[Mikerah]

Can we have a discussion about validator privacy? There's been some discussions about it in the p2p repository and a paper was recently published about validator security in proof of stake protocols.

[prestonvanloon]

+1 to validator privacy and any further thoughts validator client roles.

We’re putting together a formal proposal for validator client design, but it won’t be ready before this call.

📢 Open call for participation 📢

The libp2p project has embarked on the important endeavour of defining a roadmap for 2019 and beyond. I'd like to invite this group to contribute throughout this process. This is an open and collaborative effort!

Currently we are in the brainstorming phase and this document reads much like a feature wishlist at this point.

Feel free to comment +1 on what’s important/urgent to you, point out your priorities and dependencies, provide insight to expand or elaborate the points therein, and propose new tasks and initiatives the community should engage on.

P.S.: I already tried to capture the items we discussed with many of you in Prague, please point out if something's missing!

[Swader]

Can we also discuss Beacon node incentives? ethereum/consensus-specs#157

[Mikerah]

Can we also renegotiate a time for these calls? Due to daylight savings, the meetings are now at 9 am EST (for me). I'm not sure if this is an issue for others but I thought we could take 2 mins to address this.

[terencechain]

It's 6 am for folks in PST 😴Would be nice to push it back an hour 😉

[paulhauner]

It's 1am for us. You guys have it easy!

I've always avoided bringing this up as I'm not sure an optimal time exists. Happy to provide input if someone wants to do a vote.
