【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
Test objectives:
- Four implementations including lotus and go-filecoin complete interoperability
- Security audit of network and code
- Hardware configuration/certification structure/economic structure (change to May 29)
project progress:
- The second phase testnet is online
- Big miner test, millions of FIL rewards have not yet started
[Hot Spots of Last Week]
- On May 11, Filscan cooperated with the official effective storage requirements and launched effective computing power.

- On May 11-12, slack was captured by "When will the testnet go live?" There were many time points in the community, such as May 13 at 17:00 (UTC). Finally, @Why appeared to make it clear that it was the afternoon of Western US time. 3 points.
- On May 15th, the official testnet was launched on time. The Force Mining Pool partners unexpectedly ran out of 2 hours and 58 minutes to complete the 32G seal, which caused an uproar in the community. In the afternoon, The Force Mine Pool once again proved its lightning speed.
- On May 15, Filscan was hit by two DDoS attacks. The developer had to ask the official for help, and Juan appeared to call for ecological protection.
- On May 17th, the official engaged in a battle with the Force Mining Pool to challenge the speed of copying proof. In the end, the challenge was completed in 2 hours and 43 minutes, and the world could see China's speed again!
"The Force Lightning: Filecoin Copy Proves China's Speed"
- Last week, the Filecoin team stated that an AMA will be held this week, and it is now basically positioned at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
- Last week, the Filecoin Discover project launched by the Filecoin team, now there is a refund after the hard drive is purchased. The specific reason remains to be explained.
[Progress of testnet last week]
1) Testnet/2 has been running stably for more than 2 months, and officially withdrew from the stage of history on May 14, pay tribute to it
2) InteropNet, the predecessor of the second phase test, provided a good foundation for the stable operation of the second phase network, and it has now ended.
3) At 6:10 on May 15, 2020, Beijing time, the second phase of the test network was officially launched. The network continued to operate and was relatively stable, but the process was ups and downs:
- Number fight
- The force area proved the speed to shock everyone, and it only took 2 hours and 58 minutes to complete the proof
- The speed of the force zone was questioned, and it was directly suggested that it was pre-dig
- Filecoin team Lead-Why, personally challenged, proved that the Force Zone is really lightning speed
- The computing power of other communities is also coming up
- The Force Zone calls for no arms race, rationality test
4) At present, the system has stable block production, after three days of operation:

- During the operation, due to the problem of mpool message processing, the block generation was slow. After @Magik6k repaired, the block generation is basically normal
- The current average number of messages is about 24, and the message size is about 308 bytes; the average number of blocks per height is 2.3, slightly lower than expected
[Development progress last week]
- Testnet/3 development completed
- 64G sector-size support
- Improve bitfield problem
- Set parameters for the second phase of the testnet and start the second phase of testing
- Set proper gaslimit and gasprice
