✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode: https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-crypto-wars-20  As the dust settles with Tornado Cash's sanctioning news and the arrest of Alexey Pertsev, the space is drawing parallels to the early days of crypto, Crypto Wars 1.0. We brought on OG cypherpunk privacy developer and co-founder of Zcash, Zooko to talk about Crypto Wars 2.0. Crypto privacy is being tested in new ways and Zooko couldn't be in a better place to explain the current complexities. What's the case for crypto privacy? Why is it such a tough problem to solve? Why is Zooko optimistic about the future of crypto privacy? What are your thoughts on crypto privacy? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter @banklesshq ------

This week on The Defiant podcast we speak to Zooko, the founder of Zcash. Privacy remains one of the hottest issues in crypto after the U.S. Treasury's recent move to sanction Tornado Cash. Zooko believes the ability to consent to what information is made public is more about freedom than privacy and he thinks that eventually, this will be expected in the blockchain space. We explore what a private transaction using ZEC actually looks like, with shielded addresses visible only to the sender and receiver. Finally, Zooko talks about The Electric Coin Company's future plans, which include moving Zcash from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake and a standalone wallet.

This is Eric Golden, and today I'm covering Ethereum Name Service, also known as ENS. In non-technical terms, a naming service allows you to map human-readable words to computer-based numbers. Listeners are likely familiar with Domain Name Services, DNS, which translates a website name such as joincolossus.com into an Internet Protocol address. ENS is similar, but instead of mapping to an IP address, domains are mapped to Ethereum addresses. When I bought my ENS address, I assumed the use case was to rename my wallet and make it easier than memorizing a bunch of random numbers. But as you will hear on this episode, the use case goes well beyond naming a wallet.    To cover this wide-ranging topic, we called on a wide-ranging guest, Brantly Millegan, or better known as Brently.eth. We walk through the ENS backstory, why it seems to be winning over other blockchain-based naming services, and what the future may hold for ENS. There are some really interesting strategic points in this episode that listeners will appreciate. Please enjoy the conversation.  For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page here.   -----   This episode is brought to you by Coinbase Prime.

In this week's episode, Anna explores the state of trusted setups with 4 of the people who have recently coordinated and run trusted setups for different SNARK systems. She interviews Koh Wei Jie (https://kohweijie.com/) from the Ethereum Foundation (https://twitter.com/ethereum), Thomas Walton-Pocock (https://twitter.com/trpocock) from Aztec Protocol (https://twitter.com/aztecprotocol), Brecht Devos (https://twitter.com/Brechtpd) from Loopring (https://twitter.com/loopringorg) and Kobi Gurkan (https://kobi.one/) from the EF and cLabs (https://celo.org/). This episode covers the new generation of trusted setups and how the teams working on these are learning from each other and at times, even sharing parts of the trusted set up itself. As a primer, Trusted Setups are those events or ceremonies that one needs to perform to generate the parameters that can kick off SNARK based systems. It is an MPC - or multiparty computation - that involves a number of participants sequentially downloading software, running a computation that includes some randomness that they generate and re-uploading their result to be folded into the next participants computation. At the end of this process, there is a hidden parameter that is used to create the keys that are used to create proofs for private transactions, and to verify those proofs. These keys prove that a transaction is correct. Here are some helpful links about all the various trusted setups we mention: Zcash's Trusted Setups https://www.zeroknowledge.fm/50 - Zooko speaks about the trusted set up at timecode 17:45 https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/ceremony https://z.cash/technology/paramgen/ EF's Perpetual Powers of Tau https://github.com/weijiekoh/perpetualpowersoftau Semaphore Semaphore blog post (https://medium.com/@weijiek/release-announcement-semaphore-a-zero-knowledge-gadget-for-ethereum-5b671cd360d4) Semaphore Phase 2 Multi-Party Trusted Setup Participant Guide (https://hackmd.io/oja21FipQ5KhQcXeyuQWFQ) MACI (upcoming) https://github.com/appliedzkp/maci Aztec Protocol https://www.aztecprotocol.com/ignition/ https://ignition.aztecprotocol.com/ Loopring https://loopring.org/#/post/loopring-starts-trusted-setup-multi-party-computation-ceremony Tornado Cash https://medium.com/@tornado.cash/the-biggest-trusted-setup-ceremony-in-the-world-3c6ab9c8fffa https://ceremony.tornado.cash/ cLabs (upcoming) https://github.com/celo-org/snark-setup Check out the Zero Knowledge Youtube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYWsYz5cKw4wZ9Mpe4kuM_g?view_as=subscriber) and be sure to subscribe to get the latest videos from the Podcast, zkSummit and zkStudyClub!

