# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (March 3, 2016)

The log contained minimal substantive discussion, but these key points were mentioned:

• kanzure shared information about a $1 million collaboration between IDT and iGEM, which appears to be related to synthetic biology or genetic engineering.

• A user shared a collection of RISC-V open-source processor implementations, including projects like YARVI, VectorBlox RISC-V, vscale, RISC-V Sodor, RISC-V BOOM, PicoRV32, and Rocket Chip.

• Heath announced an online event called "9th Global CAISPN Call" focused on open-source spaceflight and applications to commercial space.

• kanzure shared a link to a discussion about writing good decompilers, which could be relevant to reverse engineering efforts.

• A user named pasky shared slides about Bitcoin scaling issues, and kanzure provided feedback suggesting the core issue was about hard-forks rather than block size, and recommended including information about SegWit and Lightning Network.
