@qogekun and I discussed the test infrastructure we will use to test the new signature scheme.
We will containerize the Qogecoin core and then use Kubernetes manifests to start multiple full nodes in a local Kubernetes cluster. This should be easy because we do not need to think about ingresses, load balancers etc. We only need it to run locally for testing.
Then we can test how different signature schemes change the communication (and transaction) speeds and stability of the network.
If things work as we expect we may be able to use "classic" cloud monitoring tools (e.g. Kiali) via service meshes (e.g. Istio) to investigate traffic properties when using different signature schemes.
Essentially we want to be able to start a complete local Qogecoin testnet with one click.
Since Qogecoin uses almost the same codebase as Bitcoin, Litecoin etc this approach should also work with minimal adjustments to create e.g. local Bitcoin testnets.
As soon as this works with full nodes we can start looking into lightning nodes. Ideally we want to have a "one click lightning node" deployment for existing kubernetes apps such as online stores.
So in short: We will have soon the Qogecoin testnet. But the testnet will be a local Kubernetes cluster.
besides, there was a team meeting:
