Aren't these statements completely contradictory?
On the one hand, you say it was a SpaceX project. But later, you say that the author is correct (meaning it was a Silk Road project).
So... which is it?
- stephenhuey 10y agoA little confusing, I know, and it doesn't help that the HN title is currently different from the blog post title. I find it plausible that the author was wondering what the project was really for, because it wasn't an official SpaceX project. It wasn't even contracted by SpaceX, but rather intended to be completed and then pitched to SpaceX and hopefully sold to SpaceX. But the author wouldn't have had any interaction with SpaceX and therefore is wondering to this day whether there was a real chance that SpaceX would have ever used this code. Edit: That being said, I'm a little surprised the author thinks this code would've been used for anything related to Silk Road.
