Weekly Dev Update #179

Hey y’all, 

Oxen Core

The Oxen core team continued their work on Wallet3. We managed to successfully get multiple wallets to sync simultaneously from a daemon. Work also continues on transaction sending, with the team trying to identify the best method for selecting decoy outputs given Oxen’s unique usage fingerprint.

• WIP Wallet 3 add Oxen encoding and get multiple wallets syncing from same daemon https://github.com/oxen-io/oxen-core/pull/1490

Session

The Session team continued to focus on WebRTC calls, with the specific goal of smoothing out UX/UI differences between platforms, correcting layouts to appear similarly on all platforms and adding additional indicators for when a call is active.

Session Open Group Server

We converted the live Oxen open group server (with the public Session, Lokinet, Oxen, Crypto groups) to the new Python-based open group server codebase on Friday last week. The upgrade brought forth a few minor issues that were quickly fixed, but for the most part it was a seamless transition. Moving forward we are now focused on the creation of new features (such as a bot/spam interface) into SOGS.

• oxenmq server integration (for bots/advanced API) https://github.com/oxen-io/session-pysogs/pull/17

• oxenmq bot interface https://github.com/oxen-io/session-pysogs/pull/7

• Fix upgrade import bug that caused ban-and-delete-all to not propagate deletions to all Session clients https://github.com/oxen-io/session-pysogs/pull/16 

Thanks,

Kee
