Previous studies on nonce distribution for our POW algorithm suggest that our algorithm is behaving badly as a random oracle. Suggested change: instead of mining looking for H(block || nonce)*diff...
We model a single node's view of the blockchain to attain an estimate of expected spend-time of a given output on the Monero blockchain. We use the inter-transaction timing together...
Linkability in Monero is one of the older topics at MRL. It has been studied before (see [here](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-66399-9_9), [here](https://maltemoeser.de/paper/monerolink.pdf) and [here](https://github.com/b-g-goodell/research-lab/tree/master/publications/bulletins/MRL-0001-chain-rxns)); recent set-theoretic results (see [here](https://github.com/SarangNoether/research-lab/tree/master/publications/bulletins/in-prog/MRL-XXXX-spent)) and the start of...
> @gingeropolous: so the seed node thing always bums me out. Its like "in order to create a decentralized network, you need a centralized seeding system"..... A recent publication (see...
I'm going to leave notes on various papers on things like accumulators, verifiable constructions, etc, as I read through them here.
For easy checking of recipient addresses before sending, a utility for visualizing an address as a unique seashell can be found [here](https://github.com/b-g-goodell/research-lab/tree/master/source-code/iseeseashells); when displaying a public key for receiving Monero,...
**Request for Comments: MRL Conflict of Interest and Financial Disclosure Guidelines** *Sarang Noether and Brandon Goodell* Many people contribute to the Monero Project and its workgroups like the Monero Research...
We would like to see an investigation into the feasibility of placing STARKs (or even SNARKs? how about SNACKs? SHARKs?) inside bulletproofs, or just some general framework for how to...
In reference to [this comment](https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/29#issuecomment-391435342), it may be possible (although unnecessary) to develop some network-activity-based time series models for selecting transaction fees, to make something like fee structures algorithmically selected....
The code can be found [here](https://github.com/b-g-goodell/research-lab/tree/master/source-code/Spectre) although it fails unit tests. Requires a lot more work...
