Logs

<fluffypony> time for meeting to start <hyc> ok <ArticMine> Ok <fluffypony> ArticMine / othe / smooth / NoodleDoodle / moneromooo / tewinget / dEBRUYNE / gingeropolous / etc. <dEBRUYNE> somewhat here <fluffypony> ok <fluffypony> welcome to the 75th annual hunger games <fluffypony> ok so <fluffypony> first things first, small administrative update <fluffypony> we've re-applied for funding from the OTF, but for Kovri (given their previous response) <fluffypony> it's the start of the process, but who knows, maybe we have a bit of funding to work on both <fluffypony> as Monero represents an example integration <fluffypony> then the open issues are creeping up, there are a bunch I'm going to be closing as solved <fluffypony> #754 is an interesting onw <fluffypony> *one <fluffypony> https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/issues/754 <moneromooo> We don't care now, since rct. <fluffypony> good point <fluffypony> ok so then it can be closed as wontfix <moneromooo> Well, it's fixed, by transfer_new. <fluffypony> yes <fluffypony> so <fluffypony> I'd like to reopen the discussion of deprecating transfer and replacing it with transfer_new <fluffypony> or is that pointless because rct <moneromooo> I've done that in the rct branch. <fluffypony> ok great <fluffypony> perfect <fluffypony> then binary renames are on hold until the rct PR <fluffypony> because I don't want to make that implode <hyc> what renames? <moneromooo> I don't think this would conflict much, if at all. <gingeropolous> bitmonerod --> monero and stuff like that prolly <fluffypony> hyc: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/issues/80 <fluffypony> this in particular: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/issues/80#issuecomment-223596750 <hyc> ah <fluffypony> moneromooo: do you want me to PR changes to your branch then? will save you a rebase? <moneromooo> Sure. <fluffypony> ok great <moneromooo> Would rct be merged before the wallet2_api stuff then ? <fluffypony> so that's the next thing for discussion <fluffypony> the massive wallet2 PR <fluffypony> it's rebased against master now <fluffypony> moneromooo: what are your thoughts on merging before or after ? <moneromooo> I don't really have one. <moneromooo> Maybe merge Ilya's first, since there's not going to be much review/fixes anyway. <fluffypony> ok <gingeropolous> so wallet2 a buncha stuff specifically designed for GUI? <moneromooo> wallet2_api is. <fluffypony> there's also been a fair amount of review on that PR because it's so hefty - is everyone comfortable that major issues (especially in git history) have been resolved and it can be merged? <moneromooo> Depends on how high you put the bar. <fluffypony> moneromooo: it's low - we can open issues to fix stuff after the merge <moneromooo> But assuming the GPL code is gone, I think it's ok. It can be changed later. <fluffypony> oh the GPL cmake stuff, I'll check on that <fluffypony> looks like there's a BSD licensed replacement now <moneromooo> I saw the comment, I did not look at the new code. <fluffypony> hokay <fluffypony> then there are a bunch of new PRs if anyone wants to take a glance at them <fluffypony> #878, #879, #882, #883, #884, #885 <fluffypony> they're mostly small <fluffypony> I need someone to check mine (885, just a readme change) before merging plx <hyc> huh i only see up to 881 <hyc> oh PRs not issues <moneromooo> I seem to have reviewed all these, except the windows packages one which I have no clue about. <fluffypony> it compiled successfully <fluffypony> couple of weird complaints about deprecations at the end <fluffypony> C:/msys64/mingw64/include/boost/type_traits/detail/template_arity_spec.hpp:13:84: note: #pragma message: NOTE: Use of this header (template_arity_spec.hpp) is deprecated <fluffypony> # pragma message("NOTE: Use of this header (template_arity_spec.hpp) is deprecated") <fluffypony>
<hyc> I've been getting that on most builds now <hyc> boost 1.60 <fluffypony> ah <fluffypony> boost, sigh. <hyc> not sure what there is to do about that since it's an internal header file, not one thata we explicitly include <fluffypony> http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/264164 <fluffypony> fixed in 1.61 <hyc> ok <fluffypony> ok so <fluffypony> general update-y time <fluffypony> tewinget doesn't seem to be around, he can update us on 0MQ when he is <fluffypony> moneromooo: how goes ringct? <moneromooo> I'm kinda blocked today, so I didn't do much. <fluffypony> I mean in the last two weeks since the last meeting, lol <moneromooo> Both that watch only thing that nobody wants to talk about, and waiting for shen's sybil resistant upgrade. <fluffypony> kk <moneromooo> Well, last two weeks, more tests, fixes, sweep_all now uses rct, and better output selection (for the general case). <hyc> does rct let us do watch only with both deposits and withdrawals? <moneromooo> No. <fluffypony> this sorta bounces back to the MRL, so we wait for feedback <fluffypony> hyc: are you doing anything interesting at the moment? <hyc> not really. I still need to come up with a fix for txn_full on 32bit <hyc> I'm traveling most of the the rest of this month <hyc> so not much hacking time <fluffypony> cool beans <fluffypony> ok - anything else from anyone else? <luigi1112> Hi <luigi1112> :-) <moneromooo> If anyone wants to start reviewing the rct-rptest branch, I don't think it's going to change again (save new commits). <moneromooo> Like, find how to pwn it. <fluffypony> oh luigi1112 I forgot to tag you at the beginning, apologies <moneromooo> Would be a good job for Heuristic, except there's no picture of hte code... <moneromooo> Oh, some other dev related thing: luigi1112, any news on the change to signing something from a standard address ? :) <luigi1112> Nah I've been reading but don't have any time to participate atm <luigi1112> Oops :-) <luigi1112> Still soon <fluffypony> you forgot the tm <fluffypony> it's not soon if it's not tm <luigi1112> Well it should be this week or next :-) <fluffypony> ok I think that brings the meeting to a close - Kovri meeting is only in 23 minutes, so feel free to add / discuss new things and it'll be in the log <hyc> i got nothing, catch y'all next time <gingah> any new thoughts on the auto fee thing? <rg> id like to bring up the most imporant issue, fluffypony -- free XMR for me <fluffypony> gingah: auto fee? <moneromooo> The thing ArticMine was looking at - scaling fees based on... stuff. <ArticMine> Setting fees based on the blocksize <ArticMine> and the reward penalty <ArticMine> One also has to look at optimizing what transactions miners will accept vs block penalty and fees paid
