We're using https://github.com/w3f/schnorrkel/blob/master/src/derive.rs in Polkadot, except our path parsing logic exists outside schnorrkel itself, and we slightly miss-used the chain-code there due to internal miss-comunication. I'd expect Stellar has their...

I haven't dug into the code yet. Is there a signature happening inside the SNARK using the jubjub trick or something more general?

I think I see. You can only use each leaf once in principle, so you avoid revealing it. There are reputation systems should work like currency and only permit themselves...

I'd just say "post-quantum anonymity" as opposed to "post-quantum financial soundness" because "forward-private" sounds too much like "forward-secure", which always denotes an improvement, not a weakening. If folk want post-quantum...

Any zero-knowledge proof system has some language constraints. There are some schemes with languages that sound more flexible than R1CS but all impose vaguely similar constraints. We're also never _doing_...

All curves should implement hash-to-curve really.

Agreed about the name. Also I'd prefer if the code supported the aura-like block time being slower than the babe slot time, although I know they'll use the same for...

Just fyi, we've a BLS implementation at https://github.com/w3f/bls with reasonable abstractions for curve orientation, optimized versifiers https://github.com/w3f/bls/blob/master/src/verifiers.rs and aggregation strategies. It eventually needs an affine/projective abstraction that hides the base...

I presume Graphene OS still uses the grsec kernel build? Hashbang OS too? Isn't relocking the boot loader available by default in Graphene OS? I think much of the complexity...
