## Unsent Tweet on t/acc & flashbots_x
edit 2/25/25: i have delegated the flashbots_x account to @socrates1024 and other @flashbots_x crew, soon to be fully encumbered.

a winning era for crypto may have rebooted, yet can we get ourselves together to co-build something that transcends cycles for our species as we evolve with our technology?
looking around our space, so much fragmentation... everyone is spinning in circles building the same damn things, unmaintained repos, unfinished ghost networks, most never making it past the first 2 milestones on some fancy landing page they shilled in conferences. for ego stroking tweet threads, for 5min of fame at conferences, for first author and citations they have crossed people who could have helped them down the road achieving their vision. instead of helping each other to liberate our ideas we are sucked into the abyss of enslaving ourselves, from insecurities thats deeply human yet we are too busy shouting to the void to introspect the why. we can do better.
attribute, recognize, appreciate, celebrate, tip each other with market value. merge our mind collective hiveminds and co-build something together that's actually cool and useful and interesting, that it's not a dystopia but inspire what humans want.
erase Coasian boundaries, starting from erasing the shackles we hang on to, that had lead us down the path of endless shilling logos that are nothing more than visually instantiated symbols for inflated egos?
the tainted word daos have had their fair shares of predicatbly dystopic outcomes, just like most social experiments. the problems of collective decision making find their roots in what fundamentally make us human, something happiness researchers and governance researchers alike spent decades seeking answers and yet something that may never be understood with technology alone as they are inherently subjective and fleeting feelings are secrets often to our own conscious minds.
t/acc is yet another initiative to accelerate TEE ecosystem R&D. TEE is an old new tech, can we do better in bringing people together while we accelerate? can we build and dogfood the dark magic to cast a spell onto the noisy world, co-build the credible commitment black box that can enable those with rightfully justified differences in intentions and unaligned visions to collaborate share what's needed without fearing taken advantage of?
starting today, start with the state of art best practices in oss attribution for where contributors can be from different projects, teams, tribes. defend the right to open innovation, fight the walled garden silos with anti-patent alliances, fight the noisy social ads algo by encumbering our accounts and lending your voice to those who need to be heard, fight the grifting culture by establishing the foundation of attribution and the norm for retroactive "tips" (on top of prospective "base" to incentivize commitment to innovation).
personally, I created @flashbots_x that's meant to share, attribute, recognize, appreciate, celebrate, and eventually tip those who contribute to the moonshots towards searching for and preservation of the commons for humanity.
I will start by encumbering @flashbots_x account via teleport.best built on dstack instantiation of the TEE stack yet to be defined, dog-fooding flashbots_x projects that can create greater impact with more open source contribution. without setting up yet another symposium consortium alliance dao foundation we can start sharing our values via sharing tweets, built on each others tech stack from sharing GitHub repos, sharing knowledge by sharing wikis, sharing wealth (tips) by sharing work (order flow). how do we dogfood our own mechanisms to defend the crowd sourcing of the edges of our collective dependency graph from getting co-opted into shilling networks of useless complexity with $token $stock $brand lock in like we fight for election voting integrity?
millions of robots live for a millisecond to make the market turning complete, who will be the last humans standing? everyone can be a flashbot for a moment, anyone can manifest a flashmob moment, for an idea worth sharing, for a cause they believe in.
(sorry to disappoint, this is not a flashbots "official" acct as flashbots is the unbranded collective, we are inherently plural and we reject corporatification of our voices.)
