Still no change to the curve but at least no splitting and countermeasures against whale's upvoting their shitpost, that put the tool in our hands. This is a step in the right direction. I just finished my compleat witness docker management system, just caught the last bug and now it only needs documentation - and my primary node was out of date anyway (and I'm upgrading it from ubuntu to arch as well), so a rebuild was going to happen anyway. Now it can be to 18! woo!
If only I could now bloody get to sleep and stop playing with my computer.
