I've got DTV visa through my Wyoming company.


Dude, I did the same...Will be in bangkok in december. Let's hang out.


Awesome! Drop me a message when you're here, let's get coffee! All my info is at https://martinrue.com. Safe travels!


I think you also need to exchange some metadata like screen resolution etc, right ?


Currently resolution is hardcoded, but sure, can be done. Also need to figure out things like changing language/keyboard layout or using IME, to be able to type text properly. Sending mouse cursor picture from server to client may be nice too, in case a game uses hardware cursor and changes it's appearance, like some RTS games - currently mouse cursor is just being baked into video frames. Many possible improvements!


Can you explain a little bit more about deriving Bitcoin signature by using a google token ?


Sure! it uses the NEAR blockchain to get a chain signature based on the email address extracted from the token. The email is extracted from the unsigned token message that is sent to the smart contract along with a zero knowledge proof of the signature. The smart contract verifies the proof and then signs the user's payload using the email address and aud in the derivation path in the call to NEAR chain signatures.

Here is an example execution plan of getting the signature on NEAR: https://testnet.nearblocks.io/txns/FzzzN1f3auTTM8yvxZpy8YdQm...

More documentation on chain signatures: https://docs.near.org/concepts/abstraction/chain-signatures#...

Smart contract source code: https://github.com/esaminu/google-chain-signatures


That means Google can claim control of any email address, yeah?


At this stage yes but I'll be adding the ability to add a public key to your account on the smart contract and also deauthorize the proofs if you want complete custody. We can make the journey to full custody more gradual to improve UX.


that's rare.


Decentralised but very high entry barrier.


Does anyone have insights on how to license ARM chips after a hobby project reaches maturity?


You don't generally need to license Arm chips unless you are designing your own chips for sale, like STM32 or Raspberry Pi do. This is something very few companies do, relative to those who just build things from existing chips.

If you're just building something with an existing Arm microcontrollers. The vendor (Like STMicro) has already licensed the Arm design and sold it to you.


You just buy the microcontrollers and put them on your custom PCB.

The devkits aren’t suitable for resale but there’s no additional licence when you buy an ARM micro from pretty much any manufacturer.


Nothing is free in this world.
