Hal Finney was talking about zero-knowledge cryptography 27 years ago.

Decades ahead of his time.

Thanks for sharing this historical video which is great for us to see and watch.

Accordingly to Goldreich, the zk-proof concept is from 1985, already 40 years ago. But, it takes time for the concepts to evolve from those theorectical professors towards practical applications for us lowly mortals. Kudos if he was working with some concept just 13y old them. Bravo. nostr:npub13et8ay8ny99mygd8ymznczusrhfrhhzzs8jdlep9q98r8uway9asl62v4r

I didn't understand the link 🧐

it is a ps file (latex direct output), not a pdf.

today's browsers may get confused with it, but you can download directly with wget or other tool.
