Summary of Namecoin at 38C3: https://www.namecoin.org/2025/03/30/38c3-summary.html

(It took longer than desired to get the 38C3 content posted, but such is life. Hopefully the official recordings will be up soon, but in the meantime, a decent amount of content is in the live stream archives.)

Meanwhile, SocksTrace is transitioning from ptrace to seccomp userspace notifications. Explanation by Robert: https://www.namecoin.org/2025/03/30/sockstrace-seccomp-notify.html

And last but certainly not least, three new grants for TLS and anonymity research. https://www.namecoin.org/2025/03/30/namecoin-tls-anonymity-research-funding-power-up-privacy-nlnet-ngi0-core.html

Two of the grants come from a new funder, Power Up Privacy, so please welcome PUP to Namecoin's increasingly diverse sponsor list. We're also excited that one of the grants is for a new developer (Alice); please give her a warm welcome. We're also quite pleased that funded collaboration with Tor Project is continuing.
