A group of pseudonymous developers from DarkFi spoke with Cointelegraph about how crypto is evolving amid privacy challenges, bad actors and government oversight.
In 1848, years after Pierre Franz Proden published his classics, he gave one of the first accusations of autocratic monarchyWhat is an asset?And called for the abolition of property and the state. According to Proudhon, without social reform, all political transformation will be very limited.
His work is the key to anarchism, which, according to Stanford University's Encyclopedia of philosophy, is a basic political theory that questions authority and the proper conduct of power. Nearly two new centuries later, Proden's ideas about economy and rights still reverberate in society, and encryption tools have leveled the road for a part of the ideal society envisioned in his theory.
Passwords are likely to be very different from the original political standards, but projects to revitalize the concept of password punk are still growing rapidly. DarkFi is one such project, which is a multi-chain first-layer agreement for secret-name applications and intelligent contracts based on zero-knowledge evidence.
"DarkFi" is not a new company. This is an economic experiment of democratization, an operating system for social development, and it claims its manifesto slogan. According to DarkFi, cryptographic anarchy "is a way of using cryptographic technology to create a scale space through which power and capital monopoly cannot pass through coercive energy."
DarkFi's manifesto slogan also mentions:
The old technical approach is anti-political because it takes away everyone's right to use it and puts it in monopolistic hands. The old way reduces people to users by designing incentives to be passive and indifferent.
Behind the project is a team of anarchist programmers, mainly Amir Taak, an early BTC developer who once led the Bitcoin blackmail wallet project. When I tried to introduce BTC in detail to the local community in 2015, I retreated from the password industry and went to Yemen to crack down on Iran and the Islamic State of Yemen (ISIS).
In an interview with Cointelegraph, a group of pseudonym DarkFi developers mentioned the Testnet project and how the password market continues to grow in privacy tests, bad actors, regulators and politics. For clear consideration, this interview is written and extracted.
Cointelegraph (CT): what is DarkFi? What kind of problems does it overcome in password space?
DarkFi (Df):DarkFi is a community street, a fitness exercise that attempts to create user empowerment system software so that it can maintain basic human rights, such as privacy, the right to freedom of expression and the right to interact without an intermediary. Some of these operating systems are the first layer of block chain technology with privacy under the default setting, with data encryption group and DM peer-to-peer IRC messaging system, and even decentralized cooperation tools for organizations, task managers and so on.
The password interior space has lost its original password punk values and compromised to the national work pressure through the implementation of the ban and / or the implementation of side doors, so the project can continue to exist. Personal privacy has become a taboo, which in the current situation often leads to the cessation of violence in the name of full transparency and prevention of illegal activities. The password will be broken into 2-RegFi, cannot be used with anchor bolts turned off, and its DarkFi, a truly arbitrary, decentralized and unaudited case. This is what we are trying to solve, if you like, to fight back to preserve the rights of the primary militia, not to make a profit by law, but to serve individuals in the golden dishes of American states and well-known companies.
CT: what are the first things to focus on when developing DarkFi, anarchist cryptographic corporate vision, or multi-chain application requirements for foundation beam solutions?
Df:With DarkFi, they want to create secret names and secure data encryption. Just as Monero and Zash have a real sense of money, DarkFi is mainly used for application / intelligence contracts. We all feel that there is a huge market and demand for decentralized and anonymous financial applications. So far, none of this is very likely.
The password interior space has lost its original password punk values and succumbed to national work pressure through the imposition of a ban and / or the implementation of side doors, so the project can survive. Personal privacy has become a taboo.
I have always believed that, with default personal privacy and maximum group polarization, we will enable people to operate in a safer ecosystem of space and time. Everyone is also inspired by the Richard Stallman and gpl protocol movement, which is why (unlike most other data encryption products) DarkFi thoroughly uses the GNU AGPL license, and everyone follows the development concept of the gpl protocol.
CT: how can encryption algorithms help to create a balanced natural environment between individual freedom and government supervision while avoiding all kinds of bad behavior?
Df:The purpose of the encryption algorithm is to enable users to "hide things in conspicuous areas". Control, government departments or various aspects contradict it because it enables third parties to "sniff" what is inside. I should not give up the arbitrary manipulation of myself, especially for government departments, which should enhance the ability of individuals, not the other way around. By using these technologies, users can protect themselves from all kinds of bad actors who try to track them to exploit him.
What kind of characters will CT:Web3 play in social privacy and politics in the future?
Df:At this stage, what is called "Web3" is becoming a monitoring tool misused by more and more enemies and senior officials. If such a thing persists, there will be almost no "future personal privacy" in the whole society, politics will become a dictatorship, and every user and individual must strictly observe discipline so as not to be regarded as unpopular by the oppressors.
CT: as passwords become mainstream and therefore more and more political, how does it maintain consistency rather than core principles?
Df:I feel that the whole Severpunk grassroots entrepreneurial fitness movement has long since disappeared in the early days of the Bitcoin era. It is becoming more bourgeois and may not be "more political". In fact, in most projects, they seem to do everything they can to reduce politics and increase "diversity and diversity". They are not well-known and just succumb to the blind agenda. In the password space, there are too few political projects that attract my attention.
CT: are there any future political developments in passwords?
Df:Crypto is not a flamboyant technology. At first, the password was a parallel language expression between the general and the king to frighten the opponent. Only publishers and recipients can see them clearly. Passwords have been used in ancient times and in medieval Europe, and deciphering them promoted the development of computers in the last century. They have always been very necessary.
In this era, communication, work and payment are the prerequisites for all social development that takes place behind the display screen. The other end of the platform is monitoring and monitoring.
"at this stage, what is called 'Web3'' is gradually becoming a monitoring tool misused by each other and senior officials."
When it appears in the computer, the enemy of the password is overseas. Now the opponent is close at hand; Crypto has created a parallel and safe interior space that far exceeds the strict regulation, ban and policy of the state. The password is not to resist politics; it is used to deter your enemies. My enemy Crypto is concerned with monitoring and surveillance, while the basic principles of Crypto are not easy to give in at a random level.
What's the next step in the CT:DarkFi route map?
Df:We just released the initial test network, so we asked the community to check the UX and find that it was not sorted out correctly, so that we could iteratively update and optimize it. For future plans, we are expanding in several directions when it comes to blockchain technology. I hope you can also educate you about the necessity and philosophy of the gpl agreement. It's just that open source systems can't solve the problem at all. Developers and founders must stop compromising with large and medium-sized technology companies and use data encryption systems to gain use value in the project and maintain territorial sovereignty.
