Since people are kindly providing introductions, here's my attempt:

1. burnt out code monkey

2. complains a lot about software, and in particular bitcoin & bitcoin privacy

3. i still cringe if you call me a "bitcoiner", and promise not to bring it up in polite conversation about other subjects

4. please ask and teach me things, anything! nerd sniping me is easy and at least for me also very rewarding =)

will today be the day i finally power through fedifinder/debridify?
ot1h, very happy to see so much activity here, i hope it lasts... otoh i guess this means i have to use this for more than my bi-monthly esoteric posts? feeling the pressure!

i'm slowly gathering materials from my work over the last few years into one consolidated repository

if you're interested in Bitcoin privacy, please review, this is a series of more or less finished commits that lay out the overall structure, but does not yet include the detailed simulation work or models/definition, which i'm currently refactoring

This coming Monday at 18:00 UTC the Wasabi Research Club will be a discussion about how CoinJoin privacy can be analyzed in terms the sub-transaction model introduced in the Knapsack mixing paper.

We will be slowly going through the linked notes (still being edited), and see how far we can get in the first of a series of discussions.

Please join if you want to understand & critique the thought process behind the CoinJoins approach being implemented in Wasabi 2.0.
