    This is a post I've been wanting to write for ten years. Much of the debate around consensus has been over proof-of-work vs proof-of-stake. But there is an option that is simpler, more robust, and supports in-protocol governance. contenthub.coil.com/content/an-ele… 🧵👇

    A painful memory. I hope others can learn from my mistakes. Test your backups regularly to make sure they are still working. An ounce of foresight could have prevented a decade of regret. That said, I'll do what I always do which is focus on building things, e.g. @Interledger.

    Stefan Thomas has two guesses left to figure out a password that is worth about $220 million. He is one of the many people who are locked out of their Bitcoin fortunes, with an estimated $140 billion in lost or otherwise stranded digital wallets. nyti.ms/3oDCwkq

    Let me explain why this is a big deal! For the first time, #WebMonetization is used not just to donate but to unlock exclusive content. Some day, most websites will provide exclusive content, features, or turn off ads for WM-enabled browsers. And @Coil just became the first one.

    End of an era... and start of a new one! As an XRP holder and fan and former colleague: Thanks, David! You are and always will be the heart of XRP and I can't wait to see what you get up to with all of that extra free time! 🛠️

    As happens in one’s life, I’ve been taking stock of my last 40 years. It’s been a wild ride. I’ve gone from consulting for the NSA to watching the early stages of Bitcoin. Then, I met Arthur, Jed, and Chris and worked on coding the XRP Ledger. Now, I’ve spent more than 13 years

    Creating a token is like building a whole other product - huge distraction. @BeOmni avoided the #ICOTrap and raised funds through $XRP. Incredible company, incredible team, incredible vision. This is only the beginning. #BuildingAmazingThings blog.beomni.com/omnis-new-fund…
