I have used Monero and am familiar with a MIXIN of 3. Is this equivalent to a ringsize of 3?
If so what comments do you have about the massive diff in ringsize numbers employed by the two coins?
SDC developers seem more inclined to bloat up their blockchain by defaulting to massive (imo unnecessarily so) ring signatures. Also, these Shadow tokens apparently get relatively little use or your blockchain would be 5-20 times the size of XMR's blockchain due to that.
actually i dont think the bloat you describe exists. will confirm.
It's in the white paper section 5.1
The affine coordinates are 64 bytes per ring member per coin value.
Shadow also has somewhat larger transactions than XMR too, because it uses fewer denominations (just 1, 3, 4, 5 instead of 1-9). That is an arguable tradeoff but it does make things bigger (to send 9 you have to send 4 and 5, so two sigs, not just 9).
Interesting. Will forward this on to the relevant peoples for extra confirm.
Sufficed to say Shadow and Monero have much in common, except we got bigger default ring sizes (sounds dirty) and a shinier wallet
(+ POS, BTC fork yada yada yada)
Thanks for dialoguing. gn
