Worth reading this security disclosure from Blockstream about Jade. It is a good example of why transparency matters in Bitcoin and open source security. No system is perfect, but honest disclosure, fixes and clear communication build real trust over time.

Trustworthy #research information doesn’t emerge by chance, it must be designed into our infrastructures & workflows.
At #euroCRIS2025 Angeliki Tzouganatou presented the talk "Trust by Design", where she laid out how #OpenInfrastructures support responsible assessment through #transparency, #interoperability, & #community governance.

Public servants are meant to be transparent. Private citizens are meant to be… private. Flip that, and you don’t have a democracy anymore — you have surveillance.

Just a minute ago, I accidentally discovered Workflowhub (https://about.workflowhub.eu/) when browsing through a few Nanopubs. I was not aware of this repository.

A first thought: "Yet another repository to register #FAIR materials? Seriously?" Then again, I am all in favour of #reproducibleComputing and want to see more of it.

On the other hand: transparency in our work is central to the #OpenScience idea. NOT cluttering a file space so that we can be transparent in our work is paramount.

Lately, we have seen #nanopub, #ROcrates, and apparently WorkflowHub, too. (This is by no means a comprehensive list.) I wonder: Are we getting too many solutions to keep up-to-date? Are we risking frightening young researchers with the high standards we are setting? We are by no means where we want to be in terms of #transparency and #reproducibility in research, or are we?

Note, that I understand how competing systems and tool sets arise. Still, my nonrhetorical questions (1 & 2) stand.

Public servants are meant to be transparent. Private citizens are meant to be… private. Flip that, and you don’t have a democracy anymore — you have surveillance.
