This week:

• Change of plans with respect to last week's goals: the styling and theme-change options were done by Clara and Tim.
• I changed the functioning of the contact payment page. Instead of clicking on the pay button to open the pay dialog, you can now click on the contact's entire row. It is more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing.
• Merged the payment page and contacts page together since they were pretty similar → app is more compact now
• Changed the style of the search buttons

Right now, the nodes are not authentified: there is no way to know a peer is legit. Therefore, we wish to send a token along every request to give us a way to verify that the person making a request is running a genuine node. So this week, I wrote the functions generate and check in XNode/node.cpp to create and check tokens sent and received from a specific peer. I used JSON Web Tokens (JWT) as it is a common method, and for this I used the library jwt-cpp, as it is quite hard and takes a lot of time for a beginner to implement from scratch.

I also ran Cppcheck across all the project folders to check the validity of our files’ code, and contacted my collegues who wrote code where there were issues, so that they could make corrections.

Next week I will try to integrate the tokens into gRPC, which is a specialised protocol used by nodes on the XCoin network to communicate.

@Lio

This week:

• Implemented a struct called XNodeSettings that contain all the Node's settings.
• created a function loadNodeSettings()
• created a function newSettings

Next week:

• Should finish the implementation during the holidays

@Youssef Chaabouni

This week:

• Fixed some errors with the wallet file

@Clara

This week, I worked on the styling and theme-change options (we implemented a “light mode”). In particular, I worked on the design and aesthetic of the contacts page, that is now merged with the payment page. I also worked on the “Balance page”.

@Kevin Messali

This week:

I fixed with @Cyrus Pellet some issues we were facing with the blockchain sync and the UI. We merged the frontend branch into the master and provided the fixes needed. We added QT libraries in our CMake so we can run the whole project at once. We also continued working on the interface of the network part with the UI. I also provided help for the UI team and helped creating the Tricount class for @Picha.

Next week:

I will continuing working on the interface with the network part and the UI and fixing the issues.
