Meeting will start here in about 5 minutes

OK, let's get started with the meeting!

As always, GREETINGS

hello

Hi

Salutations

On to ROUNDTABLE, where anyone is welcome to share research of interest

It was a fairly quiet week for me; I haven't been feeling well, and didn't get as much done as I had hoped unfortunately :/

That being said, I've been actively working on finalizing all the CLSAG preprint changes that resulted from the auditors' suggestions

One piece of that, the linkable anonymity proof, has proven (pun intended) much more subtle than I had expected

But now I'm quite confident that a new proof is much better

The original proof didn't go into enough detail, and on review there were some things related to oracle access that I didn't like

Does anyone have comments or questions relating to this?

Once these changes are completed, I'll post a revision to the preprint on IACR

OK, does anyone else have research topics they'd like to discuss?

Two articles coming out of the quantum research soon. One is just a background recap from the proposal, but the other is an in-depth discussion about the algorithms of interest, which I think y'all will enjoy. Drafts premature to share, but expected by next week.

Nice! Any big takeaways?

Haha it's like a 9-page article right now, let me distill it down and get back to you later xD

That's all from me. Need to hop into another meeting soon, so apologies if I disappear

OK, thanks Isthmus

I shall eagerly await the articles

Does anyone else wish to share research?

An old thing, but I recently got a link to zawy12/difficulty-algorithms #30 and I thought the difficulty adjustment algorithm might be a good one to go through if anyone statistics minded wanted a project.

It does feel like a "danger, don't touch until it breaks" subject though :)

Heh

Hello, I'm half paying attention today

Good point that it would be useful to revisit

sgp_: did you have anything you wished to discuss?

@mooo I'm intrigued

That was from the tari channel fwiw. They're looking at it now.

"Timestamps on newly-seen blocks are allowed to be in the past up to network delays. This prevents reorgs. But POW allows indefinite delays which allows reorgs of indefinite length" < something about that feels funny to me

I'll ponder on it

sarang: nope, just bumping coinbase rings as always I suppose for comment

So am I

sgp_: there was a good comment on the coinbase-only issue about the importance of weighing any implementation risks against the benefits

and I think that's entirely valid

Sure, something moneromooo and others would be more qualified to explain

All right, are there other topics to discuss from anyone?

In that case, on to ACTION ITEMS

More proofs, updates, and edits to the preprint for me

Oh, I'll be giving a remote talk on privacy tomorrow, which will be fun

And the Lelantus preprint got a major security model update that I want to investigate in more detail

Anyone else?

Looks like several people were just dropped from the channel...

Well, I suppose can adjourn early then

Thanks to everyone for attending! A quiet week, but that's ok

Logs will be posted shortly

<cankerwort> Remote talk to whom?

A group at MakerDAO, who regularly invite speakers to talk about the ecosystem

There's no compensation or anything, just a good opportunity to talk about technology and cryptography
