not getting shot in the face by a government thug after dropping your kid off at a school is a kitchen table issue, probably the most talked about issue at kitchen tables right now honestly

Fucking arrest the murderer.
I am aware of a shooting involving an ICE agent at 34th Street & Portland. The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities.

If open, modular, auditable protocols like neogrid define the standards, not just FIPS, then everyone from Robinhood to local creators can build secure, fair access tools for public benefit systems like daily UBI.

Fully Compliant: Neogrid meets FIPS 140-3 when `--fips-mode` is active.
Go-Friendly: Leverages Red Hat’s FIPS-validated Go for regulated components.
No Regressions: Internal DAG/zkDID still use modern crypto (Ed25519).

Cutting-Edge Defaults: Neogrid prioritizes Ed25519/X25519/SHA-3 for most operations.
FIPS Readiness: Flip `--fips-mode` to switch to ECDSA P-256/SHA-256 for compliance.
Zero Bloat: STROBE and other experimental features are compile-time optional.

Non-FIPS mode: Modern crypto (Ed25519, BLS).

If only FIPS-certified monoliths are allowed to touch federal deposits, then:

Implementing a VDF correctly is a highly specialized cryptographic task, and its security relies on mathematical conjectures that are not yet proven.
January 8, 2026 at 11:15 PM
VDF usage is scoped: its failure at worst re-orders some timestamps, not break signatures or logs.

Current VDF constructions, such as those based on groups of unknown order (like RSA groups), rely on widely accepted cryptographic assumptions that have held up against years of scrutiny, even if not "proven" in a pure mathematical sense. This is standard practice in applied cryptography.

You may also explore batching multiple policy updates through a ring-buffer + single VDF gate to reduce overhead.

The situation with VDFs is similar to much of modern cryptography, including the widely used RSA encryption system, whose security is based on the unproven conjecture that there is no efficient way to factor large numbers into primes.

Frontend uploads image → stored in MerkleLog/IPFS
Triggers compute on DAG node (e.g., image classifier WASM)
Result → signed and stored in DAG
Access → governed by SMT policy (e.g., only followers can see)
Audit logs → shown to user, cannot be tampered with
No AWS usage needed

The defense is broken down into several strong points, each backed by technical evidence:
Networking: We argue that Neogrid's use of Libp2p with zk-namespaced overlay nets provides stronger security guarantees than AWS VPC's logical segmentation by cryptographically enforcing every network hop.

Focus on implementing NIST-approved algorithms with large keys; the qubit count isn’t your problem.
