Hey @djkazic ,

How does this gossip syncer work?
How can I use it with lightning terminal mobile (this PR) .

The ReadMe doesn't seem clear enough.

This repo was designed to be integrated into LND. @kaloudis from Zeus has gotten it working with Litdmobile though.

Possible PR in the future?

[djkazic]

The high level overview is that speedloader downloads a graph file over HTTP and then constructs a merged graph file consisting of:

1. All localized data for the node.
2. The freshly downloaded graph snapshot.

There is also incremental diff download support to download just the diff for what's changed in the graph.

Compressed this works out to be about 40MB of data. Right now I serve it from a VPS.

And for graph sync server side we use primer:

Thanks @djkazic .

Do you combine https://github.com/djkazic/primer with LND as well?

[djkazic]

Primer only orchestrates LND, it's not combined. Rather it is built on top of LND.

Hey @djkazic, seems @kaloudis is quite busy right now, and we're uncertain about the timeline. Could you explain how to use speedloader and primer with Lndmobile, I might be able to make it work with Litdmobile and possibly submit a PR for it too.
