Rucknium1 has completed2 the third (and final) milestone for their latest CCS proposal to conduct statistical research to improve Monero’s privacy3:
I have completed Milestone 3. [..] Investigated behavior of nodes on the DNS ban list and suggested modifications to it.4
Work overview
- Wrote “Preliminary results of risk of OSPEAD deployment without hard fork”5
- Wrote “OSPEAD – Optimal Ring Signature Research” blog post6
- Computed the Nash equilibrium of the protocol-adversary game7
- Created “OSPEAD: Optimal Ring Signatures” presentation for MoneroKon 20258
- Forked @Boog900’s monero-network-crawler and modified it to collect more node data9
- Created moneronet.info10
