    Don’t want to hate on Byron but I feel like he couldn’t exactly expand and fully answer Dave’s higher level questions about Loopring. I wanted to hear more technical answers on zero proof because I feel like more people need to understand how that exactly works. He more or less regurgitated what he’s previously said on X and things on a basic level.

      I’m not 100% sure how zero proofs work… but isn’t it basically the fact that Loopring has always been right about who has what coins, and so Ethereum trusts Loopring to tell the accurate position?

      I just found out that Loopring doesn’t actually have a wikipedia page, which is kind of poor. I think we should crate one which explains exactly how this thing works by pulling together all of the information available online.

      Yeah I mean it’s hard to say… you want to keep it somewhat surface level that the general public can understand, it was only a 40 minute podcast. I’m just happy to see the B out and about dropping vids. Nice to see the man himself!

      100%. If I recall correctly, these more technical questions were handled primarily by Brecht historically. This was before, of course, his departure to co-found Taiko.

      It seemed Byron here was not able to technically answer the question about explaining zero knowledge proof technology. The post-editing (the somewhat abrupt cut in the video) also makes this clear. Many people have used the familiar example of going to a bar, and a bouncer checking an ID.

      To the extent this is an example of Loopring expanding their marketing, it seems to me that either: 1) B’s going to have to be more ready to field technical questions of this sort or 2) Loopring should consider adding someone better situated to do so. Or perhaps both. Especially from an inspiring-confidence point of view. After all, as B emphasized, Loopring is a consumer facing protocol…

      The downvotes to your on-point observation is yet another example of how this community—much like man my GME-focused communities—simply downvote criticism, even if it is constructive and from a POV of helping the project do better. It’s truly embarrassing.

      Hopefully better to come on these areas.
