i realized here people actually read what I write.

just to explain what I'm working on: Firn is a privacy service which evades certain inefficiencies our competitors (read: Aztec) face. it's able to do this because it uses completely different cryptography (it's account-based privacy, instead of UTXO-based privacy).

The thing is to matter.

Working on Firn Protocol. https://www.firn.cash https://discord.gg/2TPJE7CMdu

with Firn, you can "synchronize" (i.e., determine your own account state, and in particular your account balance) in O(1) time and O(1) bandwidth. i.e. a small constant, independent of
 - the total state size of the system
 - the time elapsed / transactions posted since you last sync'd.
same drill for proof-generation.
