Just did a test to see where I should exchange my money... it seems that onchain foreign exchange is cheaper than offchain after fees A comparison of swapping 1000 USD to EUR: Llamaswap (via @matchaxyz): 894 euro (USDC -> EURC -> offramp for free via bitstamp) Bank 1: Revolut: 885.23 eur Bank 2: Bunq: 890 euro Bank 3: Wise: 890 euro Exchange Xe: 881 euro

This is a good decision. Preferenxe falsification is a big problem in society and we need to see people's honest views. It would be really cool if Farcaster follows it, by implementing ZK likes. Can probably borrow technology from zupoll. https://x.com/wanghaofei/status/1793096366132195529

Over the last decades, massive amounts of energy (and money!) have been poured into creating the *fastest* proof system. However, most of the applied cryptography industry is not familiar with fast VOLE-based proofs. Learn more here: https://victorsintnicolaas.com/interactive-versus-non-interactive-proof-systems-2/

It is fascinating that media reports about the German defense videocall leak mention "unencrypted WiFi" as likely reason. End to end encryption doesn't care about your network.

I like papers with a good `related work` section - this gem interprets and summarizes a lot of recent work in Witness Encryption: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/264

Does anyone recall the Porter 5 Forces model from Econ 101? We can use this model to map all of the different ways in which cryptographic tools can reduce fraud in society, check out my new article to learn more! https://victorsintnicolaas.com/how-to-use-zero-knowledge-to-coordinate-economic-entities/

One recent case study: there is a rapidly growing ZKML chat and you can just see the slow decline in good participation

Did a wonderful hike this weekend through German state Thüringen. Casually came across a plaque of the wealthiest entrepreneur to have *ever* lived, I had no idea! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakob_Fugger
