+**\<xmrmatterbridge> \<rehrar>** Meeting?  
+**\<rbrunner>** It would be time for one, yes  
+**\<rehrar>** 1. Meetings Greetings  
+**\<rehrar>** h'lo  
+**\<moneromooo>** We're waiting for 5509 to be finished before branching.  
+**\<rehrar>** that's how moneromooo always says hello, don't worry  
+**\<hyc>** hi  
+**\<rehrar>** 2. What's been done since the previous meeting?  
+**\<rbrunner>** ... a month ago, if I remember correctly  
+**\<rehrar>** Something like that. :P So in theory at least a few things got done.  
+**\<rehrar>** is dsc\_ dEBRUYNE selsta around give a gui update?  
+**\<rehrar>** and maybe moneromooo can say something, although he kind of did already  
+**\<moneromooo>** hi  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** I am here  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Suppose I can give a quick GUI update  
+**\<rehrar>** please do  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** The white theme got merged finally! It also includes a lot of other UI improvements  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Trezor support has been finalized  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** We've also updated the QT version to 5.9.7, because QT 5.7 was kind of holding us back due to a few bugs being present in it  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Also QT 5.9.7 allows us to use more features etc.  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** An update popup was also implemented, it basically checks whether a new version is available and shows a little pop up if yes  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Fiat pricing will also be merged soon^tm, note that it will be turned off by default  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Update popup can be seen here fwiw -> https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/2100  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Other than that, the usual lots of optimizations and bug fixes :P  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** We're essentially ready for the upcoming release too  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Just need to merge a few remaining PRs, wait for the translations, and do some testing  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** That's kind of it I guess :p  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Oh one more thing, for 0.15 we'll be revamping the send page / flow to make it more intuitive -> https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/issues/2148  
+**\<rbrunner>** Looks like it will be a interesting release  
+**\<rehrar>** Awesome. And where's the core software in the process of point release? they are planning to have one, right?  
+**\<rehrar>** oh, well moneromooo did kind of state at the start  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Yeah after 5509 is resolved we're branching as far as I know  
+**\<moneromooo>** It just needs vtnerd to review (and hopefully not say it's total shite and needs rewriting :P)  
+**\<rehrar>** and then waiting on pony shenanigans?  
+**\<rbrunner>** Is it sure already that it will have the version 0.14.1.0?  
+**\<rbrunner>** If yes, I can make the few trivial updates for the installer for that  
+**\<moneromooo>** Almost certainly.  
+**\<moneromooo>** But there will likely be 0.14.0.1 etc soon afterwards.  
+**\<rbrunner>** You mean 0.14.1.1?  
+**\<dsc\_>** Ill focus on: pruning/moneroseed handler/automatic mining from within the GUI next, after that TOR/I2P  
+**\<moneromooo>** Yes, I do, thanks.  
+**\<rehrar>** sad dsc\_. Mobile one day?  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** moneromooo: Are we building directly after branching or will there be some time for testing first?  
+**\<dsc\_>** rehrar: Where's my Librem dev kit? :)  
+**\<moneromooo>** Both I think.  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Oki  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** Anyone from the RandomX team here to provide an update?  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** tevador, sech1, hyc?  
+**\<rehrar>** dsc\_: I'll literally beg on the streets for you to get one  
+**\<selsta>** 19:15 \<rehrar> sad dsc\_. Mobile one day? \<-- We don’t really have resources for mobile atm.  
+**\<hyc>** sure  
+**\<hyc>** randomx code freeze was april39  
+**\<hyc>** 30  
+**\<hyc>** we have 2 review proposals and a 3rd team isprepping one  
+**\<hyc>** I have a preliminary randomx integration with monerod in my github repo  
+**\<hyc>** tevador is still playing with cpu optimizations  
+**\<rehrar>** the review proposals will require XMR, yes?  
+**\<rehrar>** via CCS?  
+**\<hyc>** sech1 has nearly finished a CUDAversion  
+**\<hyc>** yes  
+**\<rehrar>** let me know if you guys require any help getting the CCS proposal up for them  
+**\<rbrunner>** Will be intesting to see how fast CUDA will be  
+**\<hyc>** thanks. waiting for 3rd proposal  
+**\<sech1>** I estimate CUDA version will have the same hashrate on RandomX as with Cryptonight, maybe even faster  
+**\<sech1>** It's like 80% complete now  
+**\<rehrar>** this is kind of really exciting stuff, and I'm super giddy that Monero (via you guys) are on the forefront of this  
+**\<rbrunner>** Is that earlier than originally feared / planned?  
