Meeting Notes 2022 02 07

Releases

• 0.0.105 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/22)

  • Only minor things remaining

• 0.0.106 (https://github.com/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning/milestone/23)

  • ETA? Depends on how fast we get thru the 0-conf PRs
  • Fine to merge graph sync client side without fully done reviewing the server side
  • Jeff may be release manager and document the process

Roadmap Progress

• Developer support
  • SoB in progress, people starting up on the project
• Payment protocols
  • Work done on payment protocol feature comparison matrix
• Language bindings
  • Nothing major
• Taproot support
• Anchor outputs
• Lightning Service Provider (LSP)

Dependent Projects

• validating-lightning-signer (https://gitlab.com/lightning-signer/validating-lightning-signer)

  • Working on routing policy enforcement, signing routing txs that maintains minimal state
  • Bitcoind core listener
    • Distant future: oracles, use those to confirm what’s in the utxo set
    • Currently we’ll listen to a bitcoind node and be cognizant of gaps in hashrate, so we know if we’ve been eclipsed
    • Want to know the utxos we’re depending on are valid
  • Most complexity is not in bitcoind listener, it’s in the part that accumulates the interest and keeping straight what utxos to watch for

• BDK-LDK / Sensei (https://github.com/johncantrell97/bdk-ldk)

Spec

• alias SCIDs / 0-conf channels (https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/910)

  • This is WIP in ldk

• payment metadata (https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/912)

  • Matt has a PR for this, but wants to redo some of it

Misc

• review begs?
