I reviewed this PR mentioned above for ZingoLabs, where we’re discussing this and other related topics having to do with leveling up our attestation, and integrity in pipelines…
While I did not dig into the makeup of StageX directly, and so I cannot testify to the core of this project’s worth, I think this kind of direction is very exciting and a great step in the right direction. I noticed @str4d engaging with the PR that went into the ECC repo mentioned above, which gives me a good amount of confidence, as well as the bona-fides listed above (how awesome is that milk sad finding?? in addition to finding a flaw in GPG)…
And even though the Zcash Foundation with Zebra are moving more cautiously, I also take that as a good sign, in terms of having a diversity of views and also questioning major overhauls of mission critical projects.
And I’ve been impressed with both the public and private interactions I’ve had so far with @antonleviathan, who is clearly passionate about their work and is keen to discuss the tech and register with cool projects in our zone.
I strongly support attracting and maintaining relationships with engineers with such special skill sets and experience… Zcash should only benefit from such strong affiliations!
I support this initiative.
