00:46:12 <sarang> So how's research been going with everyone lately?
00:46:25 <sarang> I miss doing fun math!
00:47:37 <moneromooo> Very... calm. I think it's mostly h4shed/zkao etc doing mathy stuff with swaps atm.
00:51:26 <sarang> Good, so nobody misses me :D
00:51:44 <moneromooo> Who are you ?
00:52:59 <moneromooo> But do feel free to come back whenever you feel like mathgeeking some more :)
10:37:22 <Inge-> sarang: ring signatures on BTC with taproot? https://github.com/jonasnick/taproot-ringsig
11:06:29 <hyc> what's the point, ringsigs only work if you can't tell the spent status of the decoys
11:59:39 <Inge-> I'm trying to parse that as well
12:56:14 <binaryFate> "It would be interesting to explore if this scheme can be more than a "Bragging Rights Signature". In any case, similar constructions can be used to implement Fidelity Bonds or Stake Certificates."
12:56:38 <binaryFate> Probably decentralized voting systems etc.
12:57:17 <binaryFate> But it doesn't seem to be aiming at being used in Bitcoin
12:58:41 <binaryFate> not for Bitcoin the monetary system. Can be used for side features like this bragging signature thing / proof of reserves
13:46:48 <gingeropolous> could it be used as a monetary system?
17:12:51 <sgp_> We should schedule an MRL meeting this Wed to discuss BP+ audits
