A quick look at zero-knowledge proofs
NB: This isn’t about crypto. I don’t care about crypto.
Chris messaged me the other week asking
if I wanted to implement zero-knowledge proofs. I initially was not interested,
but then he said:
What if I told you there’s a version of them that has nothing to do with
