Can someone provide a good real-world usecase for zero-knowledge proofs? I struggle a bit with grasping the usefulness of this concept.

- b_fiive 4y agozero-knowledge proofs are a means of showing you know a thing without exposing the thing itself. In the context of lurk, the "thing" is executed computation. That's useful because sometimes computation is expensive, and we'd like to run that expensive computation, anywhere, once, and be able to re-use the result.
