+ | ===== January 29 2024 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here **Status Update** - Core Development - **Algo issue resolution.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are not quite done with the algo fix release. But we are close. This is by far the most important thing going on right now overall, and we are putting a LOT of time into it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At this point, it seems like **Stage 1 will be ready for release TOMORROW** - most likely about this time tomorrow. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please be patient as we ensure that the fix is 100% good in every way, and get it rolled out. We CANNOT rush this, as there is ZERO room for error. It MUST be done 100% correctly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Below are the **two stages required for the next 2 updates.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Stage 1** - take the network state back to the way it was prior to the too-sensitive-algo run. - This means all changes that the incorrect algo run made. Every account with a penalty assigned by the previous run, will go back to the way they were prior. **Blocks Minted Penalty will be set back to whatever it was prior to the previous run.** Chain state will go back to the way it was prior, and we will be ready to implement V2. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Stage 2** - Implement **SelfSponsorshipAlgoV2**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | These two updates **will require two separate releases, and two very complex and important modifications** that cannot be rushed. We must ensure that everything is done correctly in every way, as to ensure we can get the network to where it should be only, and ensuring there is no potential for network state confusion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thank you for your patience and understanding. Will make further announcements as necessary. | ||
+ | ===== January 21 2024 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here - After an entire day of reviewing data understanding the reasons for the ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - It was discovered that the algo can essentially be set to ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - All penalties from **yesterday' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - **Once the ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - There was a LOT of effort put into the algo initially, to ensure it would not catch those who were not self-sponsoring. however, the network state is different now, and the algo needs some updates to the data points in order to fit better with the current scenario. This will be taking place after the initial ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Essentially all that happened is that the algo was a bit 'too sensitive' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Those of you who have been around for a while probably realize that while there are sometimes issues with completely custom development within this community, and that things are always resolved. Those that are new, thank you for understanding the complexities. Apologies to everyone this issue affected. It will be resolved as soon as possible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== January 20 2024 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here **Self-Sponsorship Algo** was run again (as was always planned). | ||
+ | |||
+ | however, we have come across a few concerns with the results. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Right now, the **data is being compiled and organized and will be shared with the community. ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once this has taken place, there will be an **opportunity given to those that were penalized unfairly.** (If they can prove it.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | All data will be made public once it is made easier to read, and we will give details as far as how things will go from this point. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **If you believe your account was penalized without reason**, and **your algo score was under a certain number (TBD)**, you will be given a **chance to explain the data provided**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **if your explanation adds up with the data**, and explains the **reason for the incorrectly applied penalty**, a blocksMintedAdjustment (credit) for the penalty blocks, and the blocks missed during the time incorrectly penalized, will be provided after the next update. | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE - This opportunity is **not a chance for everyone who was penalized to come and complain**. It is a chance to obtain a blocksMintedAdjustment and reversal of the blocksMintedPenalty for those **who were ACTUALLY penalized unfairly.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | - **This will not apply to accounts with high algo scores. The algo's data is NOT incorrect, if your score was high you need not complain.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | - **The exact number for the chance to reverse will be decided once the data is compiled.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | - This is only being offered due to an **additional data point that had one incorrect detail** and definitely caused at least one incorrect penalty we have noticed. It did not make a dramatic difference, so accounts with high scores need not concern themselves with trying to have them reversed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Another post will be made as soon as the data is ready to be shared. Thank you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Discoveries thus far:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | - There was only **ONE new data point added**, and that data point incorrectly pegged addresses that were both SENDER AND RECEIVER of transfer_asset transactions. It was only supposed to count SENDER. Any account penalized for this reason will **be taken care of.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | (The methods for resolving accounts incorrectly penalized are being considered, and details regarding how that will take place, will be published as discovered) | ||
+ | |||
+ | - This was only supposed to be anohter multiplier added to the final score. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - The ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Attached is a list of **address-with-scores.txt** - This is pulled from the algo logs and shows the scores applied to various accounts, and their registered names. sponsors with a score of >0 were included in the penalties, along with all of their sponsees. This is going to be modified, as there should be a ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Further details compiled from the algo's log will be published as it is created, we are writing scripts to consolidate it and make it easier to read. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - The algo will be getting some tweaks, as they are obviously needed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - DO NOT WORRY - the accounts that were penalized without reason WILL be restored. The restoration just has to be done very carefully as to not cause further issues. We are going over the code now and have found multiple changes already that can and will be made. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Once the modifications to the algo take place, and its tolerance is adjusted, it will continue to be active, and have continual modifications over time to dial it in further. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - The details in regard to the ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Apologies for the inconveniece caused. | ||

