Dev Meeting Transcript (July 9, 2021)

[4:04 PM] brianmct: Channel open!

[4:05 PM] Tron: Hello. :wave:

[4:06 PM] kralverde: Hello

[4:11 PM] Tron: Pretty quiet in here. Summer?

[4:12 PM] kralverde: Last meeting started at 1630, so that start time may have lapsed over to this one

[4:13 PM] Tron: It does seem to pick up about 1/2 hour in.

[4:13 PM] Tron: I was reviewing the moontree-working chat.

[4:14 PM] Tron: Not based on Blue Wallet anymore…

[4:14 PM] kralverde: No, they decided to start it back up from scratch

[4:15 PM] kralverde: The codebase seemed dated and they would have a better conceptual understanding if they built it up themselves i believe they said

[4:17 PM] Tron: Oh, I thought it switched to a Monero wallet codebase.

[4:18 PM] kralverde: May be best to see if meta stack is online

[4:33 PM] kralverde: Alright, I guess I’ll start with what I’ve been doing with electrum

[4:35 PM] kralverde: Protocol and server version 1.9 is ready to go, which is essentially adding methods to work with the rest of ravencoin; broadcasts, asset tags, qualifiers, etc

[4:35 PM] kralverde: Still no word from ledger about my PR but theyre famous for their non-communication apparently. I’ll ask again on Monday.

[4:36 PM] kralverde: Electrum 0.4.0 is in its final stage of testing (big help from r2b) and should be out within the week. It lets users create and reissue main, sub, and unique assets

[4:37 PM] kralverde: And yeah thats more or less it

[4:37 PM] Tron: That's great. Thank you!

[4:38 PM] Tron: I'll add your Electrum update to an e-mailed Ravencoin update.

[4:39 PM] kralverde: I know Hans_Schmidt was working with P2SH to ensure everythings working fine with assets with that

[4:40 PM] kralverde: HyperPeek are you around?

[4:42 PM] kralverde: Oh multilanguage seed phrases are being added to core as well

[4:48 PM] WhaleStreet: Correct. canadaduane and meta stack agreed the Bluewallet code was not written very well and mobile emulations were taking 30s-1m between changes.

We switched to a flutter based wallet and have created similar functionality to Bluewallet by combining existing dart libs.

[4:50 PM] Tron: :thumbsup:

[4:50 PM] kralverde: Awesome, thanks for correcting me, wasnt quite sure

[4:51 PM] WhaleStreet: No worries!

[4:51 PM] Panoramix: Tron What are you currently working on Tron?

[4:51 PM] Tron: Still trying to get an EV signing key. The challenge right now is third-party verification of a phone number.

[4:52 PM] Tron: Trying to get DUN and Bradstreet to add a virtual phone number to their records to satisfy Sectigo's verification process.

[4:53 PM] Tron: Had a call with Equa today. They have a client for which Ravencoin is a great fit.

[4:54 PM] Tron: Consultations with a company that is tokenizing water rights. A big deal right now with the drought conditions in the western US.

[4:54 PM] Panoramix: The smart bottles company?

[4:55 PM] Tron: I don't think so, but we didn't discuss their client's details.

[4:56 PM] Panoramix: :ok_hand:

[4:56 PM] Tron: I'm trying to get a bid from ISE for reviewing the non-P2SH consensus and wallet code.

[4:57 PM] Tron: Had a great call with the founder of ABE about tokenization.

[4:58 PM] Tron: I'm going to be on a panel at the end of August with Vertalo about tokenization.

[4:59 PM] Tron: Set up a meetup.com group for the Cruise – Ravencoin Meetup 2021.

[4:59 PM] Tron: https://www.meetup.com/miami-crypto-currency-meetup-group/

[5:00 PM] Tron: We've had a volunteer to help with the accounting, so I'm transitioning the crypto-side of the reporting to them.

[5:05 PM] Tron: I'll be at Satoshi Roundtable later this month, and I hope to get more information about Watchdog Capital and how Ravencoin can participate.

[5:08 PM] Tron: DM me if anything is being held up or needs approval/merging.

[5:16 PM] kinkajou: Is it worth using them again after two seemingly underwhelming experiences so far?

[5:22 PM] Tron: Excellent question. #1 goal is to make sure the code is safe and secure. I'm open to any suggestions to attain the goal. I did look at one security review company alternative but was underwhelmed by their assigning a non-employee contractor to the job. It is hard to measure success in this area. If they find nothing, does it mean the developers were great (probably), or that the security review was insufficient (possibly).

[5:28 PM] Zen West (Genius): Tron may want to suggest to Bruce to put watchdogcapital.com on https

[5:28 PM] kinkajou: IIRC the reason we went with ISE over Trail of Bits last time was because of availability, right? Might it be worth giving them a second look?

[5:33 PM] Panoramix: Have you considered Certik.org as auditors? Coinmarketcap is adding another paragraph on coins audited by that company

[5:38 PM] Panoramix: BNB, Aave, Kava, Tether, Paxos, Polygon and a ton more coins have audits conducted by Certik.org

[5:42 PM] Panoramix: You get a bonus PR as the icing on the cake

[5:56 PM] Tron: I'll take a look at Certik.org

[6:02 PM] Tron: I reached out via Certik form. Mostly they do smart contract audits, but they also do blockchains.

[6:12 PM] Panoramix: Excellent, get the job done with them when it's possible and please keep us updated on the progress :thumbsup:
