David Burkett the lead developer on the Litecoin MimbleWimble proposal has simply printed his december replace documenting the work completed during the last month and increasing on his preliminary progress report in Novemeber.
“After months of planning, improvement of the mimblewimble extension block has formally began! My efforts this month targeted largely round restructuring the core logic that shall be shared between Grin++ and LTC. This includes the entire logging, serialization, crypto, error dealing with, and customary knowledge constructions (headers/blocks/txs).”
“Most of this was already written for Grin++, however since some elements have been hurriedly coded on a good time schedule, I’m utilizing this chance to go over each line with a fine-tooth comb. As a part of this, I’m standardizing patterns that have been initially adopted inconsistently, backfilling lacking exams, and including higher documentation.”
Burkett moreover goes onto write and format his priorities going ahead and into January. These embrace, deciding on a construct methodology for the mission, probably a ‘simplified model libbitcoin’s construct system’ in addition to defining fashions, fields and serialisation formatting of headers, kernels and signatures. Additionally on the todo checklist for January is to maneuver ‘database implementations over to libmw-core, cleanup to match new requirements, and add full exams’. Moreover work will begin on a mechanism that might permit for sooner syncing of the Grin chain, one thing that may lay the bottom work for Litecoin Core’s proposal.
That work could be adopted because it occurs within the following repos LibMW-Core and LibMW-ltc
