Zooko doesn't follow me and didn't tag me, so I have to respond via QT instead of reply, here goes: 1. If there is evidence of onchain crime, it makes obvious sense to provably dissociate from it 2. privacy pools still works in shielded pools 3. Zcash "works" full story 🧵👇
The Privacy Pools idea is a bad for three reasons. 1. It is an attempt to comply with the principle of Guilty Until Proven Innocent. 2. It doesn’t provide privacy for normal users. 3. Zcash works and we should learn from it. ⤵

Some insight into life on the team @zksync, from @vladbochok1 !
Tune in to hear how @vladbochok1 casually found a bug in OpenZeppelin library while working as a security engineer at @zksync ! More of what we discussed: ⭕️ Rollups Basics Explained ⭕️ Becoming More Security Minded: Tips for Improving Your Project ⭕️ Secure System Design:

Developers: Earlier today, we completed the Mainnet upgrade for block.timestamp, block.number, and blockhash. This important change allows protocols to leverage faster updates to block info and brings consistency to on-chain & RPC data. Follow @zkSyncDevs to stay up-to-date ⬇️
📢 Mainnet upgrade for block.timestamp, block.number and blockhash is planned to start at 10:00 UTC today! ℹ️ We'll start with roughly 1 virtual block per 60 L2 miniblocks 👉 Join the GitHub Discussion for latest updates

I am in favour of this. My feeling is that the name "Data Availability" has caused confusion and "Data Publishing" is clearer. Still open to better names but so far DP seems most descriptive.
Data Availability is by far the most confusing term we ever came up with. Data Publishing + Data Storage are better terms that are more intuitive. DA = Data Publishing, not Data Storage. Here are few facts that you may be unaware of: 🧵👇

@MicahZoltu What problem does this privacy protocol solve? Building an ethos-compatible privacy protocol that actually works, because it's politically much harder to ban. What does ethos-compatible mean? 1) Compliance is voluntary. Every user decides for themselves what they want to

Yes! Tornado: clean + dirty money = dirty money. Therefore, DOJ blacklisted the entire TC contract as "dirty". Here, clean money is separated from the dirty money. It's very close to "clean" and "dirty" addresses on Ethereum itself. TC's compliance tool could not do that,
Is this enough to satisfy the DOJ's bar for compliance? Note that Tornado Cash *had* a compliance tool that allowed any user to prove their chain of custody to a third party, such as to an exchange or law enforcement. They also blocked sanctioned addresses from the frontend.

This scheme is genuis. Since the compliance is voluntary, it works for any jurisdiction.

"How do we incorporate multiple chains in an architecture where they can still seamlessly, trustlessly, and capital efficiently communicate with each other? This is where the hyperchain vision comes in." More on the hyperchain vision from @gluk64 ⬇️ 🧠
Hyperchains are fully customisable @zksync instances that run in parallel & communicate with each other via trustless bridges. @gluk64 discusses the hyperchain architecture and highlights the importance of sharing the same ZKP circuits. Entire episode👇 https://t.co/gnH7Kf75P4

@haydenzadams @zooko Yes, I mentioned @VitalikButerin's post about overloading L1 consensus in my write-up, and I am openly challenging it. BTW, my proposal is inspired by another of his ideas – about the concave vs. convex worldviews: https://t.co/hu8udXMWf8 Taking a 100% distanced approach to
