In this live stream we work on the RsNano project - a code fork of the original nano cryptocurrency node. We move small parts of the C++ code base to Rust while the node should be runnable at all times. I focus on test-driven-development (TDD) and refactoring to clean up the code.

I stream every last Tuesday of the month from 19:00 to 21:00 UTC.
