meehowon Threshold Schnorr signs in 3ms, threshold ECDSA in 5s

This started as a side effect: I implemented FROST, CGGMP and DKLs23 in one codebase to understand them, and kept being surprised by how differently they cost. So I benchmarked everything I could get to build on one machine: my implementations, both Rust DKLs23 libraries, Binance's tss-lib, Taurus' CGGMP library and Zcash Foundation's frost crates.

All "sins" you mentioned are results of trying to be more convenient for users used to web browsers. Current state of web is pretty far from being decentralized, including web3.

meehowon Ledger's NPM account has been hacked

So it was intended to be used this way. Didn't work very well. Connect-kit-loader trusts whatever the CDN throws, CDN trusts whatever NPM throws and NPM trusts whatever GitHub throws.

Regular smart cards also don't have screens, so it would mean totally blind signing. That's the problem which hardware wallets are solving, but sometimes the screen is just too small to show all the details of complex transactions.

meehowon Ask HN: How do you discover new websites?

Haha. True, but content here not very generic.

meehowon Ask HN: How do you synchronise your notes?

No plans or even ideas how to commercialize it, so it will stay at $-10/month.

I made it just for fun, but noticed that there are some users, so I keep it running.

meehowon Is this the end of crypto?

You don't need to trust when you can verify. Some exchanges do audits and proof-of-reserves regularly, but majority of them prefer to cheat on their customers.

meehowon Is this the end of crypto?

Fractional reserve is a scam, not crypto. Every institution which doesn't have money which they promised to keep safe, should collapse. Proof of reserves and audits are extremely easy in crypto and it doesn't require any regulations. Self custody of crypto is also pretty simple. Market is young, people greedy and as a result we got this domino of falling companies. Even after Mt. Gox collapse people didn't learn much, but I quietly hope it will come.

meehowon Ask HN: How are you helping employees affected by the war in Ukraine?

Borders are open and they can cross without any visa. Russia is spreading some fake news about closed borders. There is a list of reception points in Poland (some are walking distance from the border) in case they have problems with finding accommodation:

meehowon Ask HN: What finished/done/complete software do you use?

This is interesting one: https://github.com/snark/jumpcut/commits/master?after=7f9772...

It was unmaintained for 7 years (at the time when I was using it), but looks like it's alive again. It's a simple program which "just worked".
