@cypherpunkZero #6483 Nigel struggles to hold back the emotion, which translates into facial movements and pulsations that are easily recognizable by the multisensory cameras that are scattered throughout the path from the Post Office to his home.

PanKom, the new online shop where purchases are protected by zk-proofs which makes the buyer's name anonymous, had worked well this time too. Nigel had only to go to the nearest counter, show the QR code containing the encrypted code with legitimacy to withdraw.

He took home the object of desire. Nobody knew what was in it, nobody could find out who bought it from payment, Nigel didn't even know the seller to whom he sent a shield from his Nighthawk Wallet. 

Now the object was there, with its shiny black packaging that seemed to remind him of how much he had had to suffer to get it. Above all he knew how useful it would have been from that moment on to continue his work, so useful for so much of humanity.

Nigel is a Real Time Photographer, a profession that has become increasingly important after the waves of fake news that invaded the world in the 2020s, and which necessitated a ruthless selection of information like the pictures that immortalize the most striking events.

For some months he had decided to go to the Central Asian Republic, where the social conflicts had become unsustainable and the repression of the regime as well. All digital communications of any kind and from any device were intercepted by government agencies.

The images could have been blocked and the offender prosecuted. But now Nigel had the Secret Weapon. The new GateClean Mark V smartphone is capable of capturing shots with professional quality and instantly upload them to a IPFS ZK marketplace.

Buyers - the media sites and platforms in the world - will be able to buy the images and pay for them in shielded ZEC. Without even knowing who the author is, but with the certainty of the authenticity of the source.

Cypherpunks write code.

Cypherpunks Zero deliver it to the world.
