### Work from Week 5

- Confirmed Danny Scott & CoinCorner team as Windows senior dev support for outreach
- Tested basics of bitcoin core install through powershell locally

### Next Steps

#### Bitcoin Standup for Windows

- Draft my understanding of project implementation steps and confirm with Christopher
- Figure out why CLA commit didn't sign properly/retool workflow as needed
- Draft and submit reconfigured timeline due to delays in getting started coding

#### Blockchain Commons Community 

- Draft proposal to Christopher and get permission to progress in more "team scrum master" capacity
- Build out docs (at least 5 new major upgrades in coming weeks)

### Learnings

- Unsurprisingly: do not think Windows environment tooling will behave as it says it will, and when it malfunctions, do not expect consistent docs to be accessible :-/ (very glad to have confirmed senior dev support!)

## @jodobear 

### Work Completed

1. Finished implementing c-lightning & lnd on standup scripts. The c-lightning setup needs to be tested on a fully synched node.
2. Researched implementations for BTCPay Server, Esplora & HWI with script templates ready to be implemented.

### Total Hours Worked

30 hours

### Assistance Requested

1. Tesing the c-lightning setup on an already synched node.

### Issues

Since i started workingon c-lightning, i was stuck with the errors as mentioned in the previous reports. Turns out i was doing everything right and the error was misleading as `lightning-cli` is inaccessible until bitcoind is fully synced. I pretty much wasted like 2 weeks of work trying to resolve this. I got my issue resolved when I posted my problem on c-lightning gh issues & bitcoin stack exchange.

### Learnings

Reach out to the community after trying 3 solutions that didn't work, don't wait for the 30th.

### Next Steps

1. For my Milestone 1 i need to implement BTCPay Server, HWI & Esplora. I would like to start focusing more on the LBTCftCLI course from now on while implementing the remaining scripts.

### Summary of Work Done
* Completed basic level development work of Spotbit
* 22 commits pushed to the development branch and development-celery branch
* Completed installer bash script for configuring a user's debian-based system for Spotbit use. 
* Successfully tested Spotbit via a hidden service running on a raspberry pi 3 (raspbian-buster lite).
* Added one new API route that shows the contents of the config file over the web. I originally intended to use a web form to update settings on the fly, but I have since realized that this is not secure and not a great idea. 
* Updated documentation branch to reflect latest changes.

### Milestone Approval Requests
I have completed milestone 2 as defined in my work order. All API routes are complete, the database is properly managed and all helper functions have been implemented. Spotbit has also been tested by at least one other person (Christopher) while running via hidden service.
