Monero Research Lab meeting scheduled for 16 March 2022 1700 UTC

The next Monero Research Lab¹ meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, March 16th 2022 at 17:00 UTC.

The meeting should take place on IRC-Libera/Matrix² in the #monero-research-lab channels.

Fee policy and dynamic block size discussion for upcoming hard fork (meta#630³, #7819⁴, MRL#70⁵)
Revisit @tevador’s idea to record account indices in the tx, to improve robustness of output recovery (logs⁶)
Focus on Seraphis address schemes and hopefully reach some kind of decision (or get closer, maybe narrow down the choices to 2 or 3) (MRL#92⁷, tevador’s JAMTIS⁸)
Adaptive CPU regulation for improved mining performance (maxwellsdemon)
Further analysis of July-Aug 2021 tx volume anomaly (logs⁹)
Improvements to the mixin selection algorithm (MRL#86¹⁰, JBerman’s update¹¹, MRL#88¹², Rucknium’s OSPEAD¹³)
Seraphis¹⁴/Triptych¹⁵/Lelantus Spark¹⁶ [..]

~~Note that this meeting’s chairperson and agenda are yet to be confirmed.~~

This meeting’s chairperson will be UkoeHB¹⁷. To view the full discussion topic list and propose an agenda item, post a comment on Github in #674¹⁸.

Logs for the previous MRL meeting are available on Github¹⁹.

Update: logs for this meeting are now available on Monerologs²⁰.

Meeting notes:

Rucknium has been working on OSPEAD research; was also looking to collect information on nonstandard Monero decoy selection algorithms²¹
UkoeHB discovered a Seraphis multisig protocol flaw, plans to open a new PR to fix this soon; also got aggregation-style multisig signing working²²
