Light Client Networking (LCN / CLN)
Ongoing for over six weeks, focused on improving file upload/download reliability and stripping out unnecessary legacy code to boost performance.
Making the client experience more consistent and efficient
Entering extensive testing
Reachability Checks (PR #2947)
Chris is putting #2947 and the CLN through QA. This is part of a wider effort to simplify node setup by detecting and configuring the correct networking mode automatically—so users don’t have to handle UPnP or manual config.
Aims to improve accessibility for less technical users
Expected to be a major improvement alongside CLN
RPC Removal
This removes an outdated service layer from the node and Launchpad systems to make everything lighter and less resource-heavy.
Ermine:
Will enter testing after LCN is integrated
CLI Feature Additions
Work is underway to include the scratch pad and pointers in the CLI – features that already exist elsewhere in the stack.
Looking forward to the day I can upload my huge 500 GB projects! Great work all. And give happybeing some of that IF rewards stuff. He deserves it. Cheers
Great update! I’m especially interested in the LCN.
One thing I’ve been thinking: I remember @qi_ma saying somewhere that the self-encryption is not streaming at the moment, and that the whole file to encrypt should fit into the RAM the user has available. Is this the case? And if so, are there plans to get the upload size to not be limited by the available RAM?
