Re: [9front] MP4/VP9, SSH & TLS Bounty Numbers and Progress

Copy,

I should have said I would cover the increase/bounty - but I figured that 
was implied, but then again, written lanuguage isn't always as expressive 
we'd like it to be.

Thanks for clarification on the TLS/Deadbeats issue - and the dead beats 
issue in general, this really helped me understand the situation(s).

Appreciate your response.
