tooling:vac:lsp
- Implements the extension/status endpoint (3879966eed) It's useful for asserting in tests in a reliable way as it exposes the langserver and nimsuggest instances current status (i.e. main file, known files, etc.) It can also be useful to create a specific window in extension to quickly inspect the current status for a given project
tooling:vac:editor
- Implements Show NimLangServer Status command. (https://github.com/nim-lang/vscode-nim/pull/67) Right now is just outputing into the output window. In the near future we are going to build a separate window to inspect it.

  - Researched ways to prevent adversarial senders from abusing the mixnet to DoS single exit nodes; current issue: this could potentially lead to honest exit nodes being penalized and ignored.
- Investigated mining techniques; selected proof of work for now.
