What metaverse aims to be is to make sense of data. Estonia started their development for the X-Road (A cryptographic has functions for government related functions) back in 2001, and it was slowly released, and developed until now.
This is an overview on what it looks like-
The idea is simple- 1 Certification center to confirm your ID, and that ID would then be used through some form of decentralization of services for statutory agencies that talks to each other. The issue they tried to eradicate is intra-agency coordination. Allegedly, the system saves a user approximately ~15 minutes per query, and saving Estonian government 820 years worth of work every year.
Now, this could mean that the services were slow, or very slow in the first place- and it is possible that it is accumulating the saved minutes per query.
In terms of services, maybe this Figure would look somewhat familiar- especially on the 'contract' bits.

What this means is that- the world could go flatter, and this is the next step for 'globalization'. Now, in terms of metaverse, it would be ideal if most participating countries were to adopt similar system, therefore- all countries would be able to coordinate their information with each other.
We know there are already systems in placed for this- such as international banks, and immigrations. However, each countries in general are working in silos. Metaverse allows them to work in an integrated manner through smart contracts. This could help issues such as double taxation, and enabling the system to pin-point individuals who are susceptible to a perpetrated crime.
There are also questions on how metaverse could be different from shopping sites such as eBay or Amazon- it's an exploratory question and if I had to take a calculated guess, we'd be looking at new ways to interpret consumer data, worldwide. What I can see is that- the metaverse can make the barriers to entry for companies worldwide to be able to sell their products and services easier.
This is just my 2 Sats' worth on how I see countries would adopt the metaverse.

I've read numerous articles and guides, but I still don't understand it.
If you have experience and have done it before, I'll pay you to help me.

Even if all current coins will go to 0 instantly now (Which is extremely unlikely by all means...) then it wouldn't change the fact that the mere awareness that was globally developed around the idea of decentralization and the blockchain vision will sooner or later lead to the singularity of man kind. Possibly within not too many decades.
Price being such a main and discussed topic in these proportions shows us how very little people give attention to what it's really all about...
What are you trying to achieve? Prosperity? Then be patient, the geniuses of the planet are working for us. Ever since I saw bitcoin is being used to currency alongside fiat on some internet alleys before there were any exchanges for it. As a young teen I knew there's power here that can not be possibly killed, nor practically be set stagnated since code can be forked... And the code matters...

I would use my garage door opener as a backup to a smart lock without an outside knob, except that it would be disabled by a power outage. Also, garage door remotes have notoriously bad security. There are also garage door openers that have battery backup, but they use lead-acid AGM cells which turn to trash pretty quickly.

Is it the same for Ethereum keystore files that can be unlocked with a password?
I've been reading papers about cryptographic voting and I've noticed that very few recent papers talk about write-in candidates in depth. Most that mention it only mention it and do not appear to attempt anything innovative with the concept. I do searches like "e-voting write in" and "cryptographic voting write-in" and find very few papers focusing on this, despite the fact that every major election I have participated in has had many races with a write in option.
Has work in this field stagnated or am I just not looking for it correctly?
I created a simple cipher that attempts to take advantage of the chaotic and unpredictable nature of dynamical systems by converting a message into an integer and iterating over a generated algebraic(ish) function.
Predicting the behavior of dynamical systems is hard enough even when you know the function, but with the function being hidden (as the 'key') it feels like an impossible task.
How would you go about attacking such a cipher?

Edit: Here is the code on GitHub: https://github.com/Ordinary1729/simba/blob/main/simba.py. I made a website with an implementation of the cipher and thought a Caesar cipher of the url decipher.me was clever, but in retrospect it just looks like a sketchy link...
Is there a way I could modify the memory strips and with working CSM Disable? PolarisBiosEditor breaks Cryptographic signature so I can't really use W11 which needs CSM Disabled and SecureBoot Disabled. Anyone knows another way? (SRBMiner?)
Hi,
In the last few years, I have been interested in cryptography. I took courses at the university on the subject, as well as MOOCs (Coursera Cyprtography I) or reading books. This allowed me to learn about cryptographic primitives and building blocks but not so much about protocols such as TLS or Signal protocol. There is sometimes a brief description with a general overview of how the protocol works and its security properties but nothing on how we can reason and proves these properties. After some research, I found this article https://galois.com/blog/2021/05/who-is-verifying-their-cryptographic-protocols/ or this one https://bblanche.gitlabpages.inria.fr/publications/BlanchetETAPS12.pdf and it seems that proving properties of protocols uses techniques similar to verification of software with software prover. I would like to know if any of you have good resources (courses, books,…) to recommend for learning about these topics. Thank you.
When you encrypt a message, it gets put through some kind of cryptographic hash function that is completely deterministic - put the same message in, you get the same hash. If every step in the process to create the hash is known, why is it so hard to simply walk backwards through the process to obtain the initial message?
Hey everyone, I wonder if there is a cryptographic primitive that allows one to proof that they have a set of values (thousands of public keys in my case) such that another agent can verify that their set of values sufficiently overlaps. Primarily in the case were the majority of values will overlap, but not 100%.
EDIT: For my use case it would be important that the prover cannot provide a proof of a subset that is smaller than what the verifier deems acceptable. The prover would be able to provide a proof of a larger set, as long as it intersects with the verifiers set to a minimum degree.
I'm looking into cryptographic accumulators but they seem to mainly deal with 1-item membership proofs. A union of accumulators Is quickly mentioned in this paper but it is not very well explained: https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/1188.pdf
Thank you!
