09:00:45 vtnerd: I believe you expressed interest in msgpack for a future RPC? May I ask why over CBOR, which seems better suited? IETF standardization + conversion to/from JSON (as epee already targets a single struct definition yet representation in JSON or binary). The oddity of CBOR's extensions stands out to me, yet msgpack has similar complexity. 09:04:20 *not to nit, anything entirely specified with multiple implementations will presumably be better than epee. Feel free to kick me to an issue which discusses this if there already is one. 19:25:55 Msgpack is a simpler than cbor, it doesn't have indefinite arrays for instance. This helps with discarding invalid data quicker, the parser can check min element size vs input remaining. I'm also unaware of anything in cbor that helps with monero data. The perf and implementations are similar, although msgpack may edge out in reading since all arrays must be sized 19:28:05 Realistically we could support both easily, the only impact being exe size. Both old and new formats can read/write using one base type so the expanded code size is kept to a minimum 19:29:05 I don't personally care re: indefinite due to inherently writing my APIs as streams 😅 Heard on simplicity, which I'd have to check in person, although I'm not sure how that compares to the benefit of CBOR standardization. 19:29:30 I wouldn't advocate for supporting both due to the maintenance burden, as seen not only within Monero yet how any alt servers will also have to match functionality 19:30:07 afaik the json parser have caused virtually no maintenance burden 21:27:12 Hi! Idk if this is the right place to get help but I am currently trying to download the most recent version of monero on windows 10 and for some reason each time the download finishes it just says "Failed to download" in my browser downloads. Can only download older versions for whatever reason just thought I could ask for help thanks! :p 21:37:49 I wish I could tell you 21:37:49 But alas, the room name for me just says “kinghat and 1098 others”, so I don’t know 21:37:51 My guess is that this is the community workgroup chat, which would mean no 21:38:25 Yeah no I figured so I just copied and pasted the text to the actual support chat I just found, thank u tho 22:03:16 This is #monero-dev 22:03:44 to fix the room name, leave and rejoin [@preland:monero.social](https://matrix.to/#/@preland:monero.social) 22:04:19 It’s always the one room I’ve forgotten exists lol
