【Project Introduction】
Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that transforms cloud storage into an algorithmic market .
Miners- obtain FIL by providing data storage and retrieval;
Clients- allow miners to provide data storage, distribution and retrieval services by paying FIL;
[Project progress: Testnet phase2 ]
test version:
-
Testnet phase2
-
interopnet restart
Test objectives:
-
Four implementations including lotus and go-filecoin complete interoperability
-
Security audit of network and code
-
Hardware configuration/proof structure/economic structure
-
Filecoin test reward program (expected 3 weeks)
project progress:
-
Interopnet restarted again, running smoothly for a week
-
Expect to reset Testnet this Wednesday
-
Filecoin test reward program description is online, the global carnival is about to begin
-
The second stage of trusted configuration will begin on June 29
[Hot Spots of Last Week]
-
The biggest thing last week was the official announcement of the Filecoin test reward program on June 10, with a total of 4 million FIL rewards.
-
On June 10, The Force District released a global partnership plan to build a win-win situation with the global community.
-
The second phase of trusted configuration will start on June 29, and we hope that community members can actively cooperate.
-
The official website of Filecoin.io has been revised to directly promote mining and storage practices. The homepage is linked to filecoin.io.
Explore Filecoin's vision
-
On June 12th, Filecoin announced an 8-week hackathon jointly organized with Spark University, which will start on June 15.
[Progress of testnet last week]
1) The internet restarts and runs for a week without major problems, which proves that the code stability has improved.

2) Test network operation status:
The second phase of the test network has been officially launched, and it has been running for exactly one month. The network has continued to operate. There are fewer new problems this week and the overall operation is stable.

-
Last week, the block height exceeded 105,000, and the effective computing power of the entire network was close to about 7.77 PiB. Compared with the increase in the previous week, the growth rate was slightly slower. It shows that some large miners have begun to power some mining institutions.
-
The block reward has decreased proportionally from 18.167 FIL at the beginning of the week to 18.13 FIL at the weekend, in line with expectations
-
The stability of block production is average, the average block interval is about 25s, and there are not many rounds of empty blocks; but the average number of blocks in each round remains at 1.8, the same as the previous week, but much lower than expected. The reason may be that some miners are punished for computing power, and some miners are too late to produce blocks
-
The current average number of messages is about 10, which is lower than the previous week (20), indicating that the network activity has dropped a lot this week.
-
The current message size is about 490 bytes, which is lower than the previous week (640). The main reason is that the number of copies of the proof of message has decreased and the average message length has decreased.
3) Main issues:
-
Issue#448: The problem of permanent loss of computing power (because of some calculation problems in bitfield)-repairing
-
Issue#1948: The setting of Gas fee calculation is unreasonable-to be adjusted (use storage plus calculation for statistics to set)
-
Issue#1958: When there is no disk space, the chain cannot be synchronized
-
Issue#1981: Reporting consensus errors did not take effect
[Development progress last week]
-
Code additions and bug fixes:
-
Spec-actors improvements: enhanced code standardization, optimization of Bitfield processing, code review and many suggestions for modification
-
Commit-Capacity Upgrading: Allows the mortgage space to be upgraded to store real data (which will increase the effective computing power): At present, the proof of copy must be done again, but it will be improved after the mainnet is launched
-
Add wallet delete command
-
Fix balance calculation error
-
Increase the initial verification calculation of the client's transaction
-
Improvement of time and space proof: improve flexibility, improve error handling, update interface
-
Documentation update: Install Lotus on Ubuntu, Lotus Seal Worker documentation,
-
Clean up some unnecessary logs
-
Improve verification performance: parallel computing, eliminating some information that should not be synchronized
-
Optimization and adjustment of gas usage value
-
-
Design and certification update:
-
Add the IPLD chapter in Filecoin to Spec
-
Improve the process description and dependencies of the search market
-
