Why did the official suddenly announce that the reward would be increased to 4.6 million when the race was halfway through? !

Professionalism and focus, win-win cooperation

Beneath the iceberg and above the cloud, Filecoin is creating a new world.

On August 25, the Filecoin 425W Space Race was successfully launched. As of press time, according to the development team's 3-week (21-day) time period, it means that the Space Race is halfway through.

Just a few days ago, founder Juan Bennett posted a tweet, marveling at the fact that in just one week of SpaceRace, the total network computing power could reach 63PB.

In fact, since the first day of the space race, Filecoin's computing power list has reached an unprecedented growth rate, and a thousand waves have been aroused among the nodes in an instant.

According to the competition list on September 3:

• The total network computing power is close to 90PB

• 22 nodes with more than PB computing power

• The total number of accounts is about 16,200

• About 410 active nodes

• Registered nodes account for 25% of the total registered accounts

• Global regional rewards unlocked to reach 500,000 Fil

• About 3 million Fil are pledged in the whole network

As a stress test before the launch of the Filecoin mainnet, the Space Race is of great milestone significance. It is not only a heart-warming "gift package" given by the development team to global miners before the launch of the mainnet, but also the final network optimization for the technical geeks to prepare for the launch of the mainnet.

On the evening of September 2, the Filecoin development team released the latest news that a new global reward will be added, and the total reward for the space race will be upgraded to 4.6 million Fil . This message contains a lot of information, so why not take a look with the Lingdong community!

SpaceRace halfway point

Starting from the 25th, the average daily increase in computing power was about 1PB, and an obvious feature of the miner nodes participating in this competition was that there were many node groups.

Previously, the test network allowed a manufacturer to provide at most two nodes. This time, many manufacturers used node groups to run the list. This type of strategy is actually to obtain rewards in multiple continents. At the same time, many manufacturers have alliance manufacturers and cooperation platforms.

Official announcement of an additional 500,000 Fil rewards

On the evening of September 2, the Filecoin development team released a message on social media that the 1 million Fil rewards originally scheduled to be unlocked when the global computing power reaches 200PB have been upgraded to 1.5 million Fil, which means that the total reward has been upgraded to 4.6 million!

• What aspects will be affected?

The newly added 500,000 reward is a corresponding reward for global computing power. In a sense, it can be understood as a reward for the Asian region, because the computing power list is almost dominated by China, and only China can support the computing power list. Some nodes in other continents are actually from Chinese manufacturers or nodes that cooperate with Chinese manufacturers . This makes the already fiercely competitive nodes in the Asian region even more crazy.

In addition, although the global total computing power reached 90PiB as of September 3, it may be difficult to reach 200PB according to the time schedule. Therefore, new rewards are added to stimulate the top miners to increase computing power and complete the unlocking of global regional rewards.

Moreover, many continents may not be able to unlock the corresponding 500,000 Fil. If too little Fil is released, it may have a certain impact on the miners' pledge after the mainnet is launched.

In this way, many nodes will run computing power and obtain a large proportion of rewards, which may be a 30% increase in rewards under the original reward conditions.

• Welfare of small miners?

In addition to the new rewards, the official also gave some benefits to many small miners. For example, if miners who registered before September 2 can complete 10TiB after the end of the competition, they can get 1,000 Fil.

This is a good thing for many mining nodes that rank low in Asia, and nodes in other continents should also receive this reward.

• Hidden benefits to be determined?

At the same time, the official is also studying the reward mechanism for the best members of the community. The standards, reward quotas and amount of rewards are not mentioned, but the editor thinks that it should be given to those who have made contributions and are active in the community. It is reasonable to reward them according to their merits.

Global Community AMA Conference Call

In accordance with the schedule agenda released earlier, an online conference call for global community members was held on September 3.

The purpose of the conference call was to solve some problems that arose during the competition, which was equivalent to a review. Some were technical issues, and some were operational issues. One of them mentioned an illegal attack problem that many Chinese miners are currently facing, but it has not been effectively resolved.

However, we learned from the conference call that the mainnet code will be frozen soon. No new features will be added to the mainnet from September 4, and the code will be frozen on September 30. This means that the mainnet will be launched in October. I am looking forward to whether it will be chosen on October 1, which is also the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Pain makes people strong

From reaching the top on the first day of the competition to being attacked illegally continuously , Lingdong was not in a hurry to rebound on the computing power list. In a sense, being attacked was a good thing for Lingdong, because it was a test, which tested not only Lingdong's technical ability, but also Lingdong's character.

Being attacked is a sudden event and it will not happen only once. However, whether you can quickly discover and repair the problem after being attacked tests your coping and repair capabilities, as well as your attitude and calmness in the face of any unexpected events.

Many people say that the biggest difference between amateur and professional players is the difference in technique, which seems to be true, but the bigger difference is the attitude towards every result, especially when facing failure or falling behind.

Amateur players are still in the pain of the past, while professional players focus on the next game, because what happened in the past cannot be changed, and the more you dwell on the past, the more costs will increase and it will also affect the subsequent games, and the sunk costs are constantly increasing.

The correct way is to adjust quickly and have multiple response plans, while making defensive preparations for the future. In an open and competitive market, competition will make you stronger, and pain will make people powerful.

He who wears the crown must bear its weight.

The space race is only halfway through, and Smart Node is moving forward steadily. Let us wait and see!
