# MobyMask meet with Dan ## Public, Laconic hosted * On behalf of Cerc, 20c is hosting a running instance of the `mainnet-watcher` branch on the device *warren* at https://mobymask.vdb.to/graphql * This endpoint is meant for light use, development, and demonstration; it will not scale with the application. The current capacity is **TBD** * The endpoint works in conjunction with the changes in https://github.com/danfinlay/MobyMask/pull/3 ## Public, MobyMask hosted * MobyMask replicates the setup above, hosting their own endpoint. ## Self-hosting, Locally hosted * Run the `mainnet` branch * Requires a leveldb from a snap-synced geth instance. ## Demo, Locally hosted * Run the `main` branch * Follow directions in `demo/README.md` ## Todo - [ ] Dan should merge pull #3 - [ ] Deepstack should merge these branches, so that different hosting options are directories rather than branches. https://github.com/vulcanize/mobymask-watcher/issues/17 ## Points to Raise - [x] When discussing redeploying, clarify that this is a new contract on Ethereum, re: https://laconicnetwork.slack.com/archives/C03N7HM9S80/p1658849556782679?thread_ts=1658843981.054929&cid=C03N7HM9S80 >Wow, this is exciting. I’m starting to think that since V1 doesn’t have the counterfactual caching, maybe I should re-deploy to a cheaper chain so our contributors are more likely to report. Would it be easy to re-deploy for a new contract instance? - Meant a chain other than mainnet Ethereum, specifically mentioned Polygon, maybe testnets - Watcher can pull state from multiple contracts, multiple chains - [x] Generate more data to test against - Can talk to fishfort, use extant lists, need to prime the pump. - [x] Next steps/Additional features: - Release 1: Efficient caching of the on-chain registry (DONE) - Release 2: Start exploring the counterfactual caching & gossiping - `getslice` implementation. ## References * https://github.com/vulcanize/watcher-ts/issues/127 * https://github.com/LaconicNetwork/laconic-discussions/issues/34 # Notes Intros Dan (english major, built metamask): people are getting phished and we want to put a stop to it. Most contracts are not built with granular permissions, leading everyone to give all permissions. Rick: we can implement mustakala (sp?) - getslice (Ian can implement in a week) Dan: Walletguard would be likely to host. Some priorities for Dan: * Cheaper chain (really cheaper costs) * Easy self-hosting * Counterfactuals (in the future) Rick: There is a tension between cheaper chains and self hosting (the fees are cheaper, but the self hosting is more expensive). Erik: We discuss polygon, but I believe we land on sticking with Ethereum mainnet for the contract. Scaling - The watcher itself provides all the blocks. Dan describes loading all the tx on a personal fork version of the chain (ganache), that locally should be a representation of the phisher registry. Rick counters that this is what we store in the watcher, and you would set up counterfactuals as a graphql query. Dan: do we reprocess the claims? Some branch of our state doesn't match the mainnet, but there is a way to keep the parallel states in memory and work through them. Rick: on chain isphisher and ismember, queryable through graphql. Watcher recieves p2p that an entity is engaged in phishing. We probably want 3 watchers: * A watcher watching mainnet * Another watching p2p gossip * A third merging the two Dan: if the counterfactual side works well, we could mitigate our pushes to mainnet and keep costs down. Marketing Contact: Dan will bring in to the laconic-metamask chat. Laconic is discussed at length. Rick - are you still talking to Robert Drost? He was interested in our product early on. Dan - yes, still good relationship. FAR FUTURE WORK https://roamresearch.com/#/app/capabul/page/ljg2ydd_T ## Next Steps - [ ] Dan will put PR people in the `laconic-metamask` slack channel - [ ] Also will add Walletguard to the channel - [ ] Also will add Robert Drost to the channel - [ ] Dan will merge PR and give code a spin - [ ] We will clean up the branches and provide support
