# EPF Cohort 5 - Week 9 Date: 11/08/2024 ### Updates This week was little underproductive. 1. Researched a little on `shadow` for simulation and metrics. 2. Pop pointed out a few issues with the rated list initial spec. Like the endless recursion for scoring peers on the network. [There were other issues that needed to be straightened out.](https://hackmd.io/@Ashelyyan/rkZ5cK8FC) 3. Learnt the Nim programming langugage and revisited consensus specs since we had to wait on teammates to deliver the corrections on initial spec. 4. We refactored the code for the time being. > You can find the code [here](https://github.com/hopinheimer/rated-list-research) ### Next Steps 1. Help with the initial draft of the spec instead of aimlessly waiting around. 2. If the spec is partially complete or implementing atleast a base module we will implement that too for the coming week.