Interview location: SkypeInterview date: Tuesday 22nd Jan, 2019Company: ZcashRole: Founder and CEOOne of the significant failings of Digicash, the David Chaum pre-Bitcoin digital currency was centralisation. Decentralisation has become one of the core components of what has made Bitcoin work and a success; shutting it down is only possible under extreme circumstances and no single person can exert control over its future direction.How decentralised a cryptocurrency is often a measure of its strength or weakness. Maximalists often challenge Zcash as being centralised, and some refer to it as the corporate privacy coin but how much of a risk is this to the future of the currency?I sat down with the Zcash Founder and CEO, Zooko Wilcox to discuss the intrinsic link between Zcash the company and Zcash the protocol, what risks this presents and how the bear market has affected operations. We also look into Zooko’s past working on Digicash, his discovery of Bitcoin and user adoption in crypto.-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

(setq org-default-priority ?D) (setq org-lowest-priority ?D) ;; Custom agenda dispatch commands which allow you to look at ;; priorities while still being able to see when deadlines, appointments ;; are coming up. Very often you'll just be looking at the A or B tasks, ;; and when you clear off enough of those or have some time you might ;; look also at the C tasks ;; ;; Hit "C-c a" then one of the following key sequences... ;; - a for the A priority items, plus the agenda below it ;; - b for A-B priority items, plus the agenda below it ;; - c for A-C priority items, plus the agenda below it ;; - A for just the agenda ;; - t for just the A-C priority TODOs (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("a" "Agenda plus A items" ((tags-todo "+PRIORITY="A"" ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down)))) (agenda ""))) ("b" "Agenda plus A+B items" ((tags-todo "+PRIORITY="A"|+PRIORITY="B"" ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down)))) (agenda ""))) ("c" "Agenda plus A+B+C items" ((tags-todo "+PRIORITY="A"|+PRIORITY="B"|+PRIORITY="C"" ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down)))) (agenda ""))) ("A" "Agenda" ((agenda ""))) ("t" "Just TODO items" ((tags-todo "+PRIORITY="A"|+PRIORITY="B"|+PRIORITY="C"" ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down))))))))

In this special 50th episode, we invite our friend Zooko to the podcast to chat about his background and explore the history of Zerocoin and Zcash. We dig into the inner workings of Zcash, the trusted setup, the sapling upgrade, and what the future of the project might look like! The Sapling upgrade promises to reduce the proving times of the zk-SNARKs from 37 seconds to 2.3 seconds by replacing the SHA256 hash function with an improved performance Pedersen hash function called Bowe-Hopwood Pedersen, introducing an updated eliptic curve (Groth16/BLS12-381), moving from Libsnark to Bellman, and using a new split circuit design. We dig deep on this and into what the UTXO model actually is to help us better understand the changes being introduced with Sapling. Hope you enjoy coming on this journey with us!

David Vorick, CEO of Nebulous, which operates Siacoin and a new subsidiary, Obelisk, describes what he's discovered in his exploration of the mining industry, including why he's decided that specialized chips like ASICs are preferable to generalized chips like GPUs, even if they tend to bring out mining centralization. He also describes Obelisk's new service, Launchpad,which secures exclusive deals to create a custom proof-of-work algorithm for a coin and also the mining equipment for it, in exchange for being the only miner on the market at launch or for a period. He explains why he thinks proof of work is the only really viable type of consensus algorithm and doesn't even see any other potentially workable ones on the horizon. Plus, he has some sharp criticisms of Bitmain and claims that several groups were secretly mining Monero, though he can't reveal how he knows.   David Vorick: https://twitter.com/DavidVorick https://medium.com/@davidvorick Siacoin: http://sia.tech Blog.sia.tech Obelisk: https://obelisk.tech Blog.obelisk.tech David on why Siacoin chose ASICs: https://medium.com/obelisk-blog/choosing-asics-for-sia-4b11695df051 David's long post about the state of cryptocurrency mining: https://blog.sia.tech/the-state-of-cryptocurrency-mining-538004a37f9b Announcement about Obelisk: https://medium.com/obelisk-blog/introducing-obelisk-launchpad-b78756eaa74c Zooko's recap of his conversation with Jihan Wu, CEO of Bitmain: https://forum.z.cash/t/so-i-had-a-videochat-with-jihan-wu/29379 Bitmain's tweets being transparent (account currently disabled): https://twitter.com/BITMAINtech/status/1001376036985028608 Bitmain's blog post about being transparent: https://blog.bitmain.com/en/antiminer-z9-mini-shipments-experiment-radical-transparency/ Thank you to our sponsors!

