Technical

Core

• Make walytis_beta_api capable of fully verifying a blockchain from block data files, so that the role of Walytis Core is only creating and sharing blocks.
• Join Blockchain timeout when no data has been received during file transmission
• Remove block_records block index? Make more efficient?
• clean up threads from failed join requests
• Walytis.get_blockchain_data: tests & documentation
• Brenthy and Brenthy-Tools: assert that maximum Brenthy API module protocol version is not greater than BAP version

API

• GenericBlockchain: add abstract method set_block_received_handler?
• Blockchain: pass directory #phase4
  • implement
  • tests
  • static function param
  • docstrings
• check on efficiency of walytis_api.Blockchain._load_missed_blocks amount parameter
• fix issue with pip install not updating installed version of package, test for 2nd docker container
• proper error message when IPFS is turned off
• Blockchain only remembers if user's block handler processed the block if update_blockids_before_handling == False
• Blockchain: replace auto_load_missed_blocks with auto_start_block_handling
• add replacement for get_latest_blocks which automatically uses long IDs

Installation

• don't initialise IPFS as root
• install ipfs-monitor
• remove pip github installation of eciespy when ready
• don't hardcode version of PyPy

Debugging

• join_blockchain seems to fail rather often

Tests:

• add docstrings to Brenthy/blockchains/Walytis_Beta/walytis_beta_api/generic_blockchain_testing.py
• auto test installation on clean OSs #phase4
• test for no ZMQ
• test inter-compatibility of different BrenthyAPI versions
• test all security functionality
• test for performance metrics
• find out scalability limits, expand and test them

Future Features

Plan roadmap for following new features.

DevOps

• for all essential tests, make them docker-only (remove role of the calling computer) #phase5
• ensure pytest compatibility of tests #phase5

Features

• Option to change properties of invitations
• WalytisAPI: complex block queries (SQL?)
• local HTTP Server for access to blocks' contents
• Brenthy CLI
• Walytis CLI
• customisable log settings
• separate Walytis' logs from Brenthy's
• WalytisAPI latest block broadcasting: measure pubsub network latency

Installation and update

• uninstall
• make Brenthy user system user with no login
• allow custom installation directory and data path
• allow individual blockchain instances to have their own data path
• test updates before installing them
• update immediately on reception as soon as no processes are running?
• after updating, systemctl shows status inactive (dead) even though Brenthy is running normally
• backup system which is not writeable by Brenthy user

User-Friendliness

• walytis_api: print message when user uses blockchain name

Security

• spam filters: disconnect from and blacklist nodes spamming on:
  • PubSub listener
  • join request listener
• forgery detection system for detecting composed lineages for achieving duplicate hashes
• blockchain types as malware against other blockchain types: blockchain types should not be able to access each others' appdata. create a user for each blockchain type?
• built-in monitoring for corrupt blocks

Code Cleanup

• remove all bare or broad exceptions #phase5
