@LostInTranslation thx for starting this topic. You have created a pretty comprehensive list, so it’s a bit hard to add anything. Also, I think I would have different thoughts on the matter on different days, depending on my area of focus, etc.
I think that from my perspective right now, fundamentally the most important thing is to make the software and network rock solid. From that foundation, everything else can build organically when the time is right. Trying to force adoption too early can actually be a mis-step, as I think we have recently witnessed. If the software is not yet ready for “the masses” but it is marketed to them, they will predictably be disappointed in terms of user-friendliness, speed, exchange availability, etc.
So then, how can the community help make the software rock solid?
- run full nodes. the more nodes the better.
- run a bootstrap node
- experiment making payments.
- build things with the RPC apis.
- learn about triton-vm, tasm, etc. experiment with that tech.
- report bugs and pain points to github.
- stress test the network – with the testnet first. ie, how many transactions per second can it actually handle? What happens as we approach that limit? Does mempool begin filling up, do higher fee tx still get processed? Do tx proof get upgraded reliably in high load situation?
- ask questions here on talk.neptune.cash.
- support eachother. answer questions, make tutorials, youtube vidoes, etc.
- extra credit: make an open source GPU miner.
With regards to the neptune-proton wallet I’ve been working on:
- Please try the animated QR code feature to send a payment. That is experimental, and I’d like to hear how well it works for you (or not).
- happy to hear any feedback about what you’d like to see in the neptune-proton wallet.
Beyond that, I think it is worthwhile to share information about NeptuneCash with people who are already interested in privacy coins and tech, that would actually understand what makes it unique and important.
