m-relay
<yasabi:matrix.org> it is actually pretty nice nowadays

m-relay
<yasabi:matrix.org> arch is a good intermediate distro, i would hesitate to recommend it to someone just coming from a proprietary OS tho

m-relay
<yasabi:matrix.org> but i also haven't touched it in ages so i wonder how they've improved overall

m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> For someone with less experience I would recommend Artix instead of Arch.

m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Can anyone care to address my concerns for XMR?
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> 1) Increased government restriction. If governments required XMR users to share their view key after tracking people who ping XMR nodes through internet service providers, how would XMR continue running?
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> 2) Centralized developer team. If all the developers were compromised and a poisoned XMR codebase was released, we could technically fork XMR and use something else, but trust for the coin would cease to exist.
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> 3) Lack of liquidity. Biggest problem in my view. Even with DEX solutions, going from XMR -> Cash or XMR -> Goods and vice versa is difficult. A circular economy is unfeasible because of my 1st point as the coin would eventually get regulated forcibly if it ever becomes big.
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> I'm from the Bitcoin camp. I believe regulated coins are the future and that cypherpunk ideals are unrealistic. XMR already has a bad rap and I am not sure how the coin can overcome the concerns I listed.
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> 1. This is completely unrealistic and worst case ill put my node behind tor or vpn to armenia.

1) You can always run your XMR node in a crypto-friendly country and connect to it through VPN/Tor

2) All development and source code is public. It takes one person out of the whole world to find any poison and ring the alarm bells before release
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> I understand. Is this the Daniel Kim argument? It is impossible for XMR to be banned in all countries because if it is, another country has the incentive to use XMR for gains?
-
sech1
3) LocalMonero and DEXes are the future

m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> also just look at tor, developed by the feds, used by the feds

sech1
well, technically it's true - CBDCs are coming
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> I am not convinced by DEX solutions. I have seen all the DEX solutions that were attempted on BTC for almost a decade now and all were either regulated or do not have sufficient liquidity for extremely large amounts.

<wizbiz:matrix.org> Yes but this goes back to my problem of extremely large amounts. Cash by mail for $50 million is not possible.

m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Btc core is 3 or 5 people? That can push code?
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> i know someone who can probably get you that
-
m-relay
<siren:kernal.eu> You can find ways to wash that amount if you really have $50million
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> "Bad rap" again. Why do I have to engage in criminal activity to withdraw large amounts? With BTC, I can now easily withdraw with trusted CEX like Coinbase that is financially regulated and trusted.
-
m-relay
<siren:kernal.eu> Then don't engage in criminal activity? Fly legally to a jurisdiction where it's lax. Or use Kraken or other CEX. You can always pay taxes.
-
m-relay
<siren:kernal.eu> Even if you cashed out/received bank transfers from P2P trades.
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Bitcoin core has vested interests with many, many companies and organizations like MIT who fund development. I am not sure about XMR with suspicious CCS funds...
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Suspicious how?
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> These organizations keep the developers in check. Banks are also becoming involved as BTC becomes more integrated with financial services.
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Know one knows who sent what
-
sech1
CCS funds are distributed for specific proposals with clearly defined goals

So yes, they also "keep developers in check", but in a good way

because proposals are formulated by devs themselves

Satoshi abandoned development after the WikiLeaks incident as the "hornet's nest" was kicked. I know my history about BTC and the "fuck banks coin" is rubbish.

<wizbiz:matrix.org> “It's pretty strange really that we all see a good chance that bitcoins will hit a dollar in the relatively near future.

what's that secret place?
bitcointalk.org ?
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Yeah
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> I can say the same about r/xmrtrader. Everyone there thinks exchanges are "suppressing" the price of XMR and that it will soon pump. Ridiculous.
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> its a containment sub, not the main one
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> No. Bitcoinforum is a place for advertising gambling sites and bots.
-

at least the suppression theory has a pile of evidence to support it
-
sech1
if you frequent r/xmrtrader, they do post evidence periodically
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> ^
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> I think this is the most hilarious coping mechanism I have seen. There is no suppression and the evidence is hand-wavy.

m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Wasn't there a similar issue with XMR NFTs and bloat?

