Seraphis meeting today at 18:00 UTC in Matrix room--No Wallet Left Behind.

TLDR - Need a quantifiable counter measure for preventing the Overseer Attack. Will be paying for this research. Want to get started sooner rather than later.... (full message at <libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/do…6dedc8b46b2583e49d97e499997ae31f7b2>)

defeatoverseer[m: I'm not sure if any focused research has been done aside from estimations of the average tree depth (degree of separation) as a function of ring size.

It's a tough problem, because any 'solution' you find might be usable to fingerprint you.

Do you know where I could find that?

Might be worth reaching out to the authors.

I had considered that.

I think it was sgp[m]

Ty. I don't know much about the MRL, is this something that will likely get passed up on as it's not a priority, or is there a chance that it could get picked up because I'm willing to pay?

Is there somewhere I can find out who the current members of the MRL are?

the MRL is not an organization, it's just a place people gather to discuss monero-related research

defeatoverseer[m: monero-project/research-lab #79

I see.

Is the depth research in there or are you suggesting I post this there?

it's a discussion about churn and depth

probably the closest you'll find to research on the topic

Would it be inappropriate for me to post a trimmed down version of the above post in there, or should I contact individuals directly?

s/inappropriate/appropriate/

it would probably be better to contact people directly

Not a problem. In general is there a shortage or surplus of statisticians in the community?

And where can I find information about MRL's funding?

defeatoverseer[m: there is the CCS ccs.getmonero.org and MAGIC magicgrants.org

Ruckniumdo we need more statisticians^

Was in the process of emailing Rucknium, that makes it easier.

Rucknium: If you could point me in the direction of any statisticians that could assist with this research that would be great. I will be paying them for their time.
