Numerai comes across as fraudulently abusing cryptographic buzzwords like homomorphic encryption https://medium.com/@Numerai/encrypted-data-for-efficient-mar...

Yes, they still haven't replied to a question about this.

Based off that article they don't seem to understand the homomorphic in homomorphic encryption.

The mix of technical BS and seemingly expert advisers is weird.

Numerai uses order-preserving encryption, which is homomorphic. The algos are trained on the ciphertext itself.
