@PIVX_AFRICA Cameras get smashed, ledgers don't. Everyone's happy to break a lens but nobody wants to give up the exchange app tracking every payment. Firo's the only part of this I actually control.
I mine Firo with a gaming gpu between matches and nobody at a mining farm can outspend me on hardware. imo that's the part of FiroPoW nobody talks about
Soft-forked Ethereum for Tornado Cash to work. deposit, wait, hope enough people are in the pool with you, withdraw and pray your timing doesn't fingerprint you.
@IOGroup@IOHK_Charles@SALTConference Agents transacting all day on a transparent chain leak every strategy to anyone watching. Privacy and auditability aren't opposites though, Firo's view keys let you open the books to an auditor and nobody else.
Tried explaining Zcash to a friend last week and got stuck on the ceremony part. six people in a room in 2016, each one burning their piece of a secret key, and you have to believe every single one of them actually did it. he asked what happens if one of them kept it.
Kept my own keys for years and thought that was the whole answer. Then Celsius went down and I watched people on Twitter post their withdrawal addresses as proof they got out early.
@TrueMillionz Curtains came with the house though. Crypto sells you glass walls and treats blinds like a premium add-on, which is how I ended up holding Firo.
@KGeNazeemali12@BeldexCoin You can switch browsers tomorrow. Can't switch a ledger that already logged you, so payments were the first thing I moved over to Firo.
Every uniswap trade I make sits in the mempool as a public advertisement. Amount, direction, slippage. Bots read it and get paid $500M a year to jump in front of me. Nobody frontruns what they can't see. Spark hides the amount and the address, so there's nothing to sandwich.
@ZKHubai Weird that being measurable counts as a premium. The curve only exists because shielding was optional, and it doubles as a public list of everyone who skipped it. Firo doesn't produce that number.
@ETNnigeria A pile of everyone's passport scans is a honeypot, not trust. Set up Campfire Wallet with 12 words and no email and I'm still a real human.
