[ANN] MRL recommendation: Ban spy node IP addresses from connecting to your node
The Monero Research Lab (MRL) has decided to recommend that all Monero node operators enable a ban list of suspected spy node IP addresses. The spy nodes can reduce the privacy of Monero users. cuprate developer Boog900 discovered these spy nodes and created an IP address ban list. Developers and researchers associated with MRL (list names) have indicated their approval of this list by signing it with their PGP keys.

[ANN] Privacy and Anonymity in Monero
I have a written a blog post on how Monero uses Cryptography (ECDH, Pedersen Commitments, Schnorr Signatures, Ring Signatures etc) to add privacy & anonymity on the blockchain. I have covered most of the cryptography used except for RangeProofs (Bulletproofs) which I plan to cover later in a separate post. Do let me know if you find any mistakes or if something isn’t clear.

[ANN] A faster alternative to blockchain consensus
Instead of confirmation coming from outside of transactions, it would be better for it to come from within them. Ideally, every output would be tied to the input that spends it, so it can’t be double-spent. But, this can’t be done before the input exists, so the output must be tied to an intermediary, which gets tied to the input after it’s created.
