# [ARCHIVED] Notes May 2020

# Research Projects
* Ethereum + IPFS projects
    * 3Box
    * TheGraph
    * 

## w/c 21-May-2020
* 

## w/c 18-May-2020
* **Main focus: Research**
    * What are the components we want to build? Demo roadmap: why are we building what we're building? See [Ben's slide deck](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1HgMGbzljtGHaHIWuzQrMAU84bXrzGG_Y0UJx0_k9fZs/edit#slide=id.g85745e0c87_0_0)
    * What's being built now?
    * What could we build that's useful? Check statusx
    * Fully decentralised computation _requires_
        * Co-ordination/Orchestration of resources
        * Co-ordinating pointers to IPFS (contracts, multiple nodes executing the same thing, consensus on result(s))
        * [Databus definition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Databus)
* **Lesser focus:** Refined version of presentation deck (that incorporates feedback from Jason/Renee from last week)
    * See stand-up notes from 14/15-May
    * "Competitive Landscape" deep dive
    * What other projects have existed? What is/was their story?
* Planing for outreach conversations with TheGraph, Infura, Ocean, Audius?
    * Plus informal conversations (Ben)
    * Tweet "Calling all devs! ..."
* Make progress on building 
    * Components

## To be scheduled

* Channels: discord, github, Twitter, etc.
* Website plus tagline

# Stand-up Notes

## 19-May-2020
present: kevin, simona, ben

### Applications
Big data analysis, complex simulations, CGI rendering, machine learning and neural network training, AR/VR world building, and biosystems modeling are some potential areas where this type of computing gets useful.

- start dev-interviews: (Ben+Simona)
    - "How do you use Ethereum+IPFS in your project?"
    - "What hurdles did you need to overcome?"
    - Twitter copy: Calling all devs! Are you building on Ethereum + IPFS? I would love to know what the main hurdles you’re facing are. Is it speed? Is it complex dev work (Ben - fill in realistic stuff here)? I am really curious to understand the pain points. Here’s one of mine: @benjaminbollen 
- talk to TheGraph, Infura, Ocean
    - requires: mini-outline external directional doc
- ~~read-write + “internal” processing as Mosaic “extension”~~
- Competive Landscape
    - Understand existing architectures better
    - what's our unique insight
- dev updates:
    - ring-write-logs extending single-writer-logs
    - mosaic node doc https://hackmd.io/iHTAtIvmTuuP6KvWIS4MyQ?both

Dev-interviews

talk to TheGraph, Infura, Ocean
read-write + “internal” processing as Mosaic “extension”

## 14-May-2020
present: pro, kevin, simona, jason, renee, ben

* ~~Simplify title~~
* Improve Problem Statement plus incorporate the ‘Landscape’ $ slide
* Competitive Landscape
    * ~~Split in two: Marketplaces vs Runtime/OS~~
    * Ethereum, IPFS
    * Add Infura, TheGraph, Textile
    * Illustrate other and our architecture -- chocolate & peanut butter!
* Applications → change to Use Cases. 
    * Have 3-4 max, What, ~~Why~~, How
    * Focus on today’s needs vs future needs
    * Which developers need this today and how does it help them? (Infura + the graph: no execution layer, just interfaces to get data
    * Reach out to Audius

## 13-May-2020 - Potential Applications
* Contact Tracing
* Smart Contract Wallet (L1, BTC…)
* Account Recovery (Social Recovery + 6-digit PIN)
* Contacts Chat App
* Music / Audius
* *GoogleDrive
* Maps (traffic, route-finding)
* Github on rings
* InterPlanetary Docker Registry (aka Docker Hub) on rings
* Pepo / Decrypt / Tolkin.me / other Ost projects
