Whole call   

Hey everyone welcome to Tellor team call, dev call, whatever you want to call it September 12th. Yeah cool. Big things this week so we deployed the vote on rank b last week but then we found something that we would like to update. We redeployed and now we're going to kick off the votes starting today. Anyway, so yeah, we're making sure that we take our time and do the testing and slow it down where needed. Doesn't slow us down at all though we buffered in time for this so you know still looking end of October for Tellor 360 update. But yeah so, we'll be kicking off the vote again this week and then test vote. It's, this is on test net vote yes so we're voting on test net then we're making sure all the front ends work making sure everything goes smoothly and yeah and restarting if need be. So that's what we're doing. The other big thing this week so we're still in the middle of the eat online hackathon and I mean it's going great we're getting a you know it's one of our best hackathons so far, a lot lots of people are yeah lots of people are in the chat chatting with us building cool things asking for ideas. Yeah because I mean like we did this exact hackathon last year too so we should like go back and compare notes but I mean it's definitely way better so for some reason people maybe. Do we have a higher bounty this year?  

Mike: Maybe like a couple thousand but I mean last ETHonline we maybe had like three questions the entire month in our chat we had three questions in the first 10 minutes yeah. 

Nick: This time yeah I mean people are like asking those questions over the weekends and stuff it's nice I mean I'm in like two private chats with people so it's definitely feels better which is good yeah so yeah feeling points matter for anything. 

Brenda: There's more activity for sure. 

Nick: So yes feels like we're busy. Cool so other things we're going to be working on I want to work with Ryan maybe we can chat at the end of your call on the foundation data feed let's get those up this week and have them working so yeah we'll just start around, Akrem, how’s life? 

Akrem: Life is good I'm just working on the tip listener really because it's a lot of work to do there but I'm on the testing phase trying to figure out how to plug it into the to the to tell yet reporter because we're also not only using the catalogue feed but the mapping as well so I'm just trying to figure out what's the best way to plug it in there cool well yeah if you want to talk about it yeah I'm talking to Owen with to own a fight there so I should be able to figure it out and also the stake amount I'm posting questions on the GitHub issue instead of listening to events could we just calculate that but I don't know. I don't know how that would work that's it.  

Nick: Owen? 

Owen: Hey it's going well Friday Tally and I were working a bit coding together on redoing basically like the user experience like downloading and getting it set up. Just making it easier this morning I was working on getting an example for one of the ether online hackers they want some sports data so I'm just like making a spec for that. Doing a bit on the python side and. 

Nick: Did you see my comment on that? 

Owen: One yeah just like using a mapping basically. 

Nick: Yeah, tell them to simplify it like you don't need to store user names on for nfl players on chain. 

Owen: Yeah I'll probably just do like an array of uints yeah and then but I won't concatenate them together because that might be a little difficult for them so I'm just going to do it like player id player position player id player position. Yeah anyway so I'll like put that up on them on chain for today and then there's the other one stuff but that's basically it. 

Nick: Cool, Tim? 

Tim: Yeah I am working on live forking tests on Tellor 360. so that would be testing the actually deployed contracts on Rinkeby so yeah those are just making sure everything works in the live environment you know testing staking and submitting and basically just calling all functions. 

Nick: Before you waste too much time make sure can you get does this alchemy or somebody run an archive note for me. 

Tim: Yeah, although they might be deprecating that. 

Nick: Yeah, just check because you might be wasting time. 

Tim: Yeah, well so the alternative is also just not forking but actually just submitting real transactions which I wrote some of those last week but yeah that might be the way to go instead. 

Brenda: Well for Rinkeby definitely but like either way forking tests we can use those for maintenance yeah we made it so I think that's useful still. 

Nick: For sure cool all right and then yeah Ryan, how’s life? 

Ryan: Good I just posted the updated 360 blog so people can kind of review what exactly is going to be going through on this next update working with Ciro to get this data feed with the tipping function up and running it's he's had a little kinks but we've worked them out and now just cleaning up some code. And then yeah then just ushering the ethonline crew. 

Nick: Nice are there any events this week with them? 

