Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
zcash is also a two-party system. There is a prover (payer) and a verifier (a node). The payee is not involved in the process. No, it isn't. There's the control plane also. The blockchain which keeps record of WHERE anything is. What updates it? Same as in Bitcoin. The winning miner. In the protoco...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
You are conflating a multi-party system (zcash) with a two-agent system (this dialogue) zcash is also a two-party system. There is a prover (payer) and a verifier (a node). The payee is not involved in the process. No, it isn't. There's the control plane also. The blockchain which keeps record of W...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
So you know WHERE it's going? And you know WHAT is going? I am not an expert on zcash. The last time I read up on the protocol is years ago. The prover knows where it is going. The prover does not reveal where it comes from. The prover knows the amounts involved but does not reveal them. The zero-k...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
If you cannot know WHERE the money is coming from and you can't know WHERE the money is going how can move anything from A to B? The prover knows where it is going but he does not reveal where it comes from. Not sure if he even needs to know this So you know WHERE it's going? And you know WHAT is g...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
Unless you want to convince me that zcash does double-entries without reconciling them. It is not possible for the outside observer to reconcile double entries. So, the basis of the privacy properties of Zcash is that when we spend a note, we only prove that some commitment for it had been revealed...

Re: ∞ is a free variable
strings are more free? if there are a finite number of memory spaces created (as huge a number as that is) within all the connected computing devices, how could a number that is infinite actually fit? -Imp Suppose there is a finite number of memory spaces. Suppose there's a single address even. Sup...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
In zero-knowledge arguments only one side has zero knowledge. The side that expects the proof. The side doing the proving has non-zero knowledge. Look at how the zcash protocol works. The prover has no clue as to where the money comes from. He knows the amount and where it goes to. The largest part...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
Look at how the zcash protocol works. The prover has no clue as to where the money comes from. He knows the amount and where it goes to. The largest part of the message is encrypted even for the prover. He intergrates something that he does not understand into what he is writing. So, a good part of...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
Absolutely nothing like it. You don't even know what it is that you are encrypting. You don't even know where it is. So how are you encrypting it? That happens in the brain. It is not known how. Type error. Again. Why do you keep confusing whys, whats, wheres and hows? The data owner knows EXACTLY ...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
That is exactly how it works. No, it isn't. The representation is not the message. Type error. Again. I didn't ask you WHAT the message being represented is. I asked you WHERE the message being represented is. We don't know the message itself. We only know some of its representations. We? You and a...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
So how are you getting the content of your message across if the above is nothing more than a representation of the content? The content is just another representation, i.e. a mental one. Instead of magnetized disk sectors, it is probably something like activated neurons, or whatever. The details o...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
The map is not the territory. If it were, it would be unique. Type error. I did't ask you a "What is/isn't it?" question. I asked you a "Where is it?" question. Where is the message? You have a representation in your mind. Then, you represent that as symbols. Then, as a signal o...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
It is a Platonic abstraction. I didn't ask what it is. I asked where it is. If the above is only a representation of the message - where is the Platonically abstract message? You can only view its many representations. So if all I can view is the representation, how am I receiving your messages? Yo...
