Good job getting staking back up and running folks (well in a test fork at least). Any ETA on the official fork?
discussing when and where to put the fork in. Thunder is testing the release to make sure nothing important was missed. I think (don't hold me to it) that the first release will simply be a fix, with the new UI and such coming a bit later. But yes, on the test fork all appeared to work correctly and quickly. There may need to be some more tweaking down the road a bit once the staking is moving correctly, but it won't be major.
That being said, the fix is a hard fork and will be a mandatory upgrade. Thundertoe will have the details very soon.
Oh, no stake weight will be lost. Obviously, given the halted POS chain, we all lost some compounding, but no stake weight. Call it nature's method of inflation control
I am glad to hear that everything is getting into gear. It sounds like lots of hard work and testing went into this. Also I wouldn't call it "inflation control", maybe more like "postponing inflation". There might be a bit of inflation lost due to the loss in compound, and those that panic sold away their coin age. But once staking comes back on, there will be a week or so of harsh inflation that has been postponed, at least assuming everyone held on to their coins like they should have.
Yes I am happy for this as well.
I just want to make sure the code makes it to github, so it can be reviewed. I am happy to Q/A it as well.
Good luck!
THX for code - but windows wallet not compiled?
Windows will be available. Tranz just wants to make sure the code can be reviewed. And Tranz? I talked to Thundertoe earlier today. He's putting it up on github. May be there by now, as that was several hours ago.
a lot of useful information .
