Current master where? I don't see it here:

Don't I need the npub for the public FIPS testing node?

peers: []
# Static peers for bootstrapping (UDP or TCP):
# - npub: "npub1..."
# alias: "gateway"
# addresses:
# - transport: udp
# addr: "217.77.8.91:2121" # public FIPS testing node
# connect_policy: auto_connect

Any tips on how to find a peer to test with?
