Since you're big on privacy, do you see potential value in better user data systems created on distributed networks? Probably along these lines: https://ieeexp

- wmf 4y agoThere's a lot of cool privacy stuff you can do with zero-knowledge tech (not necessarily blockchain) but the biggest problem is that companies can just... not adopt that tech because they'd make less money.
- aryxns 4y agoi see. that's a game theory lens. while it probably makes sense for certain consumer data companies, do you think about cases where poor data security/privacy actually harms the company? eg: when sensitive company data gets leaked during third-party interactions?
- wmf 4y agoThen you get into the fact that the tech is really complex and slow so the cost doesn't offset the benefits.
- aryxns 4y agowell, bringing the cost down is probably just a matter of time, isn't it? what i think is more important is finding form factors of using zK that make sense to enterprises. from outgoing api calls to file sharing, the scope of vulnerabilities is extremely large.
- john_the_writer 4y agoI stopped believing in privacy when the Canadian Gov froze bitcoin of protesters. Regardless of my stance on the issue, it IMHO invalidated most of what bitcoin stood for (in my mind)
- tempera 4y agoBitcoin cannot be frozen by governments, if you control your private key. It's math.
