Highlights of the Cuprate meeting of August 06 2024:

Updates:

• fluorescent_beige: Wrapping up Hot-swappable database issue (PR 209) (WIP at PR 242)
• boog900: Have been still working on the tx-pool. Also plan on making changes to dandelion++ crate, most notably by making its usage of the tx-pool more efficient. Finally started writing additional issues and future tasks for Cuprate, in an attempt to improve clarity on the current code state and help contributors discuss tasks.
• hinto-janai: Finishing up the RPC section in the architecture book, have upstreamed RPC documentation fixes to monero-site and finished the rpc interface crate resulting in a limited but working RPC server.
• yamabiiko: Closed it’s CCS for feeling unable to deliver the quality expected, due to unfortunate life circumstances. The team send them love and support.

What is next:

There has been short discussion around the txpool and binary strings serialization issue. The Txpool implementation is still missing major components.

• hinto-janai proposed an upstream fix for monerod to deprecate custom serialized binary strings, in an attempt to avoid having to build custom serializer/deserializer for cuprate (which needless to say, is both a regression over standard crates and requiring extra-cautions as parser are inherently dangerous).

Ecosystem

jbabb is a newcomer in the cuprate channel that plan on building a flutter library around cuprate.
