Partisian Blockchain Provides Privacy, Security

Kurt Nielson believes the combination of multi-party computation (MPC) and blockchain technology is a winner and Partisia Blockchain is the culmination of that vision.

Partisia Blockchain is a Web 3.0 platform built for trust, transparency and privacy. It is privacy, along with security, that have to be paramount if cryptocurrencies are to be adopted, and it is MPC and blockchain that will make it happen.

Mr. Nielson has been an economist for more than 15 years, and for him, the breakthrough occurred when he found a way to use MPC to solve for privacy concerns. Blockchain hooked him from the beginning, he admitted. Like MPC it is a distributed system and had solved issues related to consensus and privacy.

“We realized we were solving tasks they were solving but in a better way but they were solving privacy in a better way,” Mr. Nielson said. “There must be some kind of merger between these two technologies. That’s what kept us busy these last three or four years – merging these technologies.”

MPC is decentralized cryptography and solves for privacy in a fundamental way, Mr. Nielson said. A network of nodes are computing but in such a way that the individual nodes know nothing of the data they are computing on. It was like inventing a distributed computer that could work on encrypted data.

At the beginning even rudimentary calculations took painfully long, but thanks to many improvements systems are incredibly efficient. Blockchain serves as a type of state machine that keeps track of what is being shared among the many computing nodes.

“What is happening on the individual node is encrypted but the communication on what should happen is communicated through the blockchain,” Mr. Nielson said.

There are many exciting applications for Partisia, beginning with serving as the traditional market trustee like an auctioneer, Mr. Nielson said. That person analyzes bids, selects a winner and coordinates payment. Those processes can now be completed by software at a much faster pace.

Full analytics can also be performed on health care data while ensuring privacy. This can improve the quality and responsiveness of care. You will prevent a lot of diseases and injury if you can identify issues before hand. There are also research applications where companies in competition with each other can securely contribute important data to a great good without it being compromised.

The same principles can be applied to credit scoring. Competing financial institutions can access a larger pool of data to better score an applicant without sharing proprietary information. Such a system can also replace dark pools which sell off-exchange.

What Partisia Blockchain is doing is eliminating the middleman. They can also do that so the individual can benefit from the data economy instead of letting Facebook and Google hog all the profits.

“You can actually now keep control of your data from the very beginning and you can be part of the data economy and sell your data,” Mr. Nielson said.

That awareness of folks being able to monetize their data is likely higher in the EU than North America due the GDPR, Mr. Nielson suggested. The newest regulations include penalties and are aligned with anti-trust legislation.

“People on the street grasp that if you don’t pay for product you are part of the product,” Mr. Neilson said.

There are some interesting factors at play as these concepts occur, Mr. Nielson noted. While those aligning with crypto’s libertarian roots want complete anonymity that is unrealistic. There needs to be a way to include KYC procedures and track fraudulent behavior.

Partisia Blockchain keeps both sides happy.

“The point is you can do this without revealing the data, using MPC as well as other technologies that are doing more or less the same,” Mr. Nielson explained. “You can work on this data in ways that are not revealing and are still able to be worked on down to the single transaction if needed.”

“You can build all these things you know from the existing economy but maybe you can do it in a better way because now you can prevent data from being shared with participants in the system while still being used,” Mr. Nielson concluded. “It’s not just about new security measures that are solving for privacy in a new way. It is also a system that is opening up new ways of collaboration.”

Have mymonero some problems ?

Hello, this is user pandher from BTCtalk. I have been a follower and holder of Monero since 2014 when the first bitmonero thread appeared on BTCtalk. Since that thread i knew Monero was the only one worth following. The professionalism and honesty of the dev team was a rare sight in that shitcoin madness. Checking the Monero reddit page and speculation thread had become a morning habit with me. I rarely missed reading both of these in these 2 years. I saw the community grow from a few hundred to a few thousand. It was so good to watch, to witness. Although i was mostly non vocal i felt myself as a part of this community. Reading AP's posts about the new world domination were exciting. But today i bid farewell to this wonderful community. All my Monero have been stolen Since zhalox posted about his lost Monero, i woke up from my slumber and created a cold wallet using GingerAle's paranoid method. Only to find out all my 4 MyMonero accounts were wiped on 3 september 2016. I...

Dove le molecole smettono di Urtarsi: viaggio nella coerenza Quantistica della Vita

C’era un momento, nella storia della biologia, in cui la vita veniva immaginata come un enorme tavolo da biliardo. Molecole che si urtano. Collisioni casuali. Reazioni che accadono perché, semplicemente, qualcosa colpisce qualcos’altro nel modo giusto. Funzionava. Più o meno. Poi, lentamente, qualcosa ha iniziato a incrinarsi. Non perché quella visione fosse sbagliata, ma perché era incompleta. Troppo rumorosa. Troppo cieca. Troppo… inefficiente per spiegare ciò che osservavamo davvero. Perché dentro le cellule accadevano cose strane. Troppo veloci. Troppo precise. Troppo coordinate. Come se, invece di urtarsi alla cieca, le particelle… sapessero. Immagina di entrare dentro una cellula. Non troverai caos. Non troverai disordine. Troverai elettroni che scorrono come una valuta invisibile, scambiata con una precisione che sfida l’intuizione. Non saltano semplicemente da una molecola all’altra: a volte attraversano barriere che, secondo la fisica classica, non dovrebbero poter...

Ingegneria del contesto per l'intelligenza artificiale avanzata

Quando si parla di IA generativa, il dibattito pubblico si concentra spesso su due aspetti: la potenza del modello e la qualità dei prompt. Tuttavia, tra questi due poli si trova un'area meno discussa ma cruciale: il contesto . Non stiamo parlando solo di "informazioni extra" per il modello, ma dell'architettura logica e operativa che determina il modo in cui l'intelligenza artificiale interpreta, collega e utilizza i dati per fornire risultati accurati e coerenti. È qui che entra in gioco l'ingegneria del contesto : l'arte (e la scienza) di progettare, organizzare e ottimizzare il contesto di un Large Language Model (LLM) per guidarlo verso risposte più affidabili, precise e utili. Perché l'ingegneria del contesto è importante Un LLM non "capisce" il mondo come gli esseri umani. Elabora modelli statistici in base agli input che riceve e ai dati di training. Il contesto è la combinazione di istruzioni, esempi, dati di supporto e rifer...
