got nerd sniped by zk stuff, but really feel like im only scratching the surface. there's so much to learn. why isn't zk a bigger deal? Seems like this subcategory of crypto has the brightest talent + will be most important long term (post-ai domination).

Helping build @midao. Probably on the water if I’m not thinking about crypto. /eagles /betting /off-grid

tornado cash and semaphore were cool 

besides that it’s a thing that folks nerd out for that an end user should frankly never think or care about except for the tagline, onchain privacy 

unfortunately the tail wagged the do and most folks got nerdsniped it’ll have its day in the sun

Succinct and opacity look really cool. Same with what @july is building with attested images.

I don’t think users care now, but in 5 years it may be obvious. Similar to Farcaster and decentralized social.

I think people should simply build good products and it’s a cherry on top that users appreciate specific things like that;

for example with today’s Twitter ban of a bunch of KOLs, Shaw makes magic, alon et al 

Re: decentralization

when you think about truly reaching a billion+ people, consider if something goes wrong w ur grandmas crypto wallet, are you going to ask her to call vitalik?

it’s important for some but you shouldn’t use something for simply for the sake of it having XYZ feature, folks should want to use it then realize/appreciate it has XYZ feature

My 2 cents anyways

Good point. How do you think about Farcaster then and decentralized social? 

Feel like it’s similar, no one cares about decentralization imo.

no I think the problem is:

people thinking users should care when people need to be realizing that users assume it’s baked in
