research-lab VS meta

One of many open research questions u/Rucknium has listed here (under "Reducing or eliminating 10 block lock with acceptable drawbacks"). There is a chance of it being reduced but its "complicated"

Welcome! I wrote this list of Monero's open research questions: https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/94

We also established an official list of topics we want to fund, expanding on the broad space of Monero. This is intended to help people realize actual tasks they may want to complete on behalf of Monero, rather than just the idea of tasks, and extends Monero's open research questions. We're further interested in security proofs, ensuring Monero's integrity, historic and present, and work on arithmetic-circuit based membership proofs. Arithmetic-circuit based membership proofs would remove ring signatures, and the statistical analysis possible on them, entirely, for complete privacy of which output you're spending.

There is actually something called a "truncated address", which is transparent by default. It is mentioned in the original CryptoNote whitepaper on page 8, but I don't think the official wallet software supports it. You could emulate it by calculating the view key manually as a = H(B).

Monero's privacy (i.e. fungibility) guarantees, while being extremely good, are still not mature enough to ossify the protocol yet, see here;

Recommended Light Wallets on the Reddit sidebar and getmonero.org site should follow the Light Wallet API spec (https://github.com/monero-project/meta/blob/master/api/lightwallet_rest.md) and allow users to safely specify their own light wallet server URL in a very similar way that any other recommended wallet allows you to safely specify and use your own Monero node URL, otherwise, I believe these wallets should not be listed, or recommended. And, of course, the wallet should function in the same way with a user-provided URL as it does with the default, proprietary server, so long as the user-provided server follows the Light Wallet API spec.

Another big discussion planned for tomorrow, Wednesday, 8 March 2023: https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/808

A little late to the party; A long time ago I did some brainstorming about this myself:

Here you go, audit should be found here