+ | |||
+ | - **Older sent messages** can be **accessed** at the following link **%%qortal:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | - all **NEW sent messages** from this version on, will work correctly (since the bug was resolved.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **SAME THING GOES FOR OLD Q-MAIL THREADS** | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | - **Threads published with the old version of Q-Mail** will need to be accessed via **old-mail** app, and **re-published** if they are to remain visible in the new version. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | - It is suggested that any thread that the group wishes to keep, be **re-published in the new version of Q-Mail.** | ||
+ | |||

+ | ===== November 16 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here **Qortal Core Version 4.4.0** Has been released, and **auto-update has been signed.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Changes in this release: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Batch block reward distributions | ||
+ | |||
+ | Batch block reward distributions will be activated at blockheight 1508000. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once active, rewards are no longer distributed every block and instead are distributed every 1000th block. | ||
+ | This includes all fees from the distribution block and the previous 999 blocks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The online accounts used for the distribution are taken from one of the previous 25 blocks (e.g. blocks xxxx975-xxxx999). | ||
+ | The validation ensures that it is always the block with the highest number of online accounts in this range. | ||
+ | If this number of online accounts is shared by multiple blocks, it will pick the one with the lowest height. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Batch distribution blocks contain a copy of the online accounts from one of these 25 preceding blocks. | ||
+ | However, online account signatures and online accounts timestamp are excluded to save space. | ||
+ | The core will validate that the copy of online accounts is exactly matching those of the earlier validated block, and are therefore valid. | ||

+ | |||
+ | @here **Overall Qortal Development Status Update** - This announcement will be cut into multiple pieces so that it will fit within Discord Character Limits, apologies for that. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This announcement is to give the community a greater overall understanding of what **will be taking place within the next releases of the Qortal Core and UI** and so that they will know what to expect in the near future regarding the same. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Qortal Core Modifications Upcoming** | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. **New version of the Qortal Core** - focused on **performance** - This release will make the network performance go up DRAMATICALLY, | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Improvements on the ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - AlphaX has **updated and increased the number of available Electrum Network Nodes** for all supported ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - AlphaX has also **increased the number of ARRR lite node servers again**, making yet more potential connections available for the Qortal network. This should make the ARRR wallet in Qortal perform even better than it has been. The version of this has also been updated. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Modifications regarding how network ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - The **Qortal Minting System is getting some fairly large modifications** (these in the next release are **temporary, | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a response to this concern, the development group has decided **the following temporary modifications will be implemented** in order to **immediately increase the performance, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **The current method of doing minter payouts EVERY BLOCK is simply not able to scale well enough, and a modification is required**, as such, **the following changes will be taking place**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - **Minting will no longer be paying out every block**, instead, payouts will take place **every 1000 blocks**. Right now the minting system is the cause of a **significant portion of the processing required by Qortal overall**, to simply do minter payouts. Doing 7000+ minter payouts every block is **akin to doing 7000 transactions every block, but with no user-issued transactions**. You can read more on the Qortal git here - https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | - This modification is **not modifying any other aspect of the current method**, such as **minters will still be verified by way of a minter signature submitted to the network, and will still using the MemPoW**, etc... it will just not be ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are quite excited about the potential of these modifications, | ||

+ | |||
+ | - Fixed dynamic fee | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== September 1 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here - **ANNOUNCEMENT** - There was a **hard fork** that took place earlier today. This hard fork was successful and most people probably didn't even notice. (That' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This hard fork made the following modification (which is yet to be determined if it will be temporary or not, but needed to be done now while we address the other scalability concerns.): | ||
+ | |||
+ | - **MemPoW based transactions** (other than Q-Chat, and the Trade-Portal-based transactions) **are** now **DISABLED**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - **This means** that (at least for now) the **only publishing method that will function**, is **instant publish** (requiring a .01 QORT tx fee that is paid to the minters.) | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | - The **next release of the UI** will **remove MemPoW based options** from the affected transaction types. However, while we are still using version 4.3.2, this change has not been made, and if users attempt to publish with MemPoW, that publish attempt will NOT FUNCTION. | ||

