hi this is char Parkinson broadcasting live from warm sunny Colorado and giving you guys a brief product update on Cardno the thing we all have come to know and love so anyway Cardno is evolving at a pretty rapid pace the Haskell code is evolving quickly the Russ code is evolving quickly I and there's a few things coming down the pipe and I'm kind of try to give you guys as many updates where and when they make sense and when they're possible I just got a great demo on Friday and the demo had a lot of material in it everything from how we're handling logging and how were handling reporting inside of the app we've built a whole framework for that to actually demonstrate in the network protocol demonstrating the consensus protocol demonstrating many nodes running together and we're very rapidly moving towards getting to a point where we can replace all of the old legacy code and put that into production into the new Haskell climb the Haskell wallet back end has already been coupled up with the jorb injure rust node and now that we have a very stable Haskell node coming soon we're going to start integration work after July 19th for the Haskell wallet back end to the to the new node the new rust node excuse me new Haskell node and we're also doing some technical debt reduction and cleaning and other things because there's a mo of Daedalus the the latest version of it that's going to be shipping with one-point-six there's a lot of new GUI features a lot of things that we listen to from the help and support desk so I think you guys going to be really excited about 1.6 tentatively that's shipping in early August late July so it depends on how long it takes to get through QA but I think there's probably 50 or 60 major new things that we've done a lot of reactor texture some changes technical Rosetta production on the Daedalus side so real proud of that in addition we're also going to be turning on the DFT hearts work very soon probably sometime early August so so that's looking nice as well on the Shelley side the Haskell the the rust test net has really been an amazing experience we've got an enormous amount of feedback and every week we cutting a release with it and that velocity and momentum looks like it's not going to let up so we just cut a release on Friday 0.3 I and affixed a bunch of things and added a few new features and we're thinking about building some form of an SDK for people to be able to build stuff with the rust self node test net and the network side is looking pretty good so hopefully sometime soon we'll be able to get to phase 2 of the rest test net and not we haven't done we'll probably get to a point soon we're going to do a Haskell self no test net you'll be able to see the differences between the two clients we're bringing in a professional economist on board we've been working with her for a different project and we're hopefully gonna be able to move her over very soon to Cardno so that we can begin an independent review of the incentive scheme that we've come up with because after network is set and that's done the very next phase and the last phase before Shelly is getting the right incentive schemes all of you are wondering now JD do you get for staking and all these other things we have an opinion about how to do this in the formal specifications but the time has come for both community review and for professional academic review in that respect and we'd like to do this quickly generally these things take about three to six weeks for the review to come through and some form of a document is drafted so weekly releases are happening on the rest side it looks like Haskell in a few weeks we should be cutting a stable Biron node for test net and then we'll begin a very fast integration of the Haskell wallet back-end into that Biron node and then we'll begin the integration to Daedalus into the new byron node and into the new Haskell wallet backend and then we'll be able to 100% replace all of the legacy code and have a completely new fresh client and not to be outdone also there's a pretty rapid process of turning Shelly rules from the formal specifications which are already written in reference code to actual production code so that process is going to be fun to follow and fund the see and it's really a great competition between the rest side and the Haskell side in terms of how quickly they're starting to deliver things to market so it really feels like an exciting time it's nice that every week something's being released every week somebody's doing something your ROI 1.8 recently came out I can't to see future releases everybody has an opinion on what's a stake whole like and we've gotten a lot of great feedback and advice and there's over 2,000 people now on the stateful task force channel which is really exciting because a lot of them are actively participating many of them to built the self load test net and they've given us a lot of great feedback and they're just getting very ready to stake so that is certainly coming soon as soon as we get that Network stuff set up and then that's phase two and phase three is incentives phase four is release domain net so brief update nothing significant but a nice bundling of good news and progress and you can clearly see all of it if you look at our github repos the red it's the Twitter feeds our announcements in addition to that David's going to begin doing some form of regular communications in the community probably every four weeks maybe six weeks it just depends on how he wants to cut it and it'll be an announcement basically roll-up of all the things that you guys that we have made progress on that month and then an AMA so there's a little bit of an internal discussion about the best way to solicit questions for that AMA but my preference would be to do it the way I always do it which is live some people don't like that unfortunately but I do I really enjoy these live questions and it's always fun so yeah Cardinals looking good now on the science side not to be outdone there the scientists are preparing or Boers Hydra and or Agora caseros and or most Cronos for submission to a few conferences that are coming and we should have some form of preliminary design in September for hydra hydra is the capstone it's the final component in the very long stream of research that we've done for more starting with gkl paper and working its way to classic the classic rewrite browse BFT crypts eNOS Chronos Genesis false there's been a lot of warhorse papers but the most meaningful and significant important is certainly Hydra because that's where we shard and basically that'll be a scalable design that we can use for the foreseeable future which will inherit all of the advancements that we've gotten from the prize prior papers everything from spikes of dishonest majority to decoupling clock to not having to bootstrap from a checkpoint rather being able to bootstrap from Genesis the sidechains protocols and so forth so I'm looking very much forward to seeing that finally finish I'm also extremely happy to see the orb horse rewrite that recently came out July 5th that was the product of over two years of careful thought so if you really want to get on