Very interesting and broad discussion on the various social and economic implications of privacy. Zooko explores the numerous reasons for privacy coins, where Bitcoin has taken us with its success, how he hopes Zcash can take us further, why it's needed, and how privacy coins can effect society. We explore some straw men (dark markets) in terms of their analog comparisons today. We discuss other use-cases for privacy coins. We discuss some facets of the Zcash team and protocol, including some of the reasoning behind establishing a company to launch the currency. He notes the importance of security audits. He addresses the open questions on improving Bitcoin versus improving other coins (such as with privacy upgrades). Zooko concludes with some reflections on DigiCash, as well as some lessons on the importance of not resting on laurels in building this technology for the future.

Zooko Wilcox, the founder and CEO of the Zcash company, explains why he wanted to create the privacy coin Zcash, why he believes privacy is essential to decentralization, and how encryption is the way censorship-resistance can be created on a technical level. We talk about the revelation that the NSA was targeting Bitcoin users by gathering details on their devices and how even Zcash users could be targeted the same way, but why Zooko believes most people are more concerned about other threats. We also delve into the Facebook/Cambridge Analytics news and why people don't see to care about privacy and why so few people choose to transact privately in Zcash.

Zooko Wilcox, the founder and CEO of the Zcash company, explains why he wanted to create the privacy coin Zcash, why he believes privacy is essential to decentralization, and how encryption is the way censorship-resistance can be created on a technical level. We talk about the revelation that the NSA was targeting Bitcoin users by gathering details on their devices and how even Zcash users could be targeted the same way, but why Zooko believes most people are more concerned about other threats. We also delve into the Facebook/Cambridge Analytics news and why people don't see to care about privacy and why so few people choose to transact privately in Zcash. He also describes he would feel if he knew that criminals were using Zcash for horrible crimes.

This episode was recorded 2016-12-29 in Hamburg. We had a short chat with Ryan Taylor (@AdjyLeak), zooko (@zooko) and Meredith L Patterson (@maradydd) at 33c3. In this short episode Zooko tells us a cute story of practical love letters hidden in blockchain transactions, Meredith highlights the importance of compilers in the world and Ryan mentions Alexandria library. It's a bit of a teaser for the 2017, as some of it we will be covering in detail in 2017 on Oktahedron. Recorded at Sendecentrum at Chaos Communication Congress with the guests: AdjyLeak, Meredith L Patterson, Zooko and that TBA guest with a nice podcasting voice, who spoke very little. Hosted by Dirk Jaeckel & Ksenya of Oktahedron. Thanx to Tim Pritlove for recommending Sendecentrum, instead of dragging all our audio equipment all the way to the Congress from Berlin, thanx to Chistopher who was so patient & helpful, and other guys at Sendecentrum . And a great big thanx to our wonderful sound guy in particular. Enjoy!

In this episode Dirk Jaekel & Ksenya discuss zcash with Zooko. Zcash dev wiki https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/specification, a repo https://github.com/zcash/zcash and a user guide https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/1.0-User-Guide To get your head around zero knowledge proofs and zcash even better we also recommend two episodes recorded by our fellow podcasters Meher & Brian from a different podcast Epicenter: Ep116 with professor Eli Ben-Sasson and Ep122 with Zooko Here is the paper that we mention “How to explain Zero-Knowledge Protocols to your children” Towards the middle of the podcast we talk about a practical way of making a nice and useful zcash node, which we intend to make IRL and will shortly publish some basic specs for it.