+ | |||
+ | This page has some of the information, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The subscriptions are 10, 25, 50, and 100 dollars, paid on the 15th of each month. 100% will be given to Qortal development by way of either the DevFund (adding QORT to the DevFund) or payment for Qortal related services that require monthly payments. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The payment processing system will automatically **convert from any foreign currency to USD, so this is acceptable from anyone.** If you don't know how else to contribute, but you want to help the project, here is something you can do very easily. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the subscriptions get to a certain point, we will even be able to make a few more of our existing developers full time, and really start getting things moving more quickly! | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | @here - we no longer need anyone to set their **settings.json** to lower **minBlockchainPeers**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - If you have NOT changed the setting, no need to change it now. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - if you HAVE changed the setting, you MAY choose to **increase it to 2 or REMOVE it.** up to you. (REMOVING the setting is the 'best option' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - You may also choose to leave it at 1 for a while longer, totally up to you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (if you have MORE maxPeers, then it's more likely to work correctly with a higher number. If you are forced to use only OUTGOING connections, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Essentially, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Myself personally, I am going to increase all of my nodes to 2, then remove the setting after we get a few more changes made. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The choice, as always, is yours. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | For now, everyone will need to be patient and simply await the next updates, and hopefully now that the modifications made in the last update have been made active, we should start seeing a bit of an improvement within the next 6-8 hours. | ||
+ | |||
+ | in the immediate, things like creating minting keys, sending QORT, etc... are taking a long time to confirm, so they may seem like they are not working. Just wait, and they will confirm, there is just a delay right now. Hopefully the delay will improve shortly, and give us time to finish the next stages of the improvements. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== August 13 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here - step one in a multiple phase change to the Qortal core is now complete. **version 4.2.4** is the start of this. | ||

+ | |||
+ | @here - YES - we ARE aware of the issues on the network, we will have some suggestions shortly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | for now, the best thing you can do to start helping is... | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. stop your node | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. edit **settings.json** | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. **add or modify " | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4. start your node again and await further instructions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | REMEMBER - if the setting is NOT the LAST setting in your settings.json file, it needs to have a COMMA after it, if it IS the last setting, it does NOT need a comma. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Also - WINDOWS NODES, you will edit the **settings.json** in your **%localappdata%\Qortal** folder, the easiest way to get to that is to **right click the start button**, go to **Run** and in the **run command box** input | ||
+ | |||
+ | ```%localappdata%\Qortal``` | ||
+ | |||
+ | and push ENTER. This will open the folder for you, where the **correct settings.json** is located. Make sure if you're a windows user, you do NOT mess with your path settings. They are NECESSARY for Windows machines. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **I WILL POST ANOTHER COMMAND FOR EVERYONE TO RUN SHORTLY. Please do your best to pay attention, we NEED THE COMMUNITY' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **The following is only for Linux/Mac - Windoes can ONLY do the above part for now** | ||
+ | |||

Right now we could REALLY use some more experienced java developers, or experienced developers that are willing to learn java, if that is you, please reach out.) | ||

+ | |||
+ | If they did not, you can always **check your qortal folder for a ' | ||

+ | |||
+ | The idea behind this series is that people should watch the monday video, in **preparation for the Think Tank on Tuesday** - so that they will have questions to ask, and we can generate **more community engagement in the Think Tank videos on Tuesdays** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lately the Think Tank videos have been more like a Monday Update Video, so the decision was made to ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can find **MUV #1 - Monday Update Video - May 15th 2023** on **crowetic' | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | @here - THIS WEEEKEND - Qortal will be doing a very BIG update on the core side. This one I have been mentioning for a while, and will require some fairly significant changes to the current node options. Please read below, ESPECIALLY if you're running a topOnly node. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As of THIS SUNDAY - the 21st of May 2023 - Version 4.1.0 the following things will be taking place: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | 1. topOnly mode will no longer be a thing. - All nodes set in topOnly mode will need to MANUALLY CHANGE THEIR NODES BACK TO FULL NODES if they would like to continue running a node. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (We are leaving the potential for topOnly mode to 'come back' in the future, therefore any sort of ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - topOnly bootstrap creation will be disabled. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Full node databses will be dramatically smaller in size - Full nodes and their databases will be seeing a dramatic reduction in overall size. This is the ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - This change will take place by either bootstrapping or manually via an API call. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | 3. During this update a reshape will be REQUIRED, that during initial testing has been shown to take roughly 40 minutes on a raspberry pi node. This means that non-pi nodes with faster hardware should in theory be able to accomplish it more quickly, but there will be some time that isn't there with more ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Feel free to ask any questions and we will answer, and please share this information with node runners - Thank you! | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | @here quick correction to the above annoucement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | -FULL NODES will NOT see the smaller db autoamatically... **newly bootstrapped nodes will, and/or nodes that ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | -Changing to the smaller archive option will take a decent amount of time, **might be faster to bootstrap to make it happen**, but the choice is yours. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Apologies for the correction. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== May 10 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here there is a seller node with a broken trade at the bottom of the LTC books. We have come up with a method to prevent broken trades. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | that 18.9 order at the bottom will not work, auto buy will skip over it after the first failure, but as of the next core trades that fail will no longer be included in the list. | ||

