David Burkett the lead developer on the Litecoin MimbleWimble proposal has simply printed his december replace documenting the work completed over the past month and increasing on his preliminary progress report in Novemeber.
“After months of planning, improvement of the mimblewimble extension block has formally began! My efforts this month centered principally round restructuring the core logic that can be shared between Grin++ and LTC. This entails all the logging, serialization, crypto, error dealing with, and customary knowledge constructions (headers/blocks/txs).”
“Most of this was already written for Grin++, however since some elements had been hurriedly coded on a good time schedule, I’m utilizing this chance to go over each line with a fine-tooth comb. As a part of this, I’m standardizing patterns that had been initially adopted inconsistently, backfilling lacking checks, and including higher documentation.”
Burkett moreover goes onto write and structure his priorities going ahead and into January. These embody, selecting a construct methodology for the challenge, probably a ‘simplified model libbitcoin’s construct system’ in addition to defining fashions, fields and serialisation formatting of headers, kernels and signatures. Additionally on the todo checklist for January is to maneuver ‘database implementations over to libmw-core, cleanup to match new requirements, and add full checks’. Moreover work will start on a mechanism that will enable for quicker syncing of the Grin chain, one thing that can lay the bottom work for Litecoin Core’s proposal.
That work may be adopted because it occurs within the following repos LibMW-Core and LibMW-ltc
