Mathematicians are not inherently good cryptographers as it is another field of study entirely, requiring thorough knowledge of both
Examination of the Telegram chat client is a good case study.

not if it has a backdoor.... there is always danger NSA has an entry point on demand.. and no one can compete with their mathematics talent pool... its a challenge for sure.. so when you say cook something inside.. maybe simpler is better..
Why yes, yes it is

Madars Virza
MIT
Madars is a current computer science PhD candidate at MIT, where he focuses on zero-knowledge cryptography. He has had numerous publications on zkSNARKs, a topic that is central to the Zerocash protocol. Madars has presented his work at conferences across the world, including both the 2013 and 2014 International Cryptology Conference.
That's awesome and all but he has the impeccable look of an evil genious.
I suppose Zcash will achieve incredible success
Looks like he can't be older than 24 lol

X11 has ASIC devices on the market.. for some time now.. but difficulty is so high right now they dont care..

well. I'll be keeping my tinfoil hat on this full-time.
The FBI/CIA paid MIT techs to deanonymize TOR nodes so that is not something to be taken lightly
Elliptic Curve /Digital Signature Algorithms (ECDSA)'s are published usually by either NIST,
the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or the NRC National Research Council in canada.
https://citizenlab.org/2015/08/canadas-quiet-history-of-weakening-communications-encryption/
I don't believe math in and of itself has backdoors. Wether standardized encryption algorithms could is debatable.
It requires a foundationally sound understanding of Calculus to reach accurate conclusions.
AFAIK Monero is the only cryptocurrency to have viable secure ring signature implementations. any other altcoin that has attempted cryptonote implementation or similar has suffered major setbacks, either from unexpected vulnerabilities or issues in upgrading or modifying database functionality

Could I please get some more info on this coin? Is there a whitepaper I can read?
It's not immediately obvious to me what the coin does or how it does it, beyond being anonymity centered. Definitely want to learn more.
Pablo.

It's a DASH clone with PoS after the initial PoW period. There is no whitepaper as there isn't a need for one yet.
It has a very unique feature in the works, Truly Untraceable Transactions, which we'll now more about later on.
It will also have a dynamic mechanism to balance the rate of PoS & masternode payments once it's on PoS.
Thank you.

OOOoo, maybe I could add a wallet widget that grabs these stats
my bet and re-iterate is zero cash protocol as soon as library is stable to be able to run thru the process here before everyone else..
would take 1 to 3 solid c++ developers with cryptographic experience.. hopefully... you get proper attention from the community
I noticed the Blockstream Thunder net announcement and will be looking closely at that, as well as whatever zcash is doing and determining the most viable option. for untraceable we may end up cooking something in-house
absolutely great, glad to hear it.. zcash as in current git is buggy , and it is run mostly by academics.. some folks from Technion from Israel some from Berkley.. they are really focusing on closing any crypto loopholes...
it will take some time before is market ready for sure
zcash uses this lib quite heavily.. but yeah as said, its bunch of academics with phd's in CS probably using it as a testing ground for their research work,, which is fine.. job of dnet would be commercialization of their work (although I do see ie Swiss bank as their investor advisor or maybe even shadow sponsor)
master nodes transacting untraceably with tor or no tor.. now that would push this to several millions of MC... cheers

not so bad.. to me order book looks like this, several large buys for master nodes of 10K has occurred , one carrying 0.00000729 price tag
https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-DNET
are you a dash representative lol.. as this would directly compete for the market place and it will
I am not a dash repressentative. Just considering setting up some DNET masternodes.https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-DNET

a! no problem just kidding with ya.. np.. so yeah order book has now shifted... to the green.. dont forget that # of available dnet has shrank and we are approaching end of POW..and into POS.. and even ethereum will be going POS.. you have some time not much but some
cheers

looks like 30 bucks per master node.. as opposed how much for dash ? 8 x 1000 = 8000$ ... now that is a car lol (almost a nice downpayment)

This book does not look promising 
Any plans on working with Dark markets on acceptance?
Also mixing is what the development will be focused on, right? Coz Dash mixing does not work very well.
Are you going to implement the liquidity providers or you have something else brewing?

nice movement on the exchange, volume of course is still not there, but I worry 0 as coin is under active research and development, it is a long term thing, next week I will be adding 4 more master nodes, for the total of 20, selling nothing, believe have velocity and hardware for additional 6 afterwards , and then we move to POS production
thanks and have a great weekend!
What service you are using for setup Masternode?thanks and have a great weekend!

can't tell due to the security, but I overpay slightly for better hardware, which does translate in master nodes "wins" for sure
ay.. dash will hit 10$ any day now... this is like a second chance for people.. in addition it is good to have alternative flexible coin an agile coin like this one.. dash is way too "tight" not to mention expensive... we will get there..

How many masternodes already online? Any site to check it?
4 posts above this onehttp://178.254.23.111/~pub/DN/DN_masternode_payments_stats.html
Is there any trustless service for setting up masternodes like node40, or masternode.me for dash?
