Title: Trustless, Tradable, Reality-Based Contracts on cryptonote coins
Post by: romanbrown on February 06, 2015, 05:57:41 PM
Ive designed a very specific technical implementation to add trustless, tradable, contracts on the Cryptonote prototcol.

The whitepaper can be downloaded from Google drive

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B75gaqtEgDR8UHU2UVJ6TkYzMnRkdFFsbklBd3hVMDV1eDQw/view?usp=sharing

I am looking to implement this very soon on one of the existing Cryptonote coins.

Looking for suggestions, criticisms, anything that will facilitate this implementation. Unlike most other suggestions or whitepapers I have the full technical ability and experience to implement these changes. I don't want to deal with the prospect of launching a new coin, nor should I have to as these changes would only improve the features of an existing Cryptonote coin.

Hi Roman,

Very cool - I'll take a look at the whitepaper over the weekend, as will the rest of the Monero Research Lab (including surae;)

I see you've cross-posted this same message into three different sections of the forum - in order to avoid getting flagged for spam is it possible for you to pick a single post you'd like to use for further discussion?

Nope, it just means "as little reliance on central authorities as possible". In the same sense that Bitcoin is trustless - you don't have to rely on Visa or Mastercard or a bank to take care of the ledgers.

Was it implemented? Is it in the working? It'd be interesting to see such a thing on cryptonote, basically monero.

I'm implementing it on Pebblecoin - see the coin thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=909624.0 . Looking forward to see how it holds up!

Looks like really ground breaking work here. Congrats.

Not sure the last paragraph needed to be part of the WP though. Cheers.
