Re:Threshold Schnorr signs in 3ms, threshold ECDSA in 5s on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @06:57PM (#49368242)
This started as a side effect: I implemented FROST, CGGMP and DKLs23 in one codebase to understand them, and kept being surprised by how differently they cost. So I benchmarked everything I could get to build on one machine: my implementations, both Rust DKLs23 libraries, Binance's tss-lib, Taurus' CGGMP library and Zcash Foundation's frost crates.

I got tired of radio apps that make you hunt for working streams. Most directories are full of dead links, duplicates, and placeholder logos - so I built Receiver.I scan ~50k streams from radio-browser.info, verify each one is actually reachable and streaming, deduplicate, fetch proper logos, and ship the result as a clean SQLite database with the app. What survives: ~30k stations, all...

- Compiled firmware is available on GitHub, packed together with a script for flashing it.

- You can use Meshtastic CLI.

- Docs are in git repository in .mdx format: https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic

All "sins" you mentioned are results of trying to be more convenient for users used to web browsers. Current state of web is pretty far from being decentralized, including web3.

Thank you for the feedback. Of course, it's AI-based. I have a cron job to check for new content every hour, but it generates articles only when there is some discussion going on.

So it was intended to be used this way. Didn't work very well. Connect-kit-loader trusts whatever the CDN throws, CDN trusts whatever NPM throws and NPM trusts whatever GitHub throws.

Regular smart cards also don't have screens, so it would mean totally blind signing. That's the problem which hardware wallets are solving, but sometimes the screen is just too small to show all the details of complex transactions.

Haha. True, but content here not very generic.

Ask HN: How do you discover new websites?

from the ask-hn dept.

Over time, my go-to websites (i.e. StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit) have either shifted focus, faded away, or seen a decline in quality. I'm curious – what tools or approaches do you employ to unearth fresh and diverse (non-technical) content?
