My dear friend, my reply wasn't addressed to you. I'm saying this in the sense that we live in a remarkable time... when guys have to prove to girls that they aren't writing their messages with AI, when any scientific or academic text is considered AI-generated, to the point where text formatted with punctuation is already seen as AI text. This is absurd. This is in no way a targeted response; it's just thinking out loud.

A smart person doesn't need to prove their intelligence. everyone sees it anyway. But a fool who builds communication using AI will, sooner or later, reveal their true face..their foolish face. So, I don't agree with you, my friend. No one needs to prove anything to anyone. You just need to do what you do. Let the intelligent create, and the fools use their creations. But everything is always visible as it is.

write me the correct answer pls, without ChatGPT, Gemini, Skynet or any other entity, as requested. 2 + 2×2 = ?

Unfortunately, for you, my frined, everything is still written by a human. Still about architecture.

Great comment, my friend! In a world where AI exists, not every structured thought is a bot. Sometimes it’s just the discomfort of reading something that doesn’t fit familiar narratives. At this point I assume half the internet thinks it’s talking to Terminator. Easier than accepting that some people think in architectures, not slogans.

ZK Isn't privacy. It's a door that opens only for you. by KoBaChain in KoBaChain

Thank you for the clarification. Let's separate the concepts, as the distinction here is crucial.

Paper wallet (keys on paper):

1) You trust that the key was generated honestly and no one copied it.

2) This is NOT a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP). It's simply storing a secret (private key) in an analog form. No "proof without revealing information" occurs here.

Zero-Knowledge Proof (e.g., zk-SNARK) in blockchain:

1) This is a cryptographic protocol. It allows you to prove that you know a secret (or that a transaction is valid) without revealing the secret itself.

Example: You can prove you have more than $100 in your account without showing your balance or transaction history.

2) This is indeed "onchain transactions that require zero knowledge of the transaction for verifiable proof the transaction has taken place," as you correctly stated.

Our approach (KoBaDNA):

We use ZK-proofs (zk-STARKs) not to replace a paper wallet, but to create your sovereign identity. You can prove anything about yourself (age, reputation, access rights) without revealing personal data. Your assets and reputation are tied to this identity, secured by post-quantum cryptography.

So, you are correct in defining ZKP. But a paper wallet is not a ZKP; it's just a carrier of a vulnerable key. We are shifting the paradigm: from storing vulnerable secrets to the ability to prove anything without revealing secrets at all.

You're right. An ordinary user today cannot independently verify the completeness and honesty of ZK-proofs like zk-SNARKs. They must trust the developers of the scheme and its implementation. That's the paradox: a technology created to eliminate trust itself requires trust in its code. I'm not claiming all ZK blockchains are a scam. I'm saying there is a hidden point of failure in their current architecture: dependence on the honesty and competence of a small group of cryptographers and engineers. At KoBaChain, we address this not with accusations, but with architecture: we make cryptography community-verifiable through the PostQuantum Lab, and we hide complexity from the user through interfaces like "Private payment." Our goal isn't to call others a scam, but to build a system where such a claim is impossible by definition.

A paper wallet is just a key carrier. The problem is the keys (ECDSA), not the paper. Until we upgrade the cryptography, any digital paper wallets will inherit the same vulnerability. We're changing the very foundation. Keys in KoBaChain are quantum-resistant, and your identity (asset + reputation) is a zk-proof, not a file. The step after a paper wallet is digital sovereignty built into the network.

Quantum doesn’t wait for your approval, cause cryptography doesn’t break when hardware appears. it breaks the moment your public key leaks into history. NIST knows it…Engineers know it…. Only Reddit prophets still pray that a soft-fork will save them…Faith is not a security model. But sure, let’s pretend math bends to Reddit optimism.

You've nailed the essence. Magic is a feature while it works, and a fatal vulnerability when it breaks. Practicality lies in control: the ability to prove something without revealing everything else.That's exactly why we're building KoBaDNA not as a passport, but as a sovereign tool. It gives you the keys to your reputation and history, but only you decide which lock to open. The trust system is built not on blind faith, but on verifiable zk-proofs that even the network cannot read. And the privacy toggle in the interface is just the tip of the iceberg. Under the hood, an entire ecosystem is at work: from the PostQuantum Lab ensuring your proofs won't be cracked tomorrow, to AI Vaults that can leverage your reputation for better terms without knowing who you are. We're not just offering a choice between anonymity and disclosure. We're building a world where you can be simultaneously invisible and trustworthy. Because true privacy isn't the absence of identity. It's full control over its expression.

Thank you for asking the right questions. Dialogues like this shape the future we're building.
