Weekly Dev Update #15

Hey Y’all,

Last week was our biggest release week so far- SERVICE NODES ARE NOW LIVE!

Service Nodes

Service nodes are now released! At time time of publishing this, there are 84 Service Nodes now running (https://lokiblocks.com/service_nodes) There have also been a number of pooled Service Nodes, and some even waiting for contributions.

• Continue merging upstream Monero changes to Loki (

  https://github.com/Doy-lee/loki/tree/LokiMergeUpstream20180821

  )

• Finalise the release binaries for Service Nodes including final patches for log file bloat.

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.

We want to give a special shout out to Despair, an open source contributor who has continued to update the porting Lokinet over to Windows (and improve BSD support).

• We are looking for experienced sysadmins for running nodes that connect to our toynet. Please join the Discord room called Lokinet, and we can add you to the node operator role. You can host a hidden service or browse existing hidden services.

• Progress continues on libllarp

• DNS library
