For those wondering Tornado here appears to refer to Tornado Cash [1]. [1]: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/8/8/us-announces-sanctions-against-currency-mix

  Oof. The confusing title could do with some editing then (capitalize 'Tornado' for one).

    I thought they were contributing to the Python web framework called Tornado (quite popular especially before asyncio caught on, but still well-known nowadays).

      I was like "what's a tornado repo? a reference I don't know about to a whirlwind of activity? maybe a bot attack of some kind." +1 disambiguation needed

        Some of my repos look like they were hit by a tornado and frankly deserve to be deleted

          When your code is so bad that the US Government sanctions you, specifically

        i thought it was like a tornado warnings repo

      Just reading the comments, I also was thinking this was about Python's tornado library until I recognized it wasn't that. The title needs improvement. CC @dang

        I emailed a title suggestion switching to "... Tornado Cash ..." for clarification. I wish typing "cc @dang" did something, but to the best of my knowledge it does not / isn't monitored vs email.

      Same. Confusing title.

  tornado repos sounds like some kind of evil financial product

  @dang could be worth a s/tornado/Tornado Cash/ in the title
• fuzzythinker 4y ago
  Ya, really need to change the title. Tornado is known to many as the python web server.
  • Genbox 4y ago
    Yeah... and you know... a natural weather phenomenon. I thought this was about storm chasers or something.
• dang 4y ago
  We've put that in the title now.