+**\<hyc>** rbrunner wdy mean  
+**\<rbrunner>** The CUDA version. I am a little surprised it's almost ready already  
+**\<sech1>** It's not hard to implement  
+**\<rbrunner>** But somebody must do it :)  
+**\<sech1>** But the remaining 20% might take longer, it's the hardest part to do without losing much hashrate  
+**\<hyc>** yes, so it's beingdone  
+**\<hyc>** lol. the last 20% always takes the most time...  
+**\<rbrunner>** True that  
+**\<rehrar>** hyc any time frame on the 3rd team proposal?  
+**\<rehrar>** and kind of the CCS in general?  
+**\<rehrar>** this probably won't get in this upcoming fork, correct?  
+**\<hyc>** I suppose we'll see the 3rd proposal this week  
+**\<hyc>** we'll present all 3 for discussion in this channel, decide what to move forward on  
+**\<sech1>** You can watch my progress with CUDA version here: https://github.com/SChernykh/RandomX\_CUDA/  
+**\<hyc>** if we have reviews completed by July I think we can roll out in October  
+**\<hyc>** I expect to have fully working testnet monerod in time for monerokon  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** rehrar: I don't see why not if we have integration ready + reviews finished by the end of June  
+**\<rehrar>** That's awfully exciting. Thanks for sharing the news on this.  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** The october fork is then still ~3.5 months away  
+**\<rehrar>** so I guess I shouldn't  buy any more GPUs at the moment for my little 2 GPU miner  
+**\<hyc>** as sech1 noted, GPU hashrate will be comparable to cryptonight  
+**\<hyc>** but CPU rate is much higher than cryptonight  
+**\<dEBRUYNE>** I guess we'll see GPU mining as long as it is profitable  
+**\<hyc>** yeah, no reason why not    
+**\<hyc>** anyone interested in writing minig  
+**\<hyc>** mining code can get current rev from randomx repo  
+**\<hyc>** final docs/specs arethere now  
+**\<sech1>** actually, it's the dev branch of randomx repo which is up to date  
+**\<hyc>** ^ tevador says all merged to master now  
+**\<sech1>** nice  
+**\<rehrar>** I have a mac (for website testing). Maybe I can give it a shot.  
+**\<rehrar>** But I'd have to build from source, right?  
+**\<moneromooo>** Yes.  
+**\<moneromooo>** Or I guess you can grab a binary from that PR.  
+**\<dsc\_>** what does 'SSL' between wallet and daemon mean?  
+**\<dsc\_>** between monero-wallet-cli and monerod?  
+**\<moneromooo>** Data sent back and forth gets encrypted.  
+**\<moneromooo>** Yes.  
+**\<vtnerd\_>** moneromooo : I have a mac for testing too  
+**\<dsc\_>** gotcha. Ill try to test..  
+**\<vtnerd\_>** the issue is that I think I have a custom openssl build instead of whatever comes with the system, which is probably what you want to be tested ?  
+**\<moneromooo>** Well, mostly, but a custom one can't be bad either. Might find some corner case.  
+**\<rehrar>** moneromooo: I'll put it in the Revuo as well as a volunteer opportunity?  
+**\<rehrar>** though it'd help to have instructions on how to test  
+**\<rehrar>** maybe I can talk with you later and do a write up  
+**\<moneromooo>** Well, I kinda hope it'll be done and merged within a day now that vtnerd's around to review ^\_^  
+**\<rehrar>** ah, I see.  
+**\<rehrar>** no worries then  
+**\<moneromooo>** Thanks though  
+**\<rehrar>** alright, any other meeting items?  
+**\<rehrar>** Just the logs of this meeting (if/when posted) will be enough to excite the community I think  
+**\<rehrar>** pump back up to 500 dollah  
+**\<rehrar>** jk jk don't ban  
+**\<rehrar>** Alright, if there's nothing else, I think we can call it here. thanks for the check in everyone.  
+**\<hyc>** byebye  
+**\<rbrunner>** Thanks
