was holding off testing tunnel fix on stats until the update downloads were done, but I glanced and it had gone yellow anyway, so now testing the fix
zzz
this fix may really reduce IRC disconnects and netsplits, we'll see
dr|z3d
got an MR up yet?
zzz
early next week
dr|z3d
aight

the Forbes puff piece on Zooko is wild, with Monero catching a stray
zzz
link on fluffypony's twitter
dr|z3d
who ate all the cookies? "fluffypony!"
zzz
so ZF and ECC each have $9 million which should last them a year or so, what's Zooko going to do with $1 million from the outside?
dr|z3d
send a mail to str4d, maybe he knows? :)
zzz
doubt it unless he quits to go work for zooko
zzz
which would be dumb, he should stay where the money is for now
dr|z3d
I thought he was working for zooko/z-cash, or he moved on?
zzz
no, it's zooko that quit
dr|z3d
oh
dr|z3d
not abreast of these things.
zzz
the article will catch you up
dr|z3d
can we haz link, not some twitter reference plz?
dr|z3d
or you could post the actual forbes link to the Crypto forum on ramble.. :)
zzz
sorry only have twitter on my phone, and if I try to find it on forbes website I'll hit the paywall
zzz
met zooko once at defcon. he gave me a tshirt, I was starstruck to meet the inventer of the triangle
zzz
I bugged him to take a tahoe-lafs bugfix I'd submitted months before
zzz
he refused, saying his policy was that all bugfix patches must include a new unit test to catch the bug that was fixed
zzz
I said nope won't happen, and afaik the bug was never fixed
dr|z3d
oh well, you tried. :|
zzz
seemed like a wild policy to me at the time
dr|z3d
that's a pretty retrograde approach to accepting fixes, sure.

by all measures monero is doing 10x better than zcash so it's wild to lump them together as losers
