On the evening of July 31, Beijing time, Filecoin officially stated on the Slack social platform that the calibration network will be restarted on August 1, Beijing time, the testnet incentive competition code will be frozen, and the specific parameters of the economic model will continue to be adjusted and optimized before the mainnet goes live.
In order to ensure that more miners can meet the requirements of the testnet incentive competition (with a transaction success rate of more than 75%), the reward test that was originally launched in the week of August 3 is scheduled to start on August 6. The official said that even if most miners The transaction did not meet the requirements, and the official will still start the incentive competition for qualified miners on August 12 at the latest.
As of the publication of this article, very few nodes on the entire network can meet the requirements. The average transaction success rate of storage is only 3%, and the average transaction success rate of retrieval is only 37%. Postpone, according to the official statement, that is, the online reward test will be launched on August 12.
Unfortunately, Filecoin officials really have an excuse for two reasons.

One: The economic model has not yet been standardized
Earlier, Filecoin officially changed the code of the economic model, among which the majority of miners were surprised by the pre-stake, the mortgage mechanism is almost abnormal, the mortgage amount = a Sector’s 20-day mining income + 0.3* the current FIL circulation *A Sector accounts for the proportion of the effective computing power of the entire network. In addition, the encapsulated and mortgaged coins will be released linearly in 180 days, that is, 6 months. That is to say, the June quota of Filecoin's early investment institutions has been released. The first mine has not been released yet. According to this parameter, it is obvious that the miners will be "buried alive".
The official then conducts a "public opinion survey" and asks the community whether such parameters are feasible. Obviously, it is not feasible. Since it is not feasible, what is the significance of the reward test? what to do? postpone? It seems that this is the only way to go. The community "referendum" reward test (mainnet launch) has 3 time windows (manual dog head); or such a situation, the official question: Is it too long to mortgage 20 days of income and 180 days of linear release? up? The community is buzzing: yes, yes! The official said: But this is for the storage of real data on the network and security considerations, there is really no way, but considering the community miners, we decided to reduce this parameter to half (or other) mortgage 10-day income, 90-day linear release. The community applauded: the official is really wise. In fact, the official target parameter is to mortgage 10 days of income and 90 days of natural release. This kind of routine has been played badly by the officials. (Please move to the official routine: Does the official routine of Filecoin iterate following the technical iteration?)

Second: take care of more people to participate in incentive testing
The official person in charge of Filecoin has expressed his determination. Even if the vast majority of miners do not reach a 75% transaction success rate on August 12, they will open the reward test qualifications for satisfied miners.
If the reward test participates in the minority, that is, the purpose of the test cannot be achieved, or because the computing power of the entire network does not meet the corresponding requirements for unlocking, the interests of the miners participating in the test may also be damaged. This is not worthwhile business.
If the requirements are not met, what will happen to the miners who have been preparing for a long time? Obviously, they will petition the official to give as much time as possible to prepare, and the official will obey the public opinion and postpone the incentive test.
