currently building something on starknet | having fun with AI | co-founder zkrollups.xyz & numio
Publications
- It’s time to own our conversations. Ping me on Converse : https://getconverse.app/dm/kitey.eth
- Explaining zero-knowledge proofs with baking
Baker: "I have created a recipe for amazing chocolate chip cookies" 👨🍳
Guests: "prove it, show us the recipe"
Baker: "I'm not giving away my recipe"
... hands out freshly baked cookies to guests. They eat the cookies 🍪
Guests: "you're right, your cookie recipe is amazing" 🤤
- The Shapella upgrade is later today 🚨
Update any Ethereum validator nodes you are running if you haven't yet
Also update the system OS for added stability and security (something you should do periodically anyway)
- Made a very basic, noise free website explaining #Crypto terms in a less technical way, complete with TL:DRs and an ELI5 setting
https://www.cryptojargon.xyz
It's incomplete, hasn't been reviewed in any detail, and needs work with definitions but it was mostly a bit of fun that people might find useful
I'll work on it when I have time - suggestions/updates/PRs are welcome
- Just used the LCR app I built with AI to stop an argument between the kids about going to the beach or the park today - beach won ⛱️
https://lcr-lac.vercel.app/
They are now arguing about luck 😅
- A post I wrote on zkRollups back in January 2021
How times have changed

- Playing with ChatGPT and asked it to fill in the colours in an svg of the outline of the Ethereum logo
I quite like the results
- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [March 2023 update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 *updated* - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point.
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: inlens.xyz/ (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.)
(3) probably you read this post on @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens (iOS only) are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(4) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably *forever*. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lenster.lens ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens.

- Day 2 of 30 days in a row posting on Lens:
What's your favourite NFT in the starknet ecosystem and why? I'm looking to buy...
- why am I polite in my AI prompts?!
because it's not worth the risk if I encounter a cyborg assassin from the future
anyway it's nice to be polite
- zkPills... an experiment in AI written, on-chain, generative NFTs with random colours, letter, and number on #zkSyncEra (it hits all the buzzwords)
It’s a free mint
Mint from contract - https://explorer.zksync.io/address/0x93F2355e2DDe464380bbA4bC75Dd477363C5d1cE#contract
To view - https://mintsquare.io/collection/zksync/0x93f2355e2dde464380bba4bc75dd477363c5d1ce
Background: We've been playing with creating on-chain NFTs with #ChatGPT We asked it to code the svg for a pill, & write the contract to mint each one with unique random colours, letter, and 3 digit number
Notes:
There is currently no front end - you have to mint from the contract
Total supply is 1990. Max 3 pills per wallet
No audit - might be bugs/exploits
No roadmap. No promises.
