Post-Cryptographic Research

[nopara73]

After we release the draft on the cryptographic primitives, here's a list of ideas on what questions we should research and settle to come up with the final protocol.

Scheduling

• phases
• blame phase

Input Eligibility

• Minimum value of UTXO to be accepted for registration.
• Unconfirmed vs Confirmed
• Max number of inputs to kick off a round.

Fees

• How network fees are paid?

Amounts

• How it is the best to organize output values.

Ensuring Integrity of Coordinator Parameters

• Ensuring integrity of blind signing key - OP_RETURN without OP_RETURN cashshuffle/spec#22

Discussing Various Attacks

• Timing Attacks
• DoS Attacks
• Sybil Attacks

IMO we could start with the "Ensuring Integrity of Coordinator Parameters" as that can be settled quickly and independently.

Then move on to Amounts as many of the other things depend on that.

general ACK.

However, what about the review process of the crypto magic?

That's why we release the draft.
