Ostensibly is one of my favorite words —“apparently or purportedly, but perhaps not actually.” The world is a lot easier to understand if you inject the word “ostensibly” after anyone or any media makes a statement about the world.

On my way to NYC and every 30 minutes my flight gets delayed 45 minutes. At this rate I'm not sure I'll leave in time to catch my flight back.

Straight to a hero dose, Bryan might see god. Why not try micro dose or 1 - 2g sub hallucinatory dose. Bad trips can really set you back months / years. The serotonin surge here can go either way.

if you're holding @hylo_so's xSOL, don't let it sit idle. lend it on @Loopscale and earn 13%+ APY along with hylo xp and loopscale points. literally free money.
Censorship resistance is the most important part of decentralization. IBRL with out max censorship resistance is pointless. MCL (multiple concurrent leaders) is likely the only way to forward in the long term. The complexity and negative IBRL it would impart is ultimately worth it.

Aquire hiring @Geninsus is my absolute favorite move @JupiterExchange has made. I was a power user of Sonar and the product had gotten even more useful with the resourcing that Jupiter has given it. Great eye @weremeow and team.
Most wallets don’t show you everything you own. Jupiter Wallet for Desktop does. Now you can see all your DeFi positions tracked across 160+ protocols. One wallet. Every asset. Every position 👇

Credit where credit is due. Jupiter really has seemed to change their tune on integrations. They’ve got someone full time on this and have been proactive behind the scenes. I’m looking forward to see what Aursen can do in a few months time. I’d you are a DeFi team who has struggled to get integrations and gave up, give it a try again.
Who wants to be integrated with @JupiterExchange?

I finally got tired of all the bugs on @phantom mobile and just started using @JupiterExchange’s mobile app. My god I’ve been missing out. If you are like me and get tired of phantom crapping out, not saving website state, not connecting to dapps well, please stop using it.
This is where @JupiterExchange has serious room for improvement. Many ecosystem teams struggle to get integrations with Jupiter but have succes working with @realRockyChung. Titan’s willingness to do the work will bring better pricing for their users. @weremeow please consider making integrating defi protocols a priority instead of ignoring and delaying. I would love to see @solsticefi, @thevaultfinance, @onrefinance, @hylo_so, @perena, @ExponentFinance and @RateX_Dex all directly integrated.
You can now mint/redeem Hylo products through Titan's router with size, and most importantly with far lower fee drag. It's been a pleasure working with @Titan_Exchange to get this done. Keep an eye out for deeper integrations with Titan in the coming weeks.
One of these days something I post will go to a trilly.

1/ We are going futardio. After the completion of the $KYROS TGE, it’s time to take the next step: embracing Futarchy. ⚖️ From the start, we’ve loved the fresh energy that @MetaDAOProject brings to crypto, and we wanted to infuse that same spirit into Kyros. Today, we're making it happen. 🧵
Hot take: Landing pages as a homepage are an unnecessary point of friction and some what of a fuck you to actual users. @RateX_Dex, @Loopscale and @Titan_Exchange please retire your landing pages. I love your apps and don't need an extra click and load time. 🙏

Overview of Solana to 10m TPS With zk improving so fast... and if Solana is aggressive. Solana can x^3 L1 blockspace each year.
Overview of Ethereum to 10k TPS With zk improving so fast...and if Ethereum is aggressive. Ethereum can 3x L1 blockspace each year.

This guy got so tired of me asking him to fix places in agave where bincode was a bottleneck, that he came up with a new implementation that isn't visible in profiles at all anymore lol. Bully your colleagues it works. And go check out the code and follow him it's some of the best code we've ever put out.
/bincode/wincode/g for 50x

I like this directional thinking for a different flavor of pro rata distribution for oversubscribed raises
Replying to @B3nHawkins
to reverse incentives you could do time spent committed * capital being early and in for longer gives you higher allo weight

No chance this proposal passes. Many have tried (my self included) to get discounted META. The market will reject and if @dba_crypto and @VariantCap are serious they will come back with a better deal. It’s inevitable.

there should be preferential allocation to oversubscribed ICOs for $meta holders. Working on a proposal for this beauty of futarchy

Really excited about the noise and excitement here but pro rata distribution is unfortunate. Someone that wanted to put in a specific amount had to momentarily put in 50x that to get their target. I think limits should be set and communicated up front and make it first come first serve. Not great to have a whale scoop up last minute while locking up for the least amount of time disadvantaging the folks taking the initial risk before targets were hit. Still some work today but really glad for the success of @MetaDAOProject’s launchpad

The cap will be set to $3,000,000. This sets an initial price of $0.3 per UMBRA. Umbra's token address is PRVT6TB7uss3FrUd2D9xs2zqDBsa3GbMJMwCQsgmeta
