10:15:33 <m-relay> <a​ntilt:we2.ee> I agree with what has been said by sech1 and Rucknium (dynamic, self-repair): a static snapshot of a complex, time-variant system (especially its resiliency to external shock) is a necessary first step, but has little predictive power. The researchers seem to be intuitively aware of this. 
10:15:34 <m-relay> <a​ntilt:we2.ee> Complex networks strike a balance: efficiency (centralization, tx/sec., peacetime) vs. resiliency (decentralization, slower, wartime). They tend to adopt to environmental stress by gravitating towards resiliency - we have seen this happen with Monero (stressnet, peer selection research, fcmp++, etc.)
16:31:40 <m-relay> <j​berman:monero.social> Would be good for the monero twitter account to announce the FCMP++ optimization contest is now open for submissions (assuming whoever is behind the account is following this channel)
17:50:14 <midipoet> they are excited to announce...
19:52:22 <m-relay> <a​illia:matrix.org> pinged them on twitter/X (https://x.com/AilliaLink/status/1917304841535184936)
