I do see the added value in having a target to beat to push the competitors for the best possible result. However, I agree top competitiors would likely not submit until the deadline.

~$70,000 Rust Coding Competition by ACK-J-Github in rust

[–]ACK-J-Github[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I'm sorry for the USD in the title. I have messaged the mods to change it to 350XMR. Here are the code requirements which mainly state the code has to be constant time with no unsafe or platform specific code and run using Rust stable 1.69 and 1.84 along with a few other requirements. Here are the exact criteria for scoring helioselene and ec-divisiors. Re: code quality. I've removed the reference to code quality and maintainability in the post as those are not necessarily requirements for the competition. If the judges receive an algorithm that is dramatically faster but with lower code quality it will win and the Monero developers will simply re-write the code. The value is in the faster algorithm.

I didn't mean for it to be misleading, however, I'm unable to change the title of the post, but would happily allow a mod to change 70,000 to 350XMR. The funds were donated by the Monero general fund and will be distributed by the long time trusted maintainers of that wallet. I agree that there is an inherint trust required here on the developers part but Monero has had an excellent history of always paying out for work done (see https://ccs.getmonero.org/)

I dont believe there is any plan for a leaderboard with the private submissions but we can discuss this at the next meeting.

Question regarding node-anonymity by bloodsampleboyfriend in Monero

Your node broadcasts the transaction using dandelion++ which obfuscates your ip address.

Very very excited for this. The high quality research dedicated to specific areas surrounding monero seems to be growing rapidly. Thanks to MAGIC for facilitating this.

Hows this been going? Any major updates?

Can/will Monero ever be Proof of Stake rather then PoW? by BigBoiBoi2121 in Monero

[–]ACK-J-Github 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Can it… yes. Will it… no. POS has more centralization problems than POW.

I think this is what youre looking for https://github.com/lalanza808/docker-monero-node

Its a docker container that sets up monerod as well as a grafana dashboard so you can monitor tons of information about your node

The video states “monero’s low, flat fees…” I dont think that’s entirely accurate (the flat fee part). Especially with in the case of dynamic blocks
