>How did you find all of this?
I had almost forgotten about that thread but then last week, I dont remember if I saw it on twitter or here on /biz/ but someone had linked to that Emin statement where he talks about the NSF and Darpa for that committee hearing last week and from there it was like a couple google searches.

(according to the wayback machine this was posted in early 2016, thats 2 years before the Team Rocket paper and 4 years before Avalanche Mainnet and a year before chainlink.)

>"Six Cornell researchers will receive grants totaling more than $3 million as part of the NSF Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program."
>"SaTC investments include 257 new projects to researchers in 37 states, totaling $74.5 million."

>"Emin Gun Sirer, associate professor of computer science, will try to build a sound new base for “cryptocurrency” – online financial systems like Bitcoin. Current systems, Sirer says, are insecure, and the underlying structure offers no way to achieve security. He proposes to create a new foundation blending cryptography, game theory, programming languages and systems security techniques on which to build a new, secure digital currency system and a system for smart contracts. He will bring together technologists, economists, social scientists and policymakers to shape the future of digital currencies."

interestingly Ari Juels is also listed there
>"Ari Juels, a computer science professor at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech, will develop new encryption methods, focusing on encryption of passwords and other user authentication."
