After the soft launch, please check out some noteworthy updates below. This will probably only be of interest to the more advanced users among you – if you’re not a miner, there’s nothing you can take.
Change the afternoon in two hours
Let’s start with a quick heads up for miners, the network will switch epochs in about two hours. If you are using a geth/ethminer pool, you should be prepared if you choose to use — autodag Science on Geth and -No pre-account On itminer. If not, watch the miners as they create day. Report all problems to any of… He goes or C++ Repository version, depending on the client you are using.
Note that some AMD cards will require GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=95 supports the DAG size is larger.
Client updates are on the horizon.
Within the next few days, we will see the limit of 5,000 gas per block lifted. We will be working with a 3M gas target (3,141,592, or pi million as it is affectionately called) per block from now on.
Remember that the protocol sets the limits by how much the gas limit increases (or decreases) for each block, and that miners can only adjust their own parameters within these limits.
The maximum increase (or decrease) is set by the protocol at the original gas limit /1024. With the default parameter not affected by miners, it would take at least 6 hours to scale up from the current 5k gas per block to the point that allows transactions (21,000 gas is required for a simple transaction on Ethereum).
Of course, statistically speaking, the more miners update their clients when an update is released, the faster the network will reach the 3M target (minimum 28 hours). So, if you are mining, keep an eye on the releases of both C++ And He goes customers and make sure to update as soon as they arrive.
The default gas price is set at 50 Shannon
The default gas price is set at 50 Shannon (0.05 Zappos, or 0.00000005 ether). Remember that the gas price is always ultimately determined by the users requesting the contract, while miners can set a parameter on their machines to accept or ignore transactions that have a gas price within a certain range.
On the user side, we also have a built-in oracle that determines the optimal price for gas, which is determined by past gas usage. For example, if the previous block was less than 80% full, the oracle will adjust the gas price to a lower gas price recommendation.
Update on Olympic Rewards
We are currently compiling a list of Olympic winners and will process it over the coming weeks.
If you are expecting an Olympic Bonus and cannot make the A->B transaction I have you covered in one of my transactions Previous blog postsDon’t panic – you can still carry out this transaction on the Olympic Network.
Some of you have reported issues with keeping up with the Olympic blockchain technology – in this case, try the C++ client that syncs in less than 5 hours. Note that you may have to mine a few blocks for your transaction to go through, as miners have now understandably moved to Frontier.
Update on namereg
Once the thaw is over, we will look into adding a registered name contract. We’re not done with its behavior yet, and its (auction house-like) behavior probably deserves its own blog post. You can take a look at the current code posted at https://github.com/ethereum/dapp-bin/blob/master/registrar/registrar.sol.
Announcements will always be made on our blog
Thank you for your amazing support and sharing on social media, including Twitter And of course Reddit. Note that since many of you follow some sites for information about Ethereum, we have decided to make all announcements going forward – including change in protocol or clients – on this blog (which you are reading now). Finally, note that if you need answers to technical questions, you will always get better service through our forums at http://forum.ethereum.org/.
