After a smooth launch, please find some note updates below. This will probably only be of interest to the advanced users among you. If you are not a miner, you do not need to take any action.
Epoch conversion in 2 hours
Let’s start with a brief description of miners. The network will switch eras in approximately 2 hours. If you use the geth/ethminer combo, you should be all set if you choose to use: — Automatic detection flag geth and –No pre-calculation on ethminer. If not, keep an eye on the miner’s creation process. afternoon. Please report any issues to one of the following: go or C++ Publish a repository depending on the client you are using.
Some AMD cards require GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=95. apply that much Larger DAG size.
A client update is coming soon.
In the coming days, we may see the 5,000 gas per block limit lifted. We plan to operate with a gas target of 3M (3141592 or pi million as we call it) per block going forward.
Remember, it is a protocol that defines limits on how much the per-block gas limit can increase (or decrease), and miners can only adjust parameters within these limits.
The maximum increase (or decrease) is set by the protocol at the upper gas limit / 1024. Using default parameters, which are not influenced by miners, it would take at least 6 hours to go from the current 5,000 gas per block to the transaction tolerance limit (a simple transaction on Ethereum requires 21,000 gas).
Of course, statistically speaking, the more miners update their clients when an update is released, the faster the network will reach its 3M target (at least 28 hours). So if you are into mining, keep an eye out for releases from both. C++ and go Make sure you update your customers as soon as they arrive.
The default gas price is set to 50 Shannon.
The default gas price is 50 Shannon (Fixed at 0.05or 0.00000005 ether). While the gas price is ultimately always defined by the user calling the contract, miners can set parameters on their machines to accept or ignore transactions where the gas price falls within a certain range.
On the user side, there is also a built-in oracle that defines the optimal gas price determined by previous block gas usage. For example, if the previous block was less than 80% full, the gas price oracle will adjust to a lower gas price recommendation.
Olympic Rewards Update
We are currently compiling a list of Olympic winners and will do so over the coming weeks.
If you’re hoping for Olympic rewards but can’t do the A->B transaction covered in one of my Previous blog postDon’t panic. The Olympic Network will still be able to execute those transactions.
Some of you have reported having trouble keeping up with the Olympic Blockchain. In this case, try using a C++ client that syncs within 5 hours. Since miners have now naturally moved to Frontier, a few blocks may need to be mined for the transaction to proceed.
update namereg
Once we thaw out, we will look to add a name registrar agreement. We haven’t confirmed the behavior yet and the behavior (similar to the auction house) is probably worth its own blog post. You can view the currently published code. https://github.com/ethereum/dapp-bin/blob/master/registrar/registrar.sol.
Announcements are always made through blogs.
Thank you for your amazing support and engagement on social media, including: Twitter And of course reddit. Since many of you are tracking several sites to find information about Ethereum, we have decided to publish all future announcements, including changes to the protocol or client, on this blog (the one you are reading now) . Lastly, if you need answers to technical questions, you will always be better served in the following forums: http://forum.ethereum.org/.
