Description

Distribution
gollark: You mean SPUDNET? I think I may have broken that URL in the osmarks.net migration. Use spudnet.osmarks.net.
gollark: With features like "not signing everything with one root key" and such.
gollark: I'd probably also implement some sort of better key distribution system on top of the newer ECC library.
gollark: * the old one
gollark: Anyway, if there was some way to keep existing disks and stuff working but drop the giant ECC verification code from potatOS that would be good.
