Trying to explain ZK to a designer with no programming or crypto experience, how'd I do?

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

You wall of texted his ass bruh

With good examples

Would be happy to collaborate on it! What are you thinking?

I think this graphic explanation of a Zero Knowledge Proof could be useful.

Having a closed door in the middle, 
Alice could prove the ownership of the key just going from A to B or vice versa with no need to show the key.

Good question! They also asked some good questions:

1. How does this becomes transformative for everyday people? (Screenshot)

2. If the porn industry is always an early adopter, how are they using it? I talked about private payments, but there's a lot more to say here too.

What questions (if any) did the designer ask you after you sent this?

I don't think they are in a place to care about "how" it works mechanically (most non-cryptography people aren't), more about what it is and why we should care about it.

I would have been more succinct and describes it to a designer as ZK is like a color swatch book. It proves you have the right color without showing the entire palette or revealing the exact formula to get that colour. It verifies authenticity while maintaining creative confidentiality.

Well said. The last point really takes it home!
