Professionalism and focus, win-win cooperation On December 20, the entire Filecoin community was excited by a piece of news that I believe you and I already knew. That is, there was a bug in the Filecoin network system. The official spokesperson "WHY" has released a system problem announcement on the social platform: For specific details, I believe everyone has seen this picture: System Bug : Filecoin's network computing power has collectively declined Some participants may not pay attention to or know about the Filecoin blockchain browser, but only care about their own Fil output. Since they are already involved, they should pay more attention to some related information. On the Filecoin blockchain browser, we can see the following: Because of a bug in the Filecoin system, the computing power of all nodes in the network dropped sharply. The above picture only shows the top 20 nodes, and all of them have dropped without exception. Therefore, those friends who question the manufacturers should know that this is not the fault of a certain manufacturer or a strength issue. Of course, Filecoin officials will fix the Deadline Map sorting problem in the system. All nodes only need to update the latest version of Lotus to correct it and gradually recover. Gas surge : may become the highest in Filecoin history What are the consequences when problems arise in the Filecoin system? First, it caused a collective decline in node computing power. Because the WindowPoSt message was not uploaded to the chain in time, computing power was lost, which would affect the FIL output of participants. I believe that many people asked about the reason for the decline in output yesterday, and then learned that there was a problem with the system. Solution: After participants wait for the official repair version, the node will be updated to gradually restore the computing power. Don't panic! Second, it caused the gas fee of the entire network to hit a new high. That is, the gas fee reached 11.63 nano FIL. Perhaps this value will become the highest value in a period of time, which will affect the output of FIL, but this is only temporary. You can refer to the gas fee trend of the Filecoin blockchain browser, the details are as follows: Solution: Wait for recovery and then gradually increase the computing power appropriately, and control the growth pace of computing power according to the gas fee situation. Third, it forces the development team to improve some message sorting issues in the upgraded source code. Perhaps in the future, there may be such synchronization issues, so the Filecoin development team may design some buffer mechanisms or trigger mechanisms instead of letting the nodes lose too much computing power. Of course, we hope that the development team can prepare for this in advance. There was a problem with the Slice sorting code in the Filecoin system. It used index 0-n comparison instead of Deadline value comparison, so an error occurred. Each window period of the Filecoin network is 30 minutes, which means that the node must recheck and calculate all sectors within the corresponding window period. This is the next task of the on-chain nodes to gradually restore computing power, and to restore it in the shortest possible time, otherwise the penalty mechanism may be triggered. Of course, this minor system bug will soon be ignored, as the problem will be fixed, computing power will continue to grow, and it will be just a minor episode. Long-term persistence: Filecoin is a long-term journey In fact, there was a decline in computing power during the space race, and the Filecoin network also needs to be gradually improved and evolved, and problems need to be discovered and corrected. This process requires the development team, on-chain nodes, technical developers, and community members to work together. The Filecoin network was not built overnight. It is a powerful step-by-step process, just like when we play games, from the beginning to gradually killing monsters and upgrading equipment, the attack power, defense power, and magic power are constantly growing. In this growth process, there will inevitably be some bumps and waves, and even some extremely difficult situations. Filecoin mining and the Filecoin ecosystem itself is a long-term journey. It took decades for the Internet to reach its current state since its birth, and all towering trees have gone through hundreds of years. Now that you are on this journey, be prepared for the long term, and like all successful people, keep moving forward and delay satisfaction. Smart Mindset: The Community of Interests Behind Transparency As a participant and builder of the IPFS/Filecoin ecosystem, Lingdong has always adhered to a transparent and open style of doing things. When encountering problems, it will openly discuss and solve them with all users. In the face of a sudden drop in computing power caused by a bug in the Filecoin network, Lingdong still maintains a good mentality and state. As the builder of the first node in the computing power list, Lingdong bears greater risks, but how can we know our resistance without facing strong winds, and how can we know our endurance without facing huge waves. Because Lingdong and all its users are a big ship in the Filecoin ecosystem, and form a community of interests with all participants. Since everyone has chosen the same path, in order to outperform competitors and reach the desired goals, we must have more patience, resilience, unity and self-upgrade capabilities. Since you have chosen the distant place, you should just focus on the journey regardless of wind and rain!
