This was incorporated in the aeternity/aeternity repo. More work was done on deletion of transactions from the mempool. A total of 35 hours.
Ulf Wiger (uwigeroferlang.chain)
Ulf worked mostly on the structural changes needed for maintenance mode and proper plugin management. Time spent: 36.5 hours

Time spent: 2 hours
Week 28 (12 July - 18 July)

zxq9
Craig worked through some additional platform identification issues, experimented with getting external commands to be managed more easily from within the node, and reduced the complexity of the configuration interface (the complex version seems to make more sense in an “advanced” mode, as most of the options will not be of interest to most users).
Time spent: 13 hours
Dimitar Ivanov (dimitar.chain)
Dimitar was onboarding HyperChains. A total of 24.5 hours worked.
Dincho Todorov (@dincho.chain)

Craig continued with the automated build process from the GUI and started separating out platform specific issues, deciding to focus first on the canonical Debian case, getting the automated sourcing and building procedures to work.
Time spent: 12 hours

Week 32 (9 August - 15 August)
Ulf Wiger (uwigeroferlang.chain)
Ulf has been testing the Maintenance mode support. Some shortcuts in automated tests need to be addressed. Time spent: 38.5 hours
zxq9
Craig researched use cases for hyperchains, use cases for the main PoW blockchain and existing smart contract utilities for creating a marketplace for a real-world p2p product exchange system (imagine Etsy or eBay, but not subject to political censorship from a payment processor), and started working on the load/start procedure from within the GUI’s own node.
Time spent: 20 hours
Dincho Todorov (@dincho.chain)
Dincho continued working on application cluster and there is some dev environment already running with gitops configuration of argocd, traefik ingress, prometheus, grafana and alertmanager.
Time spent: 30h
