+Preparation steps
+=================
+I used Sean’s powersoftau rust repo, commit
+9e1553c437183540392a7231d0788318a19b18a3
+
+I followed instructions online for building portable rust binaries,
+and so I ran
+```
+cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --release --features=u128-support --bin=compute
+```
+
+Compiler: rustc 1.23.0-nightly (02004ef78 2017-11-08)
+
+I copied the resulting binary to a freshly formatted USB stick I had.
+
+b2sum:
+9059a0a64f5021c36df630ca48ac40674862b2fea14f4843ff2150256b95162ac4d6d1621d2dd3f5d0d1c604ad8e581c0ff449d2449140380eab075a9b83c960
+./target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/compute
+
+I also rummaged through my shelf of several USB sticks, and found one
+that happened to be a Linux Mint 18 USB bootable disk, so I used that
+for my operating system.
+
+Sidechannel defenses
+====================
+I used an airgap compute node, a Dell Inspiron that I’ve had for about
+a year now (Actually this is a computer I bought last year for
+dress-rehearsals in the Zcash Sprout param generation ceremony).
+
+I unplugged all the computer’s hard drives, and detached its
+wifi/bluetooth radios. I booted the computer from the Linux Mint
+livecd usb stick, and then also copied the binaries into RAM. The
+compute node was located in my bedroom, and I attended it for the ~1hr
+duration of the compute process.

+
+Postprocessing
+==============
+After compute was finished, I took a cell phone picture of the blake2b
+hash of the response. I then copied the response file to the USB stick
+containing the binaries, and then I unplugged the compute node. Using
+my personal laptop, I posted the blake2b hash to the #mpc chat and
+uploaded the response file to s3. 
+
+The repsonse file is hosted here for now, though I expect we'll
+mirror it elsewhere later:
+https://s3.amazonaws.com/socrates1024_a/response-2017-11-10-amiller
+
+I did not destroy the compute node and do plan to use it again,
+although I'm going to leave it unplugged for several days.
