Filecoin officially announced that the mainnet will be officially launched when the block height reaches 148888. As of now, the Filecoin block height has reached 134613. According to the calculation that Filecoin adds one block every 30 seconds on average, the Filecoin mainnet will most likely be officially launched on October 15th, Beijing time. Next, let's take a look at what progress Filecoin has made on the eve of the launch of the Filecoin mainnet? On September 25, Beijing time, Filecoin official momack2 announced in the Slack channel that Lotus will be upgraded to version 0.8.0, which can reduce the WindowPost failure rate of FIP0002 and the cost of miner failures, and repair the damage to miner sectors caused by CC upgrade errors. Juan holds online tea party
On September 28, Juan, the founder of Protocol Labs, said that he would hold an online tea party and have private calls with the top miner team in SR1 before the launch of the Filecoin mainnet. On October 1, the Filecoin team held another AMA and revealed in the AMA that they plan to migrate "all" sectors encapsulated by miners in Space Race 1 and 2 to the main network. The staked coins and block rewards obtained in these sectors will also be transferred to the main network to reward those miners who helped the Filecoin network with stress testing and protocol improvements during the Space Race. On October 8, Filecoin officially released the Lotus 0.9.0 version and called on miners to complete the upgrade of this version before the block height reaches 130800. This version has the upgrade function of spec actors, which can repair the miner node status interruption caused by CCUpgrade errors, and can add the function of changing the node owner address. In addition, according to the message released by momack2 in Slack, after the Lotus version upgrade is completed, the miner node number will be changed from "t0" to "f0". Taking the "t02770" node of Spacetime Cloud as an example, "t02770" will be changed to "f02770", and any information such as the corresponding sectors and block rewards in the account will be translated to the new node accordingly. The miner node number changes from "t" starting with the testnet to "f" starting with filecoin, which also marks that the Filecoin mainnet is about to be launched~ On October 10, Filecoin official Magik6k posted on Slack that Lotus 0.9.1 version has been released, which fixes a serious bug in the migration of v2 actors and can effectively solve the node synchronization problem.
