That's literally not what Zooko said.
> I think we can successfully make Zcash too traceable for criminals like WannaCry, but still completely private & fungible.
At the very least it'd be interesting to see what exactly he meant by that. He's got enough crypto and pro-privacy cred to be worth a listen.
- john_alan 6y agoYes I linked to the tweet when I wrote the comment. I paraphrased his babel in my comment for brevity. > I think we can successfully make Zcash too traceable for criminals a bit like: "I think we can make this encryption algorithm too weak for criminals, but strong enough for everyone else" > He's got enough crypto and pro-privacy cred to be worth a listen. Not from what I understand.

- austhrow743 6y agoWell apparently he thinks the laws of mathematics change based on your criminality status, for one.

- huhtenberg 6y agoThat'd be the trivial knee-jerk interpretation. Look up Zooko, his past work and background. See if you still think he doesn't know how "the laws of mathematics" work. It's also why I said it'd be genuinely interesting to him elaborate on that statement.
- gtrhtrhtrhtr 6y agoUnfortunately you're not thinking about regulations, which Zcash has to think about every day.
- john_alan 6y agoZcash is no more compatible with “regulations” than any other cryptocurrency
