 All right, welcome to the February developer call for open Bazaar This this call is being recorded and then uploaded to the open Bazaar YouTube for posterity's sake As well as the chat So we did not meet last month. So there's quite a bit of stuff to go through At any point feel free to jump in and ask questions either in the in the chat or just if you have a mic That's fine So there have been two releases on the open Bazaar side Since the last dev meeting 2.3.7 was a hot fix Because there were issues with Zcash We had to change the Zcash branch ID to be compatible with their new hard fork their blossom hard fork I don't believe there are any client changes in 237 at all. It was only on the server side and it was just to fix Zcash and then 2.3.8 came out in mid-January and That was primarily in order to fix order issues that we had so it was again mostly server side changes I'm going to move on so on the haven side There have been two main releases. I think there's been a couple minor, but two primary releases In the past few months one is the one point two point twelve release and That was a significant release because it Fundamentally changed the way that social Dynamic of Haven is done formerly it was solely a a Social feed that Is able that was able to sort of be a global feed and now it's changed to Personalized feeds you can still do the global feed, but people you follow you will automatically be able to to see them their updates and Also in one point two point twelve was push notifications, which did not exist previously So now you can get notifications for for various activities happening with within the app The one point two point thirteen release Also added backup and restore Features, this is only a few weeks ago now, but you've always been able to back up your seed For your coins within Haven, but now you can actually back up the store data itself Because the seed will only get you So far, but the backup naturally restores all or saves and lets you restore all of your data That's on the haven side Other issues or other things that we have been working on one thing is the infrastructure We've made substantial improvements and when I say we mostly Josh Josh is on the call. Thanks Josh has made substantial improvements to the admin interface There are all kinds of administrative things that we sort of do to make sure the network, you know functions properly and It's been kind of hodgepodge in the past and Josh has taken some time to improve that which we appreciate there's also been efforts to Create a blockchain scraping tool Which basically lets us look back through the blockchains of various coins that we use and Try to get a sense for how much economic activity has been happening at open bazaar now That's somewhat limited because it only works for moderated transactions. It does not work for direct transactions But I mean, it's still useful to look back through and sort of see what's been happening and Also the tools to view that data as well. So that's been neat to see The bulk of the work that's that has occurred Other on the on the server side other than the releases that we talked about is the ethereum integration work and there is light at the end of the ethereum tunnel There has been a lot of effort put in to create sort of strict acceptance criteria to make sure that we know that This is actually working properly and we are now in the testing cycle So Most of the work has been done And really it's at this point where we're just trying to make sure that all that acceptance criteria has been met and that the testing results show You know things are Things are as they should be We've worked to improve the you know quality assurance tests stuff broadly speaking Mostly it was done Because the ETH changes are you know fairly significant touch a lot of the app We want to make sure that that's done properly, but hopefully that effort will pay off beyond ETH after ETH is done Our our QA stuff is just better than it was previously And then there's been discussion as well after the ethereum stuff is done Which has been obviously the the main effort for a long time Where do we go? And so we're just trying to start talking about now what what The server side stuff looks like after ETH That's primarily What we have done over the past few months Moving forward naturally getting ETH, you know tested in and and released is the is the primary focus as I said deciding what we're going to work on next after ethereum is where we go as well and I Not really sure on the haven side at what big upcoming features there are actually I don't know if anyone on the call is familiar with that, but since the backup for store functionality was released I'm not sure what's next in queue if anyone is Is curious about that jump on our slack and and ask I'm sure Washington Especially would would be happy to tell you where that's headed There is one community thing Worth mentioning which is a new search engine that I believe is based out of China I don't know if it's actually a new engine or if it's a rebranded one But I know one of the people in the community who's very active has been Has been sharing it around to folks. That's about it on my side thus far anyone on the Obi-Wan team Do you have anything that? That I've missed that we've been working on or we'll be working on on the near future that should be mentioned Okay, it doesn't sound like it. Oh, I'm sorry Mike Yeah, I don't know if you can hear me any better now or not. Yes, I can Okay, yeah, we've we've been talking a lot about Wallet integrations obviously there was a Monero implementation that was put up Several months ago, which is continually be maintained through the changes that we've applied since Ethereum And we're starting to think very carefully about how we might be able to open up our wallet interface to support more different types of currencies and That's a conversation that is Ongoing in our slacks. I encourage anyone who's interested in contributing to that conversation to join there But we are having lots of discussions about what those next steps might look like so any who Would like to see an alternative currency be used on the open bizarre marketplace This would be a good time to jump into that conversation so that we can make sure that Other considerations that might not be top of mind for us could be included in the discussion You are now unmuted. Yeah, thanks Mike and the most effective way to do that right now is via our slack and That yeah, that's just the best place to start that so I See that Rostislav has a question that they are About the discovery page of trying to build one and asking if we have resources for it. Is it open source? So the discover I'm going to I think you mean the the sort of discover tab within the open bizarre client Yes, everything in the open bizarre clients open source the discovery page is sort of interesting because it depends on how the search provider Offers up their their