Zcash Extensible Wallet Interchange Format (ZeWIF) Meeting

Hi folks, just a reminder that the meeting is this Friday at 10am PT. The Zoom link is in the initial post (Launch Meeting - Zoom).

On Friday, we’ll talk about where we are in the project so far and share some of work product (a survey of wallets and the start of a spreadsheet collating data so that we know what to extract).

Generally, we’re going to be looking for the following at the meeting:

  • What is the 20% of data that will get you 80% of the value?
  • What data might we be missing?
  • What key-value matches should be updated for the format?

Basically, we want to make sure we’re capturing the most important data in the core format, but just as importantly we want to make sure that we don’t burden the format with the technical debt of data that’s no longer or poorly used. (Everything will ultimately be stored by our library and our best practice suggestions, but we need to figure out what data is core!)

Here’s a preview of the survey that also has a link to our spreadsheet to date (there’s a few days of work still to do before we close out, but we’re closing on a standardized way to list out data and have zcashd and zecwallet contents listed out).