+ | ===== May 8 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here **Qortal Core** version **4.0.3 has been signed.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **changes include: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Avoid duplicate concurrent QDN builds. Should fix building issues seen in apps. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Fixed slow QDN validation issue caused by loading the entire resource into memory. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Added optional " | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Log only the actions to the console, instead of the entire Q-App event. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Catch and log all exceptions when publishing data. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Added more debug logging when building resources. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This one should HUGELY improve **performance of QDN resources**. 🙂 | ||
+ | |||
+ | We're hoping to have the next UI update done today as well, but not 100% sure at this point if it will be possible today or tomorrow. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The next UI update is required before we can launch **Q-Mail Q-App** 🙂 | ||
+ | |||

+ | ===== May 6 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here **Qortal Core** version **4.0.2** auto-update has been signed. | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== May 3 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here **Qortal UI version 4.0.3 has been released** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Changes Include**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Resolved 'blank file' backup file save bug | ||
+ | - Added Check for update button | ||
+ | - Added Start core settings button (Under Notification settings) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Anyone who CREATED A NEW ACCOUNT in VERSION 4.0.2 should RE-CREATE THEIR BACKUP FILE from SETTINGS - SECURITY** | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | @here We just accidentally discovered an **EMERGENT BUG** affecting ALL OS VARIANTS OF THE **VERSION 4.0.2 QORTAL UI** THAT WERE TESTED | ||
+ | |||
+ | - When creating **AN ACCOUNT BACKUP FILE** the UI is **FAILING TO CREATE THEM and creating a BLANK FILE**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - **be aware of this if you're creating ANY BACKUP FILES WITH VERSION 4.0.2 THEY WILL BE BLANK!** | ||
+ | |||
+ | - the 'save to this browser' | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are **working on an IMMEDIATE BUG FIX** for this ASAP... but everyone needs to be aware of this issue... as we just accidentally lost access to an account (and name on it) being created to show someone something a few minutes ago. While deleting the copy saved to the UI to rename it, and expecting the backup file was fine like it always was, it was not. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **UNTIL WE FIX THIS - DO NOT CREATE BACKUP FILES WITH THIS VERSION, AND DO NOT REMOVE ANY SAVED ACCOUNTS FROM YOUR UI IF YOU CREATED THEM WITH THIS VERSION, IF YOU DO YOU WILL HAVE LOST ACCESS TO THE ACCOUNT. *unless you also had the seedphrase* ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Affected = **version 4.0.2 of the Qortal UI** - ONLY **backup FILE saving is affected**. Acounts saved in the UI are okay. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We will get this taken care of ASAP and post when next release is complete. Thank you, and apologies for the inconvenience... nothing (other than the 'save as' dialog box not coming up that was fixed) was modified regarding the backup file saving... so this is very strange and unexpected. We appreciate your understanding as we resolve this issue. | ||

+ | ===== March 9 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here - Just an FYI regarding the **messages currently being displayed in Q-Chat**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **a bug** has been discovered that allows **messages WITH REACTIONS** to **APPEAR** to be **coming from another user**. This is **not the actual case** and it is due to the method currently being utilized for **Q-Chat REACTIONS**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Until the next release of the UI** is completed, **treat any message WITH A REACTION in Q-Chat as ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | (You can see the user who is ACTUALLY sending the message, by checking who REACTED to it. The user currently spamming Q-Chat goes by the name 'The Love' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The messages are only APPEARING to come from other users, and are not actually being sent by that user. (**It is impossible to actually SEND a message from another user**, this bug is a **DISPLAY bug due to the methods currently utilized for sending reactions**, | ||
+ | |||
+ | An **updated version of the Qortal UI** should be ready within 24 hours. Until then, thank you and please let everyone know the above information. | ||

