RE: 8th update of 2024: Work on Hive apps (User Interfaces)

in HiveDevs2 months ago

I might have missed this, but have you all been able to work on the multi signature changes that are required for @vaultec and VSC. I can’t remember what those changes are called but I remember him being that up about 10-12 months ago.

Sort:  

He's asked us to support a new signature type (BLS) which allows for a more compact multisig. It's not strictly needed for VSC, IMO, although it would be helpful for VSC when creating multisigs for managing Hive assets (specifically Hive and HBD) and they definitely want it.

We haven't worked on it yet, but making changes to signature handling is the last big thing on the list of things we're hoping to add to hived in this release.

I've done work on how I want to change the signing algorithm in general, but I haven't looked much into the BLS aspect yet. The main issue is the other guy I want to work on this issue with has been tied up with another high priority task, but he should be free soon, then we'll attack the issue together.

But I'm not 100% sure yet we'll be be able to get any of the changes to signature handling into this hardfork. If not, that means we'll need to make the next hardfork sooner, so I'm still vaguely hopeful we can get it in.

I'd love to see this implemented! We are aiming to launch VSC mainnet in early 2025, so if we can get BLS support ahead of time that'll make our job much easier and the network more secure.
