Lelantus
cryptographic building blocks have been built
Sigma for double blinded commitments with batching
Bulletproofs for double-blinded commitmtsn with batching
LelantusProof and LelantusVeirfy functions which generate and verify transaction proofs with multiple input and output coins (combination of Sigma, bulletproofs and balance proofs).
Code clean up is happening and to be verified before implementation
Sigma
Implementing ECDSA signature scheme similar to what we have for Zerocoin to address the “Burning Zerocoins for Fun and Profit” vulnerability.
Testnet is coming online soon. Slight delays due to fee handling.
Working on Sigma partial spend feature (where output is an arbitrary amount and the change is reminted) and should be able to push code soon.
MTP
New ccminer released with updated bos jansson.
Sgminer feedback is stable
CPU miner: working on some issues where cpuminer stops mining intermittently.
Added on Nicehash. To monitor available hashrate to evaluate 51% attack risk.
Hashrate has increased significantly. Pools do not suspect FPGA/ASIC as it looks to be more of a combined effect of MTP being listed as the most profitable on Whattomine and Nicehash
Python module for MTP being coded to evaluate whether MTP decentralized P2Pool is possible.
Core Upgrade
Upgrade to 0.14 is more or less complete but 0.17 is delayed
This is due to masternode code from Dash is designed for 0.13/0.14.
Using core upgrade opportunity to update masternode code then upgrade to 0.17
Once masternode code is integrated upgrade from 0.14 to 0.17 is simpler.
Electrum MTP
Detected a bug where Electrumx doesn’t react too well in chain forks. Fixing
Themis: Smart Contract Capability
Discussion on EVM vs WASM
Smart contract second layer which utilize Zcoin opcodes.
Discussion on whether EVM should only be validated by Znodes
Code is being updated to core 0.17 as well.
GUI
Some small bugs in relating to spending multiple Zerocoins in one tx due to the way weightage is calculated.
To fix completely, will need a hard fork for it to be clean. To do this with Sigma.
Resolving then proceeding with public beta release.
