Weekly Firo Development Meeting Minutes

Development
41

Week 3 October

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon worked on testing and bug fixes. Most of the RPC code has been pushed, but some tests are failing and we are trying to fix them. Devnet is expected to complete this week with the assistance of Peter.
  • Most comments from Sproxet on Spark have been resolved by Peter and Levon, and parts with fixes are being pushed.

Bug fixes

  • Peter found a second issue with the addressindex problem. It has something to do with the order of transactions being processed during block disconnecting. It is hard to find because during a reindex, everything works fine. However, after a reindex, blocks were disconnected and during that process a number of amounts were recorded incorrectly. A fix is being tested to see if it’s good.

Miscellaneous

  • Ledger-live: Gevorg has finished syncing tests and is working on sending stuff.
  • Firo-QT: Gevorg has finished adding the option to hide RAP Address tab. The Ubuntu build is working and now checking the Windows build.
  • AtomicDex: Gevorg did some investigation and found out there are new updates.
    • Added new coins
    • Some warning indicators
    • Progress bar for transaction time
    • Other small changes

  • After devnet is launched, code auditing will begin.

Bug fixes

  • Transaction Index: a fix has been made and requires testing. Changes will be pushed after testing within the next few days.

Week 1 November

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon work on various task on Spark:
    • Launched Devnet by using Peter’s assistance in creating an executable and updating Devnet nodes. Smoke tests were done, mostly okay except for a crashing issue while running Spark due to Spark HF block on devnet has not passed yet
    • Did some work on wallet scanning where the “-rescan” argument was used when launching a wallet, during restoration with a fully synced blockchain, and when switching wallets.
    • Did some RPC tests and more C++ unittests
    • Implemented a RPC for Lelantus to transparent to Spark layer function
  • Devnet:
    • Levon and Peter will continue testing on devnet
    • Once the HF block is passed, the rest can assist with testing.
  • To set all Spark limits (input numbers, to be set the same as Lelantus). Mint and spend limits are the same as Lelantus for now (spend limit 5k). Limits might be removed in the future when spark launches.
  • To look into work required to have an explorer for Spark. If possible, to provide an example (devnet explorer) for the public.

Week 2 November

Lelantus Spark

  • Lelantus Spark code security audit begins. Performed by Hashcloak https://firo.org/2022/11/11/lelantus-spark-code-audit-begins.html
  • Spark wallet scanning functionality is near completion.
  • Levon implemented Lelantus mints to Spark remints RPC functionality tests and more C++ unittests.
  • Spark’s mint and spend limits will be set.
  • Spark functionality and code review are still ongoing.

Bug Fixes

  • Peter found the cause of the txindex/addressindex bug. The fix (PR 1209) is working and deployed. This requires a reindex to the wallet.
  • InstantSend lock PR: Whitelisting transactions that have stuck or locked inputs. Introduced a timeout parameter that is saved to the database and, at a later time, can use the saved timestamp to not block any transactions based on InstantSend-locked databases that are too old. The introduction of a whitelist is a hard fork.

Miscellaneous

  • Ledger-live: Gevorg is still working on the send function for the integration into Ledger Live.
  • Firo-QT: Gevorg has finished UI problems on Ubuntu. PR 1210
  • Lelantus Spork will be extended by 12 months. It is planned to release an update by the end of November, and hardfork date will be set mid-December 2022 or early January 2023.

  • A special branch was created to run on long-running masternodes to get the list of UTOXs involved in the InstantSend lock
  • Some of these lost transactions are not very old but are problematic. This is most likely due to the transactions being dropped from the mempool
  • Suggest creating a watchdogto lookout for transactions that are not mined after a certain time (eg. 24 hours) and automatically dump from the mempool. This improves the integrity of the network. When a transaction is dumped, it is to be saved so that it can be rebroadcast later.
  • To limit whitelist to only the really old transactions first

January 2023

Week 1 January

Getbalance issue

  • Peter is investigating the get balance issue. The issue is the wallet doesn’t allow one to spend funds sometimes. This happens on a really old wallet that was before HD and Mnemonics. There is a dirty fix available but not recommended unless funds are urgently needed.

