what is considered "well connected" for a node?

monerobull[m]: 307 connections

Ok I combined BP+ and Grootle multiexponentiations into one operation, which gave a couple % speedup. Updated graphs: monero-project/research-lab #91#issuecomment-1047191259

hello, how many keys can be encoded in a QR code?

just wondering, if i have a set of key images, how can i represent them in the most compact way?

There are several QR code sizes, which can encode varying amounts of data.

monerobull[m]: my nodes usually have 80 or so incoming connections

<slave_blocker2> "hello, how many keys can be..." <- Have you put varying amounts of dummy key images into qr code generators? Did you not like what you got?

I'm just wondering if i have a set of equal size binary vectors, how can i represent them in the most compact way? QR codes seem to be the top of the line in such a compression?

QR codes do not compress. They actually usually expand.

If you want to compress, try applying a compression algorithm first.

Key images and the like won't compress though, but maybe the framing data will a bit.

well i guess if these are n points, the creme de la creme would be to have a irreducible polynomial such that these points are exectly the roots of such a polynomial.

moneromooo, are you saying that a list of key images, is the most compressed it can be?

There must be a better way!

hum, i am currently thinkering here with mininero. Can someone tell me if the range proofs included there are for real? The last commit was from May 8, 2016

The most compress I can make them anyway.

They're based on hashes, so the bits are gonna be pretty much random.

You've got maybe 4 bits of slack per 32 bytes, but good luck finding a way to get them.

moneromooo, is there a better/more up to date version of mininero? I am trying to understand ringct as was done in 0.15.x.x . For the translation of ztm...

Not that I know of.

There's misc python code in sarang's github repos though, PoCs for various things.

Sometimes more than PoCs. BP, BP+, probably also range proofs.

please give me the link to his repo :)

ups found it

i found his repo but nothing in python about ringct.

...

Check the "skunkworks" repository

yep, thx !
