This article was a lot of work but it was a pleasure to go deep on ZKP, FHE and MPC and understand which applications fit each of them On-chain privacy will be a thing despite the government hate for crypto and privacy :) https://medium.com/alliancedao/zkps-fhe-mpc-managing-private-state-in-blockchains-17cc3661007d

Even Wechat doesn’t do everything. Especially if you’re a foreigner, you can’t link a non-Chinese bank (as of my last CN trip Sep 2023)

Yes, inefficient. But payment methods are network effects. Very hard to displace. If I had to approach, would try to find companies / people who have acute pain points, cf. https://danromero.org/significantly-worse-or-non-existent.html

What will be the future of non-SSO passwordless authentication? Currently I can think of a few: - SMS OTP authentication - TOTP/HOTP Authenticator - Email OTP or Magic link - WebAuthn/Keychain - OAuth 2.0 - Sign in with Ethereum/crypto wallet - Login using passcode/FaceID (mobile app-specific only) Any others?

Highly recommend the Acquired episode on VISA: https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/visa It goes into great detail tech and business-wise, probably one of the most extensive explanations of how the modern payment/transaction settlement industry came to be.

Stripe making payment processing fast and reducing costs to 2.9% -> Great Innovation Crypto making payment processing 50X faster and reducing costs to 0-0.1% -> Not important use case with little impact on GDP

@alliancedao applications closed yesterday. Record # of applications. Record # of interview invitations. Almost certainly record # of teams admitted. Crypto is BACK. LFG.
