ToDo.md

Core

• Make walytis_beta_api capable of fully verifying a blockchain from block data files, so that the role of Walytis Core is only creating and sharing blocks.
• Join Blockchain timeout when no data has been received during file transmission
• Remove block_records block index? Make more efficient?
• clean up threads from failed join requests
• Walytis.get_blockchain_data: tests & documentation
• auto tests for scaling - 1000 blocks ⏫
• find out how block with 0 parents can be created
• survive IPFS daemon restarts
• Joining: replace delay with transmission retry (see TODO comment, probably fix in ipfs_tk)
• walytis_beta_embedded: check if double-import of ipfs node in .walytis_beta_tools & walytis_beta_tools is a problem

API

• GenericBlockchain: add abstract method set_block_received_handler?
• check on efficiency of walytis_api.Blockchain._load_missed_blocks amount parameter
• proper error message when IPFS is turned off
• Blockchain only remembers if user's block handler processed the block if update_blockids_before_handling == False
• Blockchain: replace auto_load_missed_blocks with auto_start_block_handling
• add replacement for get_latest_blocks which automatically uses long IDs
• deprecate get_and_read_block & read_block
• walytis_beta_api.walytis_beta_generic_interface: create tempdir in appdata
• finish implementation of walytis_beta_embedded (missing functions such as read_block)
• move value checking and blockchain existence checking logic from walytis_beta_embedded_api & walytis_beta_brethy_api to walytis_beta_generic_interface
• fix environment variables for Walytis & IPFS-Toolkit and make a stable feature

Tests

• test all security functionality
• test for performance metrics
• find out scalability limits, expand and test them
• for all essential tests, make them docker-only (remove role of the calling computer) #phase5

Security

• blacklist/whitelisting options in API
• spam filters: disconnect from and blacklist nodes spamming on:
  • PubSub listener
  • join request listener
• forgery detection system for detecting composed lineages for achieving duplicate hashes

Docs

• make structure of API-reference more helpful
  • then link to the API-reference in pyproject.toml and other places
