The network steward of the PKT project is interested in the following topics. This list is not exhaustive and not every feature of every idea needs to be in a proposal for it to be accepted. These are just general topics which the Network Steward has an interest in seeing open source development.
In order to create a project, fork this repository, create a new file in the projects directory which is a copy of the template.md file. Then make a pull request to add your project proposal to this repository.
- Open source graphical SPV PKT wallet
- Checking the authenticity of the blockchain by verifying the PacketCrypt proofs on a configurable number of the most recent blocks and verifying only the connectedness of all earlier headers
- Ability to issue, transfer and validate colored coins
- Ability to validate a message as signed by the current holder of a given colored coin
- Ability to offer a colored coin for sale in a swap and ability to take such a swap transaction and accept it
- Future interoperability with Lightning Network
- Compatibility with Android, iOS, Linux, OSX, Windows
- Graphical, command line and library modes
- Low resource footrpint
- Cjdns using Wireguard for encryption
- Replacement of cjdns CryptoAuth protocol with Wireguard
- Detection of "new nodes" who speak Wireguard vs. "old nodes" who speak CryptoAuth
- Replacement for peering and also for end-to-end
- Cjdns kernelspace implementation
- Using Wireguard kernel module to perform encryption
- Only needs to speak Wireguard based protocol, legacy CryptoAuth is not necessary
- Maximum feasible code-reuse between kernel module and userland code
- Cjdns key rotation
- Allow changing the keypair each restart for non-server nodes
- Packet prioritization system in cjdns
- Ability to allocate virtual switches and bandwidth leases
- Ability to associate a bandwidth lease with a virtual switch
- Further thoughts in cjdns packet priority spec
- Open source high performance cjdns Route Server
- High performance language such as Rust or Elixir
- Network coordination functionality of cjdnsnode
- Ability to coordinate cjdns nodes to configure VPN tunnels
- Collection and publication of link quality data
- Gossip protocol so that other route servers can inter-operate
- Example usage of PacketCrypt announcements for pub/sub
- A simple tweet-like interface where people can send messages by mining announcements
- WebAssembly compiled version of PacketCrypt
- Static code only which interacts directly with a PacketCrypt mining pool
- Pool updates to allow subscription to different types of announcements
- Creation and maintanence of a repository of packages of mesh software
- Pakages to be easily installed in major operating systems which do not have support already such as Debian, OSX and Windows
- Packaging of meshnet software including cjdns and yggdrasil
- Cjdns wifi based interface
- Automatic peering when a compatible wireless device is in range
- Lower CPU consumption using encryption offload
- Compatibility with Android and iPhone devices
