I wish more people were aware of MRL. Monero is the only coin that I'm aware of, apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum, that has people consistently performing academic-style research in the background and publishing papers of a certain level (ie not crap). People frequently underestimate the difficulty and the importance of this. Would be even more sweet if we got them peer reviewed. Yah know, its not impossible to get things published in PLOS. Afaik there are almost no scholarly publications that accept work from pseudonymous or anonymous authors. Even the blockchain journal started by Peter_R said they wouldn't accept anonymous submissions except under extraordinary circumstances I think. Well wouldn't Ricardo (fluffypony) be an exception? Or is that name pseudononymous too?

It's not, but he didn't write the papers, afaik.
Worth a shot I guess, GingerAle, assuming the authors have any interest in it.

It makes one wonder what PLOS does to _verify_ an author's identity. Do they only accept submissions from people who are already known... or could you fabricate a plausible name and curriculum vitae? I'm not sure it matters though. The PLOS publications all seem to concern biology, medical science and the like. No math-y journals, at least I don't find any.
I think generally you submit from a .edu or .gov email address, or IBM.com email or whatever, and that is a decent verification that you are who you say you are and you work where you say you work. PLOS One publishes science, period. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/search?q=cryptography&filterJournals=PLoSONEI think if the email came from a monero domains (specifically, the core-team managed domain getmonero.org), it would be fine. There's nothing in the submission guidelines that suggests otherwise. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/submission-guidelinesEach author on the list must have an affiliation. The affiliation includes department, university, or organizational affiliation and its location, including city, state/province (if applicable), and country.
I think its doable. The formatting of the MRL docs would need to be modified and we'd need to properly cite more things. For instance, the footnote on the final page of MRL1 "[3]See what I did there?" would need to go. In general, the tone of bulletin 1 is a bit colloquial. Our Scientists are not anon so couldn't Noblesir publish a paper (specifically on his work) and reference (cite) the anon papers? And he peer reviewed those papers correct? I know they have been peer reviewed and thats all it should take I would think.

A friend of mine shared this article with me today. Since he does security work on networks and the like for a living I always take what he says seriously about hacking. He has also been a supporter of Monero since I got involved almost two years ago. https://www.guardicore.com/2016/06/the-photominer-campaign/

Monero still very strong coin, and soon perhaps any country in the world can be interested in this coin.

I'm glad to see that this article covered many of the shuffling methods, and that it also rightly concluded that none of them are 100% untraceable. Guess what is 100% untraceable? And also 100% fungible, private, and decentralized? <3 Monero

It seems to me that the Monero in their basic characteristics reminiscent of Bitcoin.

Thanks. I never really took my eye off of Monero, I just have lacked the time to interact with the community recently. I was not going to log in today until I noticed the Chesscoin ICO announcement and felt the need to share my (very negative) feelings about it.

He has also been a supporter of Monero since I got involved almost two years ago. https://www.guardicore.com/2016/06/the-photominer-campaign/Earlier in this thread maybe a year or so ago, there was a few posts by somebody who claimed to be part of a eastern european hacker group that was highly interested in Monero. (I cant seem to find the post since I cannot remember the name of the group. But i remember them saying that their hacker group was their username) Id say there is a good chance they are involved with this. Edit found the post of interest. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg8381682#msg8381682This makes it the first exposed botnet/malware utilizing Monero.

Hopefully more botnet operators notice this and help increase network security - more hashrate together with more competition.

I believe that now is Bitcoin correction and at this moment Moenero should not miss the chance and say to myself, very powerful!
