   These values are useful to know the current progress of initial sync, or of catching up, which is arguably the use of a quick -getinfo command.

   Concept ACK. There is a typo in commit message in “verifcationprogress”.
4. laanwj renamed this:
   cli: Add "headers" and "verifcationprogress" to -getinfo
   cli: Add "headers" and "verificationprogress" to -getinfo
   on Oct 29, 2019
5. cli: Add "headers" and "verificationprogress" to -getinfo

   These value are useful to know the current progress of
   initial sync, or of catching up.

    Exponential formatting of “verificationprogress” seems a bit awkward.

    Exponential formatting of “verificationprogress” seems a bit awkward.

    Yes. But out of scope of this issue as I have no control over formatting as long as we’re using JSON here. A progress bar would be nicer I guess. See also #17314.
