tevador: Are there any other cryptos with RIDs/signatures like Jamtis supports? I really like that addition, and I'm curious how (and if) it has been done elsewhere.

HEADS UP FOR MATRIX USERS: The Monero matrix server (monero.social) will be down for 1-2h starting Friday Jan 28th, 1:00AM GMT. We will migrate it to a new host. Hopefully no data should be lost.

I made a python gist trying to show how Monero constructs pedersen commitments that prove hidden input and output amounts balance in a simple way

Figure @dangerousfreedom or others may find value in this^ (coincidentally I was working on this over the weekend). I'm in the process of building up my cryptography knowledge (to hopefully be a much more valuable contributor), and I think I'd find a lot of value in a super basic python implementation that verifies supply too. I'm a big fan of that endeavor

I also want to do range proofs and ring sigs next when I get more time

also major shout out to coinstudent2048 for the sweet tutorial I built off of when working on this

<jberman[m]> "I made a python gist trying to..." <- Nice. I wont have time this week until Friday but I will take a look soon :)

Yeah, I hope that we can do that together. I also need to improve my cryptography knowledge, so thats also why I want to have this question settled :p

sweet, I'll be around :D
