Thank you, Péter! You've left a huge mark on Ethereum - the fact we can praise it for having a continuous uptime of 10 years goes to your credit by a good chunk! 🙇‍♂️

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments about what you liked or disliked the most! Thank you to everyone who has already shared their feedback. 🙏

If you missed it, here's an aftermovie to show you what you missed: 😉

Three talks were recorded without sound - apologies to the speakers who missed the opportunity to share their presentations.
👉 Rehearse with the entire production team.

For the rest, you can find all recordings here:

👉 This is for everyone!

What I'm NOT proud of:
- We managed to convince only 100 hackers to join us
👉 Next year, the conference should be free for hackers
- Quality and cleanliness of the venue were subpar
👉 Improve the quality of the environment
- There was no free food due to a low budget

I'm also glad we attracted students and teachers from European universities such as @CVUT.cz, @blockchain.uzh.ch, @vut.cz, @TUM.de, and @vse.cz.

Next year, I'd like @ethprague.bsky.social‬ to offer even more opportunities for academics and students to discuss pure research!

Proud of Eniko and the @ducttape.events crew for bringing everything together under one roof, gathering ppl like:
- Joachim Schwerin & Ondrej Kovarik on policy
- Sustainability experts from @IKEM.de
- OGs like Nico Bacca & Jordi Baylina
- Brains like @sara-polak.bsky.social & Tomas Mikolov

Excited for this group therapy session 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qu...

Hats off to Jerome de Tychey, a long-standing, unsung champion of @ethereum. Not only did he kickstart one of the most significant gatherings in the space, @EthCC.io, but his team, @Cometh.io, is shipping like crazy!

Honored that @ETHGlobal.com hosted the hackathon in Prague, raising the bar for event quality in the CEE region for over 600 hackers!

I'm truly grateful to the entire team for all they do!

Thrilled to have witnessed Chris Fabian and Aya sharing their story and progress on the @Giga.Global project, and how @unicef.org‬

What am I proud of?
I'm thrilled and humbled that Sir @timbl.bsky.social engaged in a dialogue with @vitalik.ca to discuss how the Web and Ethereum have evolved and where these two technologies may overlap in principles and usage.

@Ethereum.org has much to learn from @w3.org

Ah :( rest well!

Imho it's closer to platforms which pay users for watching ads

The case of Google is, as you say, for Google to get the $

I rather meant creating a counter incentive, like:

Get a broswer extension which checks the content you visit:
Then if you open up a flat-earth video, an alternative is offered:
"watch this instead and get $1"

Ofc this isn't practical and the worst case is dystopian.

Actual I should dig a bit into the latest dopamine research once the time allows

Do you think behavioral incentives could counterweight the engagement factors?

It works on a high level - well educated people tend to earn more (oversimplification ofc).

Purely theoretical though:
If it was so, then we could quantify the cure - throw $100M on a table and 'flat-earthers' no mo'
