Day 5

Agenda

  • Standup/Demos
    • Identify blockers so we can capture them
  • Discussion
    • Steps related to resolver infrastructure
      • in order for a resolver to work
        • bitcoind doesn't fully index UTXO address
          • could take 15 secs per transaction, and a resolution may involve multiple transactions.
          • A fully indexed bitcoind on mainnet may require 1TB+ of disk space.
        • btcd does index UTXO addresses
          • there may be some others that fully index
          • there are patches to bitcoind that fully index
            • all bitcoin explorers have those patch but few open source
            • blockstream may be available
        • put on more explorer-like APIs but optimed BTCR
    • Layers
      • Bitcoin [returns transactions]: bitcoin consensus
      • BTCR explorer [returns tip results and audit trail]: following the tip (kulpreet's API) AKA dereferencing multiple transactions.
        • MAYBE: some load balancing / distrubtion of explorer services like Electrum Wallet does
          • Blockchain Commons is willing to pay/host at least 1 server
          • .onion service at some point
      • BTCR-only DID resolver [returns DID Document and audit trail]: can do bitcoin consensus and do exploration itself, or
        • call one or more BTCR explorers
      • DID general resolvers [returns DID Document and audit trail](works with multiple DID methods): all the above themselves, or they call an BTCR explorer
        • metadata format is issue #9
    • BTCR Explorer API
    • Talk about dlongley's VC
      • discussion
      • ACTION: Gave Matt & Anthony private WIF testnet key for sample implicit DID key did:btcr:xyv2-xzpq-q9wa-p7t#satoshi so that they can create real BTCR-based VCs in their demo.
      • ACTION: Put "WoT" context in each VC, will do URL based one later.
      • ACTION: Ask @dlongley to look at what it would take to put VP into credential that verifies that Alice has confirmed that Bob has possession of private key
    • implicit DID example #4
  • Next steps to close this week
  • keeping community development going
    • repos
      • multiple hackathon repos (2 in RWOT and 1 in CCG)
      • spec is CCG
        • keep this one focused on method spec
      • Github BTCR Organzization repo?
        • lots of repos vs group
        • ACTION: Create BTCR Organization github and set initials
        • ACTION: What repos should moved? How?
        • ACTION: Move this hackathon issues as appropriate
    • Who is coming to RWOT?
      • Christopher, Kim, Yancy, Anthony, Ryan
    • More regular phone/zoom/standup meetings?
      • bi-weekly
      • ACTION: @ChristopherA Doodle to pick times
    • how do coordinate a virtual community?
    • culture
      • keep the process continuous
      • keep some bitcoin-core culture?
      • overall governance structure?
        • bitcoin-core isn't completely anarchic, but close
      • licensing bitcoin-core (BSD3)?
        • patent questions? Apache? (DIF & Linux Foundation?)
          • arguments against GPLv3?
      • Keep open-source focused org, different other VC-backed ecosystem (variety)
      • ACTION: Mission Statement, Contributors guide, Global accessible (multiple)
      • ACTION: Announce community
    • Asyncronous comm? or purely community repo issues? Keep RWOT discourse in reserve.

Standup

Anthony Ronning: added labels (to label DIDs). Experimenting with VC issuing tool.

Michael Hawkins: progress on playground. UI Improvements. Will create PR against BTCR playground

Matt Collier: got @dlongley's input on sample "knows" VC

Yancy Ribben: stand up linode, Kulpreet stood up

Christopher: Puzzling through construction of VC (how do we know what we know). Also talking with Ryan about "controller"

Shivam + Mahendra:

  • debugging DID creation code (chain.so APIs)
  • btcd libraries are out of date
    • ChristopherA: there's context for that claim. Debatable.
  • will set up node to avoid 3rd party code

Kim: BTCR Method Spec, ran into problems due to #4
