He is also the person who discovered the Zcash bug (along with Sean Bowe and Zooko). In this episode, we explore his journey into the space, what inspires him, and what exciting new paradigms he is exploring today! \r\n\n\nHere are some of the articles and topics he mentions: \r\n\n\n\nhttps://users.cs.fiu.edu/%7Egiri/teach/5420/f01/LundIPS.pdf (Algebraic Methods for Interactive Proof Systems)\r\n\nhttps://electriccoin.co/blog/zcash-counterfeiting-vulnerability-successfully-remediated/ (ECC (Zcash) Vulnerability Blog post) \r\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_Riemann (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_Riemann)\r\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_zeta_function (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_zeta_function)\r\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_function_field (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_function_field)\r\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmut_Hasse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmut_Hasse)\r\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasse_principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasse_principle)\r\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Weil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr\u00e9_Weil)\r\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our sponsor this week https://starkware.co (StarkWare) \r\n\n\nStarkWare will be presenting the https://starkware.co/starkware-sessions/ (StarkWare Sessions) - on Sept 16th in Tel Aviv. The event will bring together some of the brightest minds in zero knowledge research from both the academic and application spheres. Topics that will be discussed are self-custodial trading, STARKs for Layer 1, STARK-friendly hash functions and other cool things you can do with STARK proofs.\r\n\n\nUse the code Zkpodcast for 20% off the tickets - &gt; https://starkware.co/starkware-sessions/ (https://starkware.co/starkware-sessions/)\r\n\n\n\n\nIf you like what we do: \r\n\nFollow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/zeroknowledgefm (@zeroknowledgefm)\r\n\nJoin us on Telegram - https://t.me/joinchat/B_81tQ57-ThZg8yOSx5gjA (https://t.me/joinchat/B_81tQ57-ThZg8yOSx5gjA)\r\n\nSupport our Gitcoin Grant - https://gitcoin.co/grants/38/zero-knowledge-podcast (https://gitcoin.co/grants/38/zero-knowledge-podcast)\r\n\nSupport us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/zeroknowledge (https://www.patreon.com/zeroknowledge) \r\n\n\nOr directly here: \r\n\nETH: 0xC0FFEE1B5083230a5154F55f253B6b6ae8F29B1a\r\n\nBTC: 1cafekGa3podM4fBxPSQc6RCEXQNTK8Zz\r\n\nZEC: t1R2bujRF3Hzte9ALHpMJvY8t5kb9ut9SpQ \r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/09a3f0fe-85fb-492d-b84a-d79713070e9e/cover.jpg"}
