4 days ago, we saw Gridcoin's new PoS "stake v8 kernel" coming into effect...
- the necessity was due to e.g. also security issues
We saw how people:
- got stuck at block 1010000
- landed on at least 2 forks
- can not actually come onto "this blockchain" without a snapshot
- low network weight and difficulty
Soon...
- the time for getting the 35% magnitude boost is coming to an end...
We have again superblock problems (takes like 2 days; missing BOINC projects)...
- one SB fix is underway
But... 4 days later...
- we don't have yet a new Gridcoin version...
- or a new, official snapshot
This post is basically to find out your problems, moods, ... about all this.
If you experience bugs (e.g. your node doesn't respond, ...) please use the bugtracker.
I'd be also interested to hear stories from you about:
- how long did it take you to stake blocks in pre-v8, and now in v8?
- a) please provide also details like: how long your client was actually running without interruption since v8 came? and check that you are really running the new mandatory 3.6.0.2 version
- b) list your magnitude
- c) also list your stake weight (see here), and your DPOR weight
- Thank you for helping us understand what stakeV