Replying to Avatar 🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit

Zero knowledge proofs in the context of cryptocurrency have been much less tested than the cryptographic signatures and other complex components of Bitcoin. I don't know why I keep having to explain this in different words here. Both Bitcoin and Monero have complex components that most users can't be expected to understand directly, but with Bitcoin those components were broken and fixed in world war 2 and with Monero those components are being tested for the first time.

By the way, I think most users can and should read about the basic premises of public-key cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs. But most users might not ever have any idea how to sign a Bitcoin transaction or verify a Monero wallet amount by hand without having software handle it for them.
