Someone has a clue on how to use Oblivious Transfer for privacy and fungibility?
Looks like this is the new "malleability has a ton of use cases".
These new OP codes will bring a huge increase to fungibility and privacy.
it looks to me like the BDPL could be a good thing. remember, BDPL is not a patent itself; it is an organizational structure attempting to diffuse the inevitable and ever escalating filing and granting of patents in the mining space. b/c Little Dragon has offered up it's AB patent (pending) rights to any other miners joining BPDL, it is a strong incentive for other miners wanting to use AB in an unchallenged legal way to join while offering up their patents as well in a collaborative effort. specifically Bitmain, in regards to this serial power supply circuit layout to efficiently supply electricity to the mining chip.I really don't know how to think about this. SHA-256 HW is so simple and has been around for so long that I doubt there is anything that can be patented at this point to offer any real advantage.
Mining advantage primarily comes from finding cheaper sources of electricity, not better mining HW. If someone gained a majority of mining though a technology advantage I think that advantage would be by inventing and owning a cheaper method of generating electricity such as fusion power, than anything else.
from the article:
The article gives the impression that using Bitcoin for payment in Germany incurred no taxes at all.
Sounds amazing, nice link to malleability. I have not even a vague clue how to imagine oblivious transactions ... Is this for real?Looks like this is the new "malleability has a ton of use cases".
Not a clue, if anyone knows how OT can be used to enhance privacy on blockchain transactions I'd love to hear it, sounds we might have to wait until the conference. OT is simply a blinding mechanism, Alice sends multiple messages to Bob, however Bob can only receive one message and Alice does not know which one was received. It's not clear how this is either useful for transactions or relevant with fungible tokens. When I first looked at zero knowledge proofs I remember feeling I understood the basics in a few hours (not necessarily all the math though), with OT I am stuck on how it is relevant.Someone has a clue on how to use Oblivious Transfer for privacy and fungibility?
Who is Heart?Anyone want to speculate why Cobra and Heart have started/completed a 180?
He's a self-proclaimed Bitcoin thought leader who has a popular Bitcoin Youtube channel. very hard to watch. he also used to propagate email spam for a living https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/79y40b/scammer_alert_you_know_the_narcissist_guy_who/Who is Heart?
