<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> whats the rush with the contest? the discussion re: starting it now instead of waiting for this last something or other about the divisors. To me, it seems unnecessary to be willing to award .... how much... 250 xmr on something that might not work? I understand that the divisors thing might be close enough, but the question remains, whats the rush?

<r​brunner7:monero.social> My understanding: If we want a realistic chance that the contest winner's code will make it into the hardfork code in time, there certainly is a bit of a rush.

it can be added afterward without another HF?

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> i don't see how 1 month can make that much difference, and yeah, the code can be added after the HF

<j​berman:monero.social> Could argue the benefit is FCMP's 1 month sooner in the highly likely happy case, which is a pretty solid practical benefit in the risk-reward calculation

<j​berman:monero.social> Also, we'd end up paying for 2 audits, one before the hf and after
