Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Proof of Assets

Proof of Assets specification and Javascript implementation.

Proof of Assets (PoA) is a scheme designed to let entitites (operators) prove that they control a given amount of Bitcoin or other blockchain based cryptocurrency.

The Proof of Assets scheme can be used as part of the broader Proof of Solvency scheme.

WORK IN PROGRESS:

  • Only supports bitcoind at the moment
  • Doesn't support HD wallets yet

Install

npm install -g aproof

Usage

Generate asset proof

$ aproof signall -h "localhost" -p 8332 --user "rpcuser" --pass "rpcpass" "MtGox.com BTC assets" > btc-asset-proof.out.json

Verify signatures

$ aproof verifysignatures btc-asset-proof.out.json

Verify signatures and show total balance of all addresses

$ aproof balance -h "localhost" -p 8332 --user "rpcuser" --pass "rpcpass" btc-asset-proof.out.json

Browser build:

$ browserify ./lib/index.js --standalone aproof > build/aproof.js

Specification

WORK IN PROGRESS...

The assets proof is done by signing a message with all the private keys of a Bitcoin wallet or alternatively, with the private master key of an HD wallet and published alongside its chain code.

The message to sign is blockhash + '|' + message. Where + represents concatenation.

blockhash represents the latest block hash (with at least 6 confirmations) of the currency's blockchain.

This block hash can be used by verifiers to determine how long ago the PoA was produced. A PoA that was produced a long time ago could indicate that an operator lost the keys of its cold wallet for example.

Verifiers should issue warnings if a PoA is more than X (to be determined) days old or if the blockhash was omitted.

message is an arbitrary message (Proof of Solvency requires it to be the domain for which the proof is valid).

Known limitations

TODO... (you could convince someone else to signmessage for you?) There could be an online wallet which allows you to signmessage without revealing the private key, etc. etc. Might be interesting to explore the "make transaction"/"far future lock time" solution. Maybe combine multiple solutions together?
