Update on #RecklessApotheosis: our migration from lnd 0.14.2 to 0.15.1 is ongoing. Software upgrades of lnd, bitcoind, tor, bos, and lndg were all successful. Node is fully synced. LND database pruning has been running for 23 hours and is 46.7% complete: 29/104 channels upgraded. At this rate it still has another day of processing, but it is steadily working. Apologies for the downtime!

#RecklessApotheosis lnd 0.15.1 upgrade update. At 50 hours into the process we are now 64.94% done with the database prune. The limiting factor feels to be the massive number of transactions that had to be processed (just shy of 1 billion txs!) and the slow USB SSD bottleneck. There are under 3 million transactions to go, 50/104 channels have been upgraded, no Force Closures🤞yet! The original eta was around 5 hours ago, but processing transactions has slowed toward the end. Thank you all for your patience! And if you upgrade a routing node to 0.15+ be sure to notify your peers and plan for some significant downtime if you're on a Pi! I'll definitely update again when it's complete or with another progress report.

#RecklessApotheosis Pruning update. We are now 74 hours into this crazy painstaking process! The node is 77.85% done pruning, 64/104 channels complete. We unfortunately did have 2 FCs since yesterday. To prevent it from pruning closed channels I'm considering rebooting. Less than 2 million out of 850 million transactions to go, but these last tx's are definitely taking longer, but disk IO and CPU usage have remained constant, so I must be missing something.
