Re: 🌟🚀 [Pre-ANN] AZULIK: adding privacy to DAG fee-less instant transactions 🌟🚀

I almost fell for Stone, watching Manta closely, and adding Azulik to the list.

Wanted to write why i think byteballs black bytes are not the best way to implement this:
1. It's peer to peer and not stored on the graph, and needs to be exchanged later.
2. To keep them 'yours', you need to either back them up or use multisig wallet to keep them synced.

Neither is ideal.

In one of the messages you mentioned 1. instant transactions OR privacy.

Privacy must be default - this is monero's approach. I concur. IN the end state, if cryptos become the default way of doing payments, not many people will enable privacy, and those that will will be under scrutiny.

Zcash does zkSNARKS but your claim is it's not easy to apply it to DAG (i am not sure, didn't think deeply, and haven't yet read the paper fully). With Zcash there are t- and z- wallets, which are kind of interesting to work with. Didn't look ideal after getting used to monero.

You mentioned privacy would reduce throughput and increae transaction time significantly, by how much?


As for practical aspects:
1. Do you expect to implement light node/wallet (this is on raiblock list) so some reuse may happen.
2. Even with zkSNARKS/etc there's still risk of leaking IP. Monero will be using Kovri for this (and they have explanation why TOR wont work), will you add this to your roadmap?
3. Distribution is still not clear, I Want to get some, either through whatever mechanism is used or through donation - can you make donation percentage allocation clear at some point soon?

Also:
How can I help? I am a SWE in one of the FANG companies with good opensource experience. I find less and less free time after working on my side project, but this looks sufficiently interesting to pause them.




Azulik people, can you please comment on this?

0.5% Fee, 12% block reward, 10% contribution reward, community fund 0.5%

Miner e-mail alerts now online! Do not miss a single share when your miner unexpectedly goes offline. Just register your miner and enable e-mail alerts for it.

ENJOY! Smiley

What has happened to this coin lol! My 10 i7s seem to produce about 500 a day, on a lucky day. I thought it was your pool, but from what I'm reading this is the general state of affairs. Maybe mister 323 servers is taking the loot, more likely GPU guys.

The Linux version had a bad habit of crashing on me, have not tried yet the new one from a few hours ago.

What's that 323 servers thing?

Also i didn't see mention of account balance privacy, will that happen?

how would people know that this address belongs to you anyway ?? *just sayin*

When you make a sufficiently large purchase, and your balance is now less.
Again, haven't read the paper yet, that's why this may be a moot concern.

I think it was the case that if you used some address, you'd get rewarded for one of them, not all.
I might be mistaken, but after setting up my machines with different wallets, my earnings skyrocketed.

If you have multiple computers mining on the same wallet address, the pool will add hashrate and unpaid shares for all your miners under the same address.

Is this new? I think i lost many coins because of not realizing this early on, probably ~100K or so as i was early in the game, and using 5-6 machines Sad sad.

Single sign on has existed for a loong time. This idea does not need blockchain, and this is useless. Do not donate.

Hi!

I have a doubt. I have some computers mining to the same wallet and I see weird things since some hours ago...

I've been mining all night and the earnings were almost 0. I checked the logs and sometimes I get rewards pretty quickly but after some time my miner return big part of the earnings to the pool. Is that a normal behaviour?

Thanks

I generated separate wallets because of this.

Thank you. Do you mind putting your monero view key to make it transparent to audit, like others are.

I greatly appreciate your transparency.

I asked this but somehow didn't post;


> Our current donation rates are 1 BTC = 1,650,000 MANTA, and 1 XRB = 3150 MANTA.

Is this set rate, or variable? Does it also mean if you get 15BTC, you'd exceed the supply for donators? or do you plan to do .2*supply / donation amount

When is the last date where you consider ending early donations? I want to donate, but i have the money deployed in speculative places. I am willing to accelerate my mini-vesting schedule depending.

I am super interested in zkSNARKS/zkSTARKS, so I am watching really closely. I read the paper i references, and i am looking forward to see what you are baking.

MantaCurrency: Great, i like to meet you guys, and having real id attached with potential track record in crpyto/noncrypto would certainly help.
Here are my personal milestones:

whitepaper that's original: 0.25btc.
Github repo and first weeks of activity: another 0.25 btc.
founder ids: 0.25btc

The rest 0.25btc is left for other potential milestones or achievements i haven't anticipated.

and i will buy lots of coins if i am more convinced, when it is live.

Devs, are you willing to reveal your ids and your profiles/work and so on?

If you have startd prototyping, a git hub would be useful too.

I was and still am interested in stone, but i still have doubts about donating.

I was planning to drop 1btc but now i am leaning towards doing in milestones.


This would greatly help
