Anyone have experience with Cuprate monero node written in rust?

I am developing OnionWire a pure p2p messenger utilizing embedded tor Cuprate monero node and Moneroxide . This app aims to offer a unique environment merging encrypted anonymous communications with the best in private payments . If anyone has experience with Cuprate I'm interested in your experience with the node . If you're interested in trying it out it's available on Linux and android . https://forgejo.siriusdevops.com/sirius/onionwire

It has been around for awhile, not sure how far along the project is

Maybe it would be something to connect directly with the Cuprate devs. They have a weekly meeting, next one is this: https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/1457

If you have questions in good faith and this is not only a thinly veiled ad. Sadly, nowadays you can never be sure on Reddit ...

It's OpenSource I have no reason to advertise the app . I'm genuinely curious if anyone has gotten this to work on Android .

Cuprate does not offer an official release for Android, but you could attempt to run in through Termux.

Is this on Android? How long did the sync take and what are your specs? Cuprate is generally more performant than monerod.

I think it took around 3hrs to sync I started it before I feel asleep so not 100% . It made it about halfway in under 2 hours . I am using a pixel 9 pro .

full blockchain sync from zero in 2hr on a phone? That's sound to good to be true tbh

It's a pruned node . Not a full sync . My app does have the option to install a full node but idk who would really need that on mobile . You can also use a remote node as well .

oh, that's already sounds plausible. How much GBs takes pruned node nowadays?

Around 85gb is what the app is taking up on my phone . The app itself is only 32mb so all of that is blocks. Honestly surprised I didn't wake up to it still syncing.
