Not sure if this was ever linked in this thread but here is a full paper on Daniel J Burnstein's Curve25519 in depth http://cr.yp.to/ecdh/curve25519-20060209.pdf

I really love this stuff. BUT, am not there yet. I pretty much need to keep my mind busy all the time or else damage ensues. Have some understanding of cryptography, or more like cryptographic algorithms, but does anyone have any resources that might slow down the math behind cryptographic algorithms at a pace I can step through. I dont mind looking up and learning some math along the way, or perhaps a lot of math. But understanding the effects of a cryptographic algorithm, and undestanding how it does what it does are two very different levels of understanding, and I would very much appreciate if someone could point me in a direction that would bridge that gap a bit.

I did not notice that he liked my Tweet (Peter Todd quote regarding bitcoin, shapeshift and monero) until just now. It somewhat surprised me since he does not yet follow me on Twitter. I would love to get a quote from him about his views on Monero and CryptoNote. I messaged Peter Todd in advance of the Tweet to ask for permission to use it. Similarly I wont do much to publicize the "like" from Szabo unless he says something more.

Seriously?



Am I the only one who just assumed he was already active in the community under a pseudonym? Of course someone like Szabo either a.) helped create Cryptonote/Monero or b.) learned about it pretty quickly after launch and got interested in it. Again, this isn't Nyancoin here - this is the most legitimate project since the original Bitcoin.



The only catch is that his name carries a lot of weight (and possibly a lot of unwanted attention at this stage) and so it might be best that he admires "from afar" for now.



This is similar to the fact that you can bet your sweet ass that people like the head of JP Morgan and Bank of America own a personal store of Bitcoins though they would never be caught dead admitting it.



Good news for people like me is that though quiet brilliance like Szabo and Turing moves and alters entire civilizations, it doesn't necessarily sell on stage. So as long as there are flesh monkeys to persuade, loud and motivational arrogance like me still has a role to play in this game.

It is clear that many people are observing Monero development with interest. In addition to the creator(s) of CryptoNote, much credit is owed to the Monero development team for overhauling the codebase to make it more efficient and easier to understand. Monero Research Labs deserves a lot of credit for vetting our ideas for future improvements in both privacy and usability.



As Monero evolves I expect more and more brilliant minds will take notice and become visibly involved. We are still at a very early stage.

- blockchain_export can now create files compatible with NoodleDoodle's fast sync code

- speedup for the one-time database rescan to initialize hard fork into

- database dump utility, intended to detect differences between the several blockchain formats

- a new status command in the daemon, giving more user oriented information

- and random other fixes for DB potential issues, some RPC commands not working properly



Git updates since last time:



- simplewallet can be set to use a different default mixin than 4 (eg, set default-mixin

- more hardfork voting changes: first hard fork will not be voted on, due to complicated issues with alt chains

- block time change from 1 minute to 2 minutes (to take effect at the next fork)

- new show_transfers simplewallet command, to show in/out transactions in a more user friendly way

- more daemon commands now work again on the development branch, using 0MQ

i have this idea for long time with monero. its not so important now, but no one can really predict how monero will perform under load. so better we find out.

does anybody know how they do it in bitcoin? do they even have this kind of setup?



would love to help build this up synthetically, maybe so that it can be repeatet without burning too much money all the time. sure we would need help from devs for this, a special fork with premine that we flush again would maybe be best? or are there other ways to do it?



how many nodes? how strong would they need to be with what kind of connection? what about the spammers, how much



all bullshit? good idea? please tell



btw check the very nice question in this video too:



the answer is simply: MONERO (but no mention at all)

totally doable. Monero has a testnet. It would just require getting a bunch of testnet coins, which are really easy to get. I have 10s of thousands! Fluffy's a testnet millionaire.



So you'd just get a bunch of vps all over the world, load up testnet daemons, make scripts to mimic real world activity, and then watch the adaptive blocksize grow.



in essense, we already watched monero perform under load with the block 2610212098473097403232 whatever the hell it is attack. And good for it, because that attack broke monero, and then it was fixed, so yeah. This kind of stuff is useful!



Hah, at 31:60 they talk about privacy.



MONERO!!!! I JUST WANT TO SHOUT MONERO!



i somehow think testnet is not the right place to do it..we should not ruin the testnet chain that has (will have?) a hard fork inside and many different kind of transactions with a lot of spam.

the testnet chain is valuable because it has history inside. this helps when testing other stuff. but for load testing we dont need this

but maybe i could be wrong
