Impressive you counted how many in the dark. There is also a total of 1 person in the light. He is probably making an announcement. It's a announcement post.

They're so far down the hype hole that they've completely failed to make a business case for their product. This isn't an announcement of anything at all, as far as I can tell, especially since all their stuff 'went live' at some indeterminate point in the past.

I repeat: what are we supposed to do with this information? Does anybody know?

This is a library that allows “smart contracts that can be easily upgraded over time.” If this is applicable to you, what’s difficult to understand?

If this is NOT applicable to you, why do you care? Do you criticize other software libraries that you don’t understand, when they’re unrelated to blockchain technology?

The presentation was done at a hackaton in Buenos Aires. The people in the dark should be the firsts rows of attendants.
