Hello there believers of prop250,
you can find the latest version of the proposal in the upstream torpec repo:

I reviewed your fine document and I wondered about section 4.1.1. and specifically about the generation of RN "where RN is a 256-bit random value." I'd like to propose a change that is minimal and adds only one small change: The value REVEAL is computed as follows: REVEAL = base32-encode( TIMESTAMP || H(RN) ) where RN is a 256-bit random value and where H is the hashing algorithm "sha256". This would ensure that the raw random bytes from the PRNG are never revealed to the network which seems like a reasonable thing[0] to prevent.
