1/10 An analogy to understand #privacy in blockchain.

Your safe box (the wallet) contains inside the checks that you can issue to operate in the network. Only you can sign the checks (the private address of your wallet contained in the seed).
2/10 Then, the tx of those checks already operated are public, and show the funds transferred, destination and origin addresses, day and time, (this is traceability), but as they are bearer checks it is not known who transacted.
3/10 It is possible to know from which safes they were issued and which safe endorsed them, but without knowing their holders, on-chain. But if you post on Twitter that you are the owner of that safe (off-chain information) everyone can track the tx (on-chain information).
4/10 This traceability is in #Bitcoin, or in #Cardano, as in other networks.
5/10 What Cardano #Midnight will do with the cryptography of the Zero-Knowledge protocol, is to obfuscate the tx in the same network (on-chain information) and if you have published your safe on Twitter (off-chain information) it will be very difficult almost impossible to…
6/10 …trace all your tx.

Monero works like that, but with another obfuscation protocol. ZCash on the other hand operates with the Zero Knowledge protocol. Both Blockchains are known as 'privacy coins'.
7/10 You should not confuse the cryptography contained in the Blockchain protocol with the privacy (not traceability) of the tx on the blockchain.
8/10 Cardano and BTC have the SHA256 protocol, which serves to asymmetrically encrypt the addresses so that only the holder of the private key can send funds .
9/10 Asymmetric cryptography means that you cannot decrypt the private key from the public key, but you can the other way around.

Orbis protocol, which for now is discontinued by their team, was designed like this, you can see my article, to understand Zero-Knowledge protocol.

1/7 Another great report from @SCATDAO
medium.com/@scatdao/meld-…
2/7 In this second part about Meld, you can see that their Roadmap promised DApp release in Q3-2021, then they changed it to Q4 2021, then delayed it to Q1-2022, and so on, always delaying release every quarter, and the latest info is that DAP lending/borrowing will be on…
3/7 …mainnet Q2 2023. We will see.

Tokenomics: SCATDAO said in the report: "If we add up all the tokens that go to the benefit of the team creating the product we get 80% (private sale 30% + Team 17.5% + ISPO 22.9% +Partnerships 4.6% + Foundation 5%)"

1/10 Some notable features (not all) of #Cardano Blockchain. The current and upcoming implementation, explained in my articles.
-eUTXO: deterministic model that can handle sending multiple tokens to different addresses in a single tx.
blog.blockmagnates.com/accounting-mod…
2/10 -Cardano has a multi-asset ledger, and so all tokens issued on the network has native token treatment, similar to ADA coins and no smart contracts are needed for interaction (as in Ethereum).
liberlion.medium.com/cardano-and-to…
3/10 -Cardano has native liquid staking, which has no blocking or slashing of funds. Funds can always be withdrawn and ownership of fund keys is maintained at all times.

-Hard Fork Combinator for hard network updates, without friction or trauma.

Unsustainable #Bitcoin Mining

RBF (Replace By Fee) is a further step in trying to save scalability by allowing to increase the fee of a tx before it is confirmed.

It will have introduce a vulnerability in double-spending.

2/4
Bitcoin Core Devs are introducing changes that are twisting the BTC's essence.

In less than 10 years Bitcoin will be unrecognizable to Satoshi Nakamoto's creation.
3/4
#Bitcoin will be more scalable because it will be centralized.

#Bitcoin will function as a payment platform in the hands of banking companies.

1/4 Today's #Cardano Government goes like this:

-ProjectCatalyst: voting on private projects for public funds from the Cardano Treasury, which is funded by the 20% network transaction tax.
2/4 -DReps: voters can delegate voting power to Delegated Representatives in Project Catalyst.

-Circle Catalyst: a set of voted representatives, which are renewed periodically that oversees the current status and future plans for governance at Project Catalyst.
3/4 -MBO: Members Based Organization will create a channel for its ongoing participation in Cardano's development and roadmap.

-Decentralized Governance Mechanism for the Voltaire Era: CIP-1694. Cardano Constitution, Governance Actions and Votes
Anything else?

1/6 #Cardano separated cost accounting from computing and created a two-tier blockchain architecture, borrowing the principle of separation of concerns in data transfer from the TCP / IP network protocol stack.
2/6 Ethereum processes transactions and smart contracts at the same level, which otherwise involves centralized decision making (this is contrary to the blockchain principle), threatens user privacy, overloads networks, and slows down transactions.
3/6 The Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL) is used for ADA transmission and provides network speed.

I want them to judge my work.
A year ago, in October 2021, I wrote this critical article.

Iam a researcher by nature.
I do not have the education to analyze computer codes, but I do have the logic, to be able to understand the ecosystem as a whole.
2/3
Decentralization is for me essential today as a lifestyle, having learned this in the crypto space.
By this I mean that I am decentralized, I do not respond to any interest. I can afford criticism.
