Video 3:50

ECH website -

  • Website has been down since hosting service provider's planned maintenance on Feb 3.
  • Pooja is following up with the service provider and exploring other hosting options (e.g. GitHub). Currently seeking greater community ownership.
  • William provided overview of other potential hosting alternatives.

ECH Engineering -

  • A number of EIPBot bugs and feature requests need attention. Contact Alita Moore if interested in helping.
  • George: Learn2Earn content is being finalized for direct sharing (email, Discord, etc). Dapp development is kicking off with repository and tasks being set up for open source, community development. Initial documentation has been made in the repo for review. Currently, participation will be tracked using POAPs with onchain / smart contract support being discussed for a later phase. Project Board available for those interested in following / contributing.

Cat Blazers - ECH Podcast - William

  • Published 2 episodes so far in February - Rotki App with Lefteris Karapetsas and Nodes as a Service with Alchemy.
  • No podcast planned for this week given limited availablity because of ETHDenver. Planning to resume next week with a new podcast every 1-2 weeks.
  • Started migration of ECH to Mirror with first publication. Pooja and William discussed the plan moving forward to get all content available via Mirror.
  • ECH ENS names (EthereumCatHerders.eth and ETHCatHerders.eth) have recently expired. William has purchased those names (along with ECH.ETH which is more expensive given it is only 3 characters) to prevent losing them to external parties. William is waiting for confirmation on the appropriate location to transfer the names. He is requesting gas reimbursement and will raise this in Discord (this is not a pre-requisite of transferring the names back to ECH).
  • Pooja and William discussed other uses for the ENS domain - e.g. moving ECH website to the parimary ENS domain. More research on use cases is required.
  • Brent is working on setting up email address for the podcast on the main ECH webdomain (replacing current Gmail address).
  • William and Pooja discussed whether ECH should maintain multiple wallets (e.g. main one with limited access and one for Mirror posting with broader access). No decision / action at this time, but left for consideration by the members at a future time.