m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Nope

m-relay
<siren:kernal.eu> No
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Got nuked cause we didnt want it

so you're saying Binance has enough XMR in their reserves, and the "withdrawal closed" are just because they have problems with wallet? Naive
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Chain bloat
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> that was a proof of concept to point out an issue
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> that issue was resolved
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> but bitcoin may never ever fork
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> OK. You win for that argument. I do like the frequent changes and upgrades to XMR. I do wish BTC was similar in that respect.
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> It did help with tx_extra size limit
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> thing is, if NFTs make any sense at all, they do so on bitcoin with data on-chain
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> and it even helps make it a tiny bit more realistic that bitcoin could survive without any block rewards
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> i think its hilarious how starkly some people are against them
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Binance has too many reserves and you can track them on CMC. I am not sure why withdrawals close, but if Binance was manipulating XMR it would have been mentioned in the lawsuit with the SEC, so stop this bullshit.
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> the stuff with the CVE was peak pettiness
-
sech1
Binance never published their XMR reserves
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> they literally showed the wrong chart on CMC

and CMC is owned by Binance, surprise surprise

they can show _anything_ there

lawsuit with SEC? XMR is not a security

m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> We do not think inflation is bad. I understand why you think this as the NGU community have loud mouths. Basic economics suggests deflation is bad and I hope the contribution by banks will persuade changes to this supply cap.

m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> its terribly slow, its terribly expensive, its terribly traceable
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> 1. Terribly slow -> Lightning and other solutions are being built for this. We can also take good features XMR has like dynamic block sizing and integrate it into BTC when the issue arises. BTC does not update anything if the chain works fine. We update when necessary.
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> 2. Terribly expensive -> Yes, this is an issue when the chain is busy, but lightning addresses this.
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> 3. Traceable -> Satoshi offered a solution to this. Use a new address for each transaction. We also have coinjoin and taproot.
-
sech1
Dynamic block sizing doesn't work without tail emission, few people know this
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> have fun with blocksize war #2

you need tail emission to penalize miners who make blocks too big

m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> ¿
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> all the nodes can do is lie to you about high fees and somewhat spy on you

m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Run your own node guys!

m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> syncing bitcoin also takes hours?
-
sech1
Finding a path in a graph when any edge in that graph can change at any moment is an unsolved problem
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Sorry I should have phrased it better. XMR has wallets like MyMonero that you have to share your viewkey with. Not vulnerable remote nodes, but it is still kinda custodial
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Days
-
sech1
especially when each node of that graph is not aware of the full graph
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> this is being addressed
-
sech1
it's an unsolved problem in computer science, and some think it's unsolvable in principle
-
sech1
it is solvable in some specific cases, but not in general
-
sech1
specific cases being certain types of graphs
-
sech1
like big centralized "hub" nodes - then lightning will work
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> with seraphis youll have view-keys that can "pre-sort" transactions which only partially impacts privacy compared to the full decrypt you currently have with viewkeys
-
sech1
but what's the point if it becomes centralized with a few "bank" nodes in it
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> id recommend jbermans monerokon 2023 talk

m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> If your concerns were resolved you are going to switch?

m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Or we going in Post Malone

m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> never. you can only trust the math in some places, you cant trust the math to audit the supply though!
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Not switch but I was going to share XMR with my community of old heads. Many of us know about XMR but no one in my community have done research except me and I want to make them open to this coin, but I can't get myself to with these major issues.
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> and i see these as major issues and your solutions laughable
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> From what I have seen, Seraphis and jamtis or whatever it is called has barely made any progress
-
m-relay
<siren:kernal.eu> Fungibility is a major risk. I don't want my business investigated or funds frozen if a customer is shady and sends me something tainted
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> i could say the same about lightning
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Lightning has progress you can see and test
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Point 2 is a major issue for btc, not xmr. Prs are only merged by core. Code is made pushed by devs by community funded devs
-
m-relay
<basses:matrix.org> all exchanges that got hacked
defillama.com/hacks
-
sech1
"Lightning has progress" when it was first released? How many years ago? I don't doubt it works right now, but it's fundamentally unreliable for reasons I mentioned above
-
sech1
It will either degrade to a few big nodes and everyone connecting to them, or it will degrade to a not working state
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> I already answered the solution for this point. There is zero incentive for the core to push poison code because all of the grants, supports and close monitoring by external organizations. All identities are also public and if bad code was pushed, these developers would get into trouble.
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> it boils down to this: all of moneros issues can and will be fixed with time. bitcoin has some fundamental issues that need to be addressed, otherwise the chain is doomed to fail. monero is open to change, bitcoin has a cult that is against any and all change. good luck.
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> XMR devs are either frauds like fluffypony, lose funds from the CCS mysteriously and engage in suspicious activity in general
-
sech1
fluffy is not even a dev, stop this bullshit
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> MyMonero counts
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> So public devs cannot be co opted?
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> mymonero is what wallet of satoshi is to bitcoin

