Sorry, a little bit late but here are this week’s updates from the development team 🙂

**Last week’s progress:**

- Implemented orchestrator price validation to determine whether an expected price indicated by a broadcaster is acceptable
- Implemented broadcaster validation for prices updated mid-stream with an orchestrator
- Added support for orchestrator price updates via the CLI
- Prepared for internal test network deployment for e2e micropayment testing

- More benchmarking for the single O[rchestrator] based on the latest round of fixes (same as last week)
- Identified a few more bottlenecks for multi-GPU setups (same as last week)
- Improved load balancing for orchestrators with multiple attached transcoders ( **see the attached screenshot** )
- Started testing the Wowza plugin
- The 3Box integration also made a lot of progress. You can follow it in more detail here: [https://github.com/Livepeer-Community-Node/Grant-Program/issues/17#issuecomment-513976291](https://github.com/Livepeer-Community-Node/Grant-Program/issues/17#issuecomment-513976291)

**This week’s priorities:**

- Wrap up payment accounting features from last week - looking to merge open PRs after some follow up review
- Add payment metrics reporting for nodes
- Deploy an internal test network to kick off the first round of e2e micropayment testing with automated dummy transaction submission to simulate gas price fluctuations

- Pixel accounting within the transcoder
- More reliability testing - evaluating scalability with two orchestrators on the network
- Broadcaster to acquire list of orchestrators via webhook
- Task breakdown and planning for supporting external GPUs within our internal test network
- Continue implementing fix for GPU performance bottleneck with task breakdown in-hand
- Wowza plugin: More testing, development of an installer and finishing the last few features (specifically stream re-integration) before starting a proper release cycle in the #builds channel on discord

Results of the improved load balancing:
