Below is his addition to the thread.
“December Progress:
After months of planning, development of the mimblewimble extension block has officially started! My efforts this month focused mostly around restructuring the core logic that will be shared between Grin++ and LTC. This involves all of the logging, serialization, crypto, error handling, and common data structures (headers/blocks/txs).
Most of this was already written for Grin++, but since some parts were hurriedly coded on a tight time schedule, I’m using this opportunity to go over every line with a fine-tooth comb. As part of this, I’m standardizing patterns that were originally followed inconsistently, backfilling missing tests, and adding better documentation.
The LTC priorities for January will be:
- Determine build method – Since the code will now be spread across a few repos, a slightly more complex build process is necessary. I’m still figuring out the best way to handle this, but am currently leaning toward a simplified version of libbitcoin’s build system (https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-build 11)
- Define all LTC models – Determine the exact fields and serialization format of the headers & kernels (including signatures)
- Move the database implementations over to libmw-core, cleanup to match new standards, and add full tests.
I also will be working on a faster sync mechanism for Grin next month, which LTC will directly benefit from.”
