1. My concern is that in order for Alice to Pay Bob using payment ID, if that ID (random or not) is public information and the ID ends up in the blockchain, couldnt an attacker start creating a correlation predictor based on payments to the public ID? Also it is possible to send payments without any payment ID at least it worked in my tests.
2. Sorry, I am still learning cryptonote so I just assumed the dest address is there, I guess it is the payment ID address that is there and unless that was communicated privately, info is leaked
3. After fiddling with things all weekend (half a dozen places that assumed non-zero fees!), I did manage to get it working. My use case wont have any mining, just very low difficulty (big sleep in miner loop) so that we get blocks every minute.
After problems in every step of the process I finally got it to accept a no-fee tx and then finally release it tx from the mempool and once that worked, all seemed pretty happy. I've already premined 99.2% and when I get to 99.999% the block reward will be small enough to discourage any cheating. The purpose of pNXT is to map 1:1 to NXT so that people can send NXT from its web GUI and have it use boolberry cryptonote pNXT for the transfer.

P.S. Good point about 32 bit mode, it seems we need to use a memory mapped blockchain file for it to have a chance.
P.P.S. zerofees should encourage a lot of tx, which provides best privacy, at least from a practical point. I guess I need to think about regular purges. With pNXT it is a matter of forcing everyone to redeem it and reset the blockchain, but that does sound rather messy...
If you want learn cryptonote/boolberry you could learn this graph:
To be honest, i'm still not clear what are you going todo.If anyone figured out - please explain me in
Thanks. Yes, this ring sig is very similar to a design I came up with, I just didnt have the crypto background to do the advanced math.
I just want to allow NXT users to have a "private send" button that allows them to send NXT to where they want without anybody being able to figure it out. To do this I need a way to use cryptonote tech for a coin that exactly matches NXT market price. The only solution for that is to make a fork, hence pNXT.
Now I can zap pNXT around and also route it through BBR. I am also adding another layer of encryption so good luck to anybody trying to correlate payments.
