[ZcF-general] Grant project progress report: platform for zcash blockchain analysis

[Radosław Michalski]

Dear All,

In this e-mail we would like to update you on the progress of the tool
for zcash blockchain analysis platform (GrantProposals-2018Q2, grant
proposal #39).

Since last report (sent on 2018-12-24):
- we added a messaging system for accepting and routing API calls
- we did configure the SMTP infrastructure for (optional) emails about
finished computation tasks
- we did work with the code in order to make it easier to run the
environment without manual configuration

The backend code is fully operational now, i.e., you can import the
whole zcash blockchain into the database and API interface is ready to
accept the calls. Yet the actual work on the API endpoints for
researchers is about to start.

Just a reminder where to look for the project code:

Greetings,
Radoslaw Michalski & team