In Brief Zooko Wilcox has more than 20 years of experience in open, decentralized systems, cryptography and information security, and startups. He is recognized for his work on DigiCash, Mojo Nation, ZRTP, “Zooko's Triangle”, Tahoe-LAFS, BLAKE2, and SPHINCS. He is also the Founder and CEO of Least Authority. He sometimes blogs about health science. . In recent years, progress in the area of zero knowledge proofs has made it possible to construct a blockchain whose miners can verify transactions, or state changes, without seeing the information contained in those transactions. Many of the individuals developing these tools have joined Zooko to form the Zcash company. Zcash aims to be a truly anonymous cryptocurrency, but more than just a currency, it is the first step toward managing privacy on public blockchains. Recently, at the Cornell University blockchain hackathon, Zcash team members participated in a successful effort to include an implementation of zero knowledge proofs known as ZKsnarks into an ethereum client running on a test net a monumental achievement in blockchain anonymity. In addition to this, the Zcash team are using the BTCRelay codebase to construct ZRelay, a bridge between the Zcash, Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains. The final third of this episode is a casual discussion of the culture of the field of cryptography roughly between 1990 and 2000. https://z.cash Chain analysis tools: Blockchain.info OTX.me live.ether.camp Chain analysis services: Elliptic: https://www.elliptic.co/ Chain Analysis: https://www.chainalysis.com/ A very limited article on the history of cryptography but a conclusion worth skipping to: http://www.inquiriesjournal.com/articles/41/a-brief-history-of-cryptography The Cypherpunk FAQ: https://www.cypherpunks.to/faq/cyphernomicron/cyphernomicon.txt Wikipedia links: Phil Zimmerman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Zimmermann David Chaum:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Chaum History of cryptography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cryptography#World_War_II_cryptography Great Forbes article on the dismay some mathematicians feel at the dominance of the NSA in their field of employment: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/06/05/mathematicians-urge-colleagues-to-refuse-to-work-for-the-nsa/#2f02244c6c2e Content: Zooko Wilcox, Arthur Falls Be sure to subscribe on iTunes: https://exit.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fthe-ether-review%2Fid899090462%3Fmt%3D2

For Zooko Wilcox-O’Hearn, part of the cypherpunk movement since the early 1990s, the vision of a decentralized financial system that has both openness and privacy has existed since long before Bitcoin. After many failed attempts, Bitcoin proved that that vision could be achievable. But Bitcoin also failed to deliver on the privacy features as blockchain analysis allows tracing movements and deanonymizing many users. Zooko joined us to discuss his project Zcash, a fully anonymous cryptocurrency that is scheduled to launch in July. Through Zcash’s use of ground-breaking Zero Knowledge Proofs (or zkSNARKs) the blockchain will leak no information about sender, recipients nor amounts. It was a fascinating discussion of the most anticipated launch of a cryptocurrency since Ethereum. Topics covered in this episode: Zooko’s long cypherpunk history How overconfidence derailed many cypherpunk projects Why Bitcoin’s privacy is broken and how Zcash provides true privacy The too-good-to-be-true Zcash team Why Zcash is based on a fork of Bitcoin How the initial parameter generation creates a potential security weakness Why Zcash believes in an evolutionary approach to designing cryptocurrency protocols Episode links: Zcash website Why Zcash - Project Announcement Zerocash: Decentralized Anonymous Payments from Bitcoin [PDF] EB116 - Eli Ben-Sasson: Zero Knowledge Proofs This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Meher Roy.

Music and conversation with Bobby Britches, Valentino Bold, Calamity Shane and Zooko of the Bad Boyfriends.

A brilliant fact about crypto-economic blockchains is that they enable the construction of naming systems that transcend limits imposed by Zooko’s triangle. Traditional naming systems such as human names, Domain Name System (DNS) and Facebook profile names are subject to Zooko’s triangle and cannot be secure, human memorable and decentralised at once. For instance human names such as Meher Roy are human-memorable and decentralised but not secure (nothing prevents hundreds of people being called Meher Roy). Domain Names like are secure and human-memorable but require a central authority to hand out names. OneName leverages Bitcoin to build a Global Identification system called blockchain ID. Blockchain IDs for users can be associated with real world identity data such as social media profiles, government issued papers etc. In this episode we converse with Ryan Shea and Muneeb Ali, co-founders and leaders of OneName, Blockstore and BlockStack. They explain the rationale and vision behind their push for a Global Decentralised Identification and Verification system. Topics covered in this episode: Zooko’s triangle and how Bitcoin breaks the triangle The general idea behind blockchain ID, how it works and its component transactions Why OneName migrated their blockchain ID system from the Namecoin to the Bitcoin blockchain Technical design of Blockstore and how it enables decentralised storage and association of large datasets to blockchain IDs Vision and use cases for Decentralised Identity, authentication and identity verification. The notion of Probabilistic Identity Episode links: Intentional Naming System Zooko's triangle Why Onename is Migrating to the Bitcoin Blockchain Blockchain ID Organization of Schemas Blockstack BlockStore This episode is hosted by Meher Roy and Sébastien Couture.
