QRL OTS Key Indexes
-
Bonjour à tous,
J’ai reçu ma ledger key. Je voudrais transferer mes qrl et je voudrais être sur de ne pas faire l’erreur car lorsque que je vois :
NOTE With your last key you must empty your wallet. If you use all of your OTS Key Indexes with funds in the wallet, these funds will be lost FOREVER (Don’t worry, there are plenty of warnings along the way.)Je n’ai pas envi de faire une mauvaise manip avec ces OTS key indexes…

Si quelqu’un peut m’éclairer sur ce point
Merci

Je post cet email, ça peut toujours servir :First, some comforting words. Nobody has lost their QRL yet due to OTS key misuse.
The OTS key will automatically increment. Most people don’t touch that field, but I’ll try to explain what it’s about:
One time signature keys are a feature of the quantum resistant security we use (XMSS). XMSS contains many keys, and some would say it’s a tree of keys. Every time you send a transaction and use a key, the network keeps track of it. When you open the wallet, the wallet connects to the network and you’ll get a new unused key (OTS key). The concern happens when the node the wallet is connecting to isn’t up to date with the block you sent your last transaction AND if the node is malicious.
For people sending one transaction per day (visa average ~0.8/day), this means a node would need to be a full day out of date, and the node would have to be malicious for your OTS key reuse to weaken your wallet. If the node is a full day out of date, but is not malicious, what would happen is your transaction would be rejected on OTS key reuse and no funds would be lost. A good way to check to see if things are up to date is to see if the last transaction you sent is visible when you open your wallet.
Because of the possibility of things not being in sync, however, it’s still recommended to keep track of your key usage on a piece of paper in case the network is out of date.
Hope that helps, and feel free to ask any followup questions,

Thanks very muchJe viens de lire leur réponse, c’est le côté "quantum resistant " qui rend les choses compliquées !?
As tu réussi ?
La 1er chose est d’être sur que ton wallet soit bien synchronisé, la clef OTF "doit normalement " être bonne. ( Si j’ai bien compris
)
Perso, je testerai déjà avec 1 petit montant.
A+Au cas où ( je pense que tu y es déjà passé )
