Agenda points & Actions

1. Retrospective

igno: The past 2 weeks have mostly been fixes and small improvement as would be expected. We still have quite a few bugs to squash and small improvements to do, that keeps us busy. Most of the activity has been on the proof-of-work side, with @tromp having added new solvers that can work in less memory and that has been integrated in grin-miner. The floonet relaunch also happened and went well, with none of the issues of the first launch.

2. Agenda review

Proposed agenda accepted.

3. Action point follow-up

No action points reviewed.

4. Mainnet planning

  • No additional points to raise on libsecp audit.
  • garyyu: I still can't 100% fix the connection exhaustion problem.
    • igno: Will take a look as well.
  • Mainnet version: v1.0.0

4.1 Mainnet release time

Process expected to start around 3PM UTC. It's expected to take an hour or two before genesis is out.

4.2 Mainnet initial difficulty

Details here: mimblewimble/grin#2121

4.3 DNS seeds

  • 4 DNS names for mainnet
  • More IPs for those names to reference are needed but that will happen as people get their machines ready.

4.4 Project readiness updates

4.4.1 Exchanges
  • A lot of exchanges have expressed interest and some are working on integrations.
  • Announcements to come from the individual exchanges once they are ready.
  • Bisq introduced support: bisq-network/bisq#2217
4.4.2 Mining pools
  • Grinmint: Ready for prime time.
  • MWgrinpool: bladedoyle:
    • Overall, Im happy with the state of things:
      • Node stability seems good
      • Miner stability seem ok
    • Im mostly worried about:
      • wallet performance
      • last minute changes that are hard to adapt to or that I dont know about

4.5 Mainnet launch dry run

  • Agreement to run a small launch test among the developers ahead of the launch.

5. Post-mainnet planning

  • v1.1.0: Bug fixes, small quality of life stuff, performance improvements.
  • Leaves time to improve documentation.
  • v2 api
  • mimblewimble/grin-miner#88

6. Other questions

  • CPU usage on miner, possible degradation with multiple cards.
    • yeastplume:
      • Solution rate should stay the same with multiple cards, roughly.
      • perhaps cpuload=1 should be the default now? We removed a large busy wait from grin-miner.
    • igno: If there's an actual slowdown with many cards compared to one, we ought to get some numbers first.

Meeting adjourned.
