  4. Privacy, human rights, and Tornado Cash - Molly White
    • Even Molly White, a consumer protection advocate and blockchain critic, is troubled by the privacy implications of the Tornado Cash judgement. If producing financial privacy code is illegal, we won't have digital financial privacy.

  5. Braidpool: Decentralized Bitcoin Mining Pool
    • Braidpool is a decentralized bitcoin mining pool that uses a merge-mined block-DAG, rather than a block-chain, to do accounting of mining shares, and FROST multisig to non-custodially perform miner payouts. @teemupleb does an awesome overview.

I liked that we had so many great posts about 'privacy' this week. I am learning about it and I am now more inclined to have a high privacy.

Sometimes I don't want to write the little summaries, but it can be very satisfying when it goes well.
  1. find the surprising bits
  2. find a compact encoding of them

Your summaries are the best feature of the newsletters. I was just thinking what a succinct way to put things across - the end point of the last iteration is the start point of the next
