the challenge to hack octra is back prepare your slop machines

octra is a native FHE network and a general purpose encrypted cloud for all world data its validators execute and finalize encrypted state transitions directly inside the network’s consensus and epoch commitment pipeline

additional consensus changes to the lite node code prior to final availability github.com/octra-labs/lit…

@octra gn octra

@octrabunch why aren’t you sleeping

hi

custom ML inference is already available in devnet, @AppliedLang is suitable for these tasks

@zelinarxy octra

is there an easy place to catch up on the octra stuff?

@octra octra

← what you see: a circle what i see: an ephemeral instance with its own code, persistent state, keys, access control, encrypted state and no permanent host a circle is not a vm running on someone’s computer, a circle is *the* computer with a distributed fheOS installed

The challenge is now easier, but also fairer according even to initial critics. The requested LPN samples are public and the rules are clear. The target is there, happy breaking!

challenge 2 update now there are lpn samples from sk.bin here (something that would never happen irl unless someone leaked them publicly) you can use these materials in cryptanalysis github.com/octra-labs/hfh…

the largest dev net update is currently underway, support for direct GPU computing for resource-sharing circles has been added to nodes as part of the development of on-chain state inference mechanics we plan to complete this tomorrow afternoon (this will deserve a separate article) thanks everyone

A new challenge will be available today throughout the day. One request: don't make a big deal out of it, there will be many more. There will even be a separate portal with a set of bounty tasks. We are also awaiting the final update for the lite node, circles, and webcli. The last 10 days have been intense due to the extensive work on security and audits, all of which was diluted by the noise of some strange individuals. We are not offended or upset by them, as a social bounty is still a bounty, even if it consists of a stream of madness. In turn, we welcome everyone who comes for the common good, science, cryptography, and security in general. Any valid points and comments are always considered, this practice will always be present here. All the best to everyone, stay tuned for the next update regarding the new bounty.

the bounty funds have been returned to the association's address, we made a mistake in setting up the bounty challenge and will relaunch it a close friend of ours quickly noticed it and signaled us about it the bounty will be relaunched a bit later with a new setup octrascan.io/tx.html?hash=3…

We have received over 500 "reports" that the scheme is not secure, most of them automated. It is now time to prove your worth! This is a very clean package that leaves no excuses. Until funds are moved, every generic "HFHE break" is hereby considered a larp, and will be ignored.

challenge: hack octra for 1 million OCT no slop is allowed

remember octra?
