  1. We've updated our tor relay build script for #RISCV, building #openssl and #tor from source:

    code.disobey.net/EmeraldOnion/

    Notably, to get rid of this tor initialization warning:
    > We were built to run on a 64-bit CPU, with OpenSSL 1.0.1 or later, but with a version of OpenSSL that apparently lacks accelerated support for the NIST P-224 and P-256 groups. Building openssl with such support (using the enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128 option when configuring it) would make ECDH much faster.

    With an added openssl configure target and option:
    > linux64-riscv64 enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128

    Our #SiFive #HiFive RISC-V 256-bits ECDH performance is synthetically boosted:

    From:
    > 256 bits ecdh (nistp256) 0.0029s 340.7

    To:
    > 256 bits ecdh (nistp256) 0.0005s 2057.1

    This is a 6x P-256 handshakes boost, so this should help speed up this Tor exit relay. We are only running one Tor daemon on this hardware to see how well it does.

  2. #SiFive #HiFive Premier #P550 #RISCV Price Lowered to $399, ready to go with #Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Support
