You guys know you can now run a validating Core 0.12 wallet in pruned mode, cutting blockchain/UTXO storage to ~2GB? And libsecp256k1 has drastically reduced initial sync time (which was a big turnoff to new downloaders)...4-10 hours is now the norm for initial sync. And for the bandwidth-capped, easy to throttle upload limiting and blocksonly mode. Truly amazing work being done by Core.

Hope to see more progress on the Android pruned wallet implementation.
