Extremely with @steveklabnik.com here.

Itโ€™s been months and months of seeing people I respect say easily demonstrably false things.

People who are reasonable except on this one topic.

You should be able to use the "new" binary to generate a new challenge file: github.com/ebfull/power...

It's been a while since we used this code so I can't guarantee things will work well.

people who feel itโ€™s โ€œinexcusableโ€ for a dev team to not have implemented whatever feature are welcome to start their own instance and write their own clients and figure out all of the missing protocol level details for federation and figure out the emergent economic incentives of the protocol and
