@Souptacular I would like to bring up EIP 2481 which makes some modifications to the networking protocol moving us from the current eth/65 to the proposed eth/66. Trinity has a pending PR for this implemented and @karalabe has signaled that they are planning to implement it for Geth as well. He has motivated me to bring it up in the next call to get broader attention on it.

[RatanRSur]

@Souptacular your efforts to enumerate exactly what will be discussed and create links to them are appreciated! I brought this up a couple of meetings ago and I noticed how quickly you implemented it, which is super helpful for those of us who are new. Thank you.

I've tried to help OpenEthereum team with integration, draft PR for EIP 2537 is now open.

Call 86 notes and action items. #171

EIP-2315

[shamatar]

Simple script to fuzz Rust and Go implementations of EIP 2537 is available here. Go implementation is pulled from the repo that lags a little against the recent PR into Geth and has a known divergence in Fp2 -> G2 function (already resolved in the PR update). Onur will update the Go repo in next few days, and if not - I'll update Go bindings to take the code from the PR repo.

[MadeofTin]

Tracker for Berlin EIPs. Will go over it on the call. I would also like to propose Testnet and mainnet dates for Berlin. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BomvS0hjc88eTfx1b8Ufa6KYS3vMEb2c8TQ5HJWx2lc/edit?ts=5ebe9851&pli=1#gid=0

Closing in favor of #172.
