Can we implement Zkarma on Farcaster? Zkarma is like Zcash. Zcash transfers money privately from one account to another. But Zkarma would transfer accumulated *likes* privately from one account to another. If we can, it enables the pseudonymous economy. See: https://twitter.com/ATabarrok/status/1400890663386767363

I would say the whole point of karma/likes is that those things are not easily exchangeable for cash, and it's that friction that allows it to have different mechanics.

Yeah, I compressed it down for a tweet — but if you recall the pseudonymous economy talk, you don’t necessarily need to *transfer* 1000 karma but can share a zero knowledge proof that your other account had >1000 karma. So that preserves the reputational aspect of karma on both the main and pseudonymous accounts.
