One thing that amazes me is how ad-hoc the #Bitcoin p2p protocol is. There isn't even a message to close the connection, just shut the stream down and keep moving.

In response to the #Brazilian government's imposed restrictions on VPNs, Isabela Fernandes, Executive Director of the Tor Project, has authored a guest post for

I don't care what other do, but the exec director posted an article that stars by licking Alexander's boots and regurgitating the regime's propaganda.
I thought tor was about helping circumventing censorship and fighting for human rights. But apparently that's not what the decision making people think, so I don't want anything with it.

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 https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/921
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.

Ofc you can also:
Drop Stratum/Electrum completely
Send the xpub OR descriptor in a new method (only for personal servers)
Send the address as a second parameter to the method that requires a address hash

2024-06-09 10:25:26

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?

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.” - Alexander Tyler, 1787
