What good news did Filecoin’s official AMA convey this week?

This article was originally written by IPFS Force Zone
With the launch of the space race and the approaching launch of the mainnet, the communication between Filecoin officials and the community has become increasingly close. This week's AMA was different from previous ones and was quietly held at 1:30 am Beijing time. Despite this, the participation rate was still high.

So, what are the official benefits of this AMA?

Space Race



This space race has been delayed again and again, causing various problems before it was launched. After it was launched, a bug was triggered right after it was launched. After it was finally fixed, a fancy DDoS attack started. The economic model change that everyone is most concerned about now...

In this AMA, the first thing mentioned was the message pool . Of course, those who are concerned about this issue should also know that the official announced in Slack last night that they have found the bug of Mpool and it is being fixed, so there is no need to worry about this problem .


Just a while ago, many miners were "crazy" @ the official in Slack because the messages could not be packaged and the computing power was greatly reduced. Therefore, the official checked and repaired it as quickly as possible.

The second thing to be mentioned is, of course, the economic model . Although the official has adjusted the parameters, its settings still have an impact on small and medium-sized miners.

In this regard, the official explanation is: the economic model does not actually have a particularly big impact on miners. Because under the economic model, both large and small miners are treated equally. What can distinguish the advantages is the hardware scale and technical level. Of course, large miners definitely have advantages over small and medium-sized miners in these aspects, but the official is also continuously reducing the weight of this advantage. For example, the more effective PoRep algorithm and sector encapsulation can run in parallel on a single machine.

Others are concerned about the disproportionate share of miners in Asia and the globalization of Filecoin .

Obviously, the authorities are also considering this, so when they found that other continents could not unlock the rewards, they immediately reduced the difficulty of unlocking . Of course, the authorities also hope that Filecoin can be globalized, and they have planned to set up a reward plan , the purpose of which is to reduce the proportion of Asian miners in the computing power of the Filecoin network.

So did this space race achieve the results that the authorities wanted?

Official statement: This competition has greatly exceeded expectations . We are testing the space race network very robustly, and the network is still growing at twice the expected speed. And even before the score adjustment, many miners had a transaction success rate close to 100%. We also learned about many bugs and UX improvements to make it easier for customers and smaller miners to operate.

Finally, we all know that next Tuesday is the last day of the space race. The official will hold the closing ceremony of the space race at 7 am. Those who are interested can participate~

Mainnet launch



Apart from the space race, the mainnet remains the center of attention.

In this AMA, the first question raised was when the mainnet would be launched . According to Filecoin’s official tradition, the answer is predictable: the tentative mainnet launch window will end on September 28, 2020, and of course, this time will be revised.


After the mainnet is launched, the network officials will continue to optimize and upgrade the network , such as new proof mechanisms, user-defined contracts, and node specifications, aiming to make the network more efficient in storage and retrieval, allowing more miners (both large and small) to join in.


Regarding the cost of miners participating in Filecoin , the official said that the changes in Gas fees and main network costs depend on the market , which they cannot control or predict. Of course, they are actively exploring more reasonable methods for allocating chain bandwidth resources to avoid maliciously raising Gas fees and causing market distortions.


Finally, let me end this article with an official appeal:
In the long run, participants should not regard protocol subsidies as their main income. The goal of all participants should be to provide high-quality storage-related goods and services to attract storage demand and transaction payments.
