speaking of crypto stuff and smart contracts, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption is some really cool stuff

@chjara@snowdin.town HOWEVER i think this is v cool to explain what a homomorphism is???
@koakuma I'll jump in, since I think the explanations are unnecessarily complex.
All computation you do is just a lot of addition and multiplication. There is a type of encryption in which two encrypted numbers added to each other are the same as if you added the numbers first and encrypted the result. Same for multiplication. Mathematically this property of encryption is called a (ring) homomorphism, thus the name, but the concept in this case is very simple.
