Re: Who the hell is "nullius" the guy is too smart around here :)
By happenstance, the [cool] dude also came on radar where I, too, noticed his Merit count, hence asking him privately if he's gmaxwell. He timely replied in kind and ask me if I would [kindly] ask the question in this thread. I told him to go kindly fuck himself. 
This is not the first time Ive had such a query; and last time was from someone with a five-digit uid. Thus I wished the opportunity to address the matter clearly in public, without coming off as if I were the one suggesting the connection.
Im not gmaxwell. Though in terms of technical virtù and Bitcoin prowess, being asked if I am is some of the highest praise Ive received here. Indeed, it is a bit overwhelming; for due to my background, Ive had to admit to him my inadequacy in maths and comp.sci:
Sipa also has AVX2 8-way sha2 and ripemd160 that he might post somewhere if you asked. An 8-way bech32 checksum generator should be really easy to do,
Will ask. Actually, I think I may have this mentioned somewhere in GH discussions; I didnt pay attention, because I dont yet own any machines with AVX2. Not quite as rich as people think I am.
Also, for the record: nullius is a nym I picked quite some years ago, and became far too attached to. I had the nym reserved for some special future project long before I heard of /u/nullcso yes, some years ago.
PS: Don't click on any links he provides, for they're ALL diatribe traps. 
Thanks.
Ive been preparing a special diatribe for this thread. You didnt think Id not reply here, did you? But those take some time to write. Ill be back.
Yea this is all what you know, instead of contributing something useful, making threat to others, like this forum is yours
