A couple of features we are considering for the mercury statechain
wallet/service and would be good to get comments/feedback on.
1.
In the current setup (https://github.com/commerceblock/mercury), deposits
are free and permissionless (i.e. no authentication required to generate a
shared key deposi
The submitpackage RPC is available on regtest in the current core release.
Is there any plan or timeline for deploying this on mainnet in the next
release? Can't find any recent discussion. It would be very helpful given
current (and likely future) issues with mempool purge.

We are implementing a version of 2-of-2 Schnorr Musig2 for statechains
where the server (party 1 in the 2-of-2) will be fully 'blinded' - in that
it can hold a private key that is required to generate an aggregate
signature on an aggregate public key, but that it does not learn either: 1)
The aggre
Hi Jonas,
Seems you are right: for every tx, compute c from the on-chain data, and
the server can match the c to the m (tx). So there would need to be a
method for blinding the value of c.

Thanks for the replies. As I understand it, the v=2 nonces signing protocol
of musig2 prevents the Wagner attack. Also, that the challenge value c must
be blinded from the server to prevent the server from being able to
determine the signature from the on-chain state.
In addition, in order to upda
@moonsettler
Your scheme for blinding the challenge (e in your notation) works as far as
I can tell. It is better than the way I suggested as it doesn't require
modifying the aggregated pubkey (and the blinding nonce can be different
for each signature).
@AdamISZ and @Jonas
It is not necessarily
Not 'signing' but 'secret' i.e. the r values (ephemeral keys). Proof of
knowledge of the r values used to generate each R used prevents the Wagner
attack, no?

OK, thanks, I get the logic now. I believe this attack can be mitigated (at
least in the case of using this scheme for statechains) by the receiver of
a coin verifying the construction of all previous challenges.
So in this case, the sender of a coin would record R2[K-1] in addition to m

A follow up to this, I have updated the blinded statechain protocol

An update on progress on the development of the blinded two-party Schnorr
scheme for statechains.
As stated previously, we believe that one-more-signature and Wagner attacks
are mitigated by the client committing the values of the blinding nonce
used (labeled f) and the value of R2 used in a signi

We are designing an off-chain coin-swap protocol that will work with the
statechain implementation we are developing (
https://github.com/commerceblock/mercury). The general idea is that coins
deposited with a statechain entity (statecoins) can be transacted
peer-to-peer off-chain in a way that the

Sorry, most of the protocol details are in the links, but terminology
should be made clearer. A "statecoin" is a UTXO that is a 2-of-2 between

There are also legal and regulatory implications. It is much easier for a
service to operate without requiring its users to be KYCed if it is
non-custodial and funds cannot be frozen/seized.
