Each weekday the Production Dev team meets to talk about their accomplishments, challenges, and goals. Afterwards, Kiki Pluche writes up a summary of that meeting. This is a compilation of all the summaries from the past week.

Ok, Happy to see almost everyone in the daily again

What we discussed:

We will further develop on testnet, not holding back on the scaling NOW solutions that are being worked on by the different teams (Giveth, Swarm city, ea…), the Scaling now congress is 6–7 March, so let’s see what comes from that, but for now, we go further on the way we planned.

Edu explained the progress of the IPFS consortium, it holds some solutions that are useful for swarm city, but misses some others, such as an index. The IPFS consortium needs to move to Rinkeby as well. Edu is working on that, as is Sponnet.

We’ll asking flurkel to join in the daily tomorrow, to see if we can get all requirements about encryption regarding the needs of data being transferred with the IPFS consortium solution. At this point we are looking at the shortcode solution will is building on. Is the same level of security guaranteed in the IPFS consortium, if so, do we use that solution right away? Questions to be discussed with Flurkel tomorrow. Needs to get resolved within 1 week.

Edu will focus on testing as well, on the load on the server, Will can make a script to fire a hell of a lot of transactions to see what stress it can take.

Will is gonna work on the transaction history coming in, make subscription to the API to get the data, push into Redux to get displayed in the front-end. Same goes for the transaction status.

Front-end: Xardas will further work on issues.

THE END

OK people, thanks for the great attendance :-)

So here is a resume of the daily:

Flurkel attended to make decide on the way we can store data. Yesterday we talked about the opportunity of using the IPFS consortium, using a smart contract that stores the ipfs hashes. This would be a different solution than storing the data on a replicating database. We decided to go for the solution of the IPFS consortium, especially working on testnet, where it’s not so costly to put that on a blockchain. We will use this solution every time some sort of data (encrypted or not) that needs to be shared, f.e. in relation to the shortcode, chat, list of hashtags,…

Edu will proceed on working on the IPFS consortium, Sponnet is involved in that, and Flurkel asked to involve Sophiii and/or Jordi.

Secondly we talked about the Smart Contracts, Edu proposes a different way to populate the app with deals, by listening to events in the smart contract, everyone is ok with that.

Front end not discussed, Xardas is travelling, Faffy is working in comms in Miami. Will be for the daily tomorrow.

THE END

Thanks all of you for joining; Here is….. the resume

Edu updated everyone on the meeting last night, he will be rewriting the smart contracts and make them compatible with the IPFS consortium. Apart from that Edu proceeds with writing tests.

Edu and Will are going to look at the shortcode together, to see how that fits into the structure that is proposed, to make sure we don’t have different ways of providing/sending/reading data.

Will is done with family obligations and Will continue knocking down issues in the site repo.

We went over the unassigned issues, discussed them and assigned them, Mostly to Xardas some to Xardas and Faffy. These are all small issues, except for the transfer not working, Will is gonna look into that tomorrow.

THE END

Resume of the short daily:

Will is writing out the specs for the shortcode, so Edu can see if his propositions matches up to that. Edu is writing out the specs of how the smart contracts interact with the API, that is good food for talk for him and kador.

Will has solved the issues/bugs:

- hide upload backup on iphone

- after upload private key, the display my info is showing again

- show the private key on the paper wallet

- figured out why transactions no longer go through

Will will continue on tackling the issues assigned to him and will kill all the bugs/issues surrounding the avatar in the weekend. Once that work is done, i’ve promised him a box of belgian waffles. (actually they’re typical Dutch, but Will thinks they’re belgian, let’s keep it that way)

Xardas and Faffy will use their time in Miami partly to continue on deals sections. Combined for Xardas to further kill issues with label terminal. 12 left…..

Faffy will work on communication, anyone can follow on the progress in slackchannel #commextended

THE END

The Resuméééé:

Will made a log of the interaction between front end and API, it makes it easier to debug, and is good to follow transactions, if it fails we can easily see where. Fixed some more issues. kador focusses on getting the transaction data out., that’s his focus for the moment.

edu has the smart contracts deployed on rinkeby and created events, API can start listening and playing with it. Edu can move on to the deals.

xardas is knocking down issues, and will work on deals with faffy.

We continued a more technical discussion with only kingflurkel edu and Will about the shortcode and all the messaging that will happen in the app. We explored the possibility of using smart contract to store ipfs hashes, but we came back from that route. Using whisper is ruled out, because not production ready, leaves us with the option of replicating databases, our preference goes to Redis. But Edu is first going to take one day to explore Orbit, a tool to do messaging using IPFS, might be too experimental too, but let’s check that out before ruling it out. Tomorrow we know more about that.
