SP1 brings light to zero-knowledge: write Rust, get circuit-level performance. This is what dev tooling should be. #rust #zk #web3 https://blog.succinct.xyz/introducing-sp1/

.... and done!

A new CLI tool for creating Merkle trees using the #Aztec implementation of Pedersen hash.

It's one of those things you build because you need it yourself.

It's super niche obviously, but if you're using #noir or into #snarks #zk or #cryptography -- check it out!

My benchmark of the BBS+ signature scheme https://news.dyne.org/benchmark-of-the-bbs-signature-scheme-v06/ with links to our free and open source implementation #crypto #zk

Aztec finished separating Nargo from Barretenberg in Noir!

Even die-hard fans of #cryptography and #zk might not be sure if this is a sentence from the industry or a fantasy book, so I'm here to help.

Aztec: is a privacy-preserving Ethereum L2 blockchain using ZK (Zero-knowledge). That's not exciting for me really, but they are *also* building Noir.

Noir: An awesome general language for ZK programs. People (me) use it for writing ID systems, KYC, blockchains, or decentralized games.

This was a weird day, that started with a stressful visa extension appointment, and continued with a dental emergency right after, since I cannot catch a break, and only now with everything sorted out I can start preparing for #zk #krakow tomorrow.

A calming beer in the pub in szczęśliwicki park in #Warsaw is my #WeirdDailyOffice .

I want to take my #ID for the Internet project to the next level: get people to try it out. But is the #fediverse is the right place for that?

The project is based on #ZK #snarks and #ethereum #blockchain, to have a private global registry of identities. Those topics are not popular in the fediverse, so It might be hard to find test users.

But I don't want to look at places like Twitter, where it is popular. I also really do believe that such an ID fits the #dweb more than any other place.

Interesting research by Orrù, Tessaro, Zaverucha and Zhu on creating oblivious zero-knowledge proofs.

With interesting applications to making a Publicly Verifiable OPRF and upgrading Keyed-Verification Anonymous Credentials to be concurrently secure blind signatures.

Building a 2n Brain and ZK, by Sascha (Zettelkasten.de) https://zettelkasten.de/posts/building-a-second-brain-and-zettelkasten/

hi, a quick #introduction, i'm jack 29M

I'm a SWE soon to move to startup land after 6.5 years in public sector with uk gov.

Outside of capitalist prescribed selfID im an ubernerd and typical latestage millenial: i've used PCs since I was 5 and lived on the internet since way too young.

I'm interested in #tech, #dev, #weightlifting and #zk/#pkm

I chose #Hachyderm after watching @nova livestream an upgrade, lurking and being very impressed by the democratic model that @nivenly offers.
