RE: Hive dApps: Can ChatGPT Help Create Hive Applications?

[holovision]

Just as journalists (and I) were learning how to code.😢

O.K. I accepted the ChatGPT answer that it didn't know how to CoinJoin but after a few more prompts, maybe this has also changed since around 2021, I think I've learned that CoinJoin can''t be implemented because Hive's blockchain does not have UTXOs like bitcoin. Instead of deleting inputs and creating outputs for transactions Hive's DPoS only updates account balances with each transaction.

So instead of bitcoin's two options to increase anonymity crypto tumbling on Hive would be the only real option for anyone wanting to go from pseudonymous transactions to anonymous ones.

Where does zero knowledge proofs fit in?

[holovision]

I posted about that last year.

https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@holovision/math-behind-zero-knowlege-blockchain

For Hive and bitcoin it doesn't fit in. Zero proof blockchains are used by coins like Monero. Neither Hive or bitcoin are zero knowledge proof. If Hive were zero knowledge proof https://hiveblocks.com transactions would look more like https://moneroblocks.info transactions.

This is what ChatGPT says:

Monero uses a technique called "RingCT" (Ring Confidential Transactions) to obscure the amounts involved in a transaction and the identity of the sender. This technique uses a combination of ring signatures and stealth addresses to hide the origin and destination of a transaction.

Ah well, I guess we need a coin with transparency as much as one without.
