Here is sample metadata from one of the tweets sold: https://explorer-mainnet.maticvigil.com/tokens/0x28009881f0F...

This data is stored on the Matic blockchain. The most important bits are

1) Text contents of the tweet

2) Canonical link to tweet (on twitter)

3) Digital signature by owner (using their ethereum wallet)

Valuables (the service minting tweets) is also responsible for linking a twitter account to an ethereum address. Also, these tweets are purely collectibles, i.e. they don't confer copyright or commercial rights to the buyer.

Now this is the type of hack I come to "Hacker" News for.

IIRC, Brian Armstrong (CEO coinbase) was at the top of the MtGox volume leaderboard, because he relied them for Coinbase's retail exchange.

Curious to understand how the peg integrates with Bitcoin's UTXO model. For instance, Matic [1] uses a construction of the Plasma framework [2] so that the peg can operate bidirectionally.

The Assange case has been the most political trial in my lifetime. The plaintiff was the United States.

It seems possible.

What is the possibility that the USA was aware of the verdict in advance and perhaps gave it tacit approval?

I've been dreaming of something like this for a while. This is amazing. Thank you so much!

what is your job?

> I get the impression that she wrote a hit piece

Hopefully the paper gets leaked so we can judge for ourselves.

> Instead of developing opinionated software with a simple interface, GPG was written to be as powerful and flexible as possible.

Moxie is the project lead for Signal, an encrypted messenger (https://signal.org/). That is what he ultimately offered.

Assuming N isn't 1, they should be able to survive a ban by a single government. Can be extended to multiple governments

Unrelated; this site runs ads literally between each sentence. smh

RIP Patreon.

Anyone know the reasoning for the $150k cutoff?

edit: plz ignore, misread (thanks bb611)

Anyone else think it's suspicious that they paid $3M for a plant to the cofounder's father?

Maybe ghost kitchens will fix the unit economics.

Obviously this sucks as a proposal but... how do we stop the child porn?

It's trickled into other mainstream/downstream services as well like Patreon. Patreon bans certain creators because they have a "policy" on acceptable content that is backstopped by visa/mc policies.

Yes, but that's definitely not the main point here. There is a seemingly huge money laundering operation at play.

And either FinCEN is not disclosing so it can get to the point of making charges or it's providing cover for those in power. Probably a combination of both, honestly.

> with no malicious wrong doing

There is clear evidence of malfeasance, regardless of whether he died or not (sending "Quadriga" assets to other exchanges, etc).

So many smart tech people see IP as an issue when in actuality it's not much different from xenophobia stemming from blue-collar job "loss" in the US.

Accept it will happen and become better from it.

> Twitter baits developers into their API again

Lol

Summary of Tether's risk, in the author's own comedic gold:

Saying “our stablecoin is backed one-for-one by U.S. dollars in a bank” is not quite the same as saying “our stablecoin is backed by an equal notional amount of three-year dollar-denominated loans to our affiliated crypto exchange, much of whose cash is currently frozen.”

Quite a few were last time I checked. Say went from filling up that entire building, to renting out the basement, to renting out the upper floors, and then moving into the basement X(

Pretty sure they ultimately got acquired at a heavy discount. I left before that though -- around the period you describe.

RIP Say Media (/ Six Apart / Videoegg). We used to work in that building.

Use case recommendation: pick a track with a good background beat and another track that is mostly lyrical to lay over it. ie: https://rave.dj/XDTIdjbTSIWHxw (gets great at 30 seconds)

Looks like this post is angering some people so I will mention it looks like the promo is regardless of gender? Aside from the header "Stripe for female founders has invited you to join Stripe Atlas." there is no suggestion that gender is a limiting factor for the discount.

There's also single-character punycode domains, e.g. ¢.com which converts to http://xn--8a.com
