Got this message from someone on Reddit... i.imgur.com/XPoWkgu.png any advice I can give, other than not to churn?

hello, good day :)

I am currently still translating zero to monero to portuguese. It is not only translating but also exposing the protocol the best i can in verbatim terms.

One of the things i want to explain is gamma...

In the pedersen commitments it is said :

H = 8 ∗ to point(H_n (G))

This implies that there is a γ such that :

H = γG .

And there is no monerian that knows γ .

Because it is calculated through a hash function...

I would like to expose the implications os knowing γ .

I was told that knowing γ lets you forge xmr. This is,

print xmr out of thin air.

Can someone help me please ?

I am very persistent and i am already finished with the translation, except

footnotes and lifting semantic errors here and there.

geonic: why would you propose to not churn?

imagine unironically advising people against churning. shake my head.

slave_blocker2 if you know gamma then you can create a commitment to any arbitrary amount. The balance proof basically becomes meaningless

Question: for p2pool? Hypothetically speaking, what would be the risk of p2pool having a 51% hash rate, since the pool is decentralized, would it prevent attackers from highjacking the chain?

I'm unsure how p2pool works in general on a technical level so I'm curious

in p2pool every miner constructs their own blocks, so even if the pool is at 51%, it doesn't give unified control

using p2pool, instead of worrying about entire pools having 51% hash rate, the threat would have to be from a single miner having majority hash rate.

much harder for a single entity to pull off

<hyc> "using p2pool, instead of..." <- Interesting, I'm guessing if one miner had that hash rate then all of the shares would go to that miner

Which would give them control

something like that yes, that's the meaning of "51% attack"

obviously much easier to subvert the management of 3 large pools than to take control of thousands of individual miners

Hello guys, Im getting crazy with a 'basic' issue here. I cant print the transaction_prefix in this function here:

Basically, I want to get the hex value of the 's.str().data()' so I can be sure of what is passed to the hash function. Thank you for the help!!
