It's not a showstopper at all. :) I'm just very interested in determinism because it massively reduces the need for participants to source dependencies correctly and safely. Sean On Sun, Jan 28, 2018 at 11:23 AM, Devrandom wrote: > Very happy to hear about the go

Very happy to hear about the go implementation for a couple of reasons: - this gives us another path to trusted binaries from pure source + gcc - this may work well on ARM64, which gives us another architecture - one that doesn't have a management engine (in contrast, mrustc currently only works

Great work on this. I wonder if this implementation will be a better foundation for fully-deterministic and trustworthy builds? I am disappointed that devrandom's efforts were stymied by non-determinism in the Rust compiler. :( Sean On Sat, Jan 27, 2018 at 12:30 PM, Filippo Valsorda via zapps-wg

Hello folks, https://github.com/FiloSottile/powersoftau is a fully independent implementation of Powers of Tau. It is written in Go, shares no code with the main Rust implementation, and uses the RELIC library for BLS12-381. I used it for my contribution, but for it to be truly valuable to the
