We at the DFINITY Foundation have been working to provide greater visibility into R&D and more opportunities for the community to provide feedback and learn how to contribute.
We are delighted to invite you to our first public Global R&D meeting happening on July 27th, 8:30 AM PT / 5:30 PM CET.
This is the first of our public R&D updates, which will occur every 4 weeks on Wednesdays.
Register here to join (webinar) live session and chat, or watch live on Youtube and/or Twitter.
^ Although I’ve never heard of “subnet rental” or “streaming sup”… what are they?
Also, I was a little surprised at how slow the BTC API calls were. Balance queries took 10 seconds and transfers took 30 seconds. Is this because they were demoing with the BTC testnet, or is that really how long it takes?
Yes, I saw the slide too, that’s what I am pointing to. @diegop just like the above slide which is the real roadmap and easy to understand. That would be cool to be able to see this and maybe update maybe weekly.
Subnet rental is the idea that one could make a proposal to form a subnet that they could use exclusively to guarantee sufficient resources for one’s dapp. Of course, such a proposal would require submission of sufficient ICP to cover the cost of the such a subnet for a sufficiently long time. Details will follow.
Is there any chance that we could do more of these? Perhaps at different times? I do not mean to be rude, I just have been trying to attend one of these, and it always lands in the middle of my work/ class day
Completely understand if it is a set session though. Please don’t change it for one person (me).
Are there plans to create more interactive sessions like these? Or perhaps plans in the future to have community meet-ups in person for live events? I really like this idea. I know with COVID it can be tough. Just please keep the idea open to consideration at the very least!
Fwiw I can share we also want this: We are still re-creating our live event /community muscles since we have not really used it much in last 2 years, but we want to see more of these too. We intend to get better at this.
That’s exciting at the very least. I’m here for a long time… I can wait a bit longer. I’m just glad this is on the “menu”. When we get to it, I think it will be fun.