+ | ===== February 24 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here This is some **VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION for Qortal Users to READ** - from our **amazing lead core developer, CalDescent.** - I think understanding the nature of the platform, and how much goes into its development is a really good idea for people to at least partially understand. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Reading this information I think should give at least a very small idea of just how difficult and tedious developing a platform like Qortal really is... | ||
+ | |||
+ | And this doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | I just think it's a great idea for people to read this and get at least some idea of the skill and dedication it takes to be a developer of Qortal. There are multiple reasons why there is nothing else like Qortal that exists in the world, or ever has existed. This will give at least a very small portion of that reasoning to people. | ||
+ | |||
+ | please read this information and have the smallest idea of the AMAZING TALENT that we have with us, and give SERIOUS RESPECT to those who put their time/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thank you! | ||
+ | -crowetic | ||
+ | |||
+ | from CalDescent: | ||
+ | There are two parts to a blockchain system - the blocks themselves, and the derived state from these blocks (often referred to as the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | During these re-orgs, it will orphan (remove) the existing version of the block from the local chain, and then process (apply) the new block candidate. Each time a block is orphaned, the derived state from that block is also reversed. The idea is that for every block that is processed, the exact reverse must happen when it is orphaned. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If there is even a subtle difference between the state that is applied when processing, vs the state that is undone when orphaning, the node's local chainstate will drift slightly. Since every node is building their chainstate via a different path (i.e. different block candidates are processed and orphaned along the way) each node can end up with slightly differing chain states as result of such a bug. Some nodes might see the state of an account or database table slightly differently to other nodes, based on the paths that these nodes took when syncing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then, in the future, a transaction may come along that depends on this state. Due to the differences, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The really difficult part is that there' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Qortal is an incredibly complicated system, with over 40 different transaction types. Compare that to most crypto projects which only really have one type (payment) - or at least just a few variations of the payment type. Qortal' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Qortal' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In a project like this, there is zero room for error when it comes to the foundational code. And we need a lot more core development/ | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== February 23 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here - just so that everyone knows, the previous announcements about fixing the stuck block are no longer required, as we have released a new version. You can simply download the newly released version, and/or bootstrap and auto-update. | ||

