There are two distinct goals to strive for. A. We need a real, available, free implementation of DNSCurve. This is a technical goal. B. DNSCurve must be adopted by at least one influential entity, be it OpenDNS, Google, or anyone else important enough in the DNS world. This is a political goal. DJB states he's working on A, but we don't know when his implementation will be available, so unless he announces a release date very soon, we have to deal without it. * Do we have A ? If we do, once we can demonstrate the power of DNSCurve, it will be easier to lobby groups in order to get B. * Do we have B ? If we do, then the entity supporting DNSCurve may help fund the achievement of A so we get it sooner. What do we have today ? As a personal note, I would be ready to drop my current job now and start working on A full-time if I was getting paid for it. I don't think I'm the only one ; only real-life constraints are delaying us from A. -- Laurent
