everyone calm down, the enormous #NPM supply chain attack of the incredibly popular (27,000 #github stars) #nx#AI build tool thingamajig is probably aimed solely at crypto bros. if you don't have any crypto you (hopefully) don't have anything to worry about.

my fact free, completely unsupported by evidence hunch is that we will find this came from #NorthKorea (because if it's a well orchestrated attempt to steal a bunch of crypto it's pretty much always north korea).

🪤 Disguised Unemployment? 88% of Ethereum Protocols Are Not Earning Revenue vs 75% in Solana

｢ On Ethereum, 88% of its 1,271 protocols have not generated revenue in the past 30 days, while Solana sees 75% of its 264 protocols inactive.
Inactive smart contracts increase storage burdens, security risks, and economic inefficiency, hindering the overall user experience ｣

Used to Twitter but I wanted to try out Mastodon to see what it's like. I heard people hate cryptocurrency here but I am interested in the technology behind it. 👩‍💻

Follow and chat if you are interested. 🤠

@zkat U could create a system 2 make it easier 4 creators 2 accept #Monero (XMR) a truly private cryptocurrency, #bitcoin & #ethereum r talked about by the media as if theyre private but theyre actually pseudonymous, if u have the persons address u have their entire transaction history, but not with monero. Using it there would be no higher authority (except the state) that could enforce regulations on ur sales, & even then it would have to b serious surveillance bc the network itself is opaque

I don't necessarily disagree, but I feel that this long argument deliberately omits to mention the context which motivated this decision.

Has the #Bitcoin network been experiencing a flood of transactions which (ab)use the blockchain as an immutable storage system for messages and data?

And if so, why wouldn't they rather do it with #Ethereum, which has lower per-byte fees and also lets them run small programs?
