Someone on the interwebz critiques the use of RingCT and Stealth Addresses by saying "the decoy selection needs to have no bias for all of that to work. this is why people are looking at statistical attacks"
-
lumberjack123
I am not sure what "decoy selection" means, does anyone have an idea?
-
gingeropolous
the other members of the ring in the ring signature
-
gingeropolous
when you make a transaction, it has your real input, and then (currently) 10 other decoys
-
gingeropolous
how those decoys are selected has evolved over time.
-
gingeropolous
however, it all still works, unless we've entered the universe where statistical probability equals truth
-
gingeropolous
well, where statistical probability equals reality.
-
upp
yeah i think weve already arrived at the universe where truth and reality is whatever they decree it to be
-
upp
:x
-
gingeropolous
indeed
-
gingeropolous
does that make sense lumberjack123 ?

hey so I want to make a monero miner that I can put on a website that would automatically donate to the ukraine BTC address. what's the best way of doing this?
-
codebam
they don't have an XMR address
-
codebam
don't want to make it malicious. users would agree to use their CPU power
-
moneromooo
You have no chance of finding anything mining bitcoin on a computer.
-
codebam
no I want to mine monero
-
codebam
and convert it to btc
-
codebam
or keep it as monero if ukraine eventually accepts that, but right now they only accept BTC and ETH
-
moneromooo
Well, you can look at primo and adapt it maybe.
-
codebam
okay, thank you I'll take a look
-
codebam
primo looks cool, but why not just embed javascript that does this?
-
codebam
some rust code compiled to webasm maybe
-
moneromooo
Because floating point rounding rules aren't usable from jsvascript AIUI.
-
moneromooo
So you'fe left with having to soft float it, which would be horrendously slow.
-
moneromooo
Hearsay. I do not know it myself.
-
codebam
if I use webasm are floats... accurate?
-
codebam
since it's rust
-
codebam
I'll ask the rust people
-
moneromooo
You need to be able to set rounding mode.
-
moneromooo
ie, to 0, to +inf, etc.
-
hyc
that's correct
