So those researchers should be satisfied customers now! 16:16:23 jeffro256: does this "full-time" work ob jamtis etc, imply the work on coinbase is paused, or still "ready when we are" / WIP 16:16:49 More importantly, the mathematical formula is necessary to develop improvements to the decoy selection algorithm. 16:17:55 And it can be used by wallets that do not use wallet2 to check that their decoy selection algorithm does not deviate from the standard. If it does deviate, then privacy is worse for their users. 16:18:23 perfect 16:18:51 can we introduce any fake delays on this one to distract from merge delays? 16:18:54 i cant think of any 16:20:57 Here are the docs that jeffro wrote: https://github.com/jeffro256/monero/blob/decoy_selection_md/docs/DECOY_SELECTION.md 16:21:05 semi-related: Rucknium is isthmus' proposed work in their closed ccs proposal still required? 16:21:41 Here's my draft of the mathematical formula based on the docs: https://www.overleaf.com/read/ndbtkwrbrdjq 16:22:16 jeffro has also helped/helping boog900 with their work on consensus rules 16:22:25 isthmus has given me some of what he said he would do.

All wallets would have to upgrade, so there would not be multiple wallet2 decoy selection algorithms being used by users. 18:41:16 i missed d.
