Hi all,
Here to provide another update. I have been working on a few things, that can be summarized as followed:
-
Fixed multiple bugs in the wallet. We released v5.0.3 shortly before the last HF, fixing some issues with the owner API. There are a few more outstanding bugs that I am currently working on.
-
Now that the network supports PIBD segments, we can use them to speed up the sync process. I started with the specification and implementation of the parallel sync. A new RFC by me is underway that describes the necessary changes to the node to accomodate the fast sync. It will also include a plan to activate PIBD and eventually hopefully move away from the zip sync method.
My current funding period ends this month. Going into the next period (if approved) I would like my main focus to continue to be these 2 points. I will elaborate in more detail about this in my funding request.