m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> but the people actually still hold their own keys

m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> We are not against change. We are against changing when the chain is working. When are close to an issue, we address it.
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> i want to see that

sech1
define "working"
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Literally ignoring all the efforts with taproot, etc.
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Yep Post Malone “circles”
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> because last time there was an issue BCH was created and BTC didnt change

all I see in BTC is always full mempool and super high fees

m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> taproot just enabled ordinals, its not even used for atomic swaps because they stand out so much lol

m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> (taproot transactions)

also, even if lightning somehow starts working (via centralization) and everyone moves there, who will pay miners then? After a few halvings? Everyone on lightning, no fees on layer 0

-
m-relay
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Centralized pools with botnets probably mining rule this coin
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> but i dont think anyone seriously considered these as viable
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> analysis has shown about 20% are botnets and that number is very stable
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> at least the miners of our chain are over 51% mining to KYC POOLS HAHAHAHAH
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> at least the miners of our chain arent over 51% mining to KYC POOLS HAHAHAHAH
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Nothing is wrong with this. KYC is better for miners as if they attempt a 51% attack, law enforcement can get involved.
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> lmao
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> law enforcement can also... enforce the law and force miners to censor their blocks
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Does btc have something similar to p2pool?
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> p2pool was originally a bitcoin pool
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Rip eth
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> it was never adopted because with asics youd just run your own pool
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> or apparently join a kyc pool
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Have you used xmr ?
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> From what I can gather so far, BTC has these weaknesses:
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> - Lightning is broken
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> - Transactions are slow and have high fees
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> - NGU ruins the community
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> - Miners are KYC and there is little privacy unless you make an effort
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> XMR has these weaknesses:
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> - Liquidity is broken. It doesn't exist unless you go through suspicious pathways and this is not ideal for a person with a large sum of money. You have to place trust in a P2P exchange, CEX are better
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> - Threat of governments. Yes you can move to another country, but I am not doing that if I can use BTC freely. Governments are not bad and are necessary.
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> - Suspicious dev team.
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> - Circular economy pipe dream.
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> - Promises of updates like Seraphis without any results but a research paper. BTC has more going on in the background, this is why Seth moved over.
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Who is the sus dev team
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> No
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Have you forgotten about what recently happened to the Monero fund?
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> bitcoin is literally going to die because you guys will have a bloody war about your set-in-stone 21 million number
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Yeah we made interest
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> And not a dev
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> monero liqudity will be handled by serai
-
m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> So who is sus dev
-
m-relay

m-relay

-
m-relay
<karano:poddery.com> What do you mean by seth moved over ?
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> I said all the developers are suspicious by nature. None of them are public except for fluffy fraud and I understand he is no longer a dev but he scarred the reputation for this coin.
-
m-relay
<karano:poddery.com> He wasn't working on xmr as a dev

m-relay
<karano:poddery.com> He wasn't working on xmr as a dev , i think

if you want "trusted" devs you're getting it backwards
-

the point is to never trust anyone and always check

m-relay
<123bob123:matrix.org> Yep

this is why we had Bulletproofs' audit, RandomX audit and a few more audits

This is where all the "reproducible builds" thing comes from
-
sech1
Monero has reproducible builds btw
-
sech1
and on the way to have bootstrappable builds soon
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> It doesn't matter if XMR has reproducible builds if you can't trust your propriety hardware
-
sech1
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> Yes he was a long time ago.
-
sech1
Monero has RISC-V binaries and you can run it on RISC-V if you fancy so
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> In that case Bitcoin is compromised as well
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> I didn't know that. Cool.
-
m-relay
<karano:poddery.com> Why do bitcoiners use coin-join then 😂
-
m-relay
<karano:poddery.com> They don't like transacting without it ?
-
sech1
oh wait, 0.18.3.1 doesn't have RISC-V. Didn't we add RISC-V support recently?
-
m-relay
<karano:poddery.com> Just sending btc p2p ?
-

