I don't do gov work anymore if I can afford to. I'm imagining the eco-terrorist meeting where they're introducing their new member and someone says, "don't worry, he's cool, he's from DARPA."
I'll reiterate that their product isn't going to work in any space if they don't learn how to write a security protocol and include it as the extraodinary evidence required for something like a secure anonymous communications. the way they can show good faith is by providing something objective. I even look forward to walking this comment thread back when they do.
I'm simply stating a fact about DARPA and how their mission and operations fit within the US government.
Look, if you want to characterize DARPA research as IC work, go ahead. You clearly don't work in the space.
