zzz orignal, I did not attempt to measure improvements on the live net

zzz it just doesn't seem that it would lead to any useful results

zzz all I can say is I do ack "almost" immediately when I get the flag

orignal that's fine

orignal and I see SSU2 woking fast

zzz I also promised to do another round of speed tests on the testnet, but probably not until next month or two

orignal everything looks good

zzz yup, nothing else to report

zzz anything else on 1) ?

orignal no

zzz 2) go-i2p

eyedeekay 2 things, looks like more than it is:

eyedeekay 1: onboarding updates: thulium recently contacted me and helped out already by rewriting the broken mapping struct, which I had been stuck on for a while

eyedeekay both thulium and apeace have expressed a desire for better onboarding docs and for me to devise a style and policy for us to work toward

eyedeekay to that end, I took a look at the contributing documentation and used it to outline what should form our guidelines for new contributors

eyedeekay not everything is in compliance with those guidelines yet, notably the godoc is way behind the standard that document now sets, and thulium and I are splitting the task of updating that.

eyedeekay 2: transport updates, I had a successful test of my Noise-like transport

eyedeekay but when I got back into it this week finally I found that I was creating the socket without making the socket part of a muxer

eyedeekay the result of which was that I could build one Noise connection then it would be blocked from occupying the same port again, or select a new port for every connection

eyedeekay Obviously that's backward so I need to fix that

eyedeekay That's really all I've got

zzz that's great that you're making things better to get more help

zzz that's the only way things will move forward fast enough to catch up

zzz also important to get the licensing straight up front before the code base gets contaminated

eyedeekay And I think I'm finally getting the hang of actually doing this much more challenging network stuff, building point-to-point connections is simple enough but my mental model has been really lacking

orignal soory network issue

zzz yeah I never really understood threads until I started working on i2p, if it makes you feel any better

eyedeekay I don't remember if I covered the licensing stuff in the dependencies section of CONTRIBUTING.md

eyedeekay I'll add that really quick after the meeting if I didn't

zzz might want to skim thru the github open source guide I linked on my forum a couple weeks back

eyedeekay There's so much of computing I *only* understand because of working on I2P at this point

zzz take what you like, ignore what you don't

eyedeekay Will do

zzz anything else on 2) ?

eyedeekay Nothing else really, unless you're interested in a toy bittorrent client

eyedeekay But that was a lark for the weekend lol

zzz psi_'s XD could use some love

eyedeekay I'll wait until I have my other projects under control to make that a focus

eyedeekay I messed with a pure-go libtorrent to see how difficult it would be to adapt it with onramp(one of my go SAM libraries) and it worked pretty well so far

zzz but everybody loves writing a BT client as a way to learn something, have fun

zzz anyway

zzz 3) eyedeekay brief item

eyedeekay Everything I had was covered in 2) go-i2p update

zzz ok, there is no brief item then

orignal no

zzz misread it

eyedeekay no problem

zzz I'll add a quick 3) just to make a promise

zzz following eyedeekay's lead of promising something here so it gets done

zzz I've started writing my giant blog post on SSU2

zzz with links everywhere

zzz target completion, end of the month

zzz so somebody ask me how it's going next week

zzz EOT

eyedeekay looking forward to it(The blog post and the asking)

zzz when I'm done orignal is welcome to copy and translate it for elsewhere

zzz I'm trying to cover everything we've done since 2014

zzz which was the start of sig types

zzz anyway

zzz anything else for the meeting?

eyedeekay Nothing else from me

zzz okey dokey, thanks everybody

orignal sorry guys

orignal had to restart the router and modem

orignal so what's the task?

zzz huh?

orignal <zzz> when I'm done orignal is welcome to copy and translate it for elsewhere

orignal what are you talking about?

Xeha ~zzz | I've started writing my giant blog post on SSU2

Xeha ~zzz | with links everywhere

orignal acetone is working on article about ssu2

zzz ok. please let him know I am also
