Justin Berman publishes his third CCS progress report

Justin Berman¹ shared his third progress report² for his CCS proposal³ with the community:

Weeks 5-6 [Sep 27 - Oct 10] Hours worked: 91.2 hours Total hours worked: 280.9

I focused mainly on decoy selection algorithm work these past 2 weeks (lots of focus on binning + updated openmonero).

Technical details related to his work during the past two weeks are listed in his report:

• worked on a PoC for “binning” in the decoy selection algorithm
• implemented the gamma-based decoy selection algorithm in openmonero
• created a new PR to decrease the recent spend window in the decoy selection algo
• made a bit more progress on monero-lws informal audit, but not much
• chatted with vtnerd on a strategy to support subaddresses in monero-lws

Justin plans to continue working on the issues listed in his initial progress report⁴ for the next 2 weeks:

I’m optimistic I’ll be able to make significant headway into (and finish) most stuff from the CCS proposal by the end of the 3-month period, except for a majority of the one-off tasks (but also hoping to get subaddress support in monero-lws done).

• Binning
• Complete informal audit of monero-lws
• Continue working on thread safety in the daemon RPC
• Subaddress support in monero-lws
