I agree with you on some level - blockchains have an financial information leakage problem that needs to be addressed. But the difference with legacy systems is not on the government level - you don't have ANY financial privacy from yo

Both of them are crypto in original meaning of the word. The difference - UX of wallet-based solutions is infinitely better that UX of browser-handled user certs.

Can you really delete anything from NSA servers? Or from Internet in general? For me the problem with IPFS is - it is just not interesting enough. It's not a storage solution, it is distribution and caching mechanism. You can't re

Miners have some power in PoW chains. If a chain wants to move to PoS, miners have zero power. Ethereum's "The Merge" plan is a great example. EIP-1559 was meant to reduce miners' profits, and miners was not happy about

You are wrong in a subtle way. Yes, if you are doing scaling, than adding hiding using zk is almost free. Problem is - you are hiding things from literally everyone. And while it works for payment systems like zcash, it is a problem for mos

Mercedes is a car for aging rich liberal men and women. There are tons of cars with way more masculine, aggressive vibe to them. BMW and Audi, for instance, have took over this market in EU - nobody is buying Mercedes anymore. People percei

So, video presents following vehicles next to each other: luxury sport-sedan, some lambo-styled ultra-car, quarter-mile redneck classic, Tron-inspired super bike, drag-racer(!) and Formula One car. This is a clear fantasy. Are you mistaking

> As far as I can tell cryptocurrency's value comes from how much it costs to mine the currency This is wrong. Multiple currencies use proof-of-stake and still have value. Price is determined by demand and supply.

> I'm much more comfortable with someone having a hash based on my biometric data than having my passport and other details. Same here. My point is - fair distribution is just a means to achieve a goal of "more equality".

See my original post. It's pretty clear that process of initial distribution of tokens is not open. Volunteers are likely contributing lots of private data to the company to get their hands on orbs.

It can be done in following way. Orb can have a baked-in private key (on hardware level). Public keys are stored in the blockchain. Each hash is signed by the private key stored in the orb.

Some projects avoid upgrading contracts at all. They deploy a new version, create a new UI and point this new UI to new contracts. Uniswap V2 vs Uniswap V3. This way users are actively opting into new set of contracts.
