Had a really good conversation with Vitalik about Privacy Pools. I was embarrassed that I had failed to understand a couple of things in the paper but he was gracious about it.

Hm, I just realized something…

Recently, when I would talk to people about Zcash, I’d say something like “Every regulated USA exchange supports Zcash (except for FTX).”. Going forward, I guess I can just say “Every regulated USA exchange supports Zcash.”

@VitalikButerin Because your signal of loyalty to the in-group needs to be costly. So you visibly pay a cost by sacrificing your out-group credibility. Therefore, it needs to be stupid. Same reason religions require you to act as though you believe ridiculous superstitions.

Don't forget the part about being wrong about the Internet and Bitcoin too.

The Swiss National Bank (the central bank of Switzerland) invited me to give a keynote talk to a conference of European central banks and the USA central bank. I told them Zcashers consider nation-state currencies to be our best competitors: https://t.co/S9gzi461s1

If satoshi and Hal was still involved in Bitcoin, there would be no reason for existence of zcash, they will had implemented ZKP in Bitcoin at early days, I just spot a real cypherpunk, hey @zooko

Ever wondered how specifically ZK-SNARKs are used to preserve privacy, including some of the non-obvious tricks like how to prevent double-spending, and what the limits of ZK-SNARKs are?

This post tries to explain some of these ideas:

When people say they don't like something, but they can't stop talking about it, you know it's good. 😂

The facts are clear. According to Chainalysis, just 0.15% of ALL crypto transactions in 2021 were associated with some type of illicit activity. The UN estimates 2-5% of fiat (cash), worth $800B to $2T, was associated with some type of illicit activity. Let’s be real.

Zcash Network Upgrade 5 is live on mainnet. For my perspective on what this is and why it is historically important, see this thread: https://t.co/4wnZR5PXnE

#Zcash NU5 is happening!!!! Goodbye Trusted Setup!!! RIP

[zooko🛡🦓🦓🦓 ⓩ @zooko]

@ale_prioni @0xfoobar A very under-rated advantage that Zcash has is that it is *both* continuously evolving through self-funding, *and* decentralized. That means that other people who *do* want DeFi and NFTs all up in their decentralized money are currently adding it. Nobody needs to rely on me.

We originally wanted to drop this clip of @VitalikButerin leading up to our first video, but we ran out of time.

We share it now because it describes one of our shared motivations: using tech to help build a better world, not a worse one! Let's all keep building!

!!! so cool

⦿ How is Zcash now next level?

Don’t read any of those newspaper articles about Edward Snowden helping with the Zcash cryptographic ceremony. Watch this video: https://t.co/MzyhEhdx2e
