Hi, thanks for the questions. An update to node privacy is already planned, but there's no bounty as the devs have already done some work on it and will move to finishing that up as soon as wrapped Zano is launched.
The exact implementation of PoS with hidden amounts is still being finalized, but once it's done there will be a technical paper with details of the scheme for public review.
I'm not aware of any bounties for dev work at the moment, but I'll double-check it.
Ok, thanks for the clarifications. While I did see some
work on RingCT in the Github repository, I didn't see anything regarding any node privacy enhancement. As Zano use PoS, this is crucial : I could easily write a PoC which would associate an amount of Zano to an IP address, simply by observing how often an IP address would mint a new PoS block. This is a big threat to privacy, and could put any person owning a good amount of Zano and running a node from home in physical danger. I do understand that dev' time is not unlimited, and this is why I asked if any bounty was open, which could spare some time to official Zano developers, and benefits to the whole community.
Thanks again for the transparency, I'll watch blog posts with attention.
Regards
