Everything about this project is weird. I started looking into it since I do IoT stuff and there was so much hype.

Then you find out about the curl issue. The unnecessary ternary. Read the white paper and all issues with tip selection was "solved" with hand waving. Then you find out it doesn't even have a client that works on a typical IoT device... Reading the email chain made it ultimately clear: these people have no idea what they're doing. They just threw a bunch of random ultra cool sounding tech together ("post-quantum crypto", of course) and started hyping, while the code never worked. Obvious scam.
