==How to participate==

Hi everybody ... so with all the changed situation, we will do an online "Lightning Hacksprint" instead of the usual "Lightning Hackday". It will be a smaller event, putting more focus on contributing to already existing Lightning Network projects. It's mostly coding, but also testing and media documentation (e.g. tutorials, moderated discussions, etc.) is very welcome.
+
If you like to get a better overview of the challenges, join the [https://youtu.be/XvPkyVIPIfY kickoff livestream]. You may also join later on.  
  
−
This Wiki was created to collect all important information around the event and for the later documentation of outcomes. Feel free to create your own project subpage.
+
Most projects listed their challenges as sprint issues on Github with the lable "hackathon". Simply comment on those that you are interested in and the project mentors should get back to you.
  
−
=== Basic Timetable ===
+
To participate please register on our [https://mm.fulmo.org Mattermost] (OpenSource Slack) and check if there is already a chat room regarding the project you are interested. In the channel "[https://mm.fulmo.org/fulmo/channels/lightning-hacksprint Lightning HackSprint]" should always be someone around to point you into the right direction if you have any further questions.

===Backup plugin for c-lightning===
 +
 
 +
Backups are a major issue in the Lightning Protocol, given that any sort of

dataloss could potentially result in loss of funds. This means that restoring
 +
an old backup of the database could result in the node broadcasting an old
 +
state, which is a cheat attempt in the protocol, which is punished.
 +
 
 +
The backup c-lightning plugin (https://github.com/lightningd/plugins/pull/97)
 +
implements the basic mechanisms to create a synchronous backup of
 +
any change to the database, and ensures that the backup stays in sync with the
 +
database. It does so in a generic way allowing to write backups to a variety
 +
of backends, but initially only implements a file-system based backup backend
 +
that is located on the same machine, but on a separate disk. Doing so already
 +
provides protection against data corruption on the primary disk. Potential
 +
future improvements could include:
 +
 
 +
* Backup to Google services. Examples include:
 +
** GDrive
 +
** Google Docs - Sheets
 +
** Google Cloud Storage
 +
* Backup to Dropbox
 +
* Send backup data to a peer using the custommsg hook
 +
* Backups to a dedicated backup server
 +
 
 +
In the case of a dedicated backup server the plugin could also manage a
 +
subscription that is used to pay for the backup service.
