Ergo Reference Client 3.0.7 released!
https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/releases/tag/v3.0.7
https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/releases/tag/v3.0.7
Quote
This release is introducing new API methods and bugfixes, and also a new consensus rule for testnet only. Details are below.
The new /script API path is about providing access to scripting possibilities of the node and ErgoScript compiler.
* /wallet/with_unconfirmed renamed into /wallet/withUnconfirmed
* /wallet/p2s_address and /wallet/p2sh_address API methods are moved into /script/p2sAddress and /script/p2shAddress
* new /script/addressToTree method to get serialized script for a box from address
* Fix for #853 : "when trying to send transaction during the synchronization process, it is possible to achieve negative balance in wallet"
* Fix for #875: improper UI description for "inputsRaw" parameter in transaction generation methods
* Fix for #876: a filter for to prevent double spending of unconfirmed boxes introduced in 3.0.6 also filtered out user-provided boxes
Before mainnet launch difficulty got high in the testnet so now dev team can not generate blocks with our few GPUs. Thus we introduce the following breaking change in consensus for the testnet only.
* weaker difficulty validation rule for testnet: if there's not block for 5 minutes then difficulty for a new block is set to 1

Do your pools run? I can connect. I cant connect. Anyone who ever answers in support?
Do you mean the [email protected] inbox? I'm there and do not see anything about pools. You can PM me here on the forum, thanks!

Ergo reference client v.3.0.6 is out! https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/releases/tag/v3.0.6
Next release would be 3.1.0 probably, with optimized (3x faster in our tests) database layer.
Now we are going to make node friendly to applications. We have some external teams willing to develop tokenization module for commodities, full-fledged wallet (w. support for tokens and contractual applications), ultra-light mobile wallet with atomic swaps, somewhat decentralized pool, oracles. Working closely with them, we will deliver API updates, tutorials, open-source applications. And if you are willing to build applications on top of Ergo (Lightning/Rainbow network, DEXes, mixers, community currencies etc) please let us know! If you are willing to invest in applications on top of Ergo please let us know too!

AMD miner devs reported that issue w. prehashing has been solved. So now AMD cards w. 8GB RAM should be highly competitive. Mining software link: https://github.com/mhssamadani/ergoAMDminer

Ergo gateway on WavesDEX is working! And so EFYTs buy-back started! Yesterday 1K testing payment was sent to the gateway, today 10K Ergs passed the gateway. All 11K Ergs were used to buy back EFYTs by creating orders @ 1.000 Ergo/EFYT rate. 11K EFYTs bought back are burnt. All these actions are traceable, Waves account for the Foundation is https://wavesexplorer.com/address/3PK9QAbwufVJQ2YVLdNxgVnAqG4iciw9LYE

We have enough material for 3.0.5 and even 3.1.0 (a release which will require for re-syncing with a fresh database). In particular, improvements we already have for being included are providing 2x memory footprint reduction and 3x faster sync.
3.0.5 will also introduce a new transaction assembler which tries to avoid creating too big transactions and collecting dust automatically.
And for sure we're working on getting more API methods to expose Ergo features to application developers.
With the improvements done we will start to recommend miners to raise up computational limits few weeks later. For that, a miner just needs to write (an individual) target value into node config (and restart the node). Then the node will automatically vote for raising the limit while it is no more than the target value (by creating blocks with a vote included). If 50+% of miners are voting for raising the limit during the epoch (of 1,024 blocks), the next epoch will start with the limit increased by 1%.

Please try AMD miner, it is more stable than anytime before now https://github.com/mhssamadani/ergoAMDminer

how to start and is there a video tutorial?
On video, one enthusiast promised to deliver something here. However, we would be happy to see more videos done by community members. Bonuses will be paid for that for sure.
