- @pcaversaccio: Ledger drops backwards compatibility
A tweet by @pcaversaccio criticizes Ledger for dropping backwards compatibility, which the author says effectively forces users to buy a new device and re-enter their seed phrase. The author says many users rely on the Ledger Nano S and that new features are being withheld from it for business reasons. The post links to Ledger's developer news page.

- @pcaversaccio: Windows Notepad's Copilot integration risks leaking credentials
pcaversaccio warns that Windows Notepad's Copilot integration risks leaking sensitive data from plaintext files, because opening a .txt file could send its contents to Microsoft's servers. Microsoft claims this happens only when Copilot features are actively used, a claim pcaversaccio says users shouldn't trust. Many people store passwords and 2FA backup codes in .txt files, which 2FA providers themselves often offer as downloads. pcaversaccio recommends disabling the feature or Copilot system-wide, and using an app such as Notepad++, which is described as local and not phoning home.

- @pcaversaccio: most people designing the Ethereum protocol don't use Ethereum th
A tweet by @pcaversaccio argues that the main problem with Ethereum protocol design is that most of the people designing it do not use Ethereum themselves. The post contends that designers without personal dependence on the system, and without financial exposure when it breaks, cannot identify the right things to fix. It describes such designers as operating from an "ivory tower" and "playing god" with a system whose consequences they do not have to bear.

- @pcaversaccio: Crypto VCs like a16z and Paradigm fund grifters, not builders
Pcaversaccio argues that crypto venture firms such as a16z and Paradigm fund grifters and shallow gimmicks rather than builders, and that their priority is capital deployment and optics rather than conviction. The post cites Blast, which it calls a ponzi-like scheme backed by Paradigm, as an example. It also contrasts the over $100m Blast reportedly raised with Roman needing to justify each cent he spends on his defence, though the post does not explain that case further.
- @pcaversaccio: crypto security is a total disaster right now
Pcaversaccio says that crypto security is in poor shape, with about 95% of last month's SEAL 911 tickets repeating the same few scams and mistakes. The cases cited include victims running code from random GitHub repos, scammers walking users through self-compromise on Zoom or Google Meet calls, teams hit by North Korean job applicants posing as developers, and fake Coinbase support calls (Coinbase in about 90% of cases, Ledger for the rest). The post also lists people mishandling private keys and seed phrases, devices being compromised daily, and developers committing .env files with private keys to GitHub or NPM. The author concludes the ecosystem is far from being considered secure.

- @pcaversaccio shares secure Tornado Cash IPFS interface hashes
@pcaversaccio shares five IPFS content hashes that the post describes as secure, uncompromised ways to access the Tornado Cash interface. The post says the hashes are offered for people who want to exercise their privacy rights. It lists the five hashes without further explanation of how they were verified.
- @pcaversaccio: ethereum needs simplicity over complexity in web3
pcaversaccio argues that Ethereum should be the one chain people use, prioritizing simplicity over the current fragmentation. Over 50 rollups and layers that take days to bridge back are described as unnecessary complexity. The post also cites the hassle of switching networks in MetaMask and manually adding tokens on other chains when contract addresses differ. The stated goal is for people to transfer value simply and directly.
