br-m<suhyeon:matrix.org> Hello again @datahoarder:monero.social . I want to ask 3 topics if you don't mind :)

br-m<suhyeon:matrix.org> 1. Dataset:
-
br-m<suhyeon:matrix.org> I want to refer your dataset (and we confirmed our research missed blocks) for our research. If it's okay, can you share how you collected block information (methodology) briefly and how your dataset want to be cited? About the dataset, even though we collected blocks using our pruning node, your dataset include 22 more Qub [... too long, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/upjMj9UKRENDMVZL ]

br-m<datahoarder> @suhyeon:matrix.org: 1. We gathered blocks + solution sets directly from Qubic low level computor network (see github.com/qubic/outsourced-computing/tree/main/monero-poc ). We tried to push these to the network, however, monerod/monero does not accept blocks via RPC consistently when it's behind the tip. We had som [... too long, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/8OT2j9UKN0UxRjdt ]
-
br-m<datahoarder> Later on this was delayed even further, so most of their lost branches didn't make it to the network. We also stopped pushing blocks they lost (as it was helping them) unless they did selfish mining.
-
br-m<datahoarder> Qubic also had bugs on their own code that prevented them pushing blocks (or they were unaware of blocks) sometimes. We also kept these (not all might be in the csv provided due to several reasons).

-
br-m<datahoarder> Not all are included as mentioned, we know some more blocks were found but we were unable to produce a template for them, or they are pending processing from logs (as we didn't have 24/7 uptime on the processor) but we kept most of the template data and solution data in logs to be able to recreate these.
-
br-m<datahoarder> We also gathered block templates from Tari merge mining. You can recreate full blocks if you have access to the block template, and matching merkle proofs to the root included in the miner tx.
-
br-m<datahoarder> There's currently another 52 blocks without full block template due to issues within Qubic or active obfuscation attempts from their part.
