@jarradh I also think what you did about the peer discovery is not the same thing. We need both so maybe we can also use what you wrote. Looking forward to checking out your progress so far. With coordinated efforts we can surely go further, I also have some stuff in mind that you guys could work on if you'd like to. So see you tomorrow :)
@/all We had a very nice talk with @fjl @jarradh @dwhitena and I promised that we'll start some kind of "public testing" phase for the light client this month. This means that you'll still have to start up your own LES servers and connect to them manually until we have the new peer discovery in place, but I'll make a branch where there'll always be a usable version of the client and also improve the documentation on how to actually use it.
ETH is about to go again into 0.03 or more once bitcoin drop.. also the ETH network going to give us great pump check this: www.EthereumNetwork.net

really looking forward to trying it out
@zsfelfoldi to get a better understanding of the time to expect, can you leak details about that list of things before starting the public testing, and the issues delaying official release? I understand it's hard to give ETAs but this would be a great help to know what to expect. Thanks
as the current one cannot handle "topic" based discovery (e.g. discover nodes that can speak LES, or ETH and SHH)
sounds good, thanks -- @zsfelfoldi mentioned two lists, basically, I'd be happy to learn what might be on them if that was possible, to get a good idea how complete things are at this point. Also, @karalabe, you had mentioned above that the light client will NOT feature before 1.5? Meaning later than 1.5 as in 1.6+? Or is it the main thing for 1.5?
1.5 should be mostly about optimizations, database reorg, etc
i.e. we don't want to target something and then have to say sorry, can;t deliver
things to do before public testing:
- have ethereum/go-ethereum#2159 merged (if it doesn't happen soon, we can live without that, but it would be a lot easier)
- rebase the rest of the code to the latest version and test it
- write a short document on how to use it without proper peer discovery
later I'd like to add the new peer discovery to the public test version too (we've mostly coded it up already but I don't want to promise that it will be ready for the first test version)
about the official release: no idea :) but if the public test goes well, that might speed up the actual release too.
test release: will happen this month
test version with new peer discovery: july
official: whenever the test version is considered stable, I'd say august or september might be realistic (but I think you don't really need to wait for the official release for any practical purpose).

last week we were fixing an issue in whisper
Looks like as soon as it is creating the new identity, it was endlessly trying to decrypt a message that isn't there and generating errors
