Talks are up [esp for folks in other geographies :)] Also including a link to a geographic decentralisation panel at MEV SBC which I thoroughly enjoyed

signal boost pls! can anyone put me in touch with anyone at Facebook who works on RocksDB? Preferably a maintainer? Both Besu and Nethermind are reaching the limits RocksDB as we optimize past 100Mgas/block.

im excited to kick off the MTD series this week with a profile on @robocopsgonemad and his work on @HyperledgerBesu. learn more about the series:

I figured this must exist and I'm better off asking Twitter: an audited contract that I can pass a bunch of tokens, specify max slippage and it swaps them all for ETH. All in uniswap. I don't need an UI, just the contract to avoid learning how to do it and deploying it myself.

Some people are arguing that trusted relays are better than builders to enforce that the Payload is delivered. So let's debunk that argument 1/n

This was quite an exciting call, I wish the ePBS ones were so popular as to attract morons to try to post stupid videos and noise during the call, thank you so much for the idiot that came in and made us waste a couple of minutes of our time.

ethereum has been online ten years straight with zero pauses and zero maintenance windows. in that time: - facebook went down for 14 hours - aws kinesis froze for 17 - cloudflare dropped 19 datacenters - alt L1s…well, you know. every centralised giant blinks, they rely on on-call humans and scheduled downtime. but ethereum never stops, not through forks, crashes, bubbles, lawsuits, hacks, wars, and every kind of drama the internet can throw at it. and it’s not thanks to a CEO or a hotline. it’s not because someone saved it. it’s because we all did. devs, stakers, researchers, users, millions of us, scattered across the world, choosing to show up, block after block, year after year. while banks fail, clouds go dark and servers get patched, ethereum keeps going. we keep going. ten years online. forever to go.

Before the free option problem blows out of hand and is used as a drawning man last attempt to butcher or stop ePBS. Yes it's a problem. Yes it can be serious. But also there's many attenuations and other considerations: 0/7

Now that we're requesting community feedback I'm surprised not many L2s have expressed support. Incidentally going from 2 seconds to 8 to broadcast blobs will easily scale the blob number substantially, removing any bandwidth concerns. Cc @jessepollak (you guys lobbied for this)

Hear me out: how about a liveness fault right on the 29th just for the fun of it?
