- @unclelem
Merged his auto-updater and Node Checker into Nymi, a Telegram bot that alerts operators on releases, delegations, score drops and downtime. - @wunderbaer
Took Tokumai, a native mixnet app for macOS, Linux and Windows, into closed beta and funded the testers’ credits himself. Also the operator voice that reshaped the NIP-14 process. - @moejoe
Helped debug the NymVPN app diligently. Also the month’s busiest helper across all kinds of threads. - @Victor
Rebuilt Yamnweb around a native Rust Nym SDK sender, brought entry gateway 3392 online with a public status API, and wrote up three silent failure modes in the socks5 client. - @Ch1ffr3punk
Released NymQR v0.1.0 and MicroCrypt, encryption simple enough to hand to family. - @bhsysmx
Brought up 16 nodes in Ukraine on an ISP almost nobody else uses, plus the only node in Croatia, both with a documented no-logs setup and an open ask for others to stake rare locations.
