00:39:40 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> I'd ack given my call for a moratorium on ecc dev but jeffro256: may want a new tx version after the fcmp++ HF (same time as jamtis)?
00:40:39 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> That raises the Q if we're going to have a 2.0 in 6-12 months
00:42:06 <m-relay> <k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> If there's still frequent consensus changes, I'd advocate shifting the versions over, not making a 1.0
10:11:23 <sech1> Let's just shift from v0.18.x.x. to v19.x.x to satisfy everyone :)
15:35:15 <m-relay> <j​0j0xmr:monero.social> What's wrong with sender privacy?
15:41:23 <sech1> Ring signatures are not perfect (only 16 decoys). See EAE attack, for example
15:49:47 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> sech1 even see OSPEAD latest results show yesterday
15:49:53 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> 4.2 effective ring size
15:49:59 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> 4.2 effective ring size at worst
16:22:01 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> Where do I put the "nonce extra" in the Monero block header? Inside the transaction with the TxExtraTagNonce right?
16:22:08 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> Test
16:22:17 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> Why are my messages instantly deleted?
16:23:14 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> they are not
16:23:21 <m-relay> <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> we can see them
16:26:54 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> test
16:46:51 <sech1> "nonce extra" is put in the tx_extra field of the coinbase transaction. Yes, with the TX_EXTRA_NONCE tag.
17:12:15 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> The size can be anything? Can I have a 16 or 32 bytes extra nonce?
17:12:16 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> And the process would be as follows for a 16 byte nonce, correct?
17:12:18 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> 1. call get_block_template with reserve_size = 17 (16+1)
17:12:20 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> 2. unmarshal the `blocktemplate_blob` to a Block struct (provided by https://git.gammaspectra.live/P2Pool/consensus/src/branch/master/p2pool/stratum/stratum.go , a cool library i found)
17:12:22 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> 3. edit the TxExtra to replace the 17 empty bytes with `TxExtraTagNonce` prefix + 16 random bytes
17:12:24 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> 4. get the hashing blob with block.HashingBlob() and send it to miners for work
17:12:26 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> i'm unsure about the steps 2. and 3
17:12:47 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> The size can be anything? Can I have a 16 or 32 bytes extra nonce?
17:12:48 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> And the process would be as follows for a 16 byte nonce, correct?
17:12:50 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> 1. call get\_block\_template with reserve\_size = 17 (16+1)
17:12:52 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> 2. unmarshal the `blocktemplate_blob` to a Block struct (provided by https://git.gammaspectra.live/P2Pool/consensus/src/branch/master/monero/block/block.go , a cool library i found)
17:12:54 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> 3. edit the TxExtra to replace the 17 empty bytes with `TxExtraTagNonce` prefix + 16 random bytes
17:12:56 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> 4. get the hashing blob with block.HashingBlob() and send it to miners for work
17:29:02 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> @sech1
17:32:41 <sech1> Size must be < 256 bytes
17:32:50 <sech1> But you don't need a lot for tx_extra
17:37:01 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> are the steps i outlined correct?
18:12:37 <sech1> yes, but you need to have a unique tx_extra for each miner
18:12:52 <sech1> or they will mine on the same hashing blob
18:14:29 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> of course... i generate a different tx_extra for every single job for each miner
18:16:57 <sech1> get_block_template returns hashing blob, but you can't use it directly. You need to edit the template (tx_extra in it), then recalculate the hashing blob. So steps 3-4 are correct
18:17:41 <sech1> I mean you can use it directly, but only for solo mining
18:17:50 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> yes, and i rely on that Go implementation to calculate block.HashingBlob()
18:21:07 <sech1> It should work. You can check it on testnet
18:56:31 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> (testnet synchronization is so slow 😦)
18:56:41 <m-relay> <f​ede:xmr.mx> i mean stagenet
