  https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/104

  ). Testing still needs to be done.

• Enable storage of the Service Node list in the database, this will reduce time spent scanning the blockchain on startup. Testing still required.

Service Nodes

• Pull request has been submitted and is in review for quorum cop polling the state of the network. It currently integrates with de-registration to autonomously monitor and vote off nodes on the network. 

  https://github.com/loki-project/loki/pull/105

• Continue writing tests for preventing regressions on service nodes.

• Began writing startup guides describing the process of setting up a Service Node. The guide should be detailed enough for the process to be clear for beginners.

• Set-up multiple VPS/Dedicated servers to come to a better understanding of bandwidth requirements and identify ‘Exit Friendly’ hosting providers.

• Signatures added to Service Node registration.
