Monero is cool - the ring signature mechanism is something i’d never heard of before. Its a way to be possibly, but not provably, be involved in a transaction.

Monero is cool - the ring signature mechanism is something i’d never heard of before. Its a way to be possibly, but not provably, be involved in a transaction. Ie plausible deniability. At real-world crypto recently the zcash people (MIT and Tel Aviv cryptographers) found a way to massively speed up the process of finding your balance (privacy chains are often very slow because they have to sum up all the transactions you were potentially involved in). I also want to do a deep dive into light protocol - which is a privacy mechanism on top of solana, so transactions go at reasonable speed and you can use mainstream dapps (solana has the most amount of developers outside eth and is a lot faster and cheaper).
