🔒 Understanding Zero Knowledge Proofs: A thread

🤔 Have you ever wondered how you can prove you know something without revealing any information about it? This is where zero-knowledge proofs come into play!

Continue reading👇👇👇 Zero knowledge proofs
1️⃣ Zero-knowledge proofs are a type of #cryptographic protocol that allows you to prove knowledge of something without actually revealing the info itself.

This is done by using complex mathematical #algorithms to check the validity of a claim without learning about its info.
2️⃣ One common use case for zero-knowledge proofs is in password authentication.

Instead of sending your actual #password to a server, which could be intercepted by an attacker, a zero-knowledge proof can be used to prove that you know your password without revealing what it is.

Welcome to our thread on the power of #anonymity in the #cryptoworld. In this thread, we'll explore 8 reasons why #crypto founders choose to remain anonymous, & how it impacts the crypto ecosystem. Let's dive in $QUACK! #CryptoAnonymity #Decentralization #Cryptos #RichQUACK

🧵👇
1. #Anonymity can provide a layer of protection for crypto founders and team members, helping us avoid potential legal or regulatory issues that may arise from our involvement in crypto projects. $QUACK
2. By emphasizing the technology or project over the individuals behind it, anonymity can help prevent the founder or team members from becoming a distraction or target of criticism, and instead, focus on building trust with the community. $QUACK

@realDonaldTrump @QLightening @elonmusk Q: An example of stoic, calculated discernment, cares about abused children and those who are otherwise politically unrepresented.

NeverQ: You are crazy you are dumb you are a joke you are wasting your time
@realDonaldTrump @QLightening @elonmusk #NeverQ : "I will never do research on the corruption of the individuals and institutions that Q has mentioned. If I do any research, it will be to discredit Q and anons. But, I've found it's much easier to just make fun of them."

@bob_way 1/ First and probably most important, I want to express my appreciation.

Talking about #anonymity and #privacy appears to be becoming increasingly frowned upon. Seeing your open and refreshing ideas on the subject definitely helped me open my eyes even further.
. . .
@bob_way 2/ . . .
As you have already indicated, we must first educate people on the distinction between #anonymity and #privacy.

Most individuals do not fully comprehend #cash and the challenges surrounding its "disposal".

@bob_way 3/ . . .
As you pointed out, we do not have #anonymity when purchasing a beer in a bar, but because the cashier will only print a receipt and will not send any personal informations about my nightly activities back to the government or any other company,

2/ Whilst #airtags were designed to track "things" they certainly weren't designed to stalk people as they are.

In addition to the issues @Suzi3D points out, it's important to highlight a few differences that separate the arch + design of Panquake.com from networks like GETTER and Parler. Short thread.
First, we're taking #decentralization seriously. Panquake.com conversations are committed to a blockchain record which will be shared around the world. Users on the network will communicate and verify each other using peer-to-peer methods and strong encryption.
Second, the Panquake.com network is built upon #respect and empowerment for users. We're making sure your data lives on your device(s), and don't collect or store the kind of sensitive information that has already been breached from GETTR and Parler, not even email.

Most #cryptocurrency exchange owners and #newschannels in #India seem to be pretty much clueless about what the exact definition of a private cryptocurrency is.

Thread continued👇
This confusion and chaos has been driven by the recent #hysteria about the government apparently confused whether to do a #cryptoban or #regulatecrypto.
All those news articles that sprung up about the #fakeban, initially were based upon this generic understanding that all #cryptocurrencies are private in nature.

Welcome to the world of #privacy, #security & #anonymity in 2021! 📅

This thread is dedicated to getting you started on your journey in 5 steps. Whether you’re brand new to the scene or an advanced user, we welcome everyone. Let’s begin!🔐
✅1. We believe privacy is a fundamental human right and encourage others to see why we hold this vision. A few resources to get you started:

✅2. Users should understand privacy on a fundamental level, rather than falling into the trap of “this is more private, therefore I must use it.”

We have an incredibly thorough course (There’s a free option!) walking you through from start to finish: techlore.tech/goincognito.ht…

Threats to share intimate images can have life-threatening consequences and should be criminalised:
Baroness Nicky Morgan: Change revenge porn laws so we 'stop failing women and girls' telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/01/0…
My research with colleagues has also found that almost 1 in 5 people (19%) across the UK, New Zealand and Australia have experienced threats to share intimate images #LifeThreatening

Reminder that this is not a new issue and there have been campaigns for years to get a change in the law. Here is just one example of where it could have made a difference:

such a nice dose of congratulations on my timeline, & i am really grateful, but - & this is genuine - i've enjoyed a privileged platform, & any work i've done as SR only had value because of the input of people much braver & more expert than me.
all the way back to my first UN report in 2015, on #encryption & #anonymity, check out the list of orgs submitting ideas & expertise. freedex.org/encryption-and… that has always been the pattern.
or think about the journalists and defenders and academics and whistleblowers I've met on missions in deeply repressive environments (e.g. #Tajikistan, #Turkey), whose very act of engaging with a UN visitor was/is dangerous.

🛡️ Online #privacy and #anonymity advice for #activists! 🚨 Please RT! 🚨

If you are in the front lines right now, cover your face and prep your phone with extra tools to protect yourself and your friends!

⬇️ For basic starter tools, check out this thread for tips! ⬇️ [1/6]
1. Leave no trace with a #VPN

A VPN hides what you do and what websites you visit from whoever gives the Internet. This could be a Wi-Fi network or your phone carrier.

Not sure where to start? @ProtonVPN has a free tier for activists. [2/6]
2. Protect your messages and your friends' identities with @signalapp.

Signal is a secure messaging app. Like WhatsApp but stores less info about you and your messages.

Best part is disappearing messages. Make messages disappear after 10 mins, 1 hour, 1 day of being read! [3/6]

A thread about how well #China is playing the international game to become the most prominent economy in this decade, by @swardley.
@swardley Some key points about #China's long-run #strategy:

- For the #CPC (Communist Party of China) the #market is only a tool to leverage the power of the Chinese people, culture, and state, and not the holy sacred truth, as most western liberals believe. See @swardley's explanation.
@swardley - #China, through its CPC, acts as the #world's #biggest #buyer of goods & services, and hence, is able to impose its conditions (read law, prices, access to intellectual property, etc) to all multinationals that want to access the Chinese market, no matter how big they are.

A frightening dilemma looms for India's minorities, especially her Muslims. It is the upcoming @Census2021India. @PrakashJavdekar has stated that it will be a chance both the enumerate the population AND to populate/update the National Population Register - #NPR. So? you may ask.
Well, here's the rub. The #NPR will be a register of #residents. The National Citizens register will draw on it to establish #Citizenship status on criteria yet to be announced, confirmed and clarified. The #Census and #NPR will be based at least on the foll. data set.
That was the data set used for @censusIndia2011. In the first instance the expectation is that the data will be honestly filled in and submitted via an app. (I heard @PrakashJavdekar say that in a #PresConference on @NDTV.) Here's the dilemma
