::::::: Small dev update!


Hey folks!  We have planned the following work for the upcoming 4 weeks:


Create a wallet node & release the Android wallet beta version


We are making progress with the Android wallet and plan on releasing a test version within two weeks (plain APK) and a beta version within 4 weeks (play store).  We enhanced the ombred daemon so that wallets can provide the node the viewkey and let the node only return blocks that have transactions for the viewkey during sync. This drastically reduces the sync speed and data consumption by a 100x.  However this approach does give a lot of trust to the wallet node and so we will likely make this synchonization method option so users can chose to sync with or without viewkey.

Enforcement of authentication between GUI wallet and wallet RPC daemon


The GUI wallet runs the wallet RPC daemon in the background. There currently is no authentication enforced by the wallet RPC which is a security issue. We will extend the RPC daemon and GUI wallet to enforce proper authentication.

Whitepaper on [Suspicious link removed]pression


We think there is a lot to be gained with [Suspicious link removed]pression and will research this topic by writing a whitepaper that also takes things like bulletproofs into account.

Wiki bounties


We created a wiki and would like to collect the knowledge within the community in written form. We will create bounties for people to write wiki articles on topics such as, how to recover your wallet, how to export import a block chain, how to run a testnet, etc

So stay tuned and we'll give an update on progress within two weeks!
