Hi Joshua,

Thanks for saying this, it takes courage to face failure.

That being said, the code base is very close to the point where it can be used to assess the success of the protocol design. So while the GSoC project is officially failed, I don't think we have to let the community down. Let's see if we can finish off the remaining bits and pieces and put together such a report soon.

Cheers! Sam.
