Evening. I'm glad to see so many people here discussing Misfin, and especially to clsiebold for reaching out the other day.
First, a sincere apology for my disappearance. I'll spare you the details but a close relative of mine passed, and family responsibilities occupied the past few months. I had to step away from my personal projects for a time to handle things, and when I returned, I found it hard to get back into them - they felt like "before" things in a world that was feeling firmly "after".
I alluded to this in my September post, but in hindsight it was cryptic and unhelpful. I was on the fence about mentioning it in this post, even, but I figure a straight explanation is the least I can offer everyone for waiting.
Everything's alright now, and if there's interest, I'd love to nail down whatever isn't clear with the spec. I'll be refreshing here all tomorrow, and I'll see if I can pop into IRC at some point.
And, of course, you can message me at lem@misfin.org. (server's back up)

I find it pertinent to state all condolences for your loss, that you heal soon, and whether or not you get to the spec or pass on any torch, greenlight whoever's whatever, etc and so on is ENTIRELY up to you and whenever *you* feel ready for it. The world keeps goin' but this place will be here whenever you feel, it's not goin' anywhere anytime soon by what I can observe. Gemini, at least, In turn, many people seem very interested in misfin.
All that said, I'll be continuing to experiment w/ your project as it is currently intended and will be doing so via cipres' aka @gemalaya 's implement. Thanks always for your efforts, hope everything turns up for ya!

Hi, I'm sorry you had to go through this. I recently had a hellish experience. Between loosing funding for my startup, then two close relative and finally my job I completly understand your struggle. I'm still re-building my life and it sucks sometimes.
I was thinking about something regarding mail, especially the spam problem. I wonder if we should add by default a proof of work requirement similar to what the Tor browser did. It's disabled by default but can be dynamically or automatically activated thus serving as a deterant more than anything else.
Many permissionless / decentralized system have to deal with spam and it would be intersting to see this deployed natively in the protocol.
