NoShore: Groundwork for on-the-go offline payments
For years, I've been unable to let go of the vision of creating the simplest payment-interface possible.
I couldn't find the required specialists to outsource some challenging parts of my initial design.
Now, thanks to a discussion with the developer of XmrSigner - plus the interest of someone specialized in FPGA's, I realized that I could create a major part of the functionality and, from there, follow a clear path forward.
Please feel free to review the linked CCS-draft - any workable feedback is welcome!

Shifting critical payment logic to FPGA accelerators is a bold move for low-latency offline transactions, but it raises significant concerns about supply chain security and the reproducibility of the hardware trust base. Before finalizing the design, how are you addressing the risk of compromised FPGA bitstreams or the potential for hardware trojans in an offline environment where network-based integrity checks are unavailable?
That is very interesting. And I like how close it seems to be usable. hope the CCS succeeds
thank you
