How were Monero elliptic curve constants chosen?
In the cryptonote paper review, there was a mention about not knowing how the constants were calculated, is there anyway to verify these constants are 'safe' or change them to something 'better'? please enlighten me :DD

Are there any disadvantages to using a mining pool with I2P?
Recently, MoneroWorld added a mining port for I2P. Are there any disadvantages to mining with I2P instead of connecting to the pool directly? Eg: will it be sgnificantly harder to submit shares? Is the connection less reliable?

What is the deterministic hash to EC function used to construct the key image?
Ring signatures alone would allow double spending, so Monero (as a result of following the CrpytoNote whitepaper) has to use a 'key image', which is the same across identical transactions and hence causes attempts at double spending to be…

Is the XMR network vulnerable to Denial-of-Service attacks?
Is it possible to make a Dos-Attack on the Monero network, by creating multiple transactions with small amounts and flooding the network?
How many Moneros would be required to do so?

How far will Monero scale up (gradually or instantaneous)?
Say the economy of Iceland decides to use Monero as their official currency overnight. It would fail, right? I am pretty sure that the network could not handle a million daily transactions (how many does it handle now?).
What would the mechanism of…

If I wanted to run a Monero node would I be able to limit the number of inbound connections?

edit: by connections, I am referring to the number of peers connected at one time

Is it possible to solo-mine on a non-public node?
I am wondering whether it is possible to solo-mine, with a non-public node. I have no port-forwarding configured at this stage, so when I display the monerod status, it doesn't show any outgoing connections obviously:

What happens as monero network hash rate decreases
I've noticed the network hashrate has decreased, does that mean anything for overall monero future.
What happens if the network hashrate gets too low? What level is dangerously low?
Just wondering, I am a bit of a newb so just wondering. Thank you
