When Tari finally comes out, will you dump your Monero to buy it? Will others?

sarang: did you take a look at the "tracable monero" thing? Wondering if there was any interesting novelty in theyr cryptographic scheme

I think everyone here knows that most Monero exchange withdrawals and desposits are traceable (Breaking Monero - poisoned outputs). How does it feel to go out and lie to people that they are private and then earn less than holding BTC on your bag?

<Angad Mutha> Does Monero core have asynchronous core architecture? If not, does it make sense to have one? Could be the next CCS proposal idea..

<sgp> @Angad Mutha Monero uses a pretty traditional "linear" blockchain structure because its security is best tested and understood

<Angad Mutha> @sgp Hi :), I understand the blockchain is a singly linked list and blocks can only be attached one at a time... by asynchronous core I mean't upgrading the Monero core for better faster performance in terms of peer to peer networking. For the next CCS idea, I was thinking...Instead of adding another feature, we should bulletproof what we've got.

the networking code is already asynchronous

<Angad Mutha> Cool

That has been there for a while

Anyone in here applied yet?

xmrhaelan[m]: there was an MRL application, which is why it's under consideration

but they are SO SLOW

xmrhaelan: MAGIC is talking with them Fri

Why are you here? For the tech? Then you should be off at Zcash instead of trying to con newbies into a coin that doesn't work. For the money? If you put your money in BTC or ETH you would have been better off. For the magical crypto friends? Monero leadership laughs from losers like that. Find yourself more healthy realationships that don't laugh at you when they steal your money.

According to the README (github.com/monero-project/monero#using-tor), it seems like only the transactions sent from local RPC to the daemon get propagated through Tor. I am unable to understand why this choice was made/what its advantages may be. One advantage I can think of is that it would prevent a MITM in the circuit established between

the sender and the receiver.

Also does the daemon relay the transaction only to other Tor nodes or do they relay information to all nodes in the Monero network?

IPv4 scarcity is indeed a pro here. Also speed of block propagation, mostly for miners.

With --tx-proxy, a new tx is sent only to a tor peer. This shields a new tx's origin.

That's interesting, but there should be some point in time when it gets relayed outside Tor as well right? If the tx only remains amongst tor peers, would there be a majority consensus?

AFAIK, this is only for txes originating from the first node (ie, via RPC).

Any pointers on where I can read more about this?

Will be really helpful :)
