Questions & Comments

@JimCollinson some questions…

DNS is back - the design for this would be interesting, or at least to know whether the capabilities are like the original or something more like pet-names as has been suggested.

I hope there will be much more for developers to help them decide what is worth building and to start working with APIs - ideally before they are finalised - rather than that seeming mostly to be in Oct-Nov. Hopefully pre-Hackathon but by then at least?

Can we know if there’s a Browser? Will devs get early access so they can build web apps?

Rewards for community / early public testers is a great touch. People will love that, not least here! :partying_face: Wallet integration partnerships and a Wallet app already being worked on! :clap:

EDIT: also…

  • no mention of updated Primer?

Note: on hole-punching, the AutoNATv2 PR is nearing completion and may be merged before long. Mainly “smoke-testing” (against the Go version) and a few tweaks but the work appears complete.

Not sure if you want to fix typos:

“nework” on an early slide
“so it suitable” on the overlay that slides over the chart
“block expore to” on an overlay for DAG explorer

I also suggest 2/5 is understood whereas 2:5 is not
