hello sorry i am looking for Rucknium

someguyalder[m]
I would like to donate to him for his work on monero. On his website i am only able to donate to his bitcoin cash work, which i dont want to do :)

Can anyone kindly tell me why it takes quiet a long time for seraphis and OSPEAD to be merged to actual codebase of monero? as far as i understand from the ccs tasks they are completed
-
merope
Can't rush these things: if there's a bug or a critical flaw in their logic and/or implementation, it would be a disaster for Monero
-
someguyalder[m]
Understood. May i give my feedback: There is no way to donate to the right people more directly. For example. I saw the OSPEAD stuff and am now looking for rucknium here to donate to him directly. I dont feel like putting money in the general fund (which i also do) does incentivice the great minds to use their free time to come up with stuff. Because they have to come up with it, before there is funding required via CCS
-
someguyalder[m]
and also, i'm sure you are all great minds :)

someguyalder[m]: seraphis still has a long road of development ahead of it
-
UkoeHB
and OPSEAD doesn't even have a proof of concept afaik
-

UkoeHB: I listened to your Seraphis lecture and maybe I missed it, but is there someplace you posted your coding?
-
one-horse-wagon[
* your coding? Your work was most admirable.

the seraphis migration resources put together so far are here:

someguyalder: Hi! Thank you for your interest in my work. OSPEAD was delayed by about 6 months since the original proposal assumed that the Fluorine Fermi hard fork would happen in about February. It eventually happened in August. The hard fork was expected to cause a statistical discontinuity in transactions on the blockchain.
-
Rucknium[m]
And there was a discontinuity. Transaction volume fell by about 50% in the days after the hard fork and many Monero wallet developers failed to update their code in time for the hard fork, preventing their users from being about to transact (MyMonero, Exodus, Coinomi, etc.)
-
Rucknium[m]
One of three milestone have been completed in the CCS proposal. Right now the scientific review panel is reviewing the proposed estimation specification.

Maybe plowsof could add static addresses to Wishlist as a Service (should be easy). In the meantime, here is my PGP-signed XMR address:

Any donations are much appreciated ^_^

Hi, I am trying to build the RingCT code from the repository but I get the following error: mingw32-make.exe: *** No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop
-
shachar1236[m]
It says that it dosent have a make file, why?
-
moneromooo
What are "the RingCT code" and "the repository" ?
-
shachar1236[m]
-
moneromooo
Ah, no idea then, sorry.
-
shachar1236[m]
and inside the repository is a cpp implemantation of ring signatures in a folder named RingCT
-
moneromooo
Is there a CMakeLists.txt ?
-
moneromooo
If so: mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cd .. && make -C build
-
shachar1236[m]
no, it dosent have cmake
-
rbrunner

rbrunner
Naked code
-
shachar1236[m]
rbrunner: what do you mean?
-
rbrunner
That there is no CMakeLists.txt file to drive make
-
shachar1236[m]
moneromooo: It only have a runtest.bat that should compile the code but its not working
-
rbrunner
Well, that stuff is 7 years old. Are you sure that you will get from this what you want?
-
rbrunner
Maybe that's also the reason that the batchfile is not working anymore with modern mingw32
-
rbrunner
Would probably be mingw64 now anyway ...
-
shachar1236[m]
rbrunner: Well, I want the implementation of the ring signatures, I cant figure out how to extract it from the monero repo so I thougth I would get it from this repo
-
rbrunner
Ah, ok
-
shachar1236[m]
I you know how I can extract the code from the Monero repo I would be happy
-
rbrunner
Hmm, maybe that code would have other problems, like using a lot of other stuff from the Monero code, that depending on your intended use could be problematic
-
shachar1236[m]
I cant found good libraris of linkable ring signatures , so I thougth that the monero ring signatures implementation would be good
-
rbrunner
But anyway, it's not even sure that this very old code is fully correct, if you ask me. Probably a very early experiment, abandoned at some point
-
shachar1236[m]
rbrunner: nooooooooooooo
-
shachar1236[m]
rbrunner: Yes that was my problem when
-
shachar1236[m]
that was my problem when I tried to extract the ring sig code from the monero repository it kept complaining that its missing files
-
rbrunner
Maybe you have to go the long journey and learn enough about all this to know your way around, and e.g. write a CMakeLists.txt for that code yourself
-
rbrunner
I think for "people in the know" that should not be a big task.
-
rbrunner
You could put a bounty on it :)
-
shachar1236[m]
rbrunner: Do you know someone that could help me with that?
-
shachar1236[m]
rbrunner: What do you mean?
-
shachar1236[m]
what is a bounty?
-
rbrunner
A payment to get people to do it for you:
bounties.monero.social
-
rbrunner
With an amount that depends on the size of the job, of course
-
rbrunner
Oh, I think that site is the other way round, here people offer to work and wait for donations maybe ...
-
rbrunner
But as I said, I think it's a considerable risk to go into production with that code, and the author is probably not available for questions anymore
-
shachar1236[m]
Ok, thanks you!! I will keep looking for other linkable ring signatures implemantations
-
rbrunner
Welcome
-
Rucknium[m]
rbrunner: bounties.monero.social can work both ways. Mostly it's people wanting something to be done, and hoping for someone to provide labor to do it.
-
rbrunner
Thanks, so I did not closely enough.
