RT Riccardo Spagni (@fluffypony)ZCash is a VC / hedge fund backed centralised (bankster) coin that literally cripples itself to become compliant. It’s not a revenge against any of that, it’s a full on embrace of all of that.Does ZCash embrace the cypherpunk manifesto by Eric Hughes? Consider some key quotes, but I encourage you to read it all:“Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to atransaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessaryfor that transaction. Since any informa ...

privacy is about minimizing information leakagethere are a few properties around thisi) the actual cryptographyii) the anonymity setiii) the user behaviourthe state of the art when it comes to i) is ZK, this is not a debatea decoy system will use ring signatures which are designed to "confuse" but they do not actually encrypt the datazcash does not try to confuse a potential tracker, it makes the data secret so that it is invisible to begin withthis is basic math (and it's why monero wants to add FCMP++, ri ...

RT sacha 🦣 (@ssaintleger)my answer to why zcash can't be copied (even if you somehow manage to bootstrap a $1bn+ shielded pool and a mission driven group of world class cryptographers)"firstly, what you can't copy is the proof of work distribution over 10 years... with no premine, with no ICO, with 10 years of down only, with miners having to sell all the timesecondly, it's very difficult to get a social layer that has people that have lived through the cypherpunk era, in the 1980s in the 1990s, when they h ...

Efficiency Metrics in Cryptography - The industry suggests reporting cryptographic overhead as a ratio of in-cryptography computation time versus raw computation time [1] - This ratio provides a hardware-independent measure of efficiency loss when using cryptographic applications instead of trust-dependent ones [1] - Overhead factor aids developers in estimating cryptographic computation time based on their existing knowledge of raw computation time [1] Challenges in Overhead Measurement - Measuring overhead is complex due to heterogeneous operations in execution and proving, especially with SIMD/parallelization and memory access patterns [2] - Despite imperfections, the industry believes overhead factor remains a valuable metric [2]

"xmr is not on exchanges but zec is, therefore xmr is private" is the dumbest shit I've seenby this logic, HYPE is more "crypto" than BTC because it's not on as many exchangesso is retardcoin69000 btw, which is on 0 exchanges — likely the pinnacle of privacyprivacy comes down to i) technology + ii) behaviourfor tech, zk privacy > decoy privacy (ring signatures)determinism > probabilitiesthis is not an opinion, this is mathfor behaviour, any private system can be broken if the user is careless, in this case, ...
