Mailing List

#Discussion

  • Many have asked for the creation of a mailing list
  • Setting it up?
  • Archives?

Secp256k1 Progress

#Status_Update

  • schnorrsig has just been merged into secp256k1-zkp this week!
  • It is now time to open a PR with ECDSA Adaptor Signatures cherry-picked onto secp256k1-zkp
    • There are still TODOs left on this branch
    • Jonas said he would be willing to do this work at some point if no one else does
      • Nadav doesn't feel fully comfortable with doing this
      • #Query(Lloyd)?

Oracle Specifications

#Status_Update_Interrupt

Digit Decomposition Contract Construction and Execution

#Status_Update

  • I have opened a pull request with a document specifying in detail all/most of the parts required for clients to construct and execute digit decomposition DLCs
    • Done
      • I have successfully executed such a DLC on an 8-digit (base 10) oracle outcome space in bitcoin-s!
      • Specifies mult-signature event adaptor points using signature addition, which is compatible with fraud proofs
      • Specifies CET set compression algorithm and provides analysis yielding simple function for computing the number of CETs
      • Specifies support for arbitrary payout curves
      • Specifies precision ranges which allow rounding in order to further compress CET set and reduce computation
      • Specifies CET signature construction and validation
    • TODO
      • Add support for signed (+-) numeric outcomes
        • I am currently leaning towards running the unsigned algorithm on positive and negative numbers separately so as to keep things simple at very little cost, any objections?
        • #Goal(Approve this approach or decide on alternative)
      • Integration with other spec files
      • Pretty diagrams
      • Explicitly recommend base 2 signing for oracles
      • Scala code -> Python
      • Separate CET compression spec from payout curve spec (multiple files)
      • Test Vectors (in future PR)
    • #Discussion

Non-Interactive Protocol

#Status_Update

  • The initial specification for on-chain handling has been merged!
  • Summary
    • We rely on CPFP with BIP 125 (RBF) on the child transaction for dynamic fee handling
    • Users may set their own attempt frequencies up to a security_point after which they must aggressively attempt to successfully RBF
    • We currently discourage all double-spends of funding inputs and consider this malicious behavior
      • If a counter party does this we suggest they be black-listed
      • #Discussion
  • Still need doc with recommendations for key management
  • Any other oracle things worth discussion/mention?
    • #Query(all)

Specification Writing

#Status_Update_Interrupt

P2P Network Considerations

#Query(Lloyd, all)

  • Last meeting we discussed using TOR or BIP 324 for solving problems like port forwarding
    • Lloyd was potentially interested in pursuing BIP 324
    • Any updates or new thoughts on this subject?

Lightning DLCs

#Status_Update

  • Roman has made progress support more general outputs on commitment transactions in Eclair
  • Lloyd progress update on witness-asymmetric channels
    • #Query(Lloyd)
  • Antoine progress update on general outputs in rust-lightning
    • #Query(Antoine)
  • Anyone else have anything to report?
    • #Query(all)
