During the coffee breaks and dinner conversations, everyone I talked to about these things echoed my frustrations.
In 2024, a speaker from Intuit spoke about their distributed key generation protocol. It involved multiplying a number by a hash. They did not elaborate on whether that's just a bigint operation or an elliptic curve group operation. @sophieschmieg was like, "Why would they do that? What if they set it to zero?" and the backchatter was full of "Why are the tax people rolling their own crypto?"
So, like, I'm not super worried about adtech rotting the RWC community.
