This marks my 8th update on my current progress.

I am working with the SQLite implementation of the write-ahead log, written in C, as a part of my solution.

I've encountered several bottlenecks along the way. Initially, I faced challenges in acquiring the required 32 Goerli ETH because I wanted to run a goerli validator, and then I had some difficulties working effectively with the #cheap-goerli-eth. Additionally, I've found myself dealing with a multitude of new concepts simultaneously. While this journey has been a delightful learning experience thanks to the fellowship, I'm also mindful of my looming deadline.

Transitioning from Go to Nim has been an interesting shift for me. Nim, though relatively simple to read, presents a rich set of features, making it somewhat like entering a foreign land compared to the simplicity of Go. Nevertheless, I appreciate the opportunity to explore these features as they've deepened my understanding of programming.

Furthermore, I'm relatively new to the world of databases and consensus systems, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the learning curve that comes with them. It's been inspiring to witness active communication within the community, especially from individuals who have achieved significant accomplishments using Nim. It's indeed a wonderful environment to be a part of, and I truly cherish my passion for programming.

As for when I'll complete my tasks, I anticipate wrapping things up in less than two weeks. While it has taken some time to overcome the current challenges, I believe many of these bottlenecks will be less of an issue in the upcoming tasks.