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon is working on the deadlock issue. This is probably related to devnet explorer crashing.

InstantSend Lock

  • On hold until getbalance issue is solved

Firo Client

  • Sproxet getting work done for light client and updated firo client dependencies (3 years out of date)

Miscellaneous

  • Electrum-Firo: Gevorg checked and tested Dependabot updates
  • Ledger-live: Finalize with ledger
  • FiroDEX: Finalized preparation for new version for release
  • Ubuntu UI: New issue of unable to resize window due to sigma stuff is in the way. Gevorg is working on trying to remove Sigma window from the UI

Week 2 January

Getbalance issue

  • Peter was able to reproduce but there were some kind of issues. Not sure if the reproduced issue is the one that mining pools are encountering. He suspects the main problem is non-HD wallet and its restoration. Trying to repro on regtest, no luck so far. Levon will be assisting however he can

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon continues on the deadlock issue. The issue was found and a fix is working so far. Further testing is still needed.
  • Few python tests and several C++ unit tests were added

  • firo-qt: Gevorg is finishing work on removing sigma dialog from UI. There are some deprecated signals that need to be removed.
  • Ledger-live: Work on Ledger and to be finalized this week.

Week 3 January

Firo

  • Hardfork regarding the extension of Lelantus emergency switch per community decision went smoothly
  • Peter monitored the hardfork transition. There are some nodes that have not been updated. It will be fine as there are no active sporks currently but if they update they will need to reindex
  • There are some performance issues when syncing with wallets that have huge transaction history. To test by starting the wallet with firod (instead of firoqt) when it hasn’t synced for quite awhile. It might be something to do with GUI part of transaction list.

Getbalance issue

  • There are discrepancy between “getbalance” and “getbalance *” RPC calls that are giving incorrect results. Peter did some investigation on testnet and was able to kind of reproduce the results. He suspects the problem is because the wallet is non-HD. Logs were taken from the reindex and UTXO list processed during these calls and analyzed. Hopefully a fix will be found soon.

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon is finished with mobile spark related stuff
  • Deadlock fix is also finished and levon will be doing a cleanup. After that he is to set up explorer for devnet and start with the UI backend implementation.

Miscellaneous

  • Electrum Firo: Gevorg is trying to fix a bug when creating an exe file for Windows. The fix is mostly done but has problems with naming and version. It will be fixed soon

  • Ledger: to finalized ledger
  • FiroDEX: Some changes has been made but not yet tested

Week 4 January

Text update from dev team as some devs were unwell to attend meeting

Getbalance issue

  • Peter did a test for UTXOs in the wallet (if they are treated as “ours”) on regtest (non-HD wallet) and testnet (HD wallet). There is one issue and was able to repro it on testnet and a fix is underway.

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon is fixing failing unit test
  • Levon researched Spark explorer and implementation method

Miscellaneous

  • Electrum-Firo: Gevorg worked on electrum-firo build fix
  • Firo-QT: Gevorg is removing sigma dialog from UI and to finalized this week

Week 5 January

Getbalance issue

  • Peter received the wallet from 2miners and found that listed UTXOs that are treated by spendable by getbalance without paramaters and getbalance with * parameters.
  • There are discrepancies between those RPC outputs. He is investigating why this is happening and knowing what might be wrong. Testing has started but a huge wallet is taking 4 to 5 hours to go through. He is optimistic on finding the reason and a fix should be easy if right
  • There might be another problem which was found on testnet with a huge wallet.

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon started working on Devnet explorer implementation and spent most of the time familiarizing with explorer code. Estimated that it will be ready some time this week
  • Levon also investigate failing test on various platform

February 2023

Week 1 Febuary

Getbalance issue

  • Peter found a bug. getbalance returns same output with and without “*”. The balance now works but spending is not possible yet. He is able to reproduce the issue on regtest with a non-HD wallet. Coinbase, reindex and rescan wallet, bugs will appear.

