Real transactions. Real production sidechain.
@blksresearch is running SHRINCS, an optimized hash-based signature scheme, on @Liquid_BTC right now.
This is what preparing Bitcoin infrastructure for the post-quantum era looks like.

Isn't it weird that burning thousands of GPUs to render Pixar 3D graphics is fine but burning thousands of GPUs to write a story is frowned upon?

Just added the Blockstream Turin Simplicity Hackathon projects to awesome-simplicity.
6 teams built real things on Liquid using SimplicityHL/Simplicity covenants in a weekend: a PQ-safe wallet, a 2-of-2 escrow, a license marketplace, an inheritance vault, a trustless DEX, and a portfolio rebalancing wallet.

This response from Claude has me questioning reality.
Do you think Claude can actually appreciate beauty or is it just sycophancy

is anyone else taking note of how much traffic on Liquid confidential? Block for block, Liquid has more confidential transactions than Zcash.

There is no concrete post-quantum signature scheme for Bitcoin today.
But over the last year @blksresearch has been working on exactly this. Director Jonas Nick (@n1ckler) lays out the proposal: OP_CHECKSHRINCS, a hash-based signature opcode for post-quantum Bitcoin.

If you've heard of Simplicity (the Bitcoin/Liquid smart-contract language) and bounced off the paper, awesome-simplicity is the map: compilers, SDKs, wallets, mainnet transactions, and the research that got us here.

Read the Review Draft here:

We are moving from verifying transaction correctness to deriving transaction necessity. No consensus changes required.
The Bitmachine is alive

Just released asdf-simc — an asdf plugin for managing SimplicityHL compiler versions. If you're building Bitcoin/Elements smart contracts with Simplicity, this makes switching compiler versions dead simple.

Hot take: AI generated PRs take long to review because the author is smarter than you. (and me)

Youtube's algo has taken me into the wild world of these #doc_bru_mentaries. Basically, ultra-high-quality, ultra serious topics like taxi mafia and the AWB, hosted by Capetonian bru's. It's wild but amazing

Built a small tool for visualizing garbled circuits - paste a circuit, step through it gate by gate, see wire values update in real time. Runs entirely in the browser via Rust WASM.
Would love feedback from anyone working in MPC / crypto engineering: stringhandler.github.io/garb…

"Great question" is the new em dash. Don't forget to delete it. 🤣

I was over explaining (hu-man-splaining, if you will) to Claude in a prompt, and then I thought, it's actually smart enough to know what I mean. If that's not a sign of real intelligence, I don't know what is.

Just added 3 new projects to Awesome Simplicity:
fadroma — cross-chain dApp framework with SimplicityHL integration
simf — WASM SDK for compiling & running SimplicityHL contracts from JS/TS
simf-app — escrow, vault & oracle demo on Elements
The Simplicity ecosystem is growing 👀
