Episode notes

Noir will transform aztec basically into its own interstructural stack with its own privacy based a rust base privacy programming language. Guis: "We want to get to a point where privacy is the default" The 20,000 dollars we're giving away at ethta are hopefully proving that people can build things with extreme utility beyond just obviscation.

Most wouldn’t be comfortable with broadcasting their daily lives to the entire world - but that’s what happening with the transparent nature of blockchains
