Haven't decided yet, need to review the huge sponsor list! What about you? I’m really interested in Proof of Personhood with World ID.

It was just approved overnight! Announcement coming soon, but you should be able to install/upgrade shortly, if not already.

I actually don't think that's an issue for Worldcoin. Their service is about creating proofs using ZKPs based on your biometric proof. That original biometric proof is already non-transferable. In…

Been thinking about this a lot. I actually don't mind an eye scanner. If you can eventually build one of these orbs with a Raspberry Pi and open source parts,…

When I started the project, the World ID verifier was not launched on Base, which meant cross-chain communication with LayerZero or Hyperlane was necessary to verify proofs on Optimism .…

Despite your name (😉), I actually looked into it after commenting and learned it's not currently decentralized, not open source, there's no end-to-end encryption, and it looks like the only…

You can specify any URL for metadata on Lens, so dynamic NFTs are already technically supported. However, the Lens API indexer will not scan the data more than once, so…

Editing isn't actually supported at the protocol level, but I know it's on the radar. Not sure if it's a part of Lens v2. I've considered adding an optional timed…

Note that you do have the option to use the Lens "relay" instead of the "dispatcher". This means that you sign the post transaction, but it's still gasless. If using…

🤦‍♂️ On chain blocking can’t come soon enough. Going to start unfollowing people that comment on your garbage posts.

Is Console decentralized or open source? Why would one use it over Discord?

I think a valid reason not to is that Lens is still invite-only, a year and a half later. It’s a bit irresponsible to hedge on them opening anytime soon…

I use https://shots.so for things like screenshots and mock-ups, but it isn’t optimized for text, nor does it work on mobile.
