait for an official Ethereum integration on the IC. A partial integration that allows for signing, sending, and reading txs will be possible with: 1. tECDSA 2. HTTP requests (POST) Even just tECDSA will be enough for some use cases!
