Sorry was not much active here can some explain what was the main reason for them to do a hard fork of the network? and is everything is alright right now? When is the hard fork scheduled for?
Thanks
Everything is alright. Hardfork is scheduled for September 23, 2020 (in about 3 days). https://medium.com/idena/idena-hard-fork-announcement-b8e36ee756bbMain reason? I was already writing here about changes. I'll quote it once again. 1. Introducing increased flip rewards
2. Flip reporting system improvement
3. Flip lottery improvement
4. Last 10 epochs results to calculate the total score
5. Invitations distribution improvement
6. Restricting the stake withdrawal address
7. Gas model for transaction fees
8. Peering improvement |

Unfortunately, AFAIK, smart-contracts aren't available in this hardfork.

No, that will be in a future fork. This is still the beginning, it is a new idea of a project so there will need to be many improvements as the time goes on and more problems arrive. |

I'm running the latest build in a VPS No, the maximum that will need to be done is to update the version of the node and the client. But just in case, it's better to keep an eye on updates. |

I got my first mining penalty  last night. Im not even sure what happened, when I woke up I checked and my vps node was off. I checked my logs and I did not see anything to cause it. I'm going to create a cronjob to avoid this in the future. |

Hi buddy, to avoid this problem in the future you can add your node to the telegram bot ( @idna_node_watcher_Bot ) and it will alert you when your node is inactive for more than 15min, this way you avoid the penalty. I have a cronjob in all my nodes to restart the server every 24 hours, it has never given me problems, I hope it helps you... restart the computer at 11AM every day "0 11 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r +5" |

But it works only if you are awake and near your PC since you have under 1h to restart the node. |

Everyone ready for today hardfork? It is planned from 12:30 to 13:30 UTC. All mining status will be deactivated. You will have to update node to start mining again (It's good to update ASAP to mine faster (with lower difficulty) before others update their nodes). Dear Idena community, We plan to release a new version of the Idena node tomorrow, on September 23, 2020, from 12:30 to 13:30 UTC. It will be a hard fork. The miner status for all validated nodes will be deactivated in the new version. Please be ready for the update. Planned changes: - Introducing increased flip rewards - Flip reporting system improvement - Flip lottery improvement - Last 10 epochs results to calculate the total score - Invitations distribution improvement - Restricting the stake withdrawal address - Gas model for transaction fees - Introducing predefined smart contracts - Peering improvement Please see the details here: https://medium.com/idena/idena-hard-fork-announcement-b8e36ee756bb |

It is going on in 32 minutes from this post. So, it will be/should be complete in 1 hour 32 minutes from this post. I am glad they are forcing all mining status off so it will be an easy transition. |

Thanks mate! Does anyone knows what "Restricting the stake withdrawal address" means? I saw is one of the hardfork features. |

This means that when you kill your identity the amount of coins in stake could be sent to any address such as the address of the exchange. But as it is not a "normal" transaction these coins do not reach the exchange, now it is limited to your own address only. |

I'm looking forward to the next validation and to see the increase in rewards, for us here, the validation is very important because it's additional coins and it's a guaranty that we can continue to mine, people should continue mining there will come a time when mining rewards will be lesser than what we are getting today. |
