development update completed so far: formalized transaction and witness schemas benchmarked proving and verification costs implemented and hardened Poseidon2 + sponge construction arithmetized Poseidon2 inside the STARK…

i built a minimal prototype "specter-min" https://github.com/ignotusnemo/specter-min there are no signatures, at all. no public keys, no elliptic curves this is an attempt to remove a fundamental primitive completely…

specter 2.0 whitepaper published this version is a structural change, not an iteration the previous design allowed pruning of proofs but did not fully replace historical validation. this version introduces epoch…

this is a very good challenge on cumulative validity, i agree with the direction. im already moving specter toward epoch-level recursive compression (will publish an updated wp version soon), and it probably makes…

been thinking a lot about randomx, asics, and specters design philosophy. specter is supposed to be hash based, simple, and post quantum. it rejects elliptic curves, trusted setups, and unnecessary complexity. but…

you are right that both schedules produce unbounded supply growth. the difference is affine vs linear, not bounded vs unbounded. that was overstated. on the cold start point the issue is not just absolute security…

the stylistic parallel is intentional. mimblewimble established a precedent for anonymous proposals where ideas stand on their own. "ignotus nemo" follows that tradition fair point. there are existing projects using…

Hey everyone, I've been working on a concept that eliminates signatures from the Bitcoin model and takes into account post-quantum limitations. Instead of digital signatures, this project called Specter uses…
