Most people don't use subaddresses. Look at these replies

Granted they are mostly people using the wallet for the first time, but it's still interesting to see

Should we prioritize their flow in the UI?
-
sgp_
I partially think that disposable subaddresses (single-use) should be the default, and users need to manually create "multi-use" addresses. They're all multi-use but you get the point
-
binaryFate
sgp_ I like that very much, maximizes privacy-preserving behavior with default easy UX
-
midipoet
how "bad" for privacy is subaddress (8...) reuse? is it essentially the same vulnerability as main (4...) address reuse?
-
sgp_
midipoet: ideally yeah
-

<cankerwort> As in the UX could be that the user presses "Generate One Time Address", the wallet takes subaddress indexed at like 200. If the user selects "Generate Multi-Use Address" the user gets a sequential subaddress
-
xmrmatterbridge
<cankerwort> That way they get infinite one time addresses and a reasonable amount of multi-use addresses
-
xmrmatterbridge
<cankerwort> Well not infinite, I understand there is some limit
-
sgp_
there's no reason not to start at 1 or whatever it starts at
-
sgp_
we can use even/odd for that but that's a stab in the dark and assuming equal use
-
xmrmatterbridge
<cankerwort> Even/odd makes more sense yeah. No artificial limitation that way.
-
sgp_
even so that cuts efficiency up to ~50%. hopefully the disposable ones are used more by most
-
midipoet
does the wallet keep a log of which address indexes it has already created?
-
asymptotically
not sure about a log, but it does keep track. you get a new one after calling create_address if you've used it or not
-
sgp_
midipoet: the wallet does, but on-chain (if you resorted from seed in another wallet) it would only show the latest used

is that fortnite one actually for reals?
-
selsta
it was for the merch store
-
selsta
but they removed it again lol
-
sarang
IIRC the Fortnite team said it came from the payment processor and hadn't been otherwise approved by them, and they chose to remove it
-
selsta
I think it was a bit more complicated
-
sarang
orly
-
selsta
a lot of outrage with other people spamming the Epic Games CEO on Twitter why their coin does not get added
-
selsta
also crypto news sites claimed it is a partnership with Monero
-
sarang
naturally
-
sarang
I'm sure a lot of high-quality reporting there =p
-
selsta
also most likely that someone accepted it without fully knowing what monero is in the first place

Their streaming stuff is quite well done, especially multicast.

needbrrrrrrr90: indeed, it's reasonably high quality and super low latency
