    No algokey from the Algorand repo https://github.com/algorand/go-algorand/tree/master/cmd/algokey or the docs https://developer.algorand.org/docs/clis/algokey/algokey/ just a lightweight cli tool that can sign txns, no node needed.

    You can use the goal binary from go-algorand to generate and sign transactions on an air-gapped machine. See this post for details, and feel free to ask questions.

    https://github.com/HashMapsData2Value/mahber/blob/master/Project_Mahber.pdf the ideas behind Monero-style ring signature mixers. With curve25519 in that case, which I hope they'll add eventually, but depending on https://github.com/algorand/go-algorand/pull/4924 the ultimate opcode costs for BLS 12-381 or (more realistically) BN254 curve it might be implementable sooner at a higher tx cost.

    Gary introduced this PR https://github.com/algorand/go-algorand/pull/5087 titled "Leverage 2 SRV record providers for resolving relay addresses w/ de-duplication". Ostensibly it seems like node runners will be able to maintain a second list of relay nodes in addition to the "official" list? Is there any more info on this endeavour? Where can we see this going?

    This PR https://github.com/algorand/go-algorand/issues/5063 mentions Non-Archival Relay Nodes support. Currently Relay Nodes are expected to be fully archival as well, but this means that anyone running one needs to have 4 TBs. Why was it important for Relay Nodes to be archival in the first place, was there a particular historical reason for that expectation?

    This PR https://github.com/algorand/go-algorand/pull/4924/files will allow, among other things, for the AVM to be able to verify Groth16 type zk-SNARKs. That's the technology Tornado Cash and others use for their mixers.
