Jaspervdm - Progress update thread - March to May 2020

Progress since last update:

  • We have released version 3.1.1 of the node which should fix all “illegal instruction” errors on startup for the linux binaries. If you still get this problem for v3.1.1 (or higher), please open an issue for it on the grin repository
  • I have continued to make improvements to the async p2p code. Managed to fix some issues regarding resource usage, particularly around spawning threads. I’m still seeing some connection stability problems that I am trying to hunt down and fix. They are likely caused by contention on a lock, so I’m looking into possibly replacing some of it with message passing. Once these issues are fixed I will ask the community to help testing it and give me feedback on its stability!