Probably the next release will have them
-
sech1
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> I'm tired of arguing. It seems like this discussion went nowhere. I understand your arguments and BTC is not perfect but constantly bashing the coin because of a small portion of the community that is loud is unfair. Main point I can give is that BTC is open to new ideas. We will implement many of the features XMR have I imagine in the future when it is appropriate so the issues w<clipped message>
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> e have right now will not continue forever.
-
m-relay
<wizbiz:matrix.org> For my initial concerns, I have to admit my second point was answered perfectly after I read back. Liquidity and regulation is still an issue and I don't think this will ever get solved. Don't get your hopes up for Haveno and Serai as I did too way back in the day for other BTC DEX and these failed. Goodbye.
-
sech1
You're delusional, BTC won't implement any crucial features like tail emission and dynamic blocks
-
sech1
because politics
-
sech1
at best, you'll just get another forked coin that calls themselves BTC

<slstmd:monero.social> for example he debugged a compiler bug, something mj would have never done

m-relay
<slstmd:monero.social> but generally different writing style, he works on different parts of the codebase, also more dedicated

m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> why is the data-in rate such a smooth curve?
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> does this mean someone pumped out all the transactions at once and then started slowing down?
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> or is this completely unrelated to transactions?
-
sech1
speaking of transactions:
p2pool.io/explorer/txpool - 2400+ transactions, 95% of them are 1in/2out
-
sech1
this is irregular
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> is there any real reason to do it like this if its an exchange?
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> they could just send 1->100 if they wanted a lot of outputs, right?
-
snex
isnt 1in/2out like every tx ever? or are you not counting the return change?
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> at this rate we'll hit 100k tx
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:agoradesk.com> 1/16
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> what about unrestricted rpc?
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:agoradesk.com> 1/2 could verywell be just rechurning tge same output repeatedly
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> thats still a lot of outputs
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:agoradesk.com> Well, its obvious that at least someone has them
-

-
m-relay
<snowman:tetaneutral.net> Didn’t he say he was going to spam xmr
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:agoradesk.com> 1/16 spam = lots of outputs
-
snex
oh no please dont spam the network and give me higher fees
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> it just gives miners more money
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> fees should actually go down
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> at least over the longer term
-
m-relay
<monerobull:matrix.org> the only real downside is that it takes up more node storage

1/2 transactions are really common because somebody withdraws from exchange to new wallet then spends

not saying the recent activity isn't sus, just saying

maybe these tx are binance going into the market to buy all since they were playing FRB games and cant cover the outflows

when youre forced to buy immediately you dont get to be choosy

-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> yah and bulk buy is easier

if you decrease avg input size from 2 to 1 but then do 2x as many tx, you have not reduced decoys to half

