Google co-founder and president of Alphabet, Sergey Brin, revealed that he is mining ether with his 10-year-old son. The 9th richest man in the world assured that the Blockchain technology is "really amazing" and highlighted the possibility of registration authentication and ZCash zero knowledge tests, which to some extent have been incorporated by Ethereum, as future technologies.
The announcement came yesterday at the Blockchain 2018 Summit, held at Sir Richard Branson's hotel, the Kasbah Tamadot. The event included a panel composed of personalities close to the cryptographic world, who discussed the possibilities and advances of disruptive technology.
Brin's last-minute attendance makes him the highest profile guest in any cryptographic event of all time.
Revealing that he is currently a cryptographic enthusiast, Brin commented that "every month, there are new and impressive applications and new transformation techniques", and emphasized that "we are really in a rebirth of technology, an exciting time in which we can see applications in almost all segments of modern society. "
This statement comes shortly after Vitalik Buterin, inventor of Ethereum, had a meeting with Google's Eric Schmidt. This has led to speculation about whether both developers could be testing the tokenized advertising, but no substantial news has been received from Google.
However, beyond Brin, Google has begun to publicly test Blockchain technology in a variety of different fields. Earlier this year, the Mountain View company revealed its intention to take advantage of the block chain to create a transparent audit platform, through a patent filed in September 2017, which details the plans to create a book of accounts "proof of manipulations.
