10:44:52 <fRit_^> hello, I'm struggling with monerod ;) What is the syntax of this:--tx-proxy tor,127.0.0.1:9050,10 in .conf?
16:00:56 <sarang> Reminder that there is a research meeting in #monero-research-lab today at 17:00 UTC (an hour from now)
17:39:05 <luigi1111w> selsta I will be out for the weekend starting tomorrow afternoon. Are we close to tag?
17:39:56 <selsta> yes, theoretically we can tag today, do we have someone backup in case we have to retag tomorrow?
17:41:18 <luigi1111w> I can tag tomorrow too, just not after about 24 hours from now
17:41:53 <selsta> moneromooo: can you PR the remaining patch?
18:42:13 <moneromooo> sure
18:45:22 <moneromooo> selsta: done, I also added a locking patch which I think fixes the 6555 crash but I did not get confirmation yet.
18:46:35 <selsta> thanks
18:46:45 <selsta> now we need a review then luigi can tag :D
18:56:55 <selsta> both PRs look good but would prefer if someone else also reviews
20:46:57 <tazmanian> Hey guys, I have a question: I am looking at crypto_ops::generate_key_derivation and I see this line: ge_mul8(&point3, &point2);
20:48:08 <tazmanian> I am cross checking this with Zero To Monero but this operation is not mentioned
20:48:37 <tazmanian> It all works fine, but why do we do this extra operation when doing the key derivation?
20:49:47 <tazmanian> I am currently looking to build an OpenCL blockchain tx scanner for Monero (will be open sourced)
20:49:59 <tazmanian> no guarantees I will ever finish though :-)
20:50:24 <selsta> you might also want to ask in #monero-research-lab if no one answers here
20:52:46 <tazmanian> Yep, it is not a critical thing, it's mostly out of curiosity
21:24:07 <sarang> mul8 operations push you into the prime curve subgroup
21:28:59 <tazmanian> aren't the points already in the prime curve subgroup?
21:31:12 <tazmanian> or is this a precaution against points possibly being out of the prime subgroup?
21:35:59 <sarang> Yeah, tx points could be in arbitrary subgroups
21:36:16 <sarang> If specified externally
21:36:53 <UkoeHB_> tazmanian: page 37 footnote 7
21:37:24 <UkoeHB_> in the 2nd ed
21:38:14 <tazmanian> hah
21:39:04 <tazmanian> good point, I totally missed the footnote, I was sure I checked thoroughly :-)
21:39:16 <UkoeHB_> yeah there are a lot of footnotes lol
21:39:31 <sarang> It's one of those things that matters in some protocols, not in others, but is a requirement for proofs
21:43:14 <sarang> UkoeHB_: aren't composite-order curves delightful :D
21:45:17 <UkoeHB_> idk what bernstein was thinking
21:45:55 <tazmanian> performance?
21:46:28 <moneromooo> Probably the same thing Newton was thinking when he stopped at Newtionian mechanics.
21:46:39 <moneromooo> Not enough giants before.
