We&#39;ve switched to a new approach that I&#39;ve decided to call Oblivious Signing: thanks to the power of MuSig2, WebAssembly, and zero knowledge proofs, our signer never sees your signing key *or* the transactions you want us to sign.<br/><br/>instead, when you register a key, first you commit to a signing policy (anything - input and output amounts, destination addresses, time windows allowed for signing, you name it) - and we&#39;ll only sign transactions that match your policy. <br/><br/>Policies are as complex as you need and as private as we could possibly make them.

In this<br/>dissertation, I study the norms that shape the Internet’s under-<br/>lying structure through its transnational governance. Norms are<br/>the ‘widely-accepted and internalised [sic] principles or codes of<br/>conduct that indicate what is deemed to be permitted, prohibited,<br/>or required of agents within a specific community’ (Erskine and<br/>Carr 2016, 87). Internet governance is the development, coordina-<br/>tion, and implementation of policies, technologies, protocols, and<br/>standards. Internet governance produces a global and interop-<br/>erable Internet functioning as a general-purpose communication<br/>network in transnational governance bodies. I examine four cases<br/>of norm conflict and evolution in three key Internet governance<br/>institutions: the Internet Engineering Taskforce (IETF); the Internet<br/>Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN); and the<br/>Réseaux IP Européens Network (RIPE).<br/><br/><a href="https://www.academia.edu/44194819/Wired_Norms_Inscription_resistance_and_subversion_in_the_governance_of_the_Internet_infrastructure">https://www.academia.edu/44194819/Wired_Norms_Inscription_resistance_and_subversion_in_the_governance_of_the_Internet_infrastructure</a><br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_a79f8a52ae8adb326680a27aa25d659a88a2b14f83f0308adcce559535e7e8c4.png"> 2023-03-09T16:02:46Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsvezvuyfhg07hp6ufq74uwlhydrxn98e27vsh3d6f54hyedl3avcgzyzn8ax867vhj2g9w2axcgf39xnnmj339ecx5u999pjt7xckqddmsukjqw5r 🎶 3AC was first in line 🎶<br/>🎶 Now Silvergate and Gemini 🎶<br/>🎶 SBF, Caroline 🎶c<br/>🎶 Gensler wants Binance to die 🎶<br/><br/>🎶 We didn&#39;t play with shitcoins 🎶<br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_d505c62d7c5586da42dc645f3adaae59aa005c02bc2d942c8fefb5e426511989.gif"> 2023-03-02T15:57:20Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqstgpuvw0fpfm2xwv8k4ul8e3def0dr5pfck7t47txjjm68kgq88ugzyzn8ax867vhj2g9w2axcgf39xnnmj339ecx5u999pjt7xckqddmsu99czfn The combo of:<br/><br/> a) this Politico oral history with Biden admin officials marking the one year anniversary of the war in Ukraine - in which sanctions against Russia are described in terms of &#39;shock-and-awe&#39; and collective punishment, with Treasury officials imagining themselves as warfighters deterring enemy behavior and blithely ignoring collateral damage <br/><br/><a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/02/24/russia-ukraine-war-oral-history-00083757">https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/02/24/russia-ukraine-war-oral-history-00083757</a><br/><br/>and <br/><br/>b) this Bloomberg article published on the same day, quietly admitting that sanctions proponents have given up on them having any impact on Russia&#39;s behavior<br/><br/><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-02-24/russia-sanctions-to-stop-putin-s-war-in-ukraine-became-300b-distraction">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-02-24/russia-sanctions-to-stop-putin-s-war-in-ukraine-became-300b-distraction</a><br/><br/>has convinced me we&#39;re in the final stage of the decline of the dollar system, in a &#34;where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?&#34; kind of way. 2023-02-24T15:49:21Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs0rwph3u3nh3uuycy9nvm3jykfys40x42ml2k77a2vhwr76qnw7uszyzn8ax867vhj2g9w2axcgf39xnnmj339ecx5u999pjt7xckqddmsuku4nsm I think it&#39;s great that this mining pool came back from the dead right after that first non-standard ordinals transaction was mined and people started getting shouty.
