BIP-119 Meeting Reminder and Prelim Agenda



Summary:

The first meeting for CTV will take place on Tuesday at 12:00PM PT. A preliminary agenda and time allocation has been included based on feedback. The main part of the meeting will run for 1.5 hours, followed by a 30-minute post-meeting discussion of broader next steps and consensus seeking processes. The agenda does not cover motivations or use cases for CTV in depth, but helpful links for deepening understanding on covenant properties, proposals, and varieties are included in the email. Specific applications built on CTV will be best reviewed in follow-up meetings as technical evaluation of how well CTV works for use cases requires a deep understanding of how the CTV primitive works. The meeting is tightly scheduled to respect everyone's time and ensure high productivity. There will be room for follow-ups or further exploration at future meetings or as mailing list follow-ups. The meeting topics include an overview of BIP and Q&A, implementation and testing, proposed timeline technical feasibility, feedback on how to structure bounty program, open-ended feedback, and what's required to get consensus/next steps. The subtopics under the overview of BIP and Q&A include what CTV does, which fields are in the digest, the order/structure of fields in the digest, the half-spend problem/solution, using a NOP v.s. successX/legacy script types, using sha256 v.s. Ripemd160, and general Q&A. The subtopics under implementation and testing include implementation walkthrough, validation burdens & caching, vectors: tx_valid.json + tx_invalid.json + transaction hashes checking, and functional test walkthrough. The meeting will also discuss soft signals utxos.org/signals and activation mechanisms. The agenda does not thoroughly cover alternatives to CTV. If particular topics important to attendees are not represented in this agenda, they can drop a note and endeavor will be made to ensure they are either slotted into this meeting or included in a second meeting.
