decent article on monitoring mining pools medium.com/mit-media-lab-digital-cu…onitoring-mining-pools-65de79b90710

we should do something similar - analyze the jobs being issued from the major monero pools

make sure the block hashes their jobs are based on correspond to the current chain tip

it sounds like the level of monitoring they're aiming for could defeat dandelion tho

Draft blog post for Triptych: paste.debian.net/hidden/dbcc80a0

Comments/suggestions welcome

concise, looks good

did we get any shiny logo artwork? :P

good bot

I vote for i.imgur.com/fpfhjQc.png

lol

superimposed on a brick wall, looking like street art/tagging, could be cool

Perhaps something more hipster: usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/3aINwk5E/logo-1598030984409.png

The pennyfarthing shows a big ring and a small ring

a bit more classy, definitely

but this is usually what I would envision for the word thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/medieval-triptych-15742101.jpg

this one even has a bunch of rings ;) mybyzantine.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/imgp5108.jpg

and is, funnily enough, Byzantine

replace the religious portraiture with ... math formulas or something i.pinimg.com/originals/76/fe/bd/76febd8ad6483679d63eac4dff1bac97.jpg

hyc monitoring mining pools is even easier with RandomX because each pool job must have block height

good point

sarang: Good post

I wonder if we can slightly modify this statement though -> 'While there are currently no formal plans to deploy Triptych as part of the

Monero protocol'

How so?

There are no such plans

Perhaps something like 'we're still investigating the feasibility'

That would also be accurate

I could go into details on current limitations, if desired

I mean, there are also no formal plans _not_ to deploy it

shrug

Hopefully the use of careful but accurate terminology will help dispel this nonsense about zero-knowledge proving systems and ring signatures

Triptych is a linkable ring signature built using a zero-knowledge proving system

My point is basically that 'no formal plans' can be interpreted as a definite no, which seems a bit negative

Good point

I think your modification helps to clarify, and is still accurate

Should I mention anything in the post about Arcturus?

Arcturus and Triptych have similarities

"While we are still investigating technical details required for a future deployment of Triptych into the Monero protocol, it is very exciting to see the paper accepted for publication!"

^ dEBRUYNE

Multisig is still under consideration, since it's more complex with Triptych/Arcturus/RCT3 than it is in CLSAG/MLSAG

I really hope nobody uses the proof-of-concept code in production without review :/

sarang: Yep that looks good

Not sure about mentioning Arcturus

Nor am I

The benefit probably does not outweigh the potential for confusion

It has the same cryptographic foundation as Triptych, but the security model is different

as are the hardness assumptions

fair enough
