sarangHooray, ring member extraction is done!
-
sarangNow to run iterations for up-to-date chain reactions
-
sarangThe preprint suggested a nontrivial number of post-CT inputs, but indexed them in a way that wasn't helpful
-
sarangSo I'm getting a fresh dataset that's indexed better
-
sarangThis way we can extract meaningful data from any similarities
-
sarangI'll post my code when complete
-
sarang(not the datasets... they're too big)
-
sarangI finished an initial analysis of all deducible transactions up to block 2M
-
sarangAll deducible transactions after the confidential protocol changeover spend only pre-confidential funds, and are therefore "transition" transactions or (in limited cases) non-confidential
-
sarangThis explains the traceability preprint's claim that a small but nonzero number of post-changeover transactions are traceable: they didn't account for transition transactions
-
sarangIf you remove these from analysis in order to count only confidential transactions, the number of traceable (partially or fully) transactions drops to zero
-
sarangAdditionally, this means that the preprint's claim that guess-newest is 30% effective post-changeover is probably competely wrong, if it's only using transition transactions that can't use the gamma selection
-
sarangThe authors did update their preprint on May 29 to make some corrections, but I can email them again with this new information

-
sarangSo to clarify, the preprint's numbers on traceable transactions after the changeover isn't wrong, but I think it should mention that the identified transactions aren't confidential transactions, which is an important distinction
-
sarangThe conclusions about guess-newest are almost certainly wrong

monerobuxsarang meant to say: So to clarify, the preprint's numbers on traceable transactions after the changeover aren't wrong, but I think it should mention that the identified transactions aren't confidential transactions, which is an important distinction

saranggood bot
-
sarangTomorrow I'll run an analysis on effective anonymity sets
-
sarangMany thanks to gingeropolous for the use of a very fast machine to run this analysis!
