Filecoin Weekly Report-59: The calibration network has been reset many times, and the test launch time is undetermined

 

Co-edited by Steven Li and Iris

【Project Introduction】

Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that transforms cloud storage into an algorithm market .

Miners - obtain FIL by providing data storage and retrieval

Clients- allow miners to provide storage, distribution and retrieval data services by paying FIL

 

[Project progress: Testnet phase2 ]

 

test version:

• Calibration stage

Test objectives:

• Network security
• Calibration network test (already started)
• Test reward plan (may be postponed, the specific time is undetermined)
• Economic model parameters (current parameters do not represent the main network)

project progress:

• Enter the calibration period, the network reset several times
• Frequent updates of economic models, gas calculations, etc.
• The big miner test depends on the order status of the Calibration network

 

[Hot Spots of Last Week]

• Since Calibration started, it has been reset twice last week. Due to the transaction success rate (most miners fail to achieve a 75% success rate), the test reward plan may be postponed. The start-up time is defined from August 6th to August 12th; if many miners cannot accept orders normally on August 12th, the network will start as usual.

• On July 29, a video about FIL pledge suddenly circulated. The editor wanted to say: The official is only a preliminary parameter, and there will be more adjustments in the test reward plan and the mainnet. Miners, don’t panic.

• On July 31, Filecoin officially announced two other events, Apollo & Launchpad, aimed at promoting the landing of Filecoin.

"There are opportunities for Filecoin besides mining? Official events are worth noting

• On August 1, Filecoin officially conducted a live broadcast with ETHGlobal on the YouTube channel, mainly discussing the Filecoin retrieval market.

[Progress of testnet last week]

1) After starting the self-calibration, it has been reset twice last week. Restart again on August 1:

• • The Filecoin team officially began to experiment with the storage market and the retrieval market, and the robot began to work
  • Launched multiple rankings, including rankings of miners' computing power, success rate of receiving orders, block rewards, etc.

2) Test network operation status:

(14:00 data)

Due to two resets last week, the network data has not been statistically analyzed. If you are interested, you can check it on Filscan.

3) Main issues:

• The amount of mortgage is too large
• The success rate of orders is generally low

 

[Development progress last week]

Main code and design progress last week

• Code additions and bug fixes:
  • The blst library is used to replace the original BLS library, and the efficiency of BLS verification and hash calculation is increased by more than 5 times
  • In the case of an empty wheel, still handle routine tasks
  • More elegant command line output, continuous improvement
  • To improve some of the problems: the total circulation of FIL bug fixes; deadline calculation improvement; transaction inquiries positioning problems
    ChainWatch improvements
    same problem Sector Deal scored more
    chain synchronization Continuous Improvement: This in the end how hard, long tangled
    improve the way mortgage
  • Start preparing for IncentiveNet
  • Support interactive trading commands
  • Economic model mechanism is realized, parameters continue to be adjusted
• Design and certification update:
  • The design part of the document continues to be improved-this should be done faster
  • Prove that part of the security audit is in progress, and the code part is changed. Minor changes
