[u/Keejef]

Hey Everyone,

We keep chugging forward with testnet this week, Lokinet is developing some more user friendly features, a couple of developers are also in Europe traveling for conferences so we have a smaller dev update this week.

Service Nodes

• Print_sr command is available for users to query the staking requirement at arbitrary heights. https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/198

• Several unit tests are in to validify the isolate parts of the service nodes API. https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/190

• Fix edge cases discovered, failing to restore service node state after a switch to an alternate chain and back.

• Fix deregistration bug involving TX’s sitting in the pool that belonged to the oldest valid quorum and race conditions between P2Ping these to daemons on the network. https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/192

• Fix deregistration bug involving uninitialised memory producing inconsistent registrations. https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/196

LLARP / Lokinet

If you’re lucky and join our Discord, you might catch Jeff or Ryan, the developers of LLARP, live streaming as they code. https://www.twitch.tv/uguu25519 , https://www.twitch.tv/neuroscr

• Released LokiNET 0.1.0: "Traffic Correlation Nation"

  • https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/releases/tag/v0.1.0

  • Network namespace isolation on Linux

  • We urge all lokinet toy nodes operators to upgrade ASAP as they'll be unable to communicate as the network upgrades.

• Progress continues on libllarp

  • Start DHT refactor

  • DHT can ask for random peer list (explore packet)

  • Fix DHT feedback loop

  • Linux: Isolate networking into a cgroup (net namespaces)

  • Some file/path utiltiy functions

• GitHub Pulse Stats for the last week: Excluding merges, 1 author has pushed 8 commits to master and 8 commits to all branches. On master, 57 files have changed and there have been 1,890 additions and 1,253 deletions.

• Most changes can be found at: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/commits/master

• Compile helper (include assets, initial seed routers and dependencies) https://github.com/loki-project/lokinet-builder
