Title: [XMR] Monero technical info.
Post by: Severos on August 23, 2017, 03:33:41 PM
I have a graduation project this year, so I'm thinking about using the same technologies used by Monero for sending transactions (ring signature and idk what else they use).
Basically, I'm looking to send transactions in an anonymous way, and receivers need to be clear (no need for stealth addresses), goes without saying being able to verify the transaction, also, I'd like to use it separated from mining logic as the application I have in mind wouldn't need to mine blocks.
So I'm looking for more technical guides on how those things work and how to implement them (or use already existing codes), also a non-technical videos to help me illustrating the idea to use them as reference when making video presentation for the project.

Thanks in advance.

Then I would look at Riccardo Spagni aka fluffypony videos which is the main dev of Monero:

There's endless resources on the internet, just search about ring signatures.

I'm looking more into the stuff with codes already existing, rebuilding the whole system from ground up wouldn't be an easy task in the given time and resources.

Thanks for the references, I'll look at them when I'm back from work.

Monero is based on the cryptonote protocol and is specifically a fork of bytecoin: https://cryptonote.org
