Founder of @NEARProtocol, @ilblackdragon explains what formal verification is and how it can eliminate soundness bugs once and for all.

How private indeed?

It’s tricky indeed—how much of our inner world we should reveal to the outer-world in this digital age we are living through. I guess I should end by saying stay shielded?

It’s time to rise up! But first we must plant the seeds of change in the hearts and minds of all. And together rise up as one. Whole. Complete. And ready to rock and roll! LFGrow Zcash @zooko all of us together as one can really make the change Barack Obama so desperately called for… $ZEC or communism?

Bravo @zooko
