bonjour bonjour, if any of you is in Paris on April 29th, we're running the 4th edition of Real World Cryptography Paris: a grassroots crypto meetup focused on the parisian scene

past talks from dfns, zama, WHIR co-authors, independent hackers, etc.

Founders

There's an entire class of young founders who are getting emotional support from Claude, and they'll do much better mentally than older peers because of it

Wish I had had a friendly robot to talk to during dark founder times

We have a Farcaster for ZK identity verification issue for ODBoost, which is open until February 2nd!

Hylé aims to enhance trust infrastructure by supporting many different user identity verification mechanisms. We’d like you to develop an identity contract for Hylé that leverages a Farcaster ID.
We recommend using Risc0 or SP1 for proof generation.

See the issue: https://github.com/Hyle-org/hackathons/issues/6
Apply: https://app.onlydust.com/p/hyl (DO NOT apply through GitHub, please!)

if people want to build with zk and farcaster, we've got a quest for you 👀

zk makes signed data more malleable: you can extend signature from a given signature to create another statement

TEEs make access & authorizations more malleable: you can break apart a login into smaller "OCAP-like" authorizations

we're entering the age of reified data & auth

Merci à @sylve d’être venu partager avec nous l’histoire de @hyle-org ! Il nous a raconté son parcours et expliqué sa vision des Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZK).

L’interview complète est dispo sur YouTube et Spotify 🔥 https://youtu.be/2uD76uiaDf0

[🇫🇷 honhonposting]

Extrait de mon interview avec @coppola et Edouard de Cryptosquare, où l'on parle de zero-knowledge proofs, de confidentialité, et de comment faire perdre 20k par jour à un réseau L2

we're reaching levels of captcha shitposting previously unheard of

we should honeypot the north korean hackers. create a fake company, hire a bunch of them, have them fight each other to try and get access to the funds

this is EV+ for the cia

Proof of residency using SP1 and @hyle-org built by the talented Rute!

Extending the trust you put in digital signatures is fantastic for accessibility. Kudos to the ATCud signature system in Portugal which enables signed invoices!

🔐 Been working on something cool: a privacy-first way to verify Portuguese residency using @hyle_org &amp; @SuccinctLabs.

Upload your utility bill, get a ZK proof and settle it on Hylé - that's it. No more sharing sensitive data or your exact address.

Coming soon! 🇵🇹✨ https://t.co/TZrI1ro0DU

Hyli is the new proof-powered L1 to build the next generation of apps.

what's everyone's thought on Brave's Distefano? Is it just the proxy model with extra steps and TLS 1.3? cc @eulerlagrange.eth

Today the Brave research team shared details on their new DiStefano protocol, which allows users to share trusted encrypted facts as zero-knowledge proofs while preserving privacy.

Check out this new blog post for a deep dive into this tool: https://t.co/FqQfSUG2mJ

The 4 data genders:
- unencrypted & closed-off data: facebook, telegram
- encrypted & closed-off data: signal, whatsapp
- unencrypted & open data: ethereum, wikipedia
- encrypted & open data: 👀👀👀

You can't write zero-knowledge proof without "ow" and "oof"

Continues to be the greatest misconception in the crypto space, and the key reason behind billions of dollars in malinvestment

The *only* thing blockchains are good for is forming strict global consensus

For almost all purported usecases, P2P, CRDTs, or just databases with validity proofs are significantly superior

It's the only misconception worth discussing. Blockchain for strict global consensus. And for everything else, there's mastercard (validium, zk-servers). But aside from bad faith I think the main reason this confusion happens is because blockchain is such a strong concept to latch onto that it's difficult to imagine anything else being possible. That's why we believe blockchain invented the word decentralized.

pointing at no one in particular, i love you all

hyle

Swag so good for @hyle-org folks are wearing it on dates 🫡

No Channel Channel.

Bot or Not? Someone checked @sylve:

Not a bot. Casts: crypto, zk, hyle-org, vibes

Want to check someone else? Install the cast action below.

The more we look at blockchains, the more @sylve realizes that you can do a bunch of cool stuff on top of crypto without doing everything onchain!

Every time I have to interact, even remotely, with the real estate industry, I feel so much better about working in crypto

I just can’t believe how inefficient, scammy and cavalier this entire industry is

How do accept the existence and incompetence of real estate agents

I bawled my eyes out. I've rarely seen depictions of male kindness and vulnerability as poignant as Waymond's. Highly recommend.
