10:40:36 <one-horse-wagon[> Seraphis meeting today at 18:00 UTC in Matrix room--No Wallet Left Behind.
21:41:50 <defeatoverseer[m> 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 <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/14dad6dedc8b46b2583e49d97e499997ae31f7b2>)
22:05:16 <UkoeHB> 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.
22:06:31 <UkoeHB> It's a tough problem, because any 'solution' you find might be usable to fingerprint you.
22:06:46 <defeatoverseer[m> Do you know where I could find that?
22:06:49 <defeatoverseer[m> Might be worth reaching out to the authors.
22:07:00 <defeatoverseer[m> I had considered that.
22:07:08 <UkoeHB> I think it was sgp[m]
22:08:53 <defeatoverseer[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?
22:09:34 <defeatoverseer[m> Is there somewhere I can find out who the current members of the MRL are?
22:09:57 <UkoeHB> the MRL is not an organization, it's just a place people gather to discuss monero-related research
22:12:05 <UkoeHB> defeatoverseer[m: https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/79
22:12:12 <defeatoverseer[m> I see.
22:13:21 <defeatoverseer[m> Is the depth research in there or are you suggesting I post this there?
22:13:49 <UkoeHB> it's a discussion about churn and depth
22:14:03 <UkoeHB> probably the closest you'll find to research on the topic
22:14:57 <defeatoverseer[m> Would it be inappropriate for me to post a trimmed down version of the above post in there, or should I contact individuals directly?
22:15:26 <defeatoverseer[m> s/inappropriate/appropriate/
22:15:27 <UkoeHB> it would probably be better to contact people directly
22:16:50 <defeatoverseer[m> Not a problem. In general is there a shortage or surplus of statisticians in the community?
22:18:30 <defeatoverseer[m> And where can I find information about MRL's funding?
22:21:37 <UkoeHB> defeatoverseer[m: there is the CCS https://ccs.getmonero.org/ and MAGIC https://magicgrants.org/
22:22:11 <plowsof11> Ruckniumdo we need more statisticians^ 
22:22:45 <defeatoverseer[m> Was in the process of emailing Rucknium, that makes it easier.
22:26:28 <defeatoverseer[m> 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.
