I suspect these people do not have any working code yet for bitvm. I suspect they want to give the impression that they do in order to raise money, then run off with that money without delivering anything.
There are about 7 total people who I've seen work with bitvm's codebase. None of us have anything more than a proof of concept or a toy right now. I suspect that if these people really had something, they would have shared it with us and we would all be excitedly exploring what they've accomplished.
Announcements like this, without proof of work, are a big red flag for Scam.
They do have https://github.com/chainwayxyz/toy-bitvm-rs but like you said, this is an extremely naive/inefficient way to do things

Bingo. Sad news is people like this are competing for sats that could instead go towards genuine development. Bull runs bring the scams and the noise that follows.

oh, so not related to your team's work?

Correct. Also, I do not have a team, I work solo. Robin has a team though and this is unrelated to his team.
