how does the zk proof work?

what are the advantages of this approach over utreexo where you download (to verify) but don't save the transactions?

"technically. hard fork but not actually a hardfork" wtf. seems intentionally confusingly worded. no wonder it leaked and set off alarm bells. don't blame the haters, blame the bad communicator.

Luke IS asking us to trust him. Most of us know how transactions are verified by now. the zk stuff is reaearchy and black magic.

Think about it this way: if you run wasabi wallet, you're not hosting any BRC-20s either, thanks to BIP-157.

this like a better lite client spv right?

still not a verifying node if you do this though. just a better / safer light node.

Yes. Thus, if you skip any transaction, even based on ZKP authoritarianized with some multisig, you're also not a verifying node

how is that a hard fork though?

any more than an spv node is a hard fork.

I think that's the point? It doesn't have to be.

I'm not sure there is an implementation of this yet. It would could be quite involved and self-defeating, if the zk machinery ends up being less efficient than just downloading and verifying the spam.

I mean, is Luke asking? Or is that a private chat conversation.
