Monero Community Workgroup Meeting: Saturday 5th November 2022 #
My own personal proposal "CCS coordinator" was moved to funding which was quite the emotional roller-coaster. Seeing the donations/support is heartwarming and should be encouraging to other contributors. This past week i've been contacting auditors to discuss audits of bulletproofs++, getting feedback from community members on CCS ideas, keeping an eye on some, not all, ideas on the work in progress list. Finding/stopping bugs from being deployed in both the Monero GUI #1 #2 / CLI wallet #1 and updating docs on getmonero.
- Maybe a bug in the GUI

Monero v0.18.1.1, Flourine Fermi released
Looks like probably this change if you run the GUI in simple mode.

Monero has a serious user friendly problem
The sync time actually could be mitigated by the wallets themselves by finding the way how to move the sync process into the background to run it all the time. Of course, this is not so trivial to do as it sounds because some platforms have technical limitations e.g. iOS has a very limited policy for background tasks. Nonetheless, there are still ways how this could be bypassed, and one of them I'm using myself: MyMonero + monero-lws on a dedicated hardware which is running 24/7. With this setup I have instant status of my wallet status anytime, even after a month without sacrificing any(?) privacy. Of course, this is still miles away from being "friendly to use / good UX" because first and foremost it requires building "monero-lws" from the source code where most of the non-tech-savvy would immediately fail, there are other setup challenges as well but that's not the point. The point I wanted to make is that wallet sync time definitely has ways in which it can be improved, at least from the UX perspective. Sometimes solutions needs a bit more out-of-the-box thinking.

Farcaster: Community update August
We have now completed the necessary interfaces for communicating with both blockchains - something we termed syncers. The integration work in the node is mostly complete. For bitcoin, we are currently using the electrum protocol, while for monero we are communicating with the monero daemon and monero-wallet-rpc. Using the monero-wallet-rpc for multiple swaps at a time proved quite slow during our testing, so we are now exploring the usage of vtnerd's monero light wallet server. In contrast to the monero-wallet-rpc, the light wallet server can keep track of and scan for transactions of multiple distinct view keys at a time. Our work integrating the monero rpc interfaces also led to some pull requests to monero-rpc-rs in the monero-ecosystem project.

Can I host my own "lite" wallet server?
Technically, yes, but it’s fairly difficult and not user friendly at the moment. I believe it can be done with OpenMonero and monero-lws, both created by community members. Here’s the repo to lws: https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws

Monero lightwallet client options
I have found the vtnerd lightwallet server monero-lws. I want to use that on my Monero node. But as far as I know the official GUI does not support the lightwallet api. Is that correct? What are my options to connect to the light wallet server?
- Asynchronous transaction scanning for multiple keys/wallets
- Running a MyMonero server?
-
MyMonero Android app is available for testing
If people are worried about using our servers for their scanning vtnerd has a mymonero compatible local server https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws