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon added several unit test and writing small documentation for Lelantus Spark flow
  • Levon continues with spark devnet explorer and other parts of Lelantus spark

Firo Mobile

  • Levon is investigating lost funds and trying to restore funds to send to the user. He is trying to identify the reason for the issue. His theory is it seems skipping a lot of mintpool elements leaves some huge gap from one Mint to another, compared to QT/Electron. Further investigation is ongoing.

Miscellaneous

  • Electrum-Firo: Gevorg finished the build, there are some problems during startup (X11) and will fix it soon. He will try to add build procedure with Github Actions

Week 2 February 2023

Getbalance issue

  • Peter has mostly got the grasp of the bug. For the issue to occur, the wallet has to be a non-HD wallet. can create a send with a protected wallet by using some dirty fixes, but a proper fix is still in the works.
  • There is another bug that manifests itself where getbalance amounts are reversed (asterisk vs. without asterisk). This is being investigated and tested.

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon added more unit test and finalizing Spark devnet explorer
  • Spark Mobile: API and library are being finalized

Firo Mobile

Week 3 February 2023

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon was cleaning up and fixing some bugs on unit tests.
  • Levon is finalizing the implementation of Spark support for Explorer.
  • There are some tests and preparation before launching the testnet.
  • Mobile Spark:
    • Levon finalizing everything related to mobile APIs. There are some minor improvements to be made to lib code for mobile. The documentation for mobile implementation is being prepared.
  • To support Spark RPC calls, some changes must be made to electurmx.

Bug: wallet not displaying transactions

  • Peter found the cause of the wallet problem because it got corrupted. Transactions are missing from non-HD wallet.dat. During a rescan, somehow the wallet tx was not rescanned and put into the wallet. To recover the transactions for this wallet using the private key and public addresses of blockchain data to create a new wallet and spend from that (short term fix)

Firo

  • Peter will be trying to figure out how to fix the wallet scanning code to avoid any issues in the future.

Miscellaneous

  • Electrum-Firo: Gevorg finally finished with the build process and it works well. There are problems with the macOS packaging, but it will be fixed in a few hours. The Windows and Linux versions worked well. PR that supports Ledger Nano S Plus will need to be merged to support it.
  • FiroDex: Gevorg is almost finished with it.

Week 4 February 2023

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon is working on testing and fixing mobile_api and mobile_lib. Mobile_api branch was merged for Lelantus and working.
  • There were additional tests done on regtest, and more unit tests were added.
  • Cleanup of the mobile documentation for mobile_api and lib was done to ensure presentability for light wallet implementation, etc.

Getbalance () bug

  • Peter finally found the cause of the bug. How the bug occurs goes back to an issue where a transaction is created but not accepted into the mempool. The transaction is still saved to the wallet, which means the wallet thinks the transaction is created and the UTXOs used to create this transaction are spent. This in fact decreases the wallet balance, which is why the problem occurs.
  • getbalance * returned the correct amount that is stored in the wallet and does not actually look at the transaction that isn’t in the mempool or the blockchain, which is whythe output is different from just getbalance…
  • Dumped the transaction in question when accidentally reproduced the issue., The transaction in question is safe because all the inputs are already spent and nothing will happen if the transaction goes into the wild, so it’s possible to test what exactly made it so that it is not able to be accepted in the mempool. Once we fix this, there won’t be any problems like this in the future.
  • zapwallettxes=1 fixes this problem, and no further work is needed. Need to create a wallet with the following settings before importing: usemnemonic=0, usehd=1, upgradewallet=0. usehd=1 works in this case but not usehd=0, a bit counterintuitive

Miscellaneous

  • Electrum-Firo: There is a new release. Gevorg finished all working build processes on Github Actions for all platforms.
  • FiroDex: There are some minor issues to be fixed.
  • MasternodeTool: Gevorg will be looking into an issue reported by Anwar.

