also i had seen gmoney and 4156 rocking a pfp and was like oh that seems fun lets try it
so that was interesting but that part is done, i know the answer
like within 2 months of punk6529 naval invited me over and i was like well i am kindof not close but anyway lets do a zoom and i turned on the camera and he was like wtf it is you?!
1/ to see if my ideas were any good re NFTs. I have some credibility in crypto pre-6529 so I di did not want to bias the signal back to me, so i went to start with the 0 follower egg and see what happened and it was very funny bc very soon my crypto friends naval and balaji and so on started following me again without knowing it was me
i was anon for two reasons
even if 1/1000 are problematic that is still 500 people
anyway right now i don't think there is any particular upside for 485K people on twitter to know exactly who i am
are sometimes unavailable
so the type of solutions that might work with smart people
the security one is tricky because most criminals are in fact morons
First solve for "problems smart people have they don't realise yet"
Then solve for "problems morons might invent that are not real"
Damn. That's a heavy to-do list!
nobody is going to beat me up until I give them a rock from the moon because very obviously even to morons i do not have a way to go the moon tonight to get them a rock
proof of timelock
proof of security
like what happened to the ledger co-founder
but i have not solved the part of ensuring some moron does not cut my finger off
it is very frustrating because i have fully solved the part that I can't, in fact, transfer the goose
that it is very obvious that I can't transfer the goose
it has to be solved on the positive side
so it has to be solved again with Technology That Does Not Yet Exist But I Think It Should Because I Have Problems That Other People Don't Realize Yet (tm)
which you can't
bc in this form, it is trying to prove a negative
is how i can prove this to them so they don't rip my fingernails out
the part that is not solved
nobody can break into my house and steal the goose
from a technical side the security is solved
my primary concern is reducing security risks
do you want to remain anon forever or just for the forseeable future?
who knows
but who will read this chat in the future
to be clear not that i am worried about any of you
so for now I have avoided discussing any family stuff for i guess security reasons so as much as I would like to chat more openly for now i won't
btw do you have kids?
the big idea over there is also very ambitious also futuristic and not related exactly but somehow complementary (philosophically)
I wonder what all the normies working for punk would think if they knew he was only half paying attention to that business and building something much cooler here
pretty big. like not FT500 big. in US-terms "mid-market" aka 9 figure top line but quite complex
its not a 9-5. he runs another huge company
does not need our dev team
no staff overlap. other one is x,xxx employees :)
what industry is your other company in? are you allowed to share high level details? and how do you operate the other while doing this? do the devs work on both?
dunno, benefit i can explain thing. downside: it gets long
like insight into your thought process and how this materalized in your mind
so i gave him the silent treatment for a few weeks to express my displeasure :)
so I was just annoyed process-wise like oh come on, if you wanted to do this, you should have come to me first
etc etc
you can't really charge for it
bc it has no moat
was going to be some type of exciting or valuable business
i never thought "putting a delegation on-chain"
it was one of those funny situation where i did not care at all about the substance of the matter but the principle of it
oh it does not matter at all
i had to go then write it anyway
which is why despite all of this
he only did half of them
i wrote all the specs
no you don't understand
like im sure we agree there is something to the. notion of 'its the execution not the idea' but that is a crazy way to treat someone lol
no we will not have the blockchain running by Monday :)
are you aiming to have the blockchain ready before decentralized curation?
