Hard fork of the OctaSpace network is completed!
We did experience some issues following the fork, however they were successfully resolved.
What was the aim of the hard fork?
- Implementation of the new monetary policy as outlined in:
https://docs.octa.space/cryptocurrency/monetary-policyThis adds possibility to affect the reward distribution scheme and emission in total during the time and also activate the staking mechanism.
With the new release of go-octa, we also introduced the following changes:
* New bootnode located in New York USA, so in total we have 4 bootnodes in USA, Singapore and Europe
* Prevent of flooding of error messages during synching, it will save around 40% of disk space of logs for node operators
* Geth binary is starting to build for ubuntu 18.04 to be more compatible with old systems
* Default datadir is changed to ~/.octaspace to omit conflict with go-ethereum
