   - [Show pending transactions](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/1834)
     - Outgoing transactions are easy
     - Incoming transactions inside Status ecosystem are pretty easy
     - Incoming transactions outside Status are hard
       - Infra seems to be too expensive, still pending will pursue this less vigorously
       - I've made a feature request to Infura
       - Stimbus / Nimbus desktop implementation could solve some of this
     - **Expand the use case for both contract cases**
       - Such as incoming ERC-20 and NFT tokens
       - https://github.com/status-im/contract-notifier

## Pulls

- [x] [#1990 - Feature/key compression](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/1990) - `draft`, `commits`
   - I had a lot of problems with `vendor make`
     - I needed to install `goware/modvendor` directly, `modvendor-install` was failing
   - Package unit testing caused a lot of problems because C libs were/are throwing errors.
     - For details [see here](attachments/2020-06/2020-06-09_unit-test-error-log.txt)
   - The linter is capricious and likely evil, I spent too much time trying to appease it
     - The linter seems to want every non-native package to be listed separately grouped by repo
