Max Hillebrand - The Proven Work of Cypherpunks - POW Summit 2023
Proof-of-Work Summit
Max Hillebrand traces how cypherpunk primitives (signatures, blind signatures, hash functions) enabled trustless systems: from Chaum's e-cash to Bitcoin's proof-of-work rate-limiting of anonymous database writes. Recent advances include Schnorr aggregation, discrete log contracts, and zero-knowledge proofs. Adoption requires removing cognitive friction so privacy becomes automatic by default, as i
