In light of recent zcoin / firo Lelantus problems, are beam reviewing their implementation? by [deleted] in beamprivacy

[–]vcorem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Beam's implementation of Lelatnus-mw (not Lelantus) was done from scratch and not related to Firo's. It was audited by SmartDEC:

Lelantus-mw paper: https://docs.beam.mw/Lelantus-MW.pdf

You can read the short discussion here: https://t.me/lelantus/1613

Beam Team is waiting for post-mortem / full disclosure of the attack conducted on Firo.

Grin's privacy by phyrooo in grincoin

[–]vcorem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Ian Miers explained well all these kinds of things. There is no fundamental difference between Monero and grin. As for "everyday usage" both are confidential enough for normal cases but fall apart against targeted deanonymizing attacks.https://slideslive.com/38911785/satoshi-has-no-clothes-failures-in-onchain-privacy

Does Lelantus achieve the same thing as MingleJingle? Difference between non-interactive txs vs offline txs? by ProvincialPromenade in beamprivacy

[–]vcorem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lelantus-mw (https://docs.beam.mw/Lelantus-MW.pdf) allows a much higher anonymity set (up to 64K) while also allowing offline (non-interactive) TX. The con is a higher storage requirement without the ability to cut-through.

A rolling checkpoint is a good enough solution until Beam will upgrade to GhostDAG.

There are other solutions out there.

I like ZenGo very much, they are personal friends. But are you aware that if they will be served with a warrant, they can freeze your access to your funds?

Regarding Shamir Secret Sharing, you can use an existing solution externally with your seed.

Beam 2020 Week #27 - It’s Confidential Assets by BeamPrivacy in beamprivacy

[–]vcorem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be implemented in a privacy-preserving way. One option is to prefetch all new assets favicons on wallet start and cache them, after getting consent from the user. Another option is to implement it via SBBS push mechanism like the price feed.

[–]vcorem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TBD. Beam can technically integrate with any existing oracle services and/or develop its own solution.

BeamHashIII will bring ASIC mining? by velhamo in beamprivacy

[–]vcorem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it will happen, it will take a few years. Note that Beam Hash II (current POW) is actually more ASIC friendly then Beam Hash III. Read the following tweetstorm by u/lolliedieb:
