How anyone can read that text and not see that they are being burried under piles of bullshit, is beyond me.

- mhluongo 4y agoPLONK and friends are interesting cryptography. What makes you call this bullshit, exactly?
- Arathorn 4y agoDavid knows his stuff; this isn't BS. Having a way to program arbitrary zero knowledge proofs sounds v. useful.
- ffhhj 4y agotl;dr: they optimized their libraries, and they want you to believe it without actual proof, which wraps the concept of zero proof on itself. > Pickles now uses an upgraded proof system: Kimchi. Kimchi brings several optimizations and quality-of-life improvements to circuit builders. This should allow for faster provers, larger circuits, and potentially shorter proof sizes!

- roenxi 4y agoAlthough I think this comment is a little too negative, it is quite difficult to tell that this article isn't some sort of joke until about half way through. The entire introduction is boxes-in-boxes labelled with condiments that could easily be a hilarious parody. I was trying to figure out if I was being hoaxed until around the arithmetic circuits - where at least the notation gets interesting. I'm still not sure.
