The FCMP alpha stressnet discussion highlighted progress on version 1.4 with fixes for high memory usage and other bugs, identification of three blocking issues (OOM errors, transaction pool clearing, and wallet double spends), and plans to resolve them soon before advancing to

The brief discussion on mining pool centralization focused on fixing a DNS checkpoints bug with calls for a reproducible sequence or unit test to aid debugging. DataHoarder: maybe spend some developer time between alpha and beta stressnet fixing the bug within that core function

The MRL discussion on transaction volume scaling parameters post-FCMP hard fork had rough consensus on transaction weights roughly equaling byte size, but debates on block size limits, surge factors, growth rates, and fee mechanisms to prevent spam while avoiding adoption

Review of proposed scaling changes post-FCMP by Articmine, including capping blocks at 16x the long-term median, linear weight calculations based on inputs, optional adjustments for verification time jumps, and flat fees close to current levels: jberman: I opened a PR to set

The discussion explored options to reduce consolidation fees and blockchain bloat for P2Pool miners under FCMP++, including long-term sidechain state for minimum payouts, miner-initiated sweeps in their blocks, and potential griefing risks, but concluded that long-term state

Updates on FCMP++ stressnet included PRs for OOM mitigations, RAM reductions through optimizations (from 1.2GB to 266MB in experiments, though with trade-offs), ongoing testing on low-RAM systems, and plans for beta after settling scaling: - PRs submitted for OOM mitigations and

The Monero Research Lab has provided an update on Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++)!
