SyntheticBird45 starts work on 'Cuprate', an experimental Monero node written in Rust

SyntheticBird451 has started working on Cuprate2, an upcoming experimental, modern & secure Monero node written in Rust:

Releasing an alternative node will reinforce the Monero Network if a security vulnerability is discovered in the current node maintained by the monero-core team. [..] I encourage anyone to review the work being done, discuss about it or propose agressive optimizations [..]
