I’m drooling here. Seriously, fantastic job david. I don’t see how this could have turned out to be any better than it currently is.

@Samurai

Minimum RAM: 4GB ?

It’s a full node. It won’t use that much ram all the time, but during IBD it could use quite a bit for brief periods.

Congrats! This is a major step forward! Thank you for listening and adding the feature control of the grin node by placing it in a convenient format and with quick access. I appreciate it.

Just download and have a look. The interface of GRIN + + is so cool that it’s even more cool than you think

@Roelsmajor

89 minutes for fully sync

89 minutes?! mmmm… are you using a VPN? could you share the devices specifications? Android version? I see only 6 connected peers, it is always like that? 6 to 8 peers?

Thanks.

[Roelsmajor]

Here u are:

Running without using VPN
Now 8 peers. So Yes so far 6 to 8 peers.

[david]

89 minutes seems reasonable tbh. It’s largely dependent on peers and connection speed, and there’s of course a ton of processing required when validating the state. I have fast internet and a relatively powerful device and it still took me quite a while.

This is some impressive work @davidtavarez !! Congratulations! Having a full node running on a mobile device is amazing.

Why is the connection failure 127.0.0.1:3421 displayed when creating a wallet

[davidtavarez]

@grin001

connection failure 127.0.0.1:3421

means that the node, which is running in background, stopped and the app is not able to communicate with the node; I recommend this:

Close the app like this: How to close apps on Android: All you need to know

Stop the Service following the next steps:

Swipe from up to bottom your notification bar to display these actions:

Now, tap on STOP:

Make sure that Grin++ can be run in Background avoiding Android to kill the Node because this can cause the chain to get corrupted:

The process of doing this will vary depending on the device.

Open the Grin++ again and try yo create a wallet again.

Thank you for your reply

Consider submitting it to f-droid or making an f-droid repo for it. Since it is a FOSS project it would make sense and be more broadly available to people who insist on FOSS software.
