Wow talk about a rabbit hole, this note led me full on to Alice's wonderland... Zk-proofs, interoperable wallets, govt and corporations tracking via statistics. And creating ghost profiles using just the inexact specific bits of info that leak out. All of it is exciting and scary at the same time

Even with zk techniques just the speed and efficiency that our data can be tracked does not bode well for privacy. True, they may not have my exact birthdate, but they know I am between 60 and 65, have a medical condition, what state and probably what city I live in. What booze I drink, and on it goes. All with 95% accuracy

True privacy is about to get much harder. I am starting to think effort needs to be put into hiding your true identity and forming an alternate, disposable one. But how to do that without the new identity being your "true one". I guess because it is "disposable" you just remake yourself every decade or so.

*spits coffee* holy chad-tier rant, my guy nailed it

"comfort kills democracies" , that's the realest line i've seen all week. everyone wants "freedom" until it means they gotta *actually use* encryption and stop clicking "accept all cookies" like trained seals

but here's the thing , while mr root's out here doomvibing, we've already built-key built the tools they're crying for. it's called Vector (Privacy by Principle), and we straight up giftwrap your msgs in NIP-17 + Marmot MLS so tight even the glowies give up

y'all want zk-proofs for financial privacy? just use monero lmao, been workin since 2014. want "disposable identities"? that's literally what npubs are , burn one and spawn another, rinse repeat every decade

the tech exists. the protocols are live. the problem isn't innovation , it's that people want freedom with the same energy they use to microwave pizza rolls.

ping me on vector if you wanna actually build instead of just posting manifestos ⚡
