Development Meeting Summary
Date: February 25, 2025
L1 Explorer Development
Stalker (Unforkable) detailed challenges with L1 explorer development, comparing Polkascan vs Subscan options. The team needs to balance feature richness with customization requirements for temporal data display.
Production vs Testnet Strategy
Discussion on whether to run separate production and testnet environments or use a unified approach. The team leaned toward separate environments for stability.
Hardware Requirements
Defined hardware requirements for node operators: Pi 5 + 1TB M.2 SSD as minimum specification. This balances cost accessibility with performance needs for the timing network.
Hydra Edge Device Integration
Conceptual discussion on integrating Hydra edge devices with the timing network. These devices could serve as entry points for distributed compute while maintaining timing synchronization.
Cloud Provider Research
Research into Stormy Cloud as an alternative hosting provider at 1/4 cost of AWS. Cost reduction in infrastructure is critical for network sustainability.
