I said previously: "No tech from blockchain dates later than 2001. Crypto added nothing." https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/115810916143765604

Both here and on bsky, I got crypto fans saying "ah ah ah zero knowledge proofs!" These are indeed used in Monero (money laundering coin) and assorted failed money laundering coins!

However, claiming *credit* to cryptocurrency for ZKPs seems implausible.

I'm actually looking into this and I can find shit that isn't proposals for other failed money laundering coins.

Closest a proponent got was, well, cryptocurrency *funded* it. (No examples, just the blank statment.)

So I'm asking those claiming cryptocurrency drove ZK proof research and uses: which papers with which effects and which resulting products are you thinking of? With checkable details. Thanks.
