05:24:57 FYI I will explicitly and publicly opt-out of being a judge, as I already have, yet with the additional comment I may enter (publicly or anonymously) as a contestant in the above proposed contest. 05:25:11 Apparently some people started suggesting the prize pool to be over 100k 05:25:39 I'll work for 1.2m USD a year 05:26:06 (at least, I'll work for a month at such a rate, if time allows and the topic is sufficiently interesting) 05:30:07 Onion nodes? 05:32:27 I'll also note I won't merge unsafe code/code known to be vartime/have a variable memory access pattern/etc into my libs, and if the contest does allow C code for some bump of performance, some other org will have to take over maintenance of the FCMP++ libraries if they want to realize that performance. I believe I'm allowed to decline to maintain/offer such code and I don't want such code to win the contest, only to cause drama when I don't accept it into my tree. I'll be clear now my tree is my tree, and if my opinions sufficiently diverge from the Monero community (as they may here re: unsafe code), it is the Monero community's responsibility to define and maintain their own tree. Hopefully this statement avoids any potential drama over source tree mana gement and merge policy. 05:33:54 Monero doesn't follow my tree FWIW, Monero follows a specific git commit which is currently a git commit in my tree. Same as RandomX. If Monero ever wanted a RandomX change while tevador isn't around/willing, we'd need a monero-project/randomx and to update where the git submodule points. 05:36:47 ... adds a dependency. if you look for mesh routing: reticulum 05:39:04 ... adds a dependency. if you look for mesh routing, reticulum : 05:39:06 https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-reticulum-unstoppable-networks-for-the-people#t=3
