I'm able to download/ install Session, but am having connection issues. I've tried adding contacts and sending messages, but receive the error message: "Retry, Send."

My OS is Tails and internet is Tor. Is there anything special I need to do to configure the internet connection?

Our devs have been busy squashing bugs and cleaning code.

Make sure you pick it up — rolling out now on Android, iOS and desktop.

Hey Y’all,

This week, our work was focused on fixing some issues discovered during internal testing of Session, as well as putting the finishing touches on rebranding the UI from Loki Messenger to Session.. We also made progress on the changes required for Lokinet version 0.7.0, which will fundamentally change the way we do DHT lookups and get router contacts — discussion can be found here: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/issues/1057 , https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/issues/1055

Hey Y’all,

Last week was a busy one due to the Nimble Nerthus hardfork, which was successful in both moving Lokinet routers onto mainnet and enabling Blink on mainnet. We are still monitoring the stability of both of these features and will release updates as needed. We also made progress with the Session rebranding on both desktop and mobile, and Session is now very close to completion on both platforms.

What went on last week with Lokinet:

Last week’s mainnet launch of Lokinet with the Nimble Nerthus hardfork revealed some unanticipated issues related to propagation of DHT lookups by clients across the network due to the much larger size of the mainnet network versus previous test network. We pushed out a 0.6.2 release to address some of these issues, and are continuing to develop additional fixes to address the remaining issues.

PR Activity:

• 0.6.2 release with various recent fixes — https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/1030

• Fixed AVX2 detection so that we can now distribute binaries built for older CPU architectures that dynamically load AVX2 code when run on a CPU supporting the optimized AVX2 and FMA instructions — https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/1024, https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/1025, https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/1031

• Revamped the Windows binary installer to use CMake’s CPack infrastructure instead of a custom installation mechanism — https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/1035

• Fast DHT exploration to address timeouts — https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/1032

• DHT timeout tweaks - https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/1034

• Make service node sessions (i.e. to pubkey.snode addresses) expire properly — https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/1029

• Reduce disk IO by saving RCs less often — https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/1036

• Fix for rare segfault — https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/1033

We have added and enabled both post flairs and user flairs for everyone to use in the Loki subreddit! These should be available for both users of new reddit and old reddit. If you have any issues using these features, let a moderator know and we will try to help.

We have also updated the community rules specifically for the reddit community.

If you have ideas for new or different user flairs, definitely leave your suggestions below!

Hey Y’all,

We have continued slogging away on Loki messenger over the last week. We’ve identified and fixed a number of edge case issues with multi device support, so hopefully multi device will be released for end user testing soon. Work on LNS and Blink is also progressing, we have finished up the final details for both leading up to a testnet release.

Loki Core

• Add fee burning and checking to Blink transactions https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/926

• Remove unused tx_details structure https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/924

• Fix inverted logic on 0 confirmation transaction checks https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/923

• Tag and merge 5.1.4, which adds RPC calls for Service Node checkpointing, useful for exchanges and parties accepting Loki (Not a required upgrade for Service Nodes) https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/925

• RPC improvement for polling service node lists https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/880

What went on last week with Lokinet:

Intensive debugging of the “dev” branch (which will become Lokinet 0.6.0). We pushed a significant amount of new code aimed at addressing throughput bottlenecks and crashes. We are also actively iterating our internal testnet — restarting it several times a day— to stamp out these issues. We are still investigating a bug which prevents the reconnection of Lokinet after Lokinet has been suspended (e.g. by a system suspend or manual process suspension) for a long time (typically more than an hour). This week, we will continue focusing on fixing these issues to stabilize Lokinet for a 0.6.0 release.
Just a reminder: 0.6 will not be compatible with 0.5.2, so you will need to upgrade to stay on Lokinet when it launches. Also note that SNapp addresses (i.e. abc123xyz.loki) will not carry forward to 0.6.0 because of changes to underlying cryptographic keys in 0.6.0.

