The following is a weekly progress report from the HCASH development team, and is divided in two parts: ongoing and completed work.

Our GitHub code can be found here: github.com/HcashOrg

Please note: code is being uploaded to GitHub progressively; if you find that something from this document is missing from a repository, please check back periodically.

Completed work:

HyperCash/HC

Hcd

We used a recursive formula to achieve a summation formula, then used this to calculate the supply of HC, thus eliminating accumulated errors, and ensuring the correct HC block amount and difficulty.

The CHECKMULTISIG instruction supports multi-signature functionality and new BLISS addresses.

Hcwallet

Quantum resistant addresses participate in multi-signature address formalisation, transaction signatures, and transaction initiation.

Quantum resistant addressed tickets support an address reuse function to avoid continuously generating a large numbers of addresses.

Repaired decoding error in Quantum resistant addresses.

Added Quantum resistant addresses into Script merge process.

HcGUI

Overviewed real-time changes of statistical data (balance/ticket/transaction).

Corrected incorrect translation

Repaired download failure in HcGui language settings.

HcExplorer

Completed new web page design

Trimmed page content

Hc Testnet PoS Mining Pool

Completed new web page design

Trimmed page content

Hc Testnet PoW Mining Pool

Completed test together with UUPool

HyperExchange/HX

HX Wallet

Increased bonus-related functions. (Users with more than 10,000 HX will automatically receive dividends regularly, which needs to be collected by the users themselves. Dividends are derived from withdrawal fees and fees from invoking smart contracts)

HX IDE

Optimised data access for chain switching and initialisation settings for wallet free state, repaired crash problem when releasing memory.

HyperExchange

Carried out basic cross chain testing between HX chain and HC public testnet.

Users need to pay transaction fees when withdrawing cross chain assets on the HX chain, these fees will be collected in a pool. Similarly, users will have to pay transaction fees when they withdraw assets from smart contracts.

In the HX chain, for every 100,000 blocks, users who hold more than 10,000 HX will be able to participate in fee allocation activities.

Some parameters in the HX chain are hard-coded, and need to be put into ‘global_property’, allowing HX to be modified through a proposal process.

Ongoing work:

HyperCash/HC

Hcd

Regression testing for functionalities such as block generation, transactions, and block & voting queries

Hcwallet

The ‘setaccount’ command to support switching between normal and quantum resistant accounts by ‘cli’ clients.

Regression testing for functionalities such as construction, signatures and transactions on normal and quantum resistant addresses.

Test the proposal initiation functionality, including how to count affirmative, negative, and abstention votes, and that of block version upgrades after voting.

HcGUI

New interface development

Change the application settings position. The settings are only clickable while synchronising, and need to be moved into the menu on the homepage for users’ convenience.

HcExplorer

New interface development

Pg Model: use ‘postgresl’ to support greater website traffic and faster access speeds

Hc testnet PoS Mining Pool

New interface development

Support purchasing of tickets by quantum resistant signatures

HSR to HC on cryptocurrency exchanges

Prepare technical documents

Provide technical support

HSR to HC wallet upgrade process

Prepare technical documents

Provide technical support

HyperExchange/HX

HX wallet

New interface design

HX IDE

Integrate single-step Debugger

Debug interface design

HyperExchange

Program the ETH private key generation module on the HX chain: In order to ensure security, private keys needs to be generated on the HX side, and signatures for empty transactions need to be completed on the C++side of the HX chain.

Deploy the testnet.

Bugs found on HX are being fixed.

We are grateful for the immense effort made by all contributors. Each contributor and community member is vital to the technical development of HCASH.
