This reminds me though that we've wanted to overhaul the BWAuths for a long, long time.

I won't be there but Mr. Sebastian will be prompting folks to give more thought to project ideas. Cheers! -Damian

Ricochet is audited! What next?
by Roger Dingledine 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Hi Special, Tom brought the new pdf to my attention: https://ricochet.im/files/ricochet-ncc-audit-2016-01.pdf First, congrats! Second, I think Tom has a journalist or two that wants to talk to you. I'll let him contact you about that. Third, should we think about things we can do on our side? Like, I could tweet an encouraging thing about how great it is that Tor community projects are getting traction and taking security seriously. We could even imagine something more thorough, like we did for https://blog.torproject.org/blog/isec-partners-conducts-tor-browser-hardeni… with explanations of the future roadmap, mentions that we added Ricochet to the Tor projects list, etc. Let us know how we can best help. --Roger

Novelist and ex-CIA spy Barry Eisler gave Tor a shout-out in an interview about hacking, surveillance, etc as a promo for his new book. Pretty great =) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ACOITJM/ref=pd_va_rv_2 ~Griffin -- “We have to create; it is the only thing louder than destruction.” ~ Andrea Gibson
