Participants: 11 (UkoeHB2, rbrunner3, jberman4, Rucknium5, tobtoht6, ooo123ooo12345677, ArticMine8, SerHack9, selsta10, ofrnxmr11, sech112)
(1) Updates
(1.1) on statistical analysis and the decoy selection algorithm:
Rucknium reported writing an R implementation based on mj-xmr’s Python implementation of the wallet2
decoy selection algorithm13
(1.2) on Monero fixes and the upcoming network upgrade:
jberman finished the Ledger integration and was almost done reviewing 807614; he also announced plans to submit a new CCS soon
(1.3) on Seraphis15, Jamtis16 and MoneroKon22 presentations:
UkoeHB reported running some basic unit tests of enote scanning and noted that although there are various todos to address, currently there is enough code in his Seraphis library to begin writing a wallet
jberman was happy with how the recent MoneroKon22 presentation on Seraphis/Jamtis features17 went
UkoeHB was hopeful that a video of his MoneroKon22 presentation about Seraphis balance recovery18 would become available at some point
ArticMine mentioned his own Monerokon22 presentation (On The Security and Ecological Sustainability of Monero19), before announcing his plans to start working on a comprehensive overview of the whole fee, scaling, and related security and spam issues
Rucknium suggested ArticMine should reach out to endor00, as they are currently working on an analysis of the Monero “security budget”
(2) Open discussions
(2.1) on the persistent many-input transactions observed since last fall:
Rucknium mentioned the ring caching possibility, that was previously suggested by jberman
ooo123ooo1234567 didn’t think the issue of broken tx relay and harmful edge case for ring signature cache was particularly interesting to discuss from a research point of view
(2.2) on reasons behind the HF20 delay:
selsta proposed a 2-week HF delay that would move the fork height from 2668888 to 2678888, after mentioning that the auditors were planning to send a draft last Friday, but he wasn’t aware of any updates
UkoeHB and jberman had no objections, but jberman suggested postponing the delay until there was better clarity regarding multisig, which was tied up by a 3rd party
ArticMine questioned the proposed length of the delay
selsta suggested that a final decision should be taken during the next dev meeting (date TBD); ArticMine agreed;
Rucknium proposed keeping the current date and delaying the multisig fix to a post-HF release; ofrnxmr agreed; selsta stressed the importance of giving everyone enough time to update
jberman agreed with ooo123ooo1234567: HF date should be set after code is ready, not before
selsta confirmed that the code is almost ready, specified that the remaining tasks were 1) trezor firmware update date and 2) ledger finishing integration and stated that the HF is not months away
selsta pointed out that since luigi was also unavailable for a bit, the 2 weeks delay is the only viable option