Ryan: With ethonline yeah do we know probably just a couple of mentorships but not I don't think there's anything there okay yeah make sure we're there yeah yell at us. 

Tim: I see a project feedback session on Thursday. 

Nick: Okay cool. 

Tim: It's three eastern time. 

Nick: Yeah and Quentin's building something he asked if he could win that Tellor bounty.  

Mike: Also you have a your article is being published in hackernoon today so keep an eye out for that from without a protocol or from companies what was the title I don't know. You wrote it like months ago months and months ago yeah yeah. 

Tally: I removed a raised exception and tell you the feeds because it was caused because it's legal values pondered or quit out I just replaced with login and as I was mentioning whereas Owen was mentioning we're going to implement problems for it's like using your experience thing for if there's if you haven't created an account then you can create an account in the command line when you start Telliot and as well for Mike I'm revising the script for the Tellor explainer. And then also I have I might do the automatic monitor updates through GitHub actions cool and then the Tellor monitor that's it's all oh yeah Tellor monitor is all good why do I get like a thousand emails that say run failed oh that's because of the action that I wrote it may be running too frequently well.  

Nick: Why is it failing by the way? 

Tally: Oh that's the one for the automatic updates so it's Lauren wrote a script so it still doesn't work it works it's just that the automatic updates in it don't work but like if you look at it it'll be like yeah. 

Nick: I mean like I get I get like one an hour as far as like. 

Tally: Okay I'm just writing it too frequently okay yeah well and then make sure this is the piece to automatically update the graphs because before you have to write a script that Lauren wrote manually. 

Nick: Well make sure it doesn't fail make sure it gives a green arrow green arrows yeah figure it out cool like if it is working and it's just sending a failing message that's cool like just make it stop sending me feelings so awesome and then I saw you had a pull request in using Tellor. 

Tally: Oh yeah that was for I was working on that for the 360. Yeah but it was sort of hacked on here like I wanted to do for my tutorial but I have to like remember where I am on that okay if you want to add it to your list later give it a look or see if there's a bunch of conflicts now so yeah check it out. 

Nick: Spuddy? 

Spuddy: Hey everybody I'm basically just checking for tips from the hackers and making sure that someone requests some data we're importing, it and looking at the Diva the protocol stuff a little bit so that I understand it better. 

Owen: Yeah central point of failure yeah using the subgraph yeah it's like not updating like when you create pools so anyway. 

Nick: Cool all right guys let's put it Ryan any questions today or do you need anything Brenda? 

Brenda: Nope we're going to stay behind right? 

Nick: Yeah. 

Ryan: Questions wise I mean just probably because it's we got the merge coming up how will the merge affect reporting on main net? 

Nick: Hopefully not all yeah I think we'll be fine people always ask you know we get are we going to support the proof of work chain the answer is no but we're decentralized so other reporters can go report over there are there any benefits or disadvantages for Tellor regarding the merge it sounds like it's just going to be nothing's going to happen differently well the cool thing about it so the merge is a great event for seeing where teams lie on it if the merge happens and the team has to support one side or the other the project's not decentralized like just so you guys are aware of that like if the team's like we're not supporting this it's going to die that's not a decentralized project. It should be able to split and you know like theoretically Tellor could work perfectly fine on both chains. So just go around and find projects like oh like uniswap works just fine on both of them it doesn't matter which side the team's on. 

Spuddy: So yeah the only part of Tellor that's broken is the incentives are broken a little like because you're spending your time and energy to report there and the TRB is most likely not going to be well. 

Nick: But it could theoretically yes yeah yes I mean like theoretically there could be a trb on each chain that gets listed and holds value whereas like. 

Spuddy: If somebody there is if somebody on each group of work is going to keep the Uniswap pools going right yeah you know. 

Nick: But like ChainLink like they say they're not supporting it there's nothing you can do nobody's going to report over there you're stuck as a user so I think it's a super cool moment so have the power you know if we ever want to fork away from these centralized entities you need something that can live on both. 

Brenda: Anyway thank you guys anything else Ryan that's it okay perfect all right see ya thanks everybody
