Dev meeting 29 August 2022

Meeting Summary

NanoMsg instead of ZeroMQ

Joseph suggested using Nanomsg instead of ZeroMQ. building ZeroMQ is not easy (specially in Windows) and more importantly we can use pure Go implementation of NanoMsg.

The format of block events defined like this:

<event_id: 1 byte><event_data: variant><height: 4 bytes><seq_num: 4 bytes>

Consequences:

  • Smart contract can be defined easily.
  • Infura-like services become easy. Just replaying the events.

Reviewing a Pull Request

Nagaraj’s PR reviewed.

Renaming project

Renaming (rebranding) project discussed. We decided to create an online survey to pick up a new name for the project. Everyone is encouraged to participate by suggesting some names.
