Current meeting agenda
anonymous : No agenda for today, just informal updates on development of grin-rust and grin++, and whatever else is brought to the table.
Michael / Yeast, could not be here today, but he gave an extensive update on the forum recently:
https://forum.grin.mw/t/a-yeasty-update-march-2023/10435/10
"There are no installers yet, and as I said there’s still a lot of work to be done, and we’ll hopefully be refining and honing it over time. If anyone really wants to get into core development, this is a very good place to start and one that I’d very much appreciate help with (hint-hint). Most importantly though, I think having this available gives us a place to perform experimentation on certain ideas without necessarily having to hard-embed them into the underlying APIs (more on that in a bit)."
So if anyone knows how to build installers.... help is appreciated there 😁
ardocrat : Installer - means you can build your app at client machine with GUI, it can be preloaded with libraries or download them (offline/online installer).
👍 anonymous
anonymous : yes, I think offline one click type installer is what he is referring to. But probably Michael / Yeastplume can best describe himself what he exactly wants.
David also just now gave an extensive update a few messages back and on the forum. Cool stuff going on with the grin++ client, I wonder what the 'misc' part does...
https://forum.grin.mw/t/grin-recent-development-updates-and-nostr/10449/2
So, a lot of cool developments. We just need to play more with all the options out there, NOSTR, as well as other cool ideas.
cekickafa : i see Nostr as a distraction, while still wallet users have synch, peer, crash problems.
💯 anonymous
Anyway nostr is still development itself.
anonymous : I agree. NOSTR is cool, but I prefer PIDB to be implemented on mainnet for both grin-rust as well as Grin++
💯 cekickafa
Maybe less 'fancy' on a first glance, but things like unified API (now also in Grin++ 😎 ), unified payment proofs (same proof for SRS and RSR flow (comming to grin-rust), unified payment flow (contract payment flow implemented by Phyro) and PIDB, are strong foundations for the project that are more important than fun and cool functionalities like NOSTR
👍 ardocrat
dtavarez : Nostr is simple as Grin.
anonymous : Yes, hence it is a good fit probably, although I am still wondering about how private it actually is, without using tor. Besides, the NOSTR idea of a distributed market place (Diagon Alley/NOSTR market place), also fits well with Grin.
@dtavarez Do you plan to submit a Funding Request for PIDB implementation in Grin++?
dtavarez : I plan to keep contributing for a while, PIDB could be my last funding request
🚀 anonymous
anonymous : I think PIDB is an overlooked, very important step in the project. A bit similar to how slatepacks were overlooked for what they are, a revolution in simplicity.
dtavarez : I still have work on the API side, with I mentioned, it is my main priority.
👍 anonymous
I wanted to give it a try to Nostr.
anonymous : I can imagine, don't stop experiment, but the boring work also needs to get done
dtavarez : And now I'm convinced that it's worth it.
anonymous : Good. Just as a side node, I need to go soon.
dtavarez : I don't think I can focus on anything else when working on PIDB, so I have preferred to prioritize the things that I understood were still pending imo
Also, experimenting with Nostr+Grin has been a lot of fun :) I'm not going to lie about it 😂

Step by step GRIN is moving forward to be used by anyone, anywhere.
cekickafa : yes, main mission is that ☝️
Meeting adjourned.
