<s​hortwavesurfer2009:monero.social> ELI5: seed offsets. Mysu is telling me a seed offset is required for polyseed but optional for legacy

In case of polyseed I think it is the word that is used to embed the restore height

^ shortwavesurfer2009

No

ofrnxmr: Could you elaborate what it is then?

seed offset is a passphrase, in the case of mysu it is also the password for the wallet

Ah I see, I got confused by the optional term, because seed offset is indeed used in the CLI too as passphrase function

Polyseed had a bug where it would generate invalid spend keys (iirc) and required a passphrase. Mysu enforced a passphrase

You csn restore wallets from feather to mysu and vice versa, because they both support psssphrases. Cake doesnt support passphrases, so cake's polyseed wallets cant be restored via polyseed in mysu, but they can be restored in feather

Tobtoht or mrcyjanek can explain properly

<s​hortwavesurfer2009:monero.social> Does anybody know if cake is aware that there is a bug and that an offset passphrase should be enforced?

<s​hortwavesurfer2009:monero.social> I know I was not aware of that, and now I'm quite glad I did not use cake to generate a polyseed

<s​hortwavesurfer2009:monero.social> And cn that polyseed bug be fixed or is it a spec issue and cant be repaired and all wallets will gorever need an offset to fix that bug

<s​hortwavesurfer2009:monero.social> And can that polyseed bug be fixed or is it a spec issue and cant be repaired and all wallets will forever need an offset to fix that bug

<r​4v3r23:monero.social> i dont know about cakes implementation, but anonero had that issue and tobtoht fixed it

<r​4v3r23:monero.social> mysu enforces it because it doesnt have the fix

<r​4v3r23:monero.social> mysu enforces passphrase because it doesnt have the fix

<r​4v3r23:monero.social> i dont know about cakes implementation, but anonero had that issue and tobtoht fixed it (but anonero enforces passphrase anyway so no one was affected)

<r​4v3r23:monero.social> and feather has its own implementation so is unaffected

<s​hortwavesurfer2009:monero.social> tuxsudo

Cake doesnt have the bug

"so cake's polyseed wallets cant be restored via polyseed in mysu, but they can be restored in feather "

Because mysu requires passphrase, but feather does not

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Question where did this CARROT thing come from. Never seen it discussed here?

I want to clarify what I meant when I said the videos produced by vostoemisio and xiphon are "not up to standards", since that's not very helpful:

1. they're not as easily digestible as the current videos

2. they try to cram too much information and the main points often get buried as a result

3. the voiceover is monotonous and robotic, despite not being AI (AI might actually be better)

4. dark-mode only so far (which I believe is being addressed)

Other than that, the visuals look nice. The problems lie with the script and the voice. This could be solved by allowing more time for feedback and sharing the audio track before proceeding with the animation (and finding another VO artist).

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Nice script

dan bob, CARROT came from jeffro and was discussed in MRL / NWLB
