Filecoin miners: It is too difficult, so many machines have been prepared, but there is no mine to mine

On September 9th, during the period of consolidation after the market plummeted, many leeks spontaneously reposted the picture below, and celebrated the "Currency Circle Leek Festival".

Green-headed leeks can also be regarded as a unique "cultural symbol" in the Chinese currency circle.

Interestingly, on Filecoin's official Slack channel today, Chinese miners once again made a reverse culture export in Chinese.

Filecoin is an overseas project with global participation. In normal times, everyone communicates in English. From code discussion to mechanism, it is peaceful and friendly.

But at around 5:30 this afternoon, on Filecoin’s Slack channel, there was a trend of miners “angrily swiping Chinese” to protest the official.

"It's all translated by Baidu, what else to translate?"

"Egg is used in English, and Chinese will be used in the future."

With the blessing of Liu Bei's expression pack of "continue to play music, continue to dance", Filecoin official member "momack2" played a black question mark face.

"Big brothers, it's almost over. If you really send Chinese, they can't understand it."

"If the problem is not resolved, speak Chinese firmly."

Obviously, these Chinese participants have encountered a problem, as a user named "niukongkong" in the above picture said, the miner's address has no money (coin).

It turns out that the miners' "temper" today comes from, "The official rebalanced the miner's account yesterday, and it was almost cleared to zero. Everyone has no coins to dig, and they have a free time [laughs and tears]." Pomegranates watching the scene Xu, the operator of the mining pool, said.

"It is said to simulate the real situation and the scarcity of coins."

It is understood that the Filecoin mining economic model has a design called pre-mortgage. All miners who participate in mining need to mortgage a certain amount of tokens. According to the Filecoin browserfilfox.infoAccording to the data, the current pre-stake rate is about 0.62FIL/Sector.

In fact, the insufficient supply of tokens required for pre-staking has been a problem since the Filecoin incentive testnet went live on August 25.

"Although the official has lowered the mortgage rate and opened the faucet to issue coins on a daily basis, there are still many miners who cannot get enough coins, and many have to go to Slack to 'beg' online." Li Bai, the chief developer of Pomegranate Pool, used to Tucao in the AMA.

It seems that the official control over the issuance of test coins directly determines the growth rate of miners and even network computing power, which is helpless. But Li Bai believes, "The official has now seen that the faucet coins are not enough, so it must be insufficient after the mainnet. I believe that these problems can be solved after the mainnet."

Regarding the series of measures that officials have taken to simulate the scarcity of tokens since yesterday, Li Bai said that "we can only respect the more prudent and thoughtful considerations of the officials."

Although many miners make complaints, it is more of a joke. After all, mining Filecoin top mines has never been an easy task.

"The official start time was selected at six o'clock in the morning (August 25th), which greatly affected sleep. Many of us got up at three or four o'clock that day, waiting for the deployment of nodes after going online, receiving test coins and other work. The result was not Thinking that the new network encountered a bug at a height of 101, and the block generation got stuck."

"Then there are many other bugs in the first version. The official released 4 versions a day, and they are constantly updating. Up to now, 7 versions have been released in a week, and there are still many follow-up updates and maintenance. something."

"Then there are network security issues and order acceptance issues. As you all know, there were many situations in the first few days when it was launched, so it has been in a state of constant rotation recently, constantly fixing bugs and coping with new situations."

In Li Bai's self-report, I believe everyone can feel the fatigue of the miners in the past two weeks.

As Li Bai said, "Blockchain is an open source, open, permissionless network, and it is also a community. The official and the miner community have always had a very close relationship. The two are actually a relationship of mutual cooperation but mutual game. , How to design this mechanism so that it can generate enough incentives without affecting the long-term development of the network due to the behavior of miners is a very difficult problem, so it is normal for both parties and even more people to participate, discuss and modify.”
