Someone just posted on the ML ``` I'd like to propose an idea of a simple logarithmic-size ring signature scheme which can be used in the blockchain and related applications. The signature is called LS-LSAG, a draft of it is available at In making this announcement I'd like to ask the community to comment on the idea if anyone is interested. LS-LSAG has such a design so that it can drop-in replace the well-known linear-size LSAG/CLSAG signature. Also, it looks compatible with the full-chain Curve Trees, which in turn can drop-in replace both LS-LSAG and LSAG/CLSAG at the price of using one more curve with specific properties. In more detail, LS-LSAG is built up of almost the same systems of equations as LSAG/CLSAG. However, it makes a call to the inner-product argument instead of doing the sequential challenges. This results in the size reduction from linear to logarithmic and in the compatibility with LSAG/CLSAG. Particularly, LS-LSAG and LSAG has the same key image. Formally, LS-LSAG is a log-size linkable ring signature without trusted setup in a pairings-free prime-order group of EC points under the DL assumption. Unforgeability of LS-LSAG follows from the DL and collision-resistance of the standard hash-to-curve function, the draft contains a detailed proof sketch of this. ``` @waxwing did you see it?

Been running #Floresta on mainnet for over 24h. The performance isn't the best, but I could use it with my own wallet seamless. Now I'm working on rustreexo to solve one big performance bottleneck that only shows itself on big proofs.

Fvck. Just found out that one of the oldest archeological sites ever discovered is a 2h drive from where I'm, but I have a conference to attend. Maybe just drop the conference 🤣

Wallet implementers, what is the best way to drop scrip hashes in the Electrum Protocol? I'm working on a lightweight client that has an integrated #Electrum Server for wallets to connect (and started a new EPS-like client). The fact that users have to copy their xpub and paste in the software before running sounds very stupid to me. I also want to use BIP158 compact block filters, so I can allow users to add new wallets with very minimal waiting time, but there's a problem: Electrum (the protocol) sends **hashes** of scripts, not the actual script. That sucks because BIP158 uses the actual script. We could solve both problems by having a way for wallets to communicate their addresses to a server. AFAIK, the argument for sending hashes instead of addresses is privacy, but it is a very week privacy, there's no forward secrecy, if you ever get paid on that address, the server know what the address actually is. For my use-case, simply sending the address (at least once) is enough. Now I'm thinking what kind of extension I can make to the basic protocol to let clients communicate the address, without breaking compatibility with other software. Something like some new methods that behaves exactly like the current ones, but you send the address (not hash). What do you guys think? #bitcoin #wallet #plebchain