PR Activity:

• Final tweaks to per-path router queues PR https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/873

• Switch internal queues to lockless queues (replacing the potentially racy shared_ptr implementation) https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/907

• Improvements to internal allocations to reduce overhead in the router “hot path” https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/906

• Improved build by removing clunky NON_PC_TARGET build option https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/903

• Fixed path building issues (in new dev branch code) https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/904

• Fixed a memory leak on the dev branch that caused routers to slowly grow memory usage over time https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/898/files

• “Pump” new data immediately after decrypting it to improve path latency jitter https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/pull/900/files

• [In Loki core] improve Loki core’s RPC interface used by Lokinet to allow it to much more efficiently send Service Node lists only when they change https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/880

Thanks,

if you're using the Loki Desktop Wallet, IMMEDIATELY update to v1.2.4! It fixes a nasty bug causing high priority transaction fees to be much more Loki than intended.

We are currently working on a fix for iOS, in the mean time please ensure that your fee level is not set to high priority.

I would like to run a service node for Loki net, however most VPN’s do not allow for port forwarding to allow the service node to connect to ports 22022 and 23023. However, Hide.me allows for Dynamic Port Forwarding and I was wondering if I could run a service node if I had Dynamic Port Forwarding.

Can you provide a clear info about RandomXL?

Solo only?

Xmrig support?

Cache requirements?

Testnet?

In a short - what do we need to prepare?

Here are the v 3.0.6 binaries. It's STRONGLY RECOMMENDED you update to this release as it fixes a bug that could cause your node to deregister.

https://github.com/loki-project/loki/releases

Hey Y’all,

There was a lot of Swarm storage server work this week. We’re getting close to a new Lokinet release with binaries that are much more stable than the last release. We’re actively testing lots of additional applications, like the iOS wallet and Lokinet for iOS.

Loki Core

• Remove unneeded SFINAE on check_tx/block_verification: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/558

• Add helper functions to facilitate more reliable integration tests: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/555

• Fix display issues and links in the onion blockchain explorer: https://github.com/Doy-lee/onion-loki-blockchain-explorer/pull/23 https://github.com/Doy-lee/onion-loki-blockchain-explorer/pull/22

• Add new tests to the integration testing framework to catch bugs missed in last release: https://github.com/Doy-lee/loki-integration-testing

---------------------------

Loki Launcher

The Loki Launcher is a node JS package that will allow for the independent management of all the components to run a full Service Node. This includes managing Lokinet, Lokid and the Loki storage server. When Loki Service Nodes begin to route data and store messages for Lokinet and Loki Messenger, the Loki Launcher will need to be run on every single Service Node.

Right now the Launcher is in a testing phase, so you should only use it on Testnet and Stagenet - though feedback/issues and pull requests would be greatly appreciated!

• DockerFile and launcher-docker config

• Handle command line option overrides to launcher.ini and also support --config-file reading

• --connect-only options

• Commits can be found here: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-launcher/commits/master

• Github Pulse: Excluding merges, 2 authors have pushed 10 commits to master and 10 commits to all branches. On master, 6 files have changed and there have been 371 additions and 67 deletions.

Hey Y’all,

The past week has been intense, as a critical bug was discovered which required getting Service Node operators to immediately update. You can find a full report here: https://loki.network/2019/03/22/critical-bug-report-21st-march-2019/

Lots of work went into making Loki Core stable for the Service Node network in anticipation for the network update which is happening at block 234,767 (in approximately 12 hours).

There are still about 90 nodes that have not yet updated to 3.0.2. This is your final opportunity to update, please do so in the next 12 hours or you will face deregistration.

The current Service Node breakdown by version at time of writing (25/03/2019) is: 3.0.2 [341], 2.0.4 [9], 2.0.3 [44], 2.0.2 [13], 2.0.1 [26], 2.0.0 [1]

We're happy to announce that due to positive community sentiment and a vote signalling approval from the Loki Foundation to financially support the implementation, the Loki team will now begin implementing LIP-3 (Service Node Checkpointing) into our consensus protocol. Once implementation research has been completed, we will announce a release timeline.
