Dev Meeting Transcript (August 6, 2021)

[4:06 PM] Tron: Hi everyone.

[4:06 PM] Hedger: Hello :sunrise_over_mountains:

[4:07 PM] #1RVNfan: Hello!

[4:08 PM] Sevvy (King Clot): Hi

[4:09 PM] kralverde: Howdy

[4:09 PM] JeremyHS: :wave:

[4:09 PM] Tron: I don't have any specific agenda items.

[4:10 PM] Tron: I have a couple of updates.

[4:10 PM] Tron: We finally got the phone number updated on the Ravencoin Foundation records which was holding up the signing key.

[4:10 PM] Tron: Next step is to have them verify that via the third party (D&B).

[4:11 PM] Tron: ——————

[4:11 PM] Tron: ISE is getting me an estimate on doing a security evaluation on all the other non-P2SH changes. Expecting that in about a week.

[4:12 PM] kralverde: If they were to do a review, how long would that be?

[4:12 PM] Tron: I'm not sure. I'm sure that will be included with their estimate.

[4:14 PM] Tron: There's been lots of activity over the last few days. OnTheBlock has been working to line up podcasts.

[4:14 PM] Tron: Ravencoin is LunarCrush coin of the day (again).

[4:15 PM] #1RVNfan: Were you able to get in touch with Stably?

[4:15 PM] #1RVNfan: Regarding the stable coin on RVN

[4:18 PM] Tron: Not yet.

[4:20 PM] kralverde: After we get these signing keys and make the release, what are you looking at for next steps development wise

[4:20 PM] Tron: I just e-mailed Stably to see where we are and what we can do to push that forward.

[4:22 PM] Tron: I think it would nice to have better support for memos (in Core). It would also be nice to have 2nd tier UI solution for messaging, and memos. Just a site that makes them available via a web page, and via an API.

[4:23 PM] kralverde: And what does a memo in this context mean

[4:24 PM] kralverde: An asset message?

[4:24 PM] Tron: A memo is an IPFS hash (Content Id) that goes with a transaction.

[4:25 PM] kralverde: Nice ive heard asset messages and broadcasts are a bit lacking in the ui right now

[4:25 PM] Tron: Message (IPFS sent with tx in a loop to root asset admin token), Meta-Data (IPFS with asset creation transaction), Memo (IPFS with any transaction).

[4:25 PM] kralverde: Ah so memo is the op return?

[4:26 PM] Tron: Yes.

[4:26 PM] Tron: Core protocol supports them all. UI support is spotty so usage is spotty.

[4:28 PM] Tron: Ideally, once support is added, then other wallets (Moon Tree, Stibits, MangoFarm, Zelcore, etc) will support them.

[4:28 PM] Tron: If it is popular, then maybe Edge, Exodus, Trust Wallet, etc would also support memos.

[4:29 PM] Tron: These are immutable (public) memos. Different than adding a memo in Exodus which is local only.

[4:29 PM] Tron: Of course they can be encrypted if they are for your eyes only.

[4:37 PM] #1RVNfan: What about SegWit? WhaleStreet also mentioned researching covenants – is that something the devs are interested in looking into?

[4:39 PM] kralverde: I know there were throwing around ideas of making a new type of transaction to make buy/sell orders on some kind of decentralized listing based on ben’s atomic swaps

[4:39 PM] JustAResearcher: Segwit would be nice. Taproot would be nice. MWEB would be nice. There’s a lot of things we could do.

[4:41 PM] #1RVNfan: That sounds interesting. Is that related to covenants or something different?

[4:41 PM] kralverde: It would be our own thing

[4:44 PM] #1RVNfan: Very cool I'd love to hear more about that. Is there an ongoing discussion happening somewhere we can follow?

[4:44 PM] kralverde: It was during a qt voice meeting two weeks ago (every wednesday 1530ET)

[4:45 PM] kralverde: Just an idea right now

[5:02 PM] Hedger: Tron what projects devs working on you think will make it to the core gui first? Thx

[5:08 PM] Tron: There are no central devs. There are generous volunteer devs, and bounty incentivized devs.

[5:09 PM] Tron: If there is a general consensus on what should be incentivized, I'll add bounties for issues (improvements).

[5:11 PM] Tron: ——

[5:12 PM] Tron: Closing the channel….
