- Ordering Measurements: Performed experiments [5](https://www.notion.so/Nomos-Mix-Queueing-Mechanism-Experimentation-Methodology-d629af5a2d43473c9ec9ba191f6d904d?pvs=4#8a4d4d63657b4ed3832e68301170c1c4) and [6](https://www.notion.so/Nomos-Mix-Queueing-Mechanism-Experimentation-Methodology-d629af5a2d43473c9ec9ba191f6d904d?pvs=4#8a4d4d63657b4ed3832e68301170c1c4) of the ordering measurements (which are the heaviest). Experiment 6 took more time than expected due to randomness in some queue types. We had to lower one parameter (the number of messages generated) to finish the experiment in a reasonable time. Additionally, we implemented an optimization to reduce gossip traffic. As a result, both experiments 5 and 6 were completed by Thursday (2024-09-05).
|
||||
- Ordering Measurements: Since 2024-09-06, we have been analyzing the results of the latest experiments, focusing on the average number of data messages in queues, the average latency for messages (from sender to receiver), the ordering coefficients (to compare the mix effects), and the calculated outputs: [exp5](https://www.notion.so/Nomos-Mix-Experiments-Tracking-ad7e2b8f632c4b60a20a2ff65fd03cc9?pvs=4#1442de7b28f54ab58281392d2a98bf17) and [exp6](https://www.notion.so/Nomos-Mix-Experiments-Tracking-ad7e2b8f632c4b60a20a2ff65fd03cc9?pvs=4#c54160a3d6b14a058f49089c791c5cd9). These are not yet nicely visualized reports but can be analyzed in detail by the Mixnet Workgroup. The ordering coefficient for experiment 5 is still being calculated.
|
||||
- We identified information leakage in the noisy lottery design, which we started addressing by generalizing the lottery to the l-hop case. Instead of a single hop, we added more hops to better mimic data traffic. This reduced the leakage, but it requires [modifications to the payment mechanism](https://www.notion.so/Nomos-Mix-Peer-to-Peer-Mix-Network-over-Gossip-Channel-11e9c70a656d4ff1858bc46a715f4c59?pvs=4#80e8f3495ad14199b9f3d5378c73b960) for noise generation, which is in progress.
|
||||
- The discovery of this issue came while working on the payment mechanism for mixing, which is advancing but requires modifications to align with the noisy lottery. This is not fully documented but can be found [here](https://www.notion.so/Nomos-Mix-Peer-to-Peer-Mix-Network-over-Gossip-Channel-11e9c70a656d4ff1858bc46a715f4c59?pvs=4#dee3a11560834b689f41447c678ad2e6).

- Analysis of latency in the Nomos mix network: We analyzed the latency of a broadcast in the finite connectivity regime of communication networks. In this regime, a node is connected to a finite number of other nodes in the network. We assumed a network of size NNN has a topology of a random regular graph with connectivity ccc. Message delay is governed by a Geometric distribution with parameter qqq, i.e., a message is removed from the out-queue with probability qqq, and a constant delay in communication links. For this model, the latency of broadcast (divided by log(N)\log(N)log(N)) converges to some (non-random) value, depending on qqq and ccc, as NNN grows. Furthermore, for small qqq, the latency of broadcast is consistent with 2log(N)(c−1)qc(c−2)\frac{2 \log(N)(c-1)}{q c(c-2)}qc(c−2)2log(N)(c−1) but deviates for larger qqq. From this, it follows that latency grows as log(N)\log(N)log(N) with NNN in the finite connectivity regime. This work is summarized [here](https://www.notion.so/Analysis-of-the-Nomos-Mixnet-Anonymous-Communication-AC-System-c97d73a7b8894cf7830e8345f0cc37a4?pvs=4#bdf5ca02115f44d9bd3f8da8cdebf26c).

- [PR #114](https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-specs/pull/114) (nomos-specs) - added the first PR for the PoL Python spec.
|
||||
- The existing PoE design was reviewed, and [pseudocode](https://www.notion.so/PoE-8d2721d787684c8bbf5b223b724478bb) was prepared.
|
||||
- [First attempt branch](https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/tree/PoE) for PoE spec (working but not acceptable in terms of cycles).
|
||||
- [Extended the PoV specs](https://www.notion.so/Proof-of-Validator-Specification-5cd02f594d4d4a66be5e9f1ebf95d7d8?pvs=4#d07d5f29743b444395cba40f30239820), which need some discussion and review.
|
||||
- Started studying the selfish mining problem in PoW and PoS - [notes](https://www.notion.so/Selfish-Mining-in-PoS-622b9b384f4e4e67be88338c0fa9c714).
|
||||
- Added a few more [paragraphs](https://www.notion.so/Does-Crypsinous-Leader-Election-Function-lead-to-wealth-concentration-in-PoS-b81f07a791b745438443f51f00ac258f#22fa3481f8ff452db8bce847b74e33b9) in the Selfish Behavior section.

### `Development`
|
||||
|
||||

We have an issue mostly around long CI times, and we might cut some corners at some point to unblock things until we get more powerful runners.
