I agree with this, you can't help but feel it is delayed to pertinent news, hopefully crossing the T's and dotting the i's. if it was bog standard update it would be released at 7 am.
Good appointment IMO. I’ve been looking and investing in crypto recently and in my DD it occurred to me that Syme really needs a developer on board for the blockchain stuff. I’ve even learnt that blockchain is already outdated and that tagchain is the future.
