Rucknium submits CCS proposal for 3 months of Monero statistical research
Rucknium1 has submitted a new CCS proposal2 to conduct statistical research for 3 more months in an effort to improve Monero’s privacy and security:
I propose to carry out research to improve Monero’s privacy & security, guide protocol decisions, and respond to Monero developer requests for statistical analysis of code changes where needed. [..] Network privacy and OSPEAD journal submission will likely be prioritized over mining pool concentration research if there is not enough time to complete all three items.
Proposed funding: 87 XMR.
ETA: 3 months.
Tasks overview
- Researching how network-level privacy can be improved3
- OSPEAD Journal Submission4
- Mining Pool Concentration
- tie up a few loose ends from earlier work5
Rucknium is an empirical microeconomist and a key Monero contributor. Consult previous Monero Observer reports to learn more about their work6.
