@HLipmaa And had to “reject papers that had a fairly positive evaluation and were considered *acceptable*, but were considered less strong than other submissions in the competition” [emphasis added]

This way of “competition” is a big discouragement to many young researchers…

@HLipmaa @IACRcrypto Still in the US…

Who would have thought that there is actually an online media platform dedicated to professional networking? Well not me, until recently 😄 I was really using the wrong platform apparently…

Anyone has an idea for these very high volume noises in #Auckland city? are there fireworks?

@sergey_nog @Algorand Oh I didn’t know our X-VRF paper was cited by @Algorand :)

In my view, there is a better alternative now though: iVRF

I have been bothered by a lot of random things I am seeing on this platform. Seeing many people making the move to the “blue space”, I now mostly migrated there too.
It’s great there to be seeing what I want to see without a lot of noise. See you on the other side!
