Hi, I'm shutting down @interfacedapp, it's been running in maintenance mode for the last half a year to free up some space and minimise the burn to survive and reflect what to do with it going forward, unfortunately I don't see a sustainable path forward. I'm extremely grateful to everyone who's been supportive of us during our, what I would call a decent overall run since 2022, we had our ups and downs, iterated on a lot of novel ideas, wrote a lot of code with our actual hands, grew a bit, even for a period were profitable, then became complacent, over compromised couple of times and in the end failed to scale, nevertheless I'm very grateful for the opportunity and experience. A sad day for me, but as the saying goes: "better late than never", it's time to close this chapter. Thank you everyone who became part of this journey, our early crowdfund supporters and friends who suggested to pursue this idea, our incredible team with whom we've shipped great product for it's time, for our investors, especially @polymorphiccap who were the first to believe in us in a middle of a dead market. I sure hope that Interface was a net positive, regardless of the end result one might rightly call – a failed experiment in consumer crypto – an experimented built on an idea what a social network could look like when it is built by combining together various blockspace primitives in a mutual aid manner, sadly many of these primitives are long gone, and now it is time for us to go too. Thank you! Yours wijuwiju.eth

Is my Ledger safe, or is there a spy implant in it? Detecting a spy implant without cracking your device open is possible. I'm working on a device to make it cheap and easy, and will publish the PCB and specs so anyone will be able to build it. https://youtu.be/0tLgcshzErI

We are aware that casts on Quorum are not successfully posting, nor replicating to the farcaster fork. We are currently diagnosing. So far, we have confirmed: the snapchain mempool topic, which our node previously was meshed with without issue, suddenly no longer can mesh with them. We have done typical diagnostics and procedures – we cannot get it to peer. We do not know yet if this is intentional from the NS side, but we are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. There is no indication of protocol incompatibility being the root cause, rather, some kind of configuration change, not on our part.

@thefaketomato we're trying to diagnose this, but what we're currently seeing is that casts sent to haatz (the endpoint quorum uses) are not getting accepted in the forwarding to snapchain. can't confirm yet, but it's acting as if they blocked our peer from forwarding messages. f…
