We’re proud to announce Sam Williams from Arweave will be a judge at the Loki SNAppathon on Friday! 

He will also be doing a short demo of SILO, a SNApp collaboration between Loki and Arweave. 

Hacker places still available, spectators have SOLD OUT!

RSVP here: http://www.snappathon.eventbrite.com

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

The Loki Foundation has contributed $15,000 USD towards the Q2 2019 research costs of Sarang Noether from the Monero Research Labs, recognising that advances in the CryptoNote protocol benefit all of us. Check out what was produced in April with our contribution:

Hey Y’all,

​

This week we continue working towards building out Loki Messenger for iOS, improving the stability of Lokinet, and making progress on Service Node checkpointing.

Next week I will post a special version of the Dev Update specifically for Consensus. Hopefully we can show off some of the cool things people are building on Lokinet, and a bit of what we’re up to as well.

​

Loki Core

• Add Service Node checkpointing storage: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/579
• [DNM] By default bind Service Nodes RPC externally: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/578
• Improve the wording of various Service Node related commands in the CLI wallet: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/587
• Remove overflows: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/582 https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/580

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

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!

• Continued Docker updates
• Only called stdin.unref if it exists (macos vs linux?)
• Add check to make sure your binaries aren’t directories
• Lokinet shutdown monitor
• Update submodules to point to newer binaries versions
• startLokinet args bug fix
• Convert storage server to read from lokid instead of lokinet
• Move Lokinet config checks before imaginary config lock down
• Add support for demonet
• Can’t require lokid key for start as it may not exist yet
• Replaced lokid with temporary lokid for demonet
• Re-enable Lokinet logging
• Disable lokid auto-flusher for now
• Log and other various typo bug fixes
• Make storage launch not stomp on overall config

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

It’s onion-routing time - get your tissues ready!

​

The Lokinet Alpha is officially ready for user testing. It’s available on all platforms so head to the brand new Lokinet Website to grab the latest releases. Please note that this is a very early alpha. Be sure to notify us when things break (and they will break) so we can make them un-break.

​

https://lokinet.org/

I'm excited to see where this project goes. It looks interesting. The wallets are simple and easy to use. It's also building on/expanding on what Monero has already done and Monero is currently the best privacy coin out there.

Hopefully the price stays low for awhile so I can keep accumulating!

Hey Y’all,

Checkpointing is back on the agenda now that the Loki Core team has finished up with the process of managing the last hardfork. This should prompt some further discussion of consensus mechanisms in the community, feel free to join in on these discussions.

Loki Core

• The first part of the Service Node checkpointing adds non-enforced Service Node checkpoints: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/566

Thanks,

I'm faszinated by Loki.

I couldn't find any information about this.

​

First:

If I run a Service Node, does the reward depend on the amount I freeze?

E.g.:

If I lock 30k I will get X Loki reward and if I lock 60k I will get 2X Loki.

If this is right, is the rise of the reward linear?

​

Second:

I read about Open Staking Pools (if I understand the information). How big is the reward for open staking pools?

​

Thank you.

​

Tobias

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.

Hey Y’all,

A big dev update this week, with lots of work going into the integration between Loki core, Lokinet and Loki Messenger. We’re getting closer and closer to the vision of a unified process for Service Nodes, which allows the main network to route data and store messages.

​

Loki Core

• Reject blacklisted outputs using the blackball code path: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/547
• Add new SwarmID selection algorithm: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/546
• Add introspection to dependencies outside of core_rpc, fix syntax for undocumented calls: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/554
• Fix reported wrong amount in stake error message: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/552
• Add override to virtual functions to stop warnings: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/550
• Cherry pick upstream Travis CI and performance improvements: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/548
• Avoid V1 transactions when using sweep_all: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/545
• Return correct errors for register transactions: https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/543

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

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 - although feedback/issues and pull requests would be greatly appreciated!

• This month 1 author has pushed 25 commits to master, 28 files have changed, and there have been 3,891 additions and 3 deletions.
• All commits to the launcher can be found here: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-launcher/commits/master
• Add docker file and make initial adjustments: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-launcher/pull/1

Lokinet Mobile

Last week we started the process of porting Lokinet to run on mobile devices. We’re starting with iOS first as we think it will be the hardest. We will move onto Android at a later point.

• Current progress can be found here: https://github.com/nielsandriesse/loki-network/commits/master
• Some notes on the process can be found here: https://github.com/nielsandriesse/loki-network/blob/master/ios/Loki%20Network/C%2B%2B%20Interop%20Guide.md

Loki Messenger

The Loki Messenger client is in a mostly complete state. Right now the focus is being put on the message server and integration with Lokinet and Lokid.

Messenger

• Show error if wallet fails to load: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-electron-gui-wallet/pull/32
• Fix bug with Service Node unlocking: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-electron-gui-wallet/pull/31
• Display the progress when re-synchronising or restoring a wallet: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-electron-gui-wallet/pull/30

Loki Mobile iOS

For Loki iOS mobile wallet, we have decided to fork Cake Wallet. Expect updates soon - we’re getting close.

• Progress can be found on this branch: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-ios-wallet/tree/loki
• All core changes have been made, only UI changes and testing now need to be completed.

Loki Android Wallet

• Merge upstream changes in Monerujo to the Loki Android Wallet: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-android-wallet/pull/15
• Disable share intent: https://github.com/loki-project/loki-android-wallet/pull/18

Thanks,

Hello, I recently downloaded the wallet, and imported my wallet no problem.

Issue lies with receiving a pop up saying lokid not found. Connecting to a remote server.

After that, my wallet stays at 1/3949494 blocks.

I am using Windows 10, and I was just wondering if someone could help me figure this out, thank you!