+ | The ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== February 22 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here - core version **3.8.9 auto-update** has been signed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This version is a bugfix to handle the stuck block issue. (Update Name transaction with name the same as the updated name.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Grab latest jar here https:// | ||
+ | and bootstrap if you are still stuck. | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here We tracked down the problem to a bug in the UPDATE_NAME code that has always been there. It's only come to the surface this week as it is now being used more heavily (previously it was accessible via the API only). | ||
+ | |||
+ | instructions below. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I have made the process slightly easier, and have created two simple guides. Here you are... | ||
+ | |||
+ | **linux/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. stop Qortal | ||
+ | |||
+ | cd && cd qortal && ./stop.sh | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. remove existing qortal.jar and replace with pre-release jar, then start Qortal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | rm qortal.jar && curl -L -O https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Windows Users** | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. stop Qortal - Right click on Qortal icon and click ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. download the fix jar - https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | cut and paste the fix jar from Downloads folder to | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | note - an easy way to access the folders (both folders) is to use the following method. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. right click the start button | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. click Run | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. enter either location above into the run box | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4. push enter | ||
+ | |||
+ | this will open the folder for each location, making it quite simple to follow the above instructions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Let us know if you have any issues. | ||
+ | ===== February 21 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | @here - ATTENTION - please be aware that the chain is currently stalled. This is the second time in history that this has happened. We will have more information and the solution as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience. Will update ASAP. | ||
+ | |||
+ | note - this will not cause any negative affects overall or any issues other than the obvious fact that the chain is currently not moving, and as such no new transactions will be able to be processed until it is resolved. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thank you for the understanding - we will post more when we have a clearer picture and solutions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== February 20 2023 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here - as you may have noticed, the network is a bit... confused at the moment. There was a transaction that the network couldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | We have released **version 3.8.7** to address the issues, but many nodes have not seemed to update. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Please update your nodes to 3.8.7** if you haven' | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are likely to be pushing at least 1 more update today to try to assist the network in settling down, but the more people who update their nodes to 3.8.7 now the better. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== December 5 2022 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our original core coder and founder catbref has been working on the lottery AT for Qortal for a while now, and he has recently deployed the first TEST AT . | ||
+ | |||
+ | +The Qortal AT system | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Qortal ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | +The functionality of the AT system | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Qortal AT system has a TON of existing functionality that has been tested on multiple other blockchains, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The first use case we built, was ACCT for Cross-Chain trades (REAL cross-chain trades that we use in the Trade Portal) | ||
+ | |||
+ | But there is a LOT of OTHER FUNCTIONALITY that can take place utilizing ATs, such as ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | the AT system is a TURING COMPLETE CUSTOM WRITTEN HARDWARE LEVEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. With this language being turing complete, it means that it is basically ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | As time goes on, MANY MORE ATs will be built for Qortal, and able to be utilized. But it takes time to develop and test, and the UI components must be built as well, in order to allow other users to make use of the created ATs, deploy them, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Writing ATs requires learning the custom language, or utilizing an 'AT generator' | ||
+ | |||
+ | +The first Lottery AT test on Qortal | ||
+ | |||
+ | catbref, who is our original core coder before Cal took over the majority of the core work, and a Qortal founder, has developed a LOTTERY AT for Qortal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This Lottery AT, is a FULLY DECENTRALIZED AUTOMATED LOTTERY wherein users can send QORT to the AT address, in increments of 10 QORT, and receive a TICKET for doing so. The lottery then randomly draws one of the submitted ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | +Differences between other AT-powered lottery systems you may have seen | ||
+ | |||
+ | As mentioned before, since Qortal is a completely CUSTOM platform, previously existing ATs for chains like BURST and QORA, will NOT function directly on Qortal. Therefore custom effort and development is required. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One of the differences between the QORTAL LOTTERY and others, is that ONLY ONE TICKET IS RECOGNIZED PER ACCOUNT. (As there was no way to guarantee fairness with multiple tickets being submitted from a single account with the Qortal lottery AT) | ||
+ | |||
+ | +How to ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to buy a ' | ||
+ | send 10 QORT to AWLgebzHMTEjkDPghahc28dvmJS4dyht88 to enter. Amounts over 10 QORT and multiple payments DO NOT increase chance of winning. AT balance paid to winner at block ~1087100. | ||
+ | |||
+ | if you wish to inspect the code yourself, as with everything on Qortal, the code for the lottery AT is open source and the link to that code is below. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Enjoy testing the new lottery AT on Qortal, and may the odds be ever in your favor : | ||
+ | |||
+ | You CAN submit a ticket ONCE from ANY account, you just can't submit more than ONE from EACH. Hope everyone enjoys this, and the UI side will come in the future. | ||

+ | |||
+ | But from what I can see it is working as expected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | https:// | ||

+ | |||
+ | @here bootstrap server is back online, still waiting on the very large Qortal Cloud disk to copy, will update again once that is completed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== September 28th 2022 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Files are being copied back to the hypervisor now, everything should be fully back online sometime tomorrow. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== September 27th 2022 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here Hello again - During the time that the Qortal Cloud server will be down - We have created another location to download the QortalOS images for raspberry pi. (We will also provide these links on the github releases page, but wanted everyone to be aware of them.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | QortalOS-torchieMATE-64bit-QORTector (32GB) (core auto-start and db included) - https:// | ||

