Honestly, I've been following zk-SNARKs for a bit and I'm blown away by the potential, but it's definitely a complex topic. Your crash course might be just what this community needs to get more people on board. Looking forward to digging in.

Finally someone's shedding some light on zk-snarks. I've been trying to wrap my head around the tech, it's crazy to think this could be the key to true scalability and anonymity on the blockchain. Got any examples of current use cases where zk-snarks are making a real impact?

I took a stab at reading the course last night, got lost around lecture 3 on the mathematical proofs, anyone have a good resource for getting up to speed on that part without diving down a rabbit hole?

Just started going through the course and I gotta say, the examples really helped me grasp the concept. Can someone confirm if there's any implementation of zk-SNARKs in mainstream cryptos or is it still more of a research area? Been trying to read up on this but getting a bit lost in the math.

finally had a chance to dive into the course, still trying to wrap my head around the zero-knowledge proof aspects, seems like zk-snarks could be a game changer for anon wallets and transactions. would love to see more real world applications, anyone know of any current projects using this tech?

dude that's a solid drop, I've been following it and I gotta say, the applications for this tech are insane. You should do a follow-up on how you think it'll be implemented in mainstream projects, that's what I'm really curious about.

Just went through the course and I'm mind blown, zk-snarks are gonna be a game changer for privacy coins. Your explanation of the trusted setup process was super clear, thanks for putting this together. Definitely going to be following your work from now on, keep dropping knowledge
