Making good progress on arm64 emulation in Quilibrium's MetaVM, also swapped out my hand rolled Ferret OT implementation for a much more polished library. It proved beneficial, now I'm managing to swing around 60 million instructions per second on baseline hardware, much closer to ideal conditions.

Very cool. Curious:
- What are you using for arm64 emulation? qemu?
- also why arm64 vs other ISAs? RISC-V seems popular these days
- why do you need a VM? 
- what is Ferret OT
- Maybe I should just read the paper

- Custom – traditional emulation is based in a world where one computer is executing it, and even the rare distributed ones are built with trusted assumptions (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhkiBe_0gR8 for a cool example). In a multi-party malicious majority context, an entirely different approach has to be use