Week 1 March 2023

Lelantus Spark

  • Levon is testing Spark functionality and did some minor fixes related to rough transaction parsing.
  • The required changes for Spark devnet explorer have been done. There are still small changes to be made to insight-ui-zcoin. Some changes to several repositories supporting devnet for Explorer are needed as it is a new network. This will need 2-3 days to complete.
  • Binaries builtwith GUIX crashes upon reaching Spark batch verification; manually built binaries have no problem.
  • Levon is continuing to test the mobile Spark lib and API in order to complete it by the end of the week.
  • Arcadia has been engaged to assist with the GUI for Spark

getbalance issue

  • Peter continues to try fixing the issue leading to the tx that can’t get into the mempool. He found out the fix was not that easy. It was thought that the test that was done last week was proof that something could happen, but when reproducing the issue, the transaction goes to the mempool normally. It is tricky, as the transaction can’t get to the mempool during the send to RPC call, but it can get into the mempool via the send raw transaction RPC call. This will be addressed and is not a fatal issue, as zapwallettxes=1 will do the trick.
  • He found a way to reproduce the issue by adding several large transactions in quick succession to the mempool. Then there will be an error regarding the “too long mempool chain”. This is a problem when you cannot link too many UTXOs on unconfirmed mempool transactions. There is a way to fix this problem by trying to add the transaction first to the mempool and only then marking the UTXO as spent on the wallet.

Miscellaneous

  • FiroDex: Gevorg finished and is preparing for the 0.5.7 release. AtomicDEX has a .1 release. We might need to open a PR on KomodoPlatform/coins for the lack of a local config file in this new release and some missing Electrumx servers.
  • MasternodeTool: There was some work done on it.
  • Ledger live: Gevorg will be continuing to work on integrating Firo on Ledger live.

Week 2 March 2023

Lelantus Spark

  • Devnet Explorer: There was an issue adding a new network to Devnet. Levon and Anwar are figuring out what is wrong with it as they were unable to install it to do tests.
  • There are new unit tests added for Spark, and hopefully the Explorer will be ready for Devnet as most changes have been made.
  • Levon will be doing manual testing for devnet as soon as the explorer issue is resolved.

Getbalance issue

  • Peter found out that there is little we can do since this is actually a feature of Bitcoin (deducts your balance but doesn’t go into the mempool). It is recommended for users to use the command zapwallettxes=1 if there is a discrepancy between getbalance and getbalance *
    • The reason for this issue is that some of the change from the first transaction is used in the second transaction. There’s a limit on the size of transactions in the mempool until one is mined into a block, the second one cannot really enter the mempool, and balance is reduced. It won’t get into the mempool unless rebroadcasted.

Miscellaneous

  • FiroDex: Gevorg has finished preparation for the 0.5.7 release. Anwar has tested it and it works fine on all platforms.
  • MasternodeTool: Support for Nano S Plus was added. Currently fixing blank configuration spaces (passwords, private keys, servers, etc.)
  • Ledger-live: Gevorg continues to work on ledger-live integrations for Firo.

Week 2 April 2023

Lelantus Spark

  • Peter did a code review on Spark that correlates to the white paper and test coverage assessments. So far it is pretty good.
  • Levon finished fixing the isMine() bug. However, it results in some RPC tests failing, which are being fixed.
  • Transaction indexing is fixed, which allows Explorer to lookup Spark-type addresses.
  • Levon edited the mint creation limit to set it to no limit.
  • Levon will be fixing the Spark spend issue where exceeding the maximum limit will result in failed transaction creation due to unoptimized code.
  • Peter had some outstanding PRs regarding refactors, and they will be finished soon.

Firo Client

  • Sproxet is almost finished with the test for Gui-client before moving on to transaction creation.

Miscellaneous

  • Bitcoin IP leak issue: Peter is investigating this. He doesn’t think we have it. However, this is probably a bad thing since we don’t have it. This is because transactions that never get broadcast to the mempool will not be rebroadcast in the future or ever (Daemon).GUI wallets have a function to rebroadcast, but not in daemon.
  • Ledger-live: Gevorg worked on the Firo integration. He will be meeting with Levon later this week to check his code.
