anynomous: Todays meeting agenda can be found here: #151 Lets take 2 minutes to read the agenda, if there are any other suggestions for agenda topics, please let me know so I can add them. Lets start with agenda topic 1 for today:
- Donation to Grincoin.org In short, I think a modest donation should be in place but I am waiting for more feedback from other CC members. Also I would welcome any feedback community members here. What's your opinion on this @wiesche? See here the link to the discussion on the forum: https://forum.grin.mw/t/donation-to-grincoin-org/11415 @wiesche If you do not have a particular view on it, that is also fine, jut le me know
wiesche: I use grincoin.org often and I think it is justified. I use the Api with GRIM and with my own projects.
anynomous: Ok, good to know. I think we all appreciate the contribution, the least we can do is compensate for material costs for the long run. But that is just my own opinion,, … we need 4 CC onboard for funding. Thanks for the input at least, maybe also useful if you express your opinion on the forum to give the thread a boost: https://forum.grin.mw/t/donation-to-grincoin-org/11415
anynomous: As for our second agenda topic: 2) Some community members request more detailed instructions with test cases to make it easier to get started mwixnet in layman terms.
wiesche: that is my point
anynomous: You mean the above agenda topic?
wiesche: the second point
anynomous: Ok, feel free to explain, you find the instructions to opaque/vague?
wiesche: I have install a grin node and a grin-wallet in a poroxmox ubuntu vm.
anynomous: In general I think testing is very ill defined since it can encompass anything. Ok, not familiar with poroxmox.
wiesche: proxmox..sry. i have build mwixnet from sources in the VM than i have run (instruction like git mwixnet)
anynomous: I will be honest, I have not looked at mwixnet for testing yet. But I think in general the idea is to spin up node+mwixnet+wallet, share pubkey with others to connect mwixnet nodes and start doing testnet transactions. Ok, and all is good or running into issues at some point?
wiesche: one moment i share an image
anynomous: Ok, and your node is running? Ok, perhaps a configuration issue, did you look at the configurations shared on github? Just to be sure, you did run "mwixnet init-config"
wiesche: yes, the mwixnet --testnet init-config cmd generate the toml
anynomous: You can check, if wixnet-config.toml exist, its configured ok
wiesche: this is the config .png (Note: the image was not included)
anynomous: And if you opened, it does contain some key?
wiesche: The config refers to the key files and exists in the path.
anynomous: Ok, if you are running grin-wallet, does it also show a connection issue? I wonder if it is just mwixnet does have connection issue with the node, or also the wallet.
wiesche: grin-wallet is running as a service
anynomous: Ok, so grin-wallet is working like normal, but mwixnet has connection error, is that correct? Ok, so far so good.
wiesche: testnet owner_api is okay
anynomous: but then when you run mwixnet, you have that error?
wiesche: true
anynomous: Ok, I do not know what the issue might be. Perhaps something to do with grin node running on 0.0.0.0.13414 and not on 127.0.0. something.... This would be easiest to debug by comparing with someone who has it running Did you ask on dev channel?
wiesche: no, not yet i think it would be very good in principle if we could get a little more meat in the description. I'm a software developer myself and I'm having a bit of a hard time with it. So I ask myself, how can we get more people to test? we don't have to solve the problem now. i have seen that there is also a docker variant. Is mwixnet already installed and functional here?
anynomous: Ok, best to ask on grincoin#dev. I agree with you that good documentation is key. Also troubleshooting between testing peers is key. We all overlook stuff and each OS has their own quirks. Probably together as testers, we have to find the weaknesses in documentation and fix it. Ok, I got to go now. Refreshing to hear a new voice at these meetings.
- CC: Further discuss and vote on the donation to grincoin.org.
- @wiesche: Post technical details of the MWixnet setup issues on the grincoin#dev channel.
- Improve MWixnet documentation and provide practical examples for easier setup.
- Community : Testers compare notes and find issues in documentation and software to fix.
Meeting adjourned.
