Meetings Greetings **\<rehrar>** h'lo **\<moneromooo>** We're waiting for 5509 to be finished before branching. **\<rehrar>** that's how moneromooo always says hello, don't worry **\<hyc>** hi **\<rehrar>** 2. What's been done since the previous meeting? **\<rbrunner>** ... a month ago, if I remember correctly **\<rehrar>** Something like that. :P So in theory at least a few things got done. **\<rehrar>** is dsc\_ dEBRUYNE selsta around give a gui update? **\<rehrar>** and maybe moneromooo can say something, although he kind of did already **\<moneromooo>** hi **\<dEBRUYNE>** I am here **\<dEBRUYNE>** Suppose I can give a quick GUI update **\<rehrar>** please do **\<dEBRUYNE>** The white theme got merged finally! It also includes a lot of other UI improvements **\<dEBRUYNE>** Trezor support has been finalized **\<dEBRUYNE>** We've also updated the QT version to 5.9.7, because QT 5.7 was kind of holding us back due to a few bugs being present in it **\<dEBRUYNE>** Also QT 5.9.7 allows us to use more features etc. **\<dEBRUYNE>** An update popup was also implemented, it basically checks whether a new version is available and shows a little pop up if yes **\<dEBRUYNE>** Fiat pricing will also be merged soon^tm, note that it will be turned off by default **\<dEBRUYNE>** Update popup can be seen here fwiw -> https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/2100 **\<dEBRUYNE>** Other than that, the usual lots of optimizations and bug fixes :P **\<dEBRUYNE>** We're essentially ready for the upcoming release too **\<dEBRUYNE>** Just need to merge a few remaining PRs, wait for the translations, and do some testing **\<dEBRUYNE>** That's kind of it I guess :p **\<dEBRUYNE>** Oh one more thing, for 0.15 we'll be revamping the send page / flow to make it more intuitive -> https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/issues/2148 **\<rbrunner>** Looks like it will be a interesting release **\<rehrar>** Awesome. And where's the core software in the process of point release? they are planning to have one, right? **\<rehrar>** oh, well moneromooo did kind of state at the start **\<dEBRUYNE>** Yeah after 5509 is resolved we're branching as far as I know **\<moneromooo>** It just needs vtnerd to review (and hopefully not say it's total shite and needs rewriting :P) **\<rehrar>** and then waiting on pony shenanigans? **\<rbrunner>** Is it sure already that it will have the version 0.14.1.0? **\<rbrunner>** If yes, I can make the few trivial updates for the installer for that **\<moneromooo>** Almost certainly. **\<moneromooo>** But there will likely be 0.14.0.1 etc soon afterwards. **\<rbrunner>** You mean 0.14.1.1? **\<dsc\_>** Ill focus on: pruning/moneroseed handler/automatic mining from within the GUI next, after that TOR/I2P **\<moneromooo>** Yes, I do, thanks. **\<rehrar>** sad dsc\_. Mobile one day? **\<dEBRUYNE>** moneromooo: Are we building directly after branching or will there be some time for testing first? **\<dsc\_>** rehrar: Where's my Librem dev kit? :) **\<moneromooo>** Both I think. **\<dEBRUYNE>** Oki **\<dEBRUYNE>** Anyone from the RandomX team here to provide an update? **\<dEBRUYNE>** tevador, sech1, hyc? **\<rehrar>** dsc\_: I'll literally beg on the streets for you to get one **\<selsta>** 19:15 \<rehrar> sad dsc\_. Mobile one day? \<-- We don’t really have resources for mobile atm. **\<hyc>** sure **\<hyc>** randomx code freeze was april39 **\<hyc>** 30 **\<hyc>** we have 2 review proposals and a 3rd team isprepping one **\<hyc>** I have a preliminary randomx integration with monerod in my github repo **\<hyc>** tevador is still playing with cpu optimizations **\<rehrar>** the review proposals will require XMR, yes? **\<rehrar>** via CCS? **\<hyc>** sech1 has nearly finished a CUDAversion **\<hyc>** yes **\<rehrar>** let me know if you guys require any help getting the CCS proposal up for them **\<rbrunner>** Will