Boog900 posts second progress report for Cuprate CCS proposal
Boog9001 has posted the second progress report2 for their latest CCS proposal3 to continue full-time development work on the Cuprate 4 project:
I also found 1900+ IP addresses running “nodes” that have different behaviour to monerod and are almost certainly proxies to other nodes. [..] From the data I have it looks like 40% of the IPs running Monero nodes are not real nodes and ~75% o … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m not a yarnd user, so it doesn’t matter a whole lot to me, but FWIW I’m not especially keen on changing how I format my twts to work around yarnd’s quirks.
I wonder if this kind of postprocessing would fit better between composing (via yarnd’s UI) and publishing. So, if a yarnd user types ¼, it could get changed to ¼ in the twtxt.txt file for everyone to see, not just people reading through yarnd. But when I type ¼, meaning first out of four, as a non-yarnd user, the meaning wouldn’t get corrupted. I can always type ¼ directly if that’s what I really intend.
(This twt might be easier to understand if you read it without any transformations :-P)
Anyway, again, I’m not a yarnd user, so do what you will, just know you might not be seeing exactly what I meant.

@prologic@twtxt.net I wrote ¼ (one slash four) by which I meant “the first out of four”. twtxt.net is showing it as ¼, a single character that IMO doesn’t have that same meaning (it means 0.25). Similarly, ¾ got replaced with ¾ in another twt. It’s not a big deal. It just looks a little wrong, especially beside the 2/4 and 4/4 in my other two twts.
