The scope of this issue tracks the progress for the overall feature of cmempoold :

• Implementing the structs for the native data structures of braidpool such as braid and bead etc . (delivered in the PR Updating the definitions for structs  #123 ) PR Add json tests for braid::extend() #227 .
• Adding test_framework for test coverage from start itself (delivered in the PR Implement encodable trait for Bead structure #162 ) , rpc implementation PR This is updated RPC implementation according to the new structure we had decided  #224 .
• Serializability and deserializability of the braid data structures (delivered in the PR Implement encodable trait for Bead structure #162 ).
• Updating the consensus functions for existing in the Braidpool example.ipynb .
• Integration of the primitive braidpool p2p functionalities
  • intialized-braidpool including the initialization of the braid-node , cmempoold proxy and bitcoind PR bead_sync protocol #214 feat:Kademlia support , Braidpool Configuration set up and DNS service .  #206 chore:Resolving merge conflicts upto dev from the feat/consensus_functions for merging . #202 ping behaviour #201 .
  • [x ] cmempoold using the bitcoin mempool using our custom mempool PR feat: Add IPC implementation to fetch block template and notifications #213 , feature: Add Bitcoin IPC schema and implementation #191 PR Merging ipc feature into dev #229 .
  • tokio-tracing for better tracing libp2p bootstrap #187 .
• Bead construction Updating the consensus functions according to new struct definitions  #160 .
• Bead propagation and validation via SV2 mining protocol., though there was slight change as we opted for stratum v1 initially afterwards accompanying the stratum v2 primitive protocols for integration to be done along exisiting braid downstream channel such as the mining_protocol and binary_sv2 for reduced latency and secured channel.
• Conversion of valid bead to mainnet block via PR Implementation of downstream connection with braidpool via stratum #237 .
• Submission of suitable values of version,extranonce and nonce by the ASICs for bead construction via PR Implementation of downstream connection with braidpool via stratum #237 .
• Bead accumulation for the formulation of a Braid. Addressed and merged in PR Replace beadhash with beads and indices #207 .
• PPLNS or UHPO payment settlement etc along with Eltoo and Schnorr signature supporting multi-sig payout authentication mechanism.
• Complete IPC functionality and additional cmempoold functionality to be merged via PR Merging ipc feature into dev #229 .
• Stratum implementation for downstream connection completing the communication loop between the IPC and the downstream via PR Implementation of downstream connection with braidpool via stratum #237 .
• Bead propagation over to peers via PR Forwarding shares to peers #257 .
• DB implementation for disk persistence see issue Persistent state via SQlite based DB implementation #262 PR Inital DB structure #265 .
• CPUnet integration and testing for both mining and propagation .
• IBD implementation - PR Added support for IBD  #240 .
• Handling segwit coinbase for appropriate handling by the downstream nodes tested both over bitaxe and cpuminer tested valid submissions,mining and propagation over regtest, signet and cpunet respectively. - PR Support for segwit coinbase #256 .

• Removing ibd_manager and moving functionality to peer_manager -> Orphan bead handling wrt DB  #309 .
• PPLNS payout implementation and it will further be extended to other payout alternatives also somehow inculcating 1-of-N authorization approach using BitVM or FROST , via PR Payout implementation #332 .
