18:50:35 <hyc> OpenSSL didn't support the right ecc curves at the time, IIRC
18:51:12 <hyc> also OpenSSL API is a bit cumbersome and we weren't using it for anything else yet.
18:51:41 <hyc> later we added TLS session support so we added OpenSSL, while libsodium was already in use
20:19:36 <xFFC> hyc Thanks, so the usage of OpenSSL while I was compiling. Quick question, do we have anything that resembles reproducible build? I see we do use boost/libunwind/ssl installation from the OS
20:20:28 <xFFC> We can have them as git submodule and add them `add_subdirectory` in CMake. Not reproducible enough. But a step in right direction.
20:22:09 <plowsof11> Monero project uses gitian for that https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/contrib/gitian/README.md
21:21:22 <xFFC> plowsof11: interesting.. Didn't know about Gitian. 
21:23:27 <xFFC> Although switching to `git submodules` would fix this whole windows mingw thing `mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-zeromq mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium mingw-w64-x86_64-hidapi mingw-w64-x86_64-unbound`. I am not sure how active mingw community is even. 
21:47:38 <ofrnxmr[m]> Yes. We release reproducible builds for each release, confirmed by multiple parties via the gitian build process
21:48:29 <ofrnxmr[m]> The binaries on germonero.org should have the same hashes as your local gitian build
