Six months on Rustock!
I set myself one rule for Rustock: never, ever look at the source code. Steer the agent on algorithms, treat the code like assembly.
22 days, ~400 commits. Snap sync, a freezer, block pruning, a trie GC, merged mining.

Protecting from tampering in the supply chain was essential.
I hope all hardware wallet manufacturers start offering transparent devices.
