Orchestration was obvious in hindsight. Why would you choose a Blind Computer that only has a single processing unit?

1- apps get users to store high value data with Nillion 2- users store different data across different apps 3- that data is composable and so more valuable, but also even more sensitive, stacked together. 4- blind computation lets everyone have their cake and eat it too

blind compute is pretty evocative of what it does but I’m still toying with a label for the applications that gets people to instinctively understand what kinds of cool stuff can be built with PETs - any ideas? I don’t think ‘blind apps’ gets there

people I talk to about MPC forget that the CURRENT STATUS QUO is to trust the faceless employees of a giant corpo with your data some use cases will only want to split trust across 2 node clusters, others 5, others 100 - ALL of which would be way better than where we are today
