[ANN] OSPEAD - Optimal Ring Signature Research

New research reveals the timing of Monero spending patterns in probabilistic form. The research could be used to improve Monero user privacy in the future. In the meantime, Monero users with extreme threat models should be aware that anti-privacy adversaries can leverage timing information to increase the probability of guessing the real spend in a ring signature to approximately 1-in-4.2 instead of 1-in-16.
