This is great, but I think saying 'catching up a few months takes an hour when on mobile' is a bit misleading I think. When I scan 1 year worth of transactions it takes me about ~5 minutes on my phone (doing 'local' scanning with Dana). Admittedly we use spent filtering, but that is described in the BIP too so I don't think it's unrealistic to compare it against that benchmark. '5 minutes' isn't *seconds*, but it isn't *hours* either.

This should be fixed now, i updated the release

crap, well that didn't take long😅 thanks for sharing👍

Shameless self plug: for those interested in testing out a new silent payments wallet: check out Dana (currently only on android). We're working on giving users their own [email protected] bip353 address when creating a new wallet, that should be live pretty soon.

that's odd, i don't have any hangups myself, does it return a specific kind of error?

what do you mean? with syncing Dana?

The definition of 'node' is a little vague. I also consider bip158 ('neutrino') clients to be nodes, since they can independently verify their own transactions. But they don't really engage in stuff like forwarding unconfirmed transactions.

You can also run bitcoin core in pruned mode. In that case you drop block data that is irrelevant to you after verifying it, but other than that, you interact with the network in the same way that a full node would.

either you run a node, or someone else does it for you

What network are you using on Cake wallet? Are these mainnet coins?

I don't think it should be possible to send from Cake wallet to Dana, since they are on different networks. Does your receive address start with 'sprt1q'?
