Hi there,
Yesterday we released Zebra 1.9.0 which includes the necessary changes to activate NU6 on Testnet.
You can find this latest release on Github, Dockerhub and crates.io.
Please try out this latest release and let us know if you find any issues of have any feature requests by opening issues on the Zcash Foundation Github, or by writing to us here on the forum.
You can find more details about what is included with this release in the release notes on GitHub and the release blog post.
Hi pili, thanks for the update, feature request: the need to find a method to allow zebrad to operate as a pruned node. Any insight in this possibility will help in future planning.
That would be a cool feature but it is important to understand that a pruned node would not have much more functionality than just being a node (which is still cool). It would not be able to support LWD, other wallets or explorer functions (outside of its snapshot, at least).
Reference point: pruned zcashd - ui vs full zebrad - LWD - ui
Maybe: pruned zebrad - zingo indexer - ui
Or
Pruned zebrad - zenith - ui
The cost and speed to deploy full nodes is a high mountain.
With pruning zcashd, I believe it means the node maintains about the latest 100 blocks or so. After that, they’re pruned so it only ever has about 13 hours of the latest chain history.
Totally, deploy pruned zebra + ui, create address, receive assets, send to my space hardware wallet, burn node. Five minutes
Hi!
This has been requested in the past: feature: Implement pruned mode · Issue #8559 · ZcashFoundation/zebra · GitHub
Feel free to add any more details regarding motivation and needs as this will help us prioritise this work in future.
Right now the short term priorities for the team are enabling zcashd deprecation and NU6 activation on mainnet.
Thanks for the updates! I have started building more on zebra
