BLOG: How Compiler Risk Exposes Gaps in Adversarial Thinking Among Today’s Crypto Founders – CryptoAnalyst

In his Turing Award Lecture Reflections on Trusting Trust in 1984, Ken Thompson explained, for the first time, an attack vector against open source code that allowed introducing perfectly undetectable backdoors by compromising compilers. The attack vector can be explained in simple terms for the layman to understand it, which I will do in a moment. What makes it of particular interest, however, is that today there is widespread ignorance of its nature among the founders/creators of cryptocurrencies that aim to be decentralized and private. As delicately and non-offensively as possible, we’ve got to ask ourselves an important question. Can the minds of those who do not understand a well-documented attack vector like compiler risk, design a censorship resistant and private crypto economic system? That’s a question every reader must, after careful reading, decide for themselves.

BLOG: Understanding FHE Grade Private Smart Contracts: What They Are (Dero) and What They Are Not (Eth L2s) – CryptoAnalyst

Private smart contracts are one of those poorly defined things that some are rushing to turn into a buzzword before most people learn what the term actually means. As with everything else, the best way to understand something vague is to look at practical examples. In the case of smart contracts, the 2 extremes on the opposite sides of the privacy spectrum are Ethereum and Dero.
