A few upcoming upgrades on 40acres 🌾 • No more epochs: rewards will show as a 7 day rolling average • Rewards will be claimed 3-4 times a week automatically • Smarter auto voting: bolder for small positions, better spread for large ones And stay tuned for much more.

It's far easier to coordinate and align incentives around discrete functionality rather than fuzzy governance proposals. Along these lines, version 2 of @KlimaProtocol did exactly that: make carbon pricing and capacity discrete functions in the protocol governance
my thoughts on the zcash governance situation.

Here's how it works: When you allocate kVCM tokens to a carbon class, you increase the price-per-tonne for both buyers and suppliers of that class. Allocating K2 to carbon classes narrows the spread for that class, making it easier to trade. klimalabs.com/carbon-class-p… app.klimaprotocol.com/alloca…

mozilla's marketing budget vs firefox market share, 2010 → 2026 2010: $10M on marketing, 30% share
2024: $86M on marketing, 2.8% share almost 9x the spend for a tenth of the users. since 2021 marketing nearly tripled and share kept sliding. if the trend holds they're spending ~$120M this year to stay at 2.6%. the dashed bars are my extrapolation, mozilla hasn't reported 2025–26 yet. but the trend doesn't leave much room for optimism. you can't buy your way back to 2008 with meme cameos.

It always comes back to coordination
the time and effort needed to build consensus for changes to the Ethereum protocol may eventually become a bigger bottleneck than actually developing and implementing new features in the software

Inspired by @banteg I've been decompiling Toy Commander. It's been invigorating and enlightening to see how AI agents reverse engineer and how the original devs built one of my childhood favorites.

Replies here are not aware of the Black Swamp
This is a fun geographical oddity: Chautauqua Lake, despite being just 8 miles from the shores of Lake Erie, is not in the Lake Erie Watershed. It's in the Ohio River Watershed via the Allegheny River and empties into the Gulf of Mexico, 1,000 miles away.