board and actually understand how a horse works the new or Bors classic paper that was refreshed from the old 2016 paper is really an amazing publication the proofs are concise and beautiful the prose is quite good and it's a really a culmination of a lot of knowledge that we've gained over the last few years and we will be doing the same with the Browse paper and subsequent papers and rewriting them in the style of the classic paper and then likely submitting them for journal submission it's always nice to do that and it's a good capstone for for that side of things so so science is certainly beating the drum hard we're learning a lot we're sure as hell doing some great research all across the board and doing some MVC research we recently published a zero knowledge proof paper called Sonics and hopefully we can do something interesting with that doing research into private computation we're doing research into more scalable side chains and we have certainly a whole family of papers on the neat the files and the proof of stake sidechain side that are coming out so that research hasn't led up so all of our scientists are firing on all cylinders and we're very very happy about that and what I'm also incredibly happy about is how we're able to take that research and put it into production quickly it's really exciting so a few people have asked why does it card Auto have an official canonical white paper and that's a good question we have over 40 papers we've written we've written lots of documentation there's a philosophical paper called white card oh no but I've decided that probably be a good idea to take summaries of all of these different threads the philosophical paper and the things we want to accomplish on the accounting side and begin aggregating all of that together into kind of like a traditional white paper that you expect for a cryptocurrency so we'll begin working on that later this year it's process that will be supervised by a gentleman named dr. Jamie Gaby his father is an extremely famous computational logician dove Gaby and wrote some very foundational papers in the 20th century and logic and it'd be very fun to work with Jamie he's very pedantic and rigorous and extremely good writer and he's been a referee for many different journals and he's quite good at being a gatekeeper pulling these things together so look for that as well we don't have a release date for it but it'll come and it'll be a nice aggregation and kind of clarity a moment of what's it all about and then perhaps we can use that as a basis for a marketing refresh as well we've been thinking very aggressively about that a card on foundation recently got a new director I met with him on Friday his name is Heinrich comes from UBS and has a long background in the law and mergers and acquisitions a very interesting guy he's definitely focused on operations and leadership and community and executing the mission of the Cardinal foundation we have very productive hour long conversation about basic goals philosophies things that need to be done I need for more transparency a need for building a diverse board and it's good to see that we're aligned in that respect so my hope is that Heinrich will soon go on the card ah no effect and be able to come up with a nice strategy for introducing himself to you the community as executive director it's kind of the big guy behind executing the vision and strategy of the foundation so so for those of you asking for the foundation to be more proactive you now have a person to go talk to so when Heinrich starts unveiling himself because he's only been around for a week and a half and takes a little time to get started please do talk to him and get these things done so so things are certainly moving we have a lot of great projects looks like negotiations are going well was a certain company that shall remain nameless that wants to play something on card ah no and we're very excited it's in the anti-counterfeiting realm and we'll make a statement about that as soon as we close something we're also of course getting things done in Mongolia Georgia and Ethiopia and we're watching great progress there and we'll make announcements where and when that makes sense so overall despite the markets and despite some of the sentiment you know the reality is that hard work is required to do great things and every single day 200 people wake up at i/o HK and our partners wake up every single day and they do hard work and we're starting to really see the output of that hard work people can install things people can run things everything from chocolaty packages on Windows to homebrew it's a snap craft I worst we're really just cutting releases all the time and we're turning great research into great code to give it to a great community so thank you all for listening this is as I said a brief update I'm very proud of the progress we're seeing and I'm extremely hopeful for Shelley I think it's going to be a great release I'm also extremely happy what I'm seeing out of Plutus and there's some major upgrades coming there soon I'm very happy that we can decouple the blockchain code from the off chain code and you don't have to use Haskell for the off chain code you could use JavaScript and other such things but we of course recommend using the best code I'm very happy about the GHC J's progress I'm very happy about asterisks and the progress there with webassembly things are looking really sharp and flutist as a language is looking really sharp as is Marlowe as a language and we've gotten some great feedback from the workshops there so it looks like Gogan is definitely on schedule and there's gonna be some real fun things we can do if you're curious about it I'm going to a hackathon in Wyoming there's probably 500 plus people who'll be showing up the governor of Wyoming will be there alongside many of the political leaders of the state it's at University of Wyoming I believe in Laramie we'll make an announcement about our participation there but we're going to be doing some Plutus workshops and marlowe workshops and I'll be personally there making a speech about what we're doing and perhaps we'll send them we'll chuck I've already and others so you'll have a chance to take it for run there's also recently published a flutist book on Amazon we wrote a book and we'll write another book after flutist is a little bit further along and that'll probably be in a riley book or something along those lines and thus begins the steady drumbeat march of getting functional programmers into our ecosystem and building realized things and interesting things from issuing their own currencies to building really cool interesting dabs so that's the fun part of my job the hard part is getting the infrastructure in place and dealing with all the day-to-day affairs but that's all well in hand and definitely a lot of progress so thanks guys for being a great community and really really appreciate all the the patience and also the feedback now it's a two-way relationship you're telling us things we're learning things from you and rapidly iterating as a result and that's how a project should be run so until next time goodbye my friends [Music]
