<ian.niculescu> just lerned Hal Finney was the second dev hired by Phil Zimmermann

<ian.niculescu> phil is going to talk at monerotopia

Perhaps an interesting discussion from a Free Market perspective:

What is the best way to cold storage monero?

Do we have something like seedsigner of bitcoin?

probably not using something that screams "crypto!"

<selsta> "kinghat: for monero? armv8 is..." <- thanks selsta. ya i have a new vps that only gives me the info of "aarch64" but i found they are using "Ampere Altra" cpus which are armv8.2.... (full message at libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/do…e3b15ec472c786e89af4beac8456c3d2143)

s///

is there a signifier for armv8 to tell if its 32 or 64bit? or does it matter? like can aarch64 run both 32 and 64 armv8 apps?

Hello, I'm currently having trouble verifying how ring signatures work. I'm currently reading the referenced paper "Traceable Ring Signature" by Fujisaki and Suzuki. But I'm stuck on the signing protocol (page 10) on the step 4 which picks random z_j, c_j \in Z_q on step 4.b but later discards z_j when generating z_i

And also how is power to a fraction works on multiplicative group elements? (Page 10, step 1 on Signing protocol)

:\

brick #monero-research-lounge is where you will most likely get a good answer

merope, thanks

lots of monero channels

cold storage? why not use... a deck of cards?

now that's a meme I haven't seen in a long time... a long time...

lovely

couldn't resist

More financial censorship

kinghat[m]: i think there is 32bit compatibility, not sure

👌

<sethforprivacy> "(Obviously someone else can also..." <- I'm taking a look at this now, unless someone beats me to it. Will shoot a pr when done

<reeemuru[m]> "I'm taking a look at this now..." <- Awesome!

I think I found a typo in seth's blog:

> Monero is, in fact, the most scalable cryptocurrency when used privately, and even when compared with default, transparent Bitcoin usage, **it’s** transactions are only ~3-4x the size of Bitcoin transactions today. Monero’s transactions were much larger in the past, but the Monero community, researchers, and developers have worked hard to improve the efficiency of Monero, bringing transactions down from ~13kb when RingCT

was first introduced to ~1.4kb today.

Doesn't `it's` mean it is? If I am correct then you might want to correct the error.

The same error is repeated later:

> Monero’s hard-forks enable it to constantly improve and adapt **it’s** privacy protocol (among other things) to stay ahead in the privacy arms race

And later again:

> Monero’s approach to mining is almost entirely unique in the cryptocurrency world, as **it’s** community has maintained a core ethos of ASIC-resistance from the inception of the project.

it's can also be possessive, not just a conjunction or a plural.

* i"t's" can also be possessive, not just a conjunction or a plural.

* "It's" can also be possessive, not just a conjunction or a plural.

* "It's" can also be possessive, not just a contraction or a plural.

Good catch, seems I didn't pay attention in English class well enough 🙂

my iphone is so intelligent that it knows which version of "its" is grammatically correct, and will always use the wrong one to make me look stupid

lol

Thanks xxfedexx, fixed all occurrences here: sethforprivacy/sethforprivacy.com 4de4088

<sethforprivacy> "Good catch, seems I didn't pay..." <- I think it's harder to see for native English speakers

* to see that error for native

I'll use that excuse 😅

I love this idea
