Community Delegate Contest — Prepare yourself!

On block 1,451,520 the forging rewards will be activated with the subsequent activation of community forging. The imminent completion of our first milestone “Mainchain stabilisation” is a big step forward for Lisk and we are celebrating it with a delegate campaign and a proposal contest.



For those new to Lisk, delegates represent the backbone of the decentralised Lisk network. Anyone can become a delegate, but only 101 delegates get the opportunity to generate blocks and earn forging rewards. These 101 delegates are elected by every LSK holder by voting, their voting power equals their LSK balance. The more LSK they own, the more voting power they have. The cumulative voting power of all accounts in the network decides who is in the top 101 and who isn’t.

Does anyone know what's wrong with the blockchain?
Transactions appear/disappear randomly, balances are shown wrongly, withdrawal from Polo doesn't work (txid not found), Bittrex wallet under maintenance..

 Huh

The explorer nodes forked. We will restart them as soon as possible.
Ah, okay.
I'm interested, under what circumstances can this happen?
I guess, for example, when a few nodes don't receive transactions for a while (go offline etc.) and after they're online again, consensus is impaired?
(But wouldn't they just resync then?)

One reason for example was (which is now fixed in the next release update) a logic problem in block processing. This resulted in a CPU spike when processing a block while there are many transactions on the network at the same time. During that time where the CPU spiked to 100% the node couldn't do anything else, so he fall behind / starved. I.e. chances are high he lands on a fork.

Is this something that you can resolve, or such issues are correctly identified by RISE team as a major flaw? See quote from RISE thread below

...
As you all probably have assumed, we have encountered numerous issues with the delegate system, and the security of the rise-core code base. A couple of highlights:

  • Slow system speed - 10> Transactions per second - Above this causes forks
  • DDoS Vulnerabilities in multiple core system packages that require significant updates to resolve
  • Spotty delegate communication
  • High resource usage for nodes
The above issues are difficult to resolve in the current code base (As evidenced by the original developers lack of resolution up until this point).

In order to find a solution for this, we are going back to the drawing board, and designing an entirely new architecture for the system, not based on anything that is currently in existence. We will be writing a new codebase from scratch.
...

I already answered your question. The latest test results look very promising. Come to our chat to find out more regarding testing.

Why the price is going down? Any news?

Most alts are going down while bitcoin price surging higher, this may be the reason.

The value of all my alts has plummeted over the last few days. Its not just a Lisk thing.

I have a feeling that this project is stalling, lack of competent developers seems to be hurting the growth of this project, Max is good with marketing but he is not a solid developer. Hope they do get the right people in since they have no problem with funding

You can't be more wrong, they still did not access ICO money, things they are accomplished until now, with no funding, are amazing. Your comment is based on price or on stupid idea to buy more below 20k.

A New Way in Communications

For the Lisk team it has always been important to stay transparent and open to the community. We’ve been frequently updating the community through our blog with bi-weekly community meetings, weekly summaries and detailed change-logs for version updates. Moving forward, we are transitioning from our current setup and streamlining it to funnel important information into the blog, repetitive announcements into the forums, day to day community discussions into the Lisk Chat and developer collaborations through Gitter.
