"As we try to move towards allowing other sorts of investors into these private markets -- which I think is really badly needed for diversification purposes -- these issues of valuation are really central." -- @SECPaulSAtkins on CNBC this morning

I think we should embrace credentials that let me attest to facts I choose such as my citizenship, accredited investor status, absence from sanctions lists, without revealing my underlying data such as age, home address, and credit score.

should we tokenize the MINX IP and airdrop IP to people who supplied verifiable data? everyone wants their hair. no one seems to want crypto yet. maybe more of a bull market decision. cc @Bookof_Eth @ethereum @jchaskin22 @OpacityLabs @thepablob to collaborate if/when we do it.
MINX vs standard oral minoxidil, compared. Patients on standard minoxidil tablets get the whole dose at once. A standard 5 mg tablet peaks at 37 ng/mL in about 30 minutes. In our pilot, MINX 5 mg reached 6 ng/mL at hour 8. MINX is a lipid-matrix capsule, designed to release minoxidil smoothly with a lower peak. MINX MINI, LITE and MAX are modeled from the same runs. In our check-ins, 39 of 40 patients who'd used minoxidil before (97.5%) said side effects on MINX were the same or better. Respondents received a discount for replying.

Wait someone found a counter example to the Jacobi conjecture? 🤯
hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final ((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3, has jacobian determinant -2, and sends (0, 0, -1/4), (1, -3/2, 13/2), and (-1, 3/2, 13/2) to (-1/4, 0, 0)

fragmented liquidity is the biggest limitation in crypto and 99% of you don't have any idea what that means

Rumor mill is right. As of now now every tokenized-stock venue wants your ID. This is a data privacy problem and a composability issue. That may be about to end. Our sources are telling us that the plan is a zero-knowledge KYC passport verified at the issuer level, then reusable across every tokenized securities venue. Your wallet carries a stamp proving you're cleared, without exposing your name, jurisdiction or ID. You can bridge, swap, and trade across all venues onchain without needing to KYC multiple times. Would be huge.

100% this, although I'd also say that ZK tech is potentially a silver bullet for a related problem: the tension between AML and privacy. The expansion and proliferation of KYC requirements isn't very effective, and is creating endless honeypots of data as more and more businesses are required to retain ever more intrusive data on their customers and clients.

🚨 LATEST: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce says zero-knowledge proofs could verify compliance without collecting users’ personal data. She warns current KYC/AML practices create “data haystacks.”
