My analysis thus far is that the best technology for privacy of a real-time transactions block chain will be my technology, which is a combination of homomorphic value implemented with my (yet unpublished, no peer review) elimination of the proof-of-square in
Compact Confidential Transactions (assuming
I don't have a math error) instead of Blockstream's much less efficient Compact Transactions, combined with my recent (unpublished, yet peer review vetted privately) innovation to remove the simultaneity requirement from CoinJoin. That CCT innovation is from the June 2015
Zero Knowledge Transactions (of which an excerpt from the white paper was already published to the Monero Speculation thread with the specific item above redacted).
I believe this will beat both Zerocash and Cryptonote for the actual use case that is going to be mass adopted.
This statement can't be verified until white papers are published.
Unfortunately from myself has been a lot of research but not enough coding.
I am in the midst of trying to reorient my habits, but my chronic health issue is a major hindrance. It is not clear yet if I can still be productive as a programmer. I came back just now with some renewed vigor, after a few days of being off the computer and focusing on intense exercise, massive amount of eating (actually I am losing weight & gaining muscle mass while eating so much which is a sign that maybe my pre-illness metabolism is returning), resting my eye(s) (blind in one eye), and trying to set up a sandwich shop business (for my gf and some cash flow for myself)....Also PoS (including DPoS) is basically a permissioned, centralized system, because the whales will control it.
If we just wanted a centralized, persmissioned system, then we don't need block chains. We could do that more efficiently. We have it already, it is named Paypal.
The only way you scale this globally, is if nobody owns it. This is why Paypal can't disrupt the existing financial structure of the world. Too many vested interests fighting turf battles.
So yes, you will need my design.
I already know what I have. The only issue is my health. I am fighting very hard to overturn a chronic health condition. 3 hours nonstop in the gym yesterday, then running in the evening, then running again this morning. Had my entire body coated in 25% oregano oil, turned red. Totally exhausted in the evening, slept like a rock could barely move. Jumped out of bed full of energy. Age 51, my eyes totally blurred when I get off the computer can't even see anyone's face. Got off the computer for 2 days and could start to see again.
So I won't be posting much. I am in a battle right now and the only thing that matters now is action. I don't know if this old body, eyes, health of mine is going to perform or not. But now I am just going to be off this forum and fighting for it with 110% effort.
