2024 progress on JS cryptography & ecosystem: - noble-hashes: 1.7M => 4.9M downloads per week - curves: 0.9M => 3M - ciphers: 25K => 413K, got audited - new post-quantum package - chokidar: 40M => 58M, got rewritten Looking forward to crazy new stuff in 2025.
2023 progress on JS cryptography: - noble-hashes: 400K => 1.7M downloads per week - noble-curves: ~0 => 0.9M, got 2 audits - noble-ciphers: 0 => 25K - Finally adopted by @ProtonMail, MetĐ°MĐ°Ńk, @rainbowdotme, @Rabby_io, ethers, web3.js, viem Takes time, but weâre getting there.

@yannvon Seems obvious. Any network which canât be routed in onion like way is transparent.
Itâs impossible to run ETH node over TOR. Even worse: no plans for it. This drastically reduces anonymity & censorship resistance of staking. You either get a KYC-ed hosted server, or homestake â which in most cases is also KYC-ed to yourself. VPNs are not of any help.

Updated the 2020 article about building an elliptic curve library from scratch. We need more implementations, in different languages. Itâs really easy. Check it out:

@VitalikButerin @Evan_ss6 @Shillverstein @pt0kes The fact things take time is ok. Non transparancy and lack of regular public updates on this front is not ok.

@jarrodWattsDev Hell are you talking about? Celestia is permissioned. You canât spin up a validator yourself. Amount of validators is limited. Itâs basically a new bank. Incomparable.

@TMIYChao Agree re bandwidth. However this can be massively optimized. Check out Erigon 3 with built in cl client.

@stojaaan Noble-secp256k1 fits in 4kb and doesnât really have unnecessary abstractions. Itâs as minimal ad possible for this speed / features. Secg key recovery algo should match noble.

@levelsio Remote banking is hard and will get harder for non residents. Other pieces are simple.

@gummibaat @dhh Lump sum I know, however it is not relevant to norwegians. their law says they will keep paying norwegian wealth tax for a few years if they wonât need to pay it in a new country.

@gummibaat @dhh I donât know much about negotiating so canât say here. There is no cap gains â however â as you may know, wealth tax taxes *unrealized* gains which is very bad.
