Summary

A young man walks into a bar and says “gimme a vodka tonic”. Unsure of the man’s age, the bartender must ask to see his identification in order to prove he is old enough to drink.

What if the bartender knew from the blockchain that the guy was old enough without even asking for an ID? He would be accepting proof with no knowledge of actually having seen the proof. That’s zero knowledge proof… or ZKP.

Today on the show we welcome Dor Garbash of the Mina Foundation to discuss ZKPs and why they are essential to building a web3 future with privacy and scalability in mind.

By the time we are done, you will have proof that you’ve got some knowledge of zero knowledge proof on episode #668 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

0:38.1	and scalability in mind. By the time we're done, you'll have proof that you've got some knowledge
0:44.8	of zero-knowledge proof on episode number 668 of the Bad Crypto Podcast.
1:15.6	And you have proof of listening right now. How do we know because you're listening to this
1:26.6	in your ears? But we don't know that you're listening to it, so I guess we've got no proof

1:52.4	leave a negative review, it really helps us peer into your soul and see how awful of a person you
1:58.0	truly are. Yeah, and we've got one of those for today, but we've also got an introduction to
2:06.1	zero-knowledge proof today, which I think is really interesting once you understand exactly what
2:10.8	this is all about. And Sir Lord Travis is going to come up with a zero-knowledge NFT, a commemorative
2:18.0	NFT that we are going to give away for free. And we'll tell you how to do that after our interview
2:24.6	today. So, Travis, should we get on with the show and welcome door through the door? Come on,
2:31.3	come on, baby, light my fire. Let's go. There are many terminologies bandied about in the
