In the world of architectural trade-offs, specifically: confidentiality versus base layer performance, and in the current regulatory environment, as global monetary affairs begin to get "more real," I'm now leaning towards greater confidentiality rather than my earlier preference for performance.
Do Ring sigs with Stealth addresses impede blockchain performance or do they mis-align with Bitcoin's longer term dev roadmap? ~ TC ________________________________________ From: bitcoin-dev-boun...@lists.linuxfoundation.org <bitcoin-dev-boun...@lists.linuxfoundation.org> on behalf of bitcoin-dev-requ...@lists.linuxfoundation.org <bitcoin-dev-requ...@lists.linuxfoundation.org> Sent: Monday, October 28, 2019 8:00 AM To: bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org Subject: bitcoin-dev Digest, Vol 53, Issue 41 Send bitcoin-dev mailing list submissions to bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to bitcoin-dev-requ...@lists.linuxfoundation.org You can reach the person managing the list at bitcoin-dev-ow...@lists.linuxfoundation.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of bitcoin-dev digest..."

Fwd: node-Tor is now open source in clear (and modular) (Aymeric Vitte) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2019 11:33:32 +0100 From: Aymeric Vitte <vitteayme...@gmail.com> To: Bitcoin Dev <bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org> Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Fwd: node-Tor is now open source in clear (and modular) Message-ID: <70e77789-9fce-0d54-0aed-361035e79...@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" FYI, javascript implementation of the Tor protocol on server side and inside browsers Not related directly to bitcoin-dev but might be of some use one day to anonymize bitcoin apps (light wallets for example) -------- Message transf?r? -------- Sujet?: node-Tor is now open source in clear (and modular) Date?: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 18:02:42 +0200 De?: Aymeric Vitte <vitteayme...@gmail.com> Pour?: tor-t...@lists.torproject.org Please see https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor and http://peersm.com/peersm2 This is a javascript implementation of the Tor protocol on server side (nodejs) and inside browsers, please note that it is not intended to add nodes into the Tor network, neither to implement the Tor Browser features, it is intended to build projects using the Tor protocol from the browser and/or servers (most likely P2P projects), the Onion Proxy and Onion Router functions are available directly inside the browser which establishes circuits with other nodes understanding the Tor protocol (so it's not a "dumb" proxy), but it can of course establish circuits with the Tor network nodes (see https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor#test-configuration-and-use) and act as a Tor node It is financed by NLnet via EU Horizon 2020 Next Generation Internet Privacy & Trust Enhancing Technologies, now open source under a MIT license and we made it modular, it is fast (extensively tested when video streaming was there, especially with bittorrent or ORDB concept) and the total unminified code (https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor/blob/master/html/browser.js) is only 1 MB (so ~600 kB minified) which is quite small for what it does, this is not a browser extension/module but pure js Possible next steps are to implement elliptic crypto and connections via WebRTC Snowflake (peersm2 above uses WebSockets a bit the way flashproxy was working, ie implementing the ws interface on bridges side), as well as integrating it with "Discover and move your coins by yourself" (https://peersm.com/wallet) for anonymous blockchain search and anonymous sending of transactions from the browser -- Move your coins by yourself (browser version): https://peersm.com/wallet Bitcoin transactions made simple: https://github.com/Ayms/bitcoin-transactions Zcash wallets made simple: https://github.com/Ayms/zcash-wallets Bitcoin wallets made simple: https://github.com/Ayms/bitcoin-wallets Get the torrent dynamic blocklist: http://peersm.com/getblocklist Check the 10 M passwords list: http://peersm.com/findmyass Anti-spies and private torrents, dynamic blocklist: http://torrent-live.org Peersm : http://www.peersm.com torrent-live: https://github.com/Ayms/torrent-live node-Tor : https://www.github.com/Ayms/node-Tor GitHub : https://www.github.com/Ayms -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
