Welcome ‘sp4rtan’ to the Tangram Project: sp4rtan is an active privacy enthusiast who has lurked in the Tangram community for a couple of weeks now. After getting in touch, he has decided to step up and lend his skills to the project. Initially he will focus on creating the Windows install scripts in preparation for Cypher Open Beta Testnet, and from there he'll switch to working with Stéphan on the cyp2px (libp2p) C++ library. We are pleased to introduce sp4rtan, the new newest member for Tangram! Please give sp4rtan a warm welcome! https://medium.com/tangram-tgm/welcome-sp4rtan-to-the-tangram-project-13cfe10209c8 |

Update: State of Cypher
Since the last update, more work has gone into tidying up many components of the project. Pingpong, along with the devs, has continued many iterations and upgrades towards the Open Beta release. A more detailed update may be shared later regarding the releases. But for now, here is the way things stand.
Done:- Re-generate Testnet genesis block post-RocksDB changeover.
- Cleanup and progress robot framework integration tests.
- Node installation network configuration checker.
- Mempool validation and verification for double spends (Release 6*)*
- Validate Multilayered Linkable Spontaneous Anonymous Group Signatures (MLSAG), including checking that inputs are referenced from the blockchain (Release 7)
- Blockmania’s consensus (Release 8*). Unit tests have been done and are to be incorporated into the unit test project here: https://github.com/cypher-network/cypher/tree/master/test/unit/cypcore-test-unit
Planned:- Coinbase transaction for rewarding nodes. Though this can be crudely tested as of now, it will be much better when the wallet is set up for testers to try this correctly (Release 5*)
- Setup and testing of Bamboo wallet (Release 4)
- Change event logger from server socket to client socket, so that the node connects to the tester instead of vice versa. - Build a test application for node clusters.
- Use test application to run different test cases for network refinement
- Continue Reactive Serf implementation.
Testnet 2 internal soft-restart approach with a small node cluster this week. Summary:Issues have started to be populated at https://github.com/cypher-network/cypher/issues and https://github.com/cypher-network/bamboo/issues, labelled and assigned. These will also be arranged according to assignment across cypnode, bamboo, documentation, or related subjects. Once the team is ready to open testing to the public, install and setup documentation will be completed and shared with everyone. *R5,6,7 would require unit tests to be created. |

Pingpong went live on Twitch for a walkthrough on Tangram to run through high-level descriptions on the wallet and node. For those who missed the live stream, here is the link for the recording: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/833872709 |

Updates on development and test-net2:
Wallet
Add Stealth addresses (used for better obfuscation when using RingCT);
Add view key (view transactions of a given account) and spend key (sign a transaction of a given account);
Outputs referencing inputs to the new transaction;
Add an extra field for transactions. (Replaces messages as separate service);
Fix RPC as JSON structure has changed;
Test end-2-end;
Remove and clean-up code.
Node
Fix RPC and MQTT, ( JSON structure has updated);
High effort tasks
1. Add coinbase transaction for rewarding nodes (according to the distribution and validation life-cycle);
2. Crude zk-PoS implementation.
Medium
1. Test end-2-end.
Low
1. Validate Multilayered Linkable Spontaneous Anonymous Group Signatures (MLSAG), including checking that inputs are referenced from the blockchain;
2. Merkle tree update (changes due to RingCT);
3. Mempool validation and verification for double spends.
With that being said, we're a couple of weeks out from completing the above then test-net2 can be released.
