Editorial Notes

  • march 16
    • "promiscuous"/"non-promiscuous" modes of event processing– accepting all events = prom, validating against some criterion = non-prom (for example, only accept events originating from your trasnferible identifier unless they come via local interface, i.e. accept them from no one except yourself)