results So you'll notice if you have different search providers that the the main page there looks different based on who you choose And that's because providers have some flexibility in how they can Manipulate the content so Obi-Wan is the default and that's that page with the categories You know that you see other providers don't have that categorization and look different There is a obit so an open bizarre improvement proposal that That lays out what that needs to look like. I think that's sufficient to be able to create such a page But I'm not I don't know if that's definitively true Josh, I don't know if you're able to to speak to this or not Yeah, the obit should Okay, perfect, so I will I think you've just been added to the slack group Rasta slob, so I will find that obit blink Nope didn't need to Mike's already on it. Thank you, Mike If you look at that link in the public chat that should have that information. So please go if You know if there's anything unclear in the obit you can also open the web dev panel in the desktop client and if you just look at Calls going back and forth when you do a search using the regular search provider They pretty much have all the details you need If you just mirror that it'll it should work fine Thank you guys for the information basically we want to just create some search provider based on this structure and we are trying to find out what we need to install on the server than any resources basically helped for us and I am just curious about the OP one how you build it and what you are using in this structure that can help us a lot Yeah, that's great to hear. I mean, that's we always love having new server providers come in Yeah, I mean the obit should give you the core structure But if you have questions beyond that about what we've done why we've done it that way Feel free to to hit us up in the slack Yeah, I'm at a very high level What we did is we built some crawlers that crawl the entire open bizarre network And they pipe all the listings we find into elastic search Amazon and From there we query elastic search To create the search results. So, I mean it's honestly relatively simple I Know there, you know, there's other ways to do it the big thing is you will need a crawler to Go out and find all the listings and then something to take that data and transform it back into the responses you are now on yeah, and and There's also work done to make sure that we're compliant with the sort of platforms that we're on so Obi-Wan search is the Only search that's within the Haven application and because Haven needs to comply with App Store rules for Google and iOS we It's not the only reason but we choose to Sensor content on the Obi-Wan network and obviously, you know things like filtering and Reporting tools and all that stuff is in there too. So I mean it depends on on your knees as the half, you know How much that that is necessary, but that's a pretty significant part of of how it's set up as well Yes, I saw only one provider is basically Obi-Wan. There is also some Other ones such as I'm not sure is it working or not Then I think it really helps building the new one and integrate to the open bazaar We are trying to start it from the base That's why I'm just asking this Question to find out what we need to build that you mentioned like elastic search and also AWS you are hosting it there and Maybe this is somehow flexible for us and we can choose what we want and Maybe you have some manual how we have you built it or something like that That will also help us, but I will study your link and maybe we will find some more information Right now I can find so much information about that on your website, but maybe I'm not looking well The searching results I will find out. Yeah, so yeah, go ahead Josh. Do you there's at least one open source? Compatible search engine out there. Yeah, that's what I was about to mention So there are there are not a lot of details about the Obi-Wan search because that is not open source That's something that we we do ourselves however rod who just joined the call has released an open source search engine called raw flood and I know rod that you had been looking at Either updating it or doing something new with that. I can't remember the status of that But it is an open source search engine that I know works At least one search provider is using it now. I'm pretty sure search bazaar uses raw flood And MG just posted the link. Thanks for doing that. So that that Certainly is a you know something you can you can investigate I'd also say that our sack our slack channel is a great resource for getting more information Rod keys is active there as well as the development team and we're pretty responsive to questions if you have any Yeah, and I'll add real fast. I'm rod. I'm the person who developed the raw flood that was linked in chat It was just kind of like a quick search engine that I put together. It was no means, you know, super professional But it is a good example for just seeing how to crawl the network And I fully encourage you to check it out and maybe build on top of it But I think it's helpful for just an example How to build a search engine? Thank you so much. I will check it and we will find out you I will have any questions and I will ask you slack You are now unmuted All right. Thanks for that update. That's that's great to hear Rod, do you have anything you'd like to to add what's what's been going on with all of your various efforts? Yeah, sorry, I joined the call late. I did not mean to I just got back a little later than expected So for Zocos what we're working on is just kind of getting ready for ethereum. That's a huge, you know Refactor on my foot for how I had it set up So that's actually ended up a lot of the time and then the other part that we're working on is just getting the Amazon scraper is done so that and we Kind of refactor the code a bit so Stores now have all Cryptocurrencies based on profiles similar to now OB-1 previously you had to do it per listing So when ethereum comes out users are just gonna be able to click, you know, except ethereum And it's gonna go across all their stores So a lot of little convenience things we've been working on last few weeks You are now and that's basically it from my side Okay, thank you. And for those not in the know Rod is the guy who runs Zocos Which lets you run open bizarre stores via web browser Zocos.com So if you know, please folks check that out. He's also as as Mike mentioned active in the slack and Generally very helpful. So thanks Rod for the update appreciate it Okay. Well, is there anyone's on the call who has any other questions or comments before we wrap this up? You are now muted you are now all right. I'm not hearing anything if anyone does have other questions We keep talking about the slack because that's the place to go. So please Hit us up in there. And I hope everyone has a great month. Thanks for joining. See y'all
