--- layout: post title: Overview and Logs for the Dev Meeting Held on 2016-07-31 summary: Monero Project repository, and brief update on Ring CT tags: [dev diaries, core, crypto] author: dEBRUYNE / fluffypony --- ### Overview - ### Logs **\<fluffypony>** time for meeting to start **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Are we not having a meeting? **\<ArticMine>** I was wondering the same thing **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Kovri meeting at 17:00. I thought we were meeting at 16:00. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** fluffypony: ^ **\<ArticMine>** For Monero **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Yes **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** * disappointed **\<luigi1112>** Maybe he died **\<luigi1112>** We could meet without him if people have stuff to say :-) **\<moneromooo>** Well, I have one thing to say: who wants to join the testnet and try random stuff to see if they can get it to break ? **\<moneromooo>** Preferably corner cases. **\<ArticMine>** How many testnet nodes are there? **\<moneromooo>** I think three. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** I would but I don't have a reliable VPS at the moment. **\<ArticMine>** I can set at testnet node. What are the stiings **\<ArticMine>** settings **\<moneromooo>** bitmonerod --add-exclusive-node 176.9.17.19:28080 --testnet **\<moneromooo>** And you need to have built with my rct-private-fork branch. **\<moneromooo>** And make sure you backup your db and wallet first, as they won't be compatible with "normal" version once you run rct code. **\<moneromooo>** https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero/tree/rct-private-fork is the branch to use. **\<moneromooo>** Actually, use https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero/commit/58ea23fa144b9eaec506461f96649d0c7b4b3914 **\<moneromooo>** Latest has an incompatible comms change. **\<ArticMine>** Great I will give this a try. Is there a test net db or sync from scratch **\<moneromooo>** If you don't have a testnet db already, you will have to sync. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** #903 has gotten some momentum. Is it too soon to come to an agreement? **\<moneromooo>** Can't hurt I think. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** So we need a name. moneromooo any thoughts? **\<_Slack> \<needmoney90>** Bond. James Bond. **\<moneromooo>** I've seen two names proposed already. I don't have a better idea. **\<_Slack> \<needmoney90>** (What are we naming again?) **\<moneromooo>** A repo, AFAICT. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** neemoney90: #903 **\<_Slack> \<needmoney90>** Repo-y McRepoface **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** luigi1112 any thoughts? **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** ArcticMine ^ **\<_Slack> \<needmoney90>** My thoughts submitted **\<ArticMine>** monero-organization for #903 **\<moneromooo>** That sounds good. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Ooo, I like that best. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** ArcticMine will you comment in issue or I can copy/paste? **\<ArticMine>** You can copy past, I may comment. **\<ArticMine>** copy/paste **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** K, done. I also like monero-project/organization. **\<ArticMine>** That is also good **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Kovri end-user documentation proposal is in open tasks **\<ArticMine>** Actually better than my original idea **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** https://forum.getmonero.org/7/open-tasks/2592/create-end-user-kovri-documentation **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** The problem with the forum is that its somewhat obscure and I don't get emailed notifications. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** So obscurity = less funding. No notifications = more babysitting. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** An org repo can help with things like this, imho. **\<redfish>** maybe monero-project/org **\<ArticMine>** org can be confused with .org Just a thought **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Agreed. How about https://github.com/monero-project/community **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Or is that too vague? **\<ArticMine>** I thing community is too broad. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Kovri meeting in 3 minutes. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** I'm hopping over to #kovri-dev **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** I wish the relay bot was online. **\<ArticMine>** One could say organizational **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** I would say have it here but I don't know who is freenode side. **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** If anyone is interested in talking about a logo for Kovri, could you please hop over to #kovri-dev? **\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** I don't know if dEBRUYNE is logging our meeting so I or slack will be taking care of it.
