P?	Node	Initial i2p support	mimblewimble/grin#2932, mimblewimble/grin#2712	Requires RFC

[antiochp]

Node team would also like to get some subset of the functionality in place for this -

#	Priority	Team	Description	Reference
1	?	Node	Variable size kernels	mimblewimble/grin-rfcs#21

We would like to get this is via "protocol version support" for p2p messages at least.
We may not get the full txhashset.zip support in place by 2.1.0 but I think we're going to at least try.
Even if we just get support for p2p messages in place it gives us a good foundation to for the consensus breaking changes planned for the 3.x.x HF.

Note: Above RFC is still [WIP], hoping to have this actually finalized in the next day or so covering the breakdown of functionality described here.

thanks @antiochp updated #1 and added #3. Re variable size kernels, how would you breakdown the chunks into distinct tasks?

Could we for example say the work "Variable size kernels" consists of:

1. Initial protocol version support for p2p messages
2. Full txhashset.zip support

Where 1 has higher priority than 2 in the context of v2.1.0?

Yes exactly - I think its pretty much as simple as that.

[lehnberg]

Cool, added both: one as a P1 and the other as a P3 - feel free to correct as you see fit.

So, for wallet this is what I have (in addition to what's already there):

#	Priority	Team	Description	Reference
1	1	Wallet	BIP39 PBKDF2	mimblewimble/grin-wallet#213
1	2	Wallet	Owner/foreign API secret issues	mimblewimble/grin-wallet#93, mimblewimble/grin-wallet#203, mimblewimble/grin-wallet#183

(Edited a bit, I missed the fact you already had one in there)

Updated

[hashmap]

Initial I2P support perhaps.

I'd like to get these 2 issues in here as well, first one is basically done and second one should be pretty easy as well.

#	Priority	Team	Description	Reference
1	P2	Node	Kernel lookup API call	mimblewimble/grin#3000
2	P2	Wallet	Update tx confirmation status by kernel	TBD

[antiochp]

@jaspervdm are those 2 related to item 1 on the list?

[lehnberg]

Updated based on discussion in /dev.
☃️ Scope for v2.1.0 is now considered frozen. ☃️
