Is the guy also working on de-anomyzing darksent(d)s?
No, he stumbled upon it whilst working on Ring Confidential Transactions for Monero. Perhaps if a bounty was offered he would try.
Maybe we should set up a bounty to be paid via budget proposal if anyone succeeds.
Someone proposed to do that a year ago but had no luck.
I approve the proposal as well.
I wonder why nobody wants to pay for the hard work of bug hunting (ie vulnerability/penetration testing).
Does the community want Dash to really be secure, or do they want to avoid hearing unpleasant facts about its cargo cult bamboo version of good crypto?
I would never prioritize marketing fluff like soda machines and strippers over vital security improvements, and don't understand why anyone would (unless they are just here to push a scam).
