2024-01-25: resources prepared, waiting for genesis + a binary + a config to start the actual network.

2024-01-29 - working on starting neard with a huge (60GB) dedicated records file. This is required to start the network with a mainnet generated genesis. First start parses the records. Subsequent starts can use the --unsafe-fast-startup option to reduce startup time.

To reduce startup time, we can do a snapshot of a node that parsed the records file, and instruct people to always use --unsafe-fast-startup.

The commit/branch used for statelessnet will be available tomorrow.

2024-01-30: we have the binary, we are still missing the genesis records. Marcelo is preparing them by EoD. We will begin the state loading today, and continue with snapshot preparation tomorrow.

2024-01-31: still waiting to start the first nodes based on the record file. We expect to have the node up and running by EoD.
