15:43:19 <sarang> good bot
15:43:53 <dEBRUYNE> ty
16:54:43 <sarang> Meeting will start here in about 5 minutes
16:59:30 <sarang> OK, let's get started with the meeting!
16:59:38 <sarang> As always, GREETINGS
16:59:41 <sarang> hello
17:00:25 <jwinterm> o/
17:00:26 <ArticMine> Hi
17:01:25 <Isthmus> Salutations
17:02:55 <sarang> On to ROUNDTABLE, where anyone is welcome to share research of interest
17:03:23 <sarang> 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 :/
17:03:56 <sarang> That being said, I've been actively working on finalizing all the CLSAG preprint changes that resulted from the auditors' suggestions
17:04:14 <sarang> One piece of that, the linkable anonymity proof, has proven (pun intended) much more subtle than I had expected
17:04:29 <sarang> But now I'm quite confident that a new proof is much better
17:05:54 <sarang> 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
17:06:17 <sarang> Does anyone have comments or questions relating to this?
17:06:33 <sarang> Once these changes are completed, I'll post a revision to the preprint on IACR
17:08:45 <sarang> OK, does anyone else have research topics they'd like to discuss?
17:10:24 <Isthmus> 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.
17:10:52 <sarang> Nice! Any big takeaways?
17:11:28 <Isthmus> Haha it's like a 9-page article right now, let me distill it down and get back to you later xD
17:11:59 <Isthmus> That's all from me. Need to hop into another meeting soon, so apologies if I disappear
17:12:11 <sarang> OK, thanks Isthmus
17:12:20 <sarang> I shall eagerly await the articles
17:12:53 <sarang> Does anyone else wish to share research?
17:13:36 <moneromooo> An old thing, but I recently got a link to https://github.com/zawy12/difficulty-algorithms/issues/30 and I thought the difficulty adjustment algorithm might be a good one to go through if anyone statistics minded wanted a project.
17:14:01 <moneromooo> It does feel like a "danger, don't touch until it breaks" subject though :)
17:14:21 <sarang> Heh
17:14:22 <sgp_> Hello, I'm half paying attention today
17:14:33 <sarang> Good point that it would be useful to revisit
17:14:58 <sarang> sgp_: did you have anything you wished to discuss?
17:15:10 <Isthmus> @mooo I'm intrigued
17:16:05 <moneromooo> That was from the tari channel fwiw. They're looking at it now.
17:16:30 <Isthmus> "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
17:16:59 <Isthmus> I'll ponder on it
17:17:06 <sgp_> sarang: nope, just bumping coinbase rings as always I suppose for comment
17:17:27 <ArticMine> So am I
17:19:06 <sarang> sgp_: there was a good comment on the coinbase-only issue about the importance of weighing any implementation risks against the benefits
17:19:15 <sarang> and I think that's entirely valid
17:19:55 <sgp_> Sure, something moneromooo and others would be more qualified to explain
17:23:53 <sarang> All right, are there other topics to discuss from anyone?
17:25:30 <sarang> In that case, on to ACTION ITEMS
17:25:42 <sarang> More proofs, updates, and edits to the preprint for me
17:26:02 <sarang> Oh, I'll be giving a remote talk on privacy tomorrow, which will be fun
17:26:35 <sarang> And the Lelantus preprint got a major security model update that I want to investigate in more detail
17:26:44 <sarang> Anyone else?
17:27:00 <sarang> Looks like several people were just dropped from the channel...
17:29:14 <sarang> Well, I suppose can adjourn early then
17:29:25 <sarang> Thanks to everyone for attending! A quiet week, but that's ok
17:29:33 <sarang> Logs will be posted shortly
17:36:12 <xmrmatterbridge> <cankerwort> Remote talk to whom?
17:36:58 <sarang> A group at MakerDAO, who regularly invite speakers to talk about the ecosystem
17:37:16 <sarang> There's no compensation or anything, just a good opportunity to talk about technology and cryptography
