How to improve our personal on-chain privacy

Transcript

I just have one more question. It's kind of important one. You mentioned that you know you rather trust this encryption to mathematics instead of anything else. Going through your Twitter yesterday, I noticed that you said something very interesting and I want to highlight that. Okay. >> You said that human layer of privacy will collapse sooner than this technical layer of privacy. Right. So what can we as humans do so we can improve our privacy? So we can then the technical part can help us even better.

>> Great guys. [laughter] >> Okay, great. Thanks for reading my thoughts. Um, so when I when I talk about human layer, I was basically talking to developers. Um I was trying to like make developers understand that you could build the best infrastructures and the best architectures, the best encryption encrypt encryption schemes but if your user experience is fable um people would make mistakes. Humans are prone to mistakes. So you have to optimize your applications or your building process in a way that um reduces the amount of human effort required to make privacy you know work and um yeah so going back

to your question I think that was one of the major reasons why I tried to like move into limitations so we could actually do research ourself to understand uh I mean that's why I also talking about this to understand ZK to understand it limitation to understand when people are there Ethereum L2 tools that actually showcase ZK solutions and then they have the approvers and they are uh they have operators being able to decrypt your transactions but the only good thing is at least they're transparent about that fact so if you have an understanding of what operators need because most of them don't speak English uh if you have a understanding of what operators need uh you can then

you um be able to know that yeah these are the good guys, these are the bad guys pretending to be good guys and then you could follow our profiles like web three privacy now they they post about and blog about and talk about ways you could actually like you know protect your privacy way better um you could switch over from using centralized applications um I personally don't use any Google product I use um five uh Dedox. Um for um my VPNs I use Nim. I could pay with store I could access with I could pay with some Zcash.

I could pay with Monero. Um uh so yeah uh it's it's a and then for charge I still use charg so but then there I still use some other privacy uh related product. there's there's nearly on GBT there's um there's a host of different GT products so basically it's just having to I mean the privacy space is just booming recently so it's still a long run there are people who have been defending their privacy so much but when most things are already defaultly transparent but a little bit hard to get shielded which is why you know there a lot of buildathons and people and people building new applications so I think I've been talking too much but yeah the

best way to do is just Follow more educational resources where true privacy now has a very good uh resource place. You could see what Vitalik to see Vitalik's privacy st you could see my personal privacy stack in full and like other people's privacy staff. You could ask questions and you get answers and Yeah. >> Well, thank you for You're welcome. Yeah.
