Indeed, for any particular outcome you could design a custom protocol. In contrast, Radius gives you a generic execution environment. Going custom you lose EVM tooling, audited standard contracts, and every bespoke protocol needs its own se

eCash is an answer to "can you move value privately?" (yes, with concessions). Radius is solving "can you execute a million conditional state transitions per second at sub-penny costs?" Blind signatures are still just va

Yes, it works the same way even for content Google indexed at publication time. For example, here are chatgpt.com links that Google displays as being from 2010-2020, a period when Google existed but ChatGPT did not: https://www.g

That's a very good question. It all depends on how you pick the witness b: there is a procedure that definitely is not zero-knowledge: say, if prover uses his knowledge of factorization to construct an explicit b that betrays that fa

Of course, but the choice is standard and thus the answer is 9. I can define a non-standard sqrt(x) which sometimes gives the positive root and sometimes the negative one, and then sqrt(sqrt(16)) could be -2 or undefined (if I defined sqr

There is no choice here - each inverse is uniquely determined. That's similar to how 3 and -3 are both square roots of 9 (i.e., solutions to x^2=9), but sqrt(9)=3 as it denotes the principal square root, which by convention is always t

By the way, you can also construct heap in linear time - instead of doing n consecutive insertions, at least half of which require log n work, you can apply sift-down operations from bottom up, beginning with the last non-leaf node and work
