are the zk/anon casting experiments dead? those were one of the most interesting/unique things happening in all of crypto imo cc @woj.eth @slokh @dwr.eth please tell me anon casting is making a comeback into your client at some point..

I wouldn't add any features so much as I am hoping it gets baked into WC and becomes more widely accessible Feels like an opportunity to generate Unique Content that can't be replicated elsewhere [bc of the underlying rails]. On reddit people have to jump through the hoops of creating throwaway accounts, and frankly tons of interesting content comes out of them cc @ted who i think brought this up in the past

thats probably the only way for anon posts to work because if you make a new client with anon posting then you have to compete with WC which is futile what do you mean by "unique content that can't be replicated"?

I actually don't know if that part is true, but what I meant was using zk to make anon posts with provable-claims is something that other social media platforms can't do although in the end 1/ x could add an anon post function with attached claims and you'd have to just trust it and 2/ ig at some level you'd have to trust the client/merkle that they aren't logging your zk-anon posts (which, if they OS the client, you could reasonably trust I think?) said another way: there should be things we can do with zk-proofs over accounts and contents that other social media platforms can't do, by virtue of not being built on top of crypto rails with wallets built in etc