+ | |||
+ | Thank you for your understanding as we resolve the issues on the Qortal Cloud hypervisor. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ———————————————————————————— | ||
+ | |||
+ | Separate but related announcement... | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | also, please be aware that the VM that does the main creation of the bootstraps, was also on this hypervisor - this means that the bootstraps may be a few days old by the time we re-configure the bootstrap server VM and get everything back automated. This is to be expected for the next few days while this hypervisor issue is being resolved. Thank you! | ||
+ | |||
+ | We anxiously await the day that these things can be handled on QDN. 🙂 | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== September 26th 2022 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here - The Qortal cloud server will be going down for some maintenance - This is the location for downloading the QortalOS images. The maintenance should not take that long. Bootstrap server 1 will also be going down for some maintenance. Both should be back online shortly. (It will be really nice when we no longer have to use these servers for data, and everything can be hosted on QDN, that will be pretty soon!) | ||
+ | |||
+ | (there may be a couple outages for each server, as there are two sets of maintenance going on. It should all be completed in less than 30 minutes.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | okay so there was more maintenance than I thought, there is actually a hard disk issue on the underlying hypervisor... so at this point I don't know exactly how long it will take to fix, I'll keep everyone updated, if necessary I'll put up a backup location for the image downloads, sorry for the inconvenience, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== September 24th 2022 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here - Today our awesome devs have found a bug related to the trade portal and loading times for orders. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Long order load times have been an issue for quite a while. with the fix they now load instantly! | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is a change on both the core and UI side, so we will have to plan releases on both to fully handle it, but I just wanted to let everyone know it was coming. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Long order load times was a big pain, especially for certain users, we'll be very happy to have that removed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Will post again when we have planned the bug fix releases for both UI and core, thanks! | ||

+ | https:// | ||

+ | @here The more people we have with the MemPoW ENABLED for TESTING, the better. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Right now we are testing the MemPoW algo before it gets ENFORCED in Qortal consensus for minting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - We have enabled the MemPoW in TESTING mode so that people can test it and give us results on different hardware configurations, | ||
+ | |||
+ | - The more results we have of various hardware configurations, | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Contrary to the NAME, the MemPoW does NOT use a lot of RAM. It is focused more on memory BANDWIDTH and uses only ~1MB of RAM, so don't worry about it 'using up your memory' | ||
+ | |||
+ | - We need as many results from as many people with different hardware configurations as possible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | please put these settings into your settings.json file, then restart your Qortal Core, in order to start testing the MemPoW during minting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you would like to also remove your logs to start with fresh logs when you do this, that would be a good idea. Then save your logs from the point you enabled the MemPoW so that you can send the logs to us after whatever period of time, along with your system specs (processor, CPU, RAM, overall computer information - is it a desktop, laptop, server, SBC, etc...) so that we can evaluate the results and take them into consideration. | ||

+ | |||
+ | @here Qortal Core version 3.5.0 auto-update has been signed 🙂 | ||
+ | Network will begin updating shortly. 🙂 | ||
+ | |||
+ | this update includes further networking improvements, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The UI update will follow (most likely tomorrow) and implement the visible ARRR functionality! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ARRR mateys! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== August 19th 2022 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | @here We are doing the final dev testing of the ARRR integration now! | ||
+ | |||
+ | both a fully functional ARRR wallet (with memo field) and ARRR-QORT cross-chain trades will be possible once we finish the testing and make it live. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our customized ARRR libraries will be hosted on QDN and downloaded upon access of the ARRR wallet inside the Qortal UI. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The ARRR wallet will be similar to the other wallets in that it will ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are very excited about this long-planned integration being near complete! | ||
+ | |||
+ | I will post more as the testing continues and we are ready to push it live | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | This integration was NOT SIMPLE, and required some SERIOUS DEV SKILL to build, if you would like to show your ❤️ to the devs, you can do so by sending QORT to | ||
+ | DevFund | ||
+ | - or of course, by directly supporting the devs individually. 🙂 Here's to the future and ARRR/QORT combined community support and collaboration! | ||
+ | another note - the INITIAL support for ARRR, due to multiple difficulties in this area, will be 64bit only - which unfortunately means that the existing QORTectors will not be able to use the ARRR wallet YET... | ||
+ | |||
+ | We will be continually looking into getting 32bit support, and I think we will probably be able to make it happen in the future... and we are also looking into making the next release of the pi 4 (QORTector Gen 2) OS 64bit... though that will require a re-image of the devices at the moment, since we do not yet have an apt repo to do the main kernel updates. | ||
+ | |||
+ | That apt repo WILL come in the future, and so will 64bit OS, and the Gen 3 QORTector will be 64bit to start with. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We apologize for this temporary inconvenience, | ||

There will be further proposals in the future regarding the founder tier, but due to technical issues they can't be proposed quite yet. We are also going to want to make these changes AFTER the real voting system goes into effect, which means the self-sponsorship changes must be done first. | There will be further proposals in the future regarding the founder tier, but due to technical issues they can't be proposed quite yet.