be intesting to see how fast CUDA will be **\<hyc>** thanks. waiting for 3rd proposal **\<sech1>** I estimate CUDA version will have the same hashrate on RandomX as with Cryptonight, maybe even faster **\<sech1>** It's like 80% complete now **\<rehrar>** this is kind of really exciting stuff, and I'm super giddy that Monero (via you guys) are on the forefront of this **\<rbrunner>** Is that earlier than originally feared / planned? **\<hyc>** rbrunner wdy mean **\<rbrunner>** The CUDA version. I am a little surprised it's almost ready already **\<sech1>** It's not hard to implement **\<rbrunner>** But somebody must do it :) **\<sech1>** But the remaining 20% might take longer, it's the hardest part to do without losing much hashrate **\<hyc>** yes, so it's beingdone **\<hyc>** lol. the last 20% always takes the most time... **\<rbrunner>** True that **\<rehrar>** hyc any time frame on the 3rd team proposal? **\<rehrar>** and kind of the CCS in general? **\<rehrar>** this probably won't get in this upcoming fork, correct? **\<hyc>** I suppose we'll see the 3rd proposal this week **\<hyc>** we'll present all 3 for discussion in this channel, decide what to move forward on **\<sech1>** You can watch my progress with CUDA version here: https://github.com/SChernykh/RandomX\_CUDA/ **\<hyc>** if we have reviews completed by July I think we can roll out in October **\<hyc>** I expect to have fully working testnet monerod in time for monerokon **\<dEBRUYNE>** rehrar: I don't see why not if we have integration ready + reviews finished by the end of June **\<rehrar>** That's awfully exciting. Thanks for sharing the news on this. **\<dEBRUYNE>** The october fork is then still ~3.5 months away **\<rehrar>** so I guess I shouldn't buy any more GPUs at the moment for my little 2 GPU miner **\<hyc>** as sech1 noted, GPU hashrate will be comparable to cryptonight **\<hyc>** but CPU rate is much higher than cryptonight **\<dEBRUYNE>** I guess we'll see GPU mining as long as it is profitable **\<hyc>** yeah, no reason why not **\<hyc>** anyone interested in writing minig **\<hyc>** mining code can get current rev from randomx repo **\<hyc>** final docs/specs arethere now **\<sech1>** actually, it's the dev branch of randomx repo which is up to date **\<hyc>** ^ tevador says all merged to master now **\<sech1>** nice **\<rehrar>** I have a mac (for website testing). Maybe I can give it a shot. **\<rehrar>** But I'd have to build from source, right? **\<moneromooo>** Yes. **\<moneromooo>** Or I guess you can grab a binary from that PR. **\<dsc\_>** what does 'SSL' between wallet and daemon mean? **\<dsc\_>** between monero-wallet-cli and monerod? **\<moneromooo>** Data sent back and forth gets encrypted. **\<moneromooo>** Yes. **\<vtnerd\_>** moneromooo : I have a mac for testing too **\<dsc\_>** gotcha. Ill try to test.. **\<vtnerd\_>** the issue is that I think I have a custom openssl build instead of whatever comes with the system, which is probably what you want to be tested ? **\<moneromooo>** Well, mostly, but a custom one can't be bad either. Might find some corner case. **\<rehrar>** moneromooo: I'll put it in the Revuo as well as a volunteer opportunity? **\<rehrar>** though it'd help to have instructions on how to test **\<rehrar>** maybe I can talk with you later and do a write up **\<moneromooo>** Well, I kinda hope it'll be done and merged within a day now that vtnerd's around to review ^\_^ **\<rehrar>** ah, I see. **\<rehrar>** no worries then **\<moneromooo>** Thanks though **\<rehrar>** alright, any other meeting items? **\<rehrar>** Just the logs of this meeting (if/when posted) will be enough to excite the community I think **\<rehrar>** pump back up to 500 dollah **\<rehrar>** jk jk don't ban **\<rehrar>** Alright, if there's nothing else, I think we can call it here. thanks for the check in everyone. **\<hyc>** byebye **\<rbrunner>** Thanks
