The man himself! Looking forward to it. I have a vague idea from your descriptions in the Keeta Discord, but it probably won’t fully click until I see it in use.

Yep, clients are pretty heavy. There's actually a "publish aid" function where a proxy can contact the representatives for clients. I think these will be heavily used as more and more reps join and as clients get implemented in more constrained environments like mobile data.

Keeta is a new high-throughput payments blockchain. Its origins trace back to Nano, the feeless DAG DLT, and Facebook's FastPay, but it has plenty of novel contributions which warrant a formal look.

Here I present a formal Quint specification for its consensus protocol, model-checked under a Byzantine fault model. Safety was found to be preserved within the fault-bounds and under a constant weight model, and the possibility of FastPay style lockouts was reproduced as expected.

The direction for future research depends on the direction Keeta takes; checkpoints and epochs (similar to Sui) are the features to watch there.

Google’s security key can already support 250 resident keys. I’m not sure how secure it is compared to Yubikeys, but it can’t be that far behind.

Thank you EU for regulating roaming! I remember being afraid to turn on data because the law was so new. At the end of the month the bill came and I was relieved to see 0€ extra for 7GB of traffic.

No, travelling by rail is sustainable. It’s a really good option for continental travel under 1000km.
