Zero Knowledge

My bad, was excited to be on front page. Not trying to be sly.

Not sure if that's true or not but it's a solid article and would recommend regardless

In this case the third party could be the employer that pays the salary, or the bank that receives it.

The decision to trust the issuer or not is down to the entity viewing the information, and depends on the particular requirements of the situation. A zero-knowledge proof that I am over 25 issued by my local library may be enough for the local theatre to let me in to watch a suitably rated movie, but not for the local bar to let me purchase liquor (in the latter case a proof directly from a government entity would be more appropriate).

That depends on the implementation, some verify and settle every block.

Because it's written by someone who (as they admit) first learned about it recently from a tweet. It appeals to laymen very well, but conflates "Zero knowledge" and "Zero knowledge proofs" throughout the article. Not sure if that's intentional or not.

Edit: Learned it was important from a recent tweet*. it seems the author may have already known what they are.

no worse insult than LinkedIn-like :(

Great video. Thanks for sharing.