<gfdshygti53:monero.social> I guess not everyone is taking provit into XMR, i'm sure a bit part go into others scams (ETH) and USD*).
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> yes, thats changed recently & if its a spam attack and the outputs are from same entity then privacy reduces
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> BTC dumped 10.06
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> XMR gained 4.36 vs BTC
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> ETH gained 5.64 vs BTC
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> pndxmr: My computing resources are occupied at the moment. I can put the recent tx volume increase on the MRL meeting agenda for tomorrow.
-
m-relay
<ajs_:matrix.org> Rucknium: was there any insights from the previous influx of txs
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> So my thinking is as simple as that
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> Massive XMR TX uptick the same day corn dump 11%(so far)
-
Lyza0
okay but the price ain't move
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> ajs_: In mid December? There was an increase in the share of outputs that were spent quickly after being released from the 10 block lock. IMHO, that suggested spam.
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> if XMR is to go up, it might so it after BTC settle and rest
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> Thing is, XMR is fighting again BTC, not USD.
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> You can see our "Fingerprinting a Flood" analysis of the 2021 tx volume anomaly (
mitchellpkt.medium.com/fingerprinti…ero-transaction-volume-a19cbf41ce60 ) "Question 2(b): Is the source one or more entities? Analyzing spend time distributions"
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> there was spike yesterday too
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> It's why I have indicator for bitcoin, based on Monero. (I use Monero price action to trade bitcoin and it work well)
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> Often the "Monero indicator" Trigger a day before BTC big move.
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> Note that do not use the monero rate of TXing for that Indicator... yet.
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> -12%.. it continue lol
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:agoradesk.com> Well, decoys are already bad
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:agoradesk.com> 16 is a mythical creature
-
m-relay
<ofrnxmr:agoradesk.com> Effective ringsize of 16* is a mythical creature
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> indeed and dont know why ppl didnt reject using half recent ouputs lol
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> The decoy selection algorithm should match the real spend age distribution as closely as possible. The current DSA is based on the analysis of Moser et al. (2018) that used de-anonymized Monero txs to measure the real spend age distribution. Most spent outputs are young. That's true for Monero, BTC, LTC, BCH, and DOGE.
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> If people rejected using recent outputs, then they would be rejecting the suggestions of a half dozen research papers
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> Yes, but those chains dont use decoys
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> With single entity spam attack, our decoys are now actually halved
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> There is higher risk for users to use a DSA that doesn't match the real spend age distribution well.
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> If we have a emergency fork to increase ringsize to say 24, would we still keep half of the decoys from recent outputs ?
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> Probably yes. Just putting in many old outputs in the DSA would cause an adversary to just ignore them since they are unlikely to be the real spend.
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> so if we are spending a recent output right now, and majority of its spam; we have effective zero privacy ?
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> Most decoys you are going to use are not from "the last 48 hours" right...
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> Say that an adversary owns half of all recent outputs. Then effective ring size is cut in about half. Effective ring size would be 8. That's not zero privacy
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> Over half of outputs that the DSA selects are from the most recent 72 hours.
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> what if its 80-90% of outputs from same bad actor ?
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> You can see what 5 research papers say about matching the real spend age distribution on the first page of
github.com/Rucknium/OSPEAD/blob/mai…pecified-Estimation-Plan-PUBLIC.pdf
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> Doesnt answer my question though, if attacker owns 80-90% of recent outputs what would be effective ringsize ?
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> 80-90% would be a major problem for user privacy
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> so we should all now start spamming and keep it down to 50%
-
m-relay
<yasabi:matrix.org> panic is a surefire way to make things worse no matter what is actually going on
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> it would subside after a few days, but we need to work on fixing things
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> FCMP isnt coming anytime soon
-
snex
send all your monero to the banmonero.com black hole
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> With 15 decoys, if an adversary controls 90% of outputs, then on average 1.5 of the 15 decoys would be not controlled by the adversary. So an adversary would have reduced average effective ring size to 2.5
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> sorry i dont transact
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> thank you :)
-
m-relay
<spackle_xmr:matrix.org> Responding to spam with spam seems like a nasty feedback loop.
-
m-relay
<spackle_xmr:matrix.org> Especially if it isn't coordinated. Who knows, maybe people are already doing it.
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> what kind of decoy selection would help in such cases ?
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> Problem is that you can know it's spam,
-
m-relay
<gfdshygti53:monero.social> If you send churn thousands of output then you rechurn them after 20 min then you rechurn them after 20 min...
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> A DSA that avoids the spam somehow. That's very difficult because it's a moving target.
-
m-relay
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> So we can be sitting ducks ?
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> Yes. One of the first MRL research bulletins analyzed this issue. It is not new
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> Any idea if FCPM is actually doable with seraphis or its just on paper for now
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> Actually the first MRL bulletin: "A Note on Chain Reactions in Traceability in CryptoNote 2.0"
getmonero.org/resources/research-lab/pubs/MRL-0001.pdf
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> People who are working on it think that FCMP can be used with Seraphis. I'm not a cryptographer, so I can't give you more of an opinion on that.
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> I will wait for tomorrow's MRL meeting to read your analysis of current spam attack
-
m-relay
<rucknium:monero.social> I don't think I will have an analysis there. That agenda item will be to decide if analyzing it should be a priority.

plowsof
Im going to wait for pndxmr to create a bounty
bounties.monero.social
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> bounty for dsa or just analysis of spam attack or fcmp
-
plowsof
You know best

m-relay
<spackle_xmr:matrix.org> Throwing out some lazy/amateur napkin math on the DSA:
wolframalpha.com/input?i=gamma+distribution+19.28%2C%281%2F1.61%29
-
m-relay
<spackle_xmr:matrix.org> We can expect ~50% of all decoys to be selected from the last 1.5 days
-
m-relay
<spackle_xmr:matrix.org> ~60% from the last 3 days
-
m-relay
<spackle_xmr:matrix.org> ~75% from the last 10 days
-
m-relay
<pndxmr:matrix.org> okay, i went with dsa for now as FCPM is a long shot
