Merkle Mathematical Proofs
---------------------------
The Merkle tree proof that we are utilizing is the integration of the
ring signature verification, multipath layer security and the
utilization of polynomial time. The sequential rings and patterns
integrated on the blockchain allow for more efficient hashing and
regression for further nodes in the transactional roots. Because of the
mathematical proof we have, people can create their own custom mining
algorithms to go along with what will be readily available in the
market. Later, depending on community support, we may also create open
source tools and developer SDKs centered around algorithmic capabilities
and PoC mining for end users.

The Ring Signature Protocol
---------------------------
We utilize cryptonote's ring signature protocol for verification of
transactional PoW. Traditional methods utilize a public and private key
integration for verifying the original signature of a transaction.
However, ring signatures add an extra layer of complexity and security.
They utilize several public and private keys for the shared
transactional hash to verify the block. This means instead of just one
public to private key verification, you are further increasing security
by adding more signatures to your transactions. Utilizing this group
verification method is known as "Ring Signatures" and is similar to the
original signature method but integrates multiple signatures for
verification. Since you are using multiple signatures, the original
transaction root still knows the original public and private signers
once the verification for a transaction hash is verified.

In terms of using large scale systems, ring signatures allows for the
transactions to be eventually untraceable and a more secure form of
exchange. However, methods can still be implemented to prevent abuse of
the system. Having, a ring signature type protocol allows for a more
open market, and when utilized correctly, you can still have a network
with high speeds. Compliance is still possible with advanced forms of
exchange and allowing a technological implication of these protocols can
make actions such as cross border transactions faster, safer, and
significantly more secure.

Problem with Current Mining
----------------------------
Traditional mining systems are extremely outdated and inefficient. They
require higher capacity hardware for greater profitability, which leads
to the opportunity for market monopolies. Market monopolies can hence be
created for mining hardware, GPU systems, or even centralized towards
people who have data centers or mining farms. While, it is true that
people with greater hardware capacity may profit more using traditional
mining on Lonero's systems, there are still ways around it. Creating the
ability for "Proof of Capacity" mining solutions, (as talked about
earlier), allows for people to solve the blockchain utilizing their
mathematical capabilities and understanding. Now, not only wealth is
rewarded, but mathematical knowledge.

Applying Euclidean Geometry
-----------------------------
We have plans to integrate computer vision technologies later with
Lonero's core technological infrastructure. Part of this will be
Euclidean geometry and an A.I. that can integrate with merkle tree
proofs. This will be integrated in a series of different areas such as
the DAO creation, compression on the blockchain, and sequential pattern
recognition amongst the network. Imagine a merkle tree being
geometrically analyzed and manipulated as is a data structure.
Obviously, this will be a long stretch goal in terms of integrating with
Lonero's core development and will be laid out for the community over
time.
