  • How much is too much? How little is too litte? Too much of everything is just enough -Jerry Garcia As much as my dad loves the Grateful Dead, I'm skeptical we should listen to them... 🌶️ Sam's spicy take: PSE researchers currently have too much freedom on what they work on ...Ok, interesting "hot take", Sam... ...Not very surprising coming from "management"...

  • Discussusion items Intros PSEHistory & tranformation (explorations --> impact) Govts as users Problem spaces Notes Parts of ecosystem that are maturingTooling & infra Education Technology is out of the "uncanny valley" of usefulness. Now finally usableZCash took 90 seconds to send tx on desktop. Now we can prove things on our phones in ~1 second. It's reached the threshold of: "why put something in a ZK proof?" --> "why not?"". We're now at the "why not?" stage.

  • Greetings, anon! Thank you for your interest in testing our RPGF stack powered by MACI. What is this? For context on what we're building, please see this post. How can I test this app? We've deployed a testnet MACI-RPGF round (on Optimism Sepolia) which you can access here: https://maci-rpgf.vercel.app/

  • We should establish & document our approach to versioning for the MACI project. Here are my current thoughts, borrowing largely from @cedoor's outline for Semaphore. Input welcome! Please comment on this doc or in the corresponding GitHub issue. Code MACI code consists of three parts: Circom circuits, Solidity contracts and JS (TS) libraries. Circuits

  • Some quick (subjective) thoughts from Sam after checking out the website & contributing to the MACI ceremony… First off, awesome work to everyone who contributed! Contributing to the MACI ceremony was surpisingly easy :clap: Goal of this scratchpad is just to offer some suggestions & constructive feedback on how we might improve the website. Feel free to completely disregard if folks disagree :smile: Feedback Merge “p0tion” & “DefinitelySetup” names/brands?Was a bit confusing for me (having heard of p0tion) to see the site labeled as “DefinitelySetup” (”are they the same, are they different?”) I believe others on the MACI team (@ctrlc03, @Andy) have suggested that they could both be labeled as “p0tion”. It'd likely simplify things from the user’s standpoint & help with adoption to have it all under one name. Andy brought up the idea that we could ask for design help and try to build a strong brand here
