This week I've been building the hidden services protocol, about half way done, sending an introducer request, propagating the introducer in the network, and currently getting a little stuck as something is mangling the reply routing header for the client introduction query. I expect I'll solve it by tomorrow sometime then up to the introduction request where the introducer will forward the query with a public key used to cloak the introduction on its path back to the client... ah yeah, and then the two sided forward and backwards message cycle. So maybe it will be complete by monday or tuesday next week.

With hidden service message processing complete I'm gonna need to move on to plugging in the network devices.

My colleague has completed the relay encrypted store unlock system, not sure where he's going next, but for sure in a week or two we start on the virtual network stuff with docker images.
