[ANN] MRL recommendation: Ban spy node IP addresses from connecting to your node
The Monero Research Lab (MRL) has decided to recommend that all Monero node operators enable a ban list of suspected spy node IP addresses. The spy nodes can reduce the privacy of Monero users. cuprate developer Boog900 discovered these spy nodes and created an IP address ban list. Developers and researchers associated with MRL (list names) have indicated their approval of this list by signing it with their PGP keys.

[ANN] Privacy and Anonymity in Monero
I have a written a blog post on how Monero uses Cryptography (ECDH, Pedersen Commitments, Schnorr Signatures, Ring Signatures etc) to add privacy & anonymity on the blockchain. I have covered most of the cryptography used except for RangeProofs (Bulletproofs) which I plan to cover later in a separate post. Do let me know if you find any mistakes or if something isn’t clear.

“No NAT November: My Month Without IPv4”
In his post “No NAT November: My Month Without IPv4” security engineer Alex Haydock writes about the challenges of IPv6-only networks and explains techniques like DNS64, NAT64 and CLAT. An interesting read for someone like me, who doesn’t know much more about IPv6 than that support is still lacking in many places (like GitHub). ⌘ Read more

[ANN] RandomX 5 Year Anniversary
Yes, it’s been 5 years on the same PoW. And the date came and went without much fanfare. For those perhaps trickling into monero because of the pRiCe, you may not be aware of how much of a milestone this is in the context of an industry that is ruthless when it comes to exploiting weak PoW algorithms for profit.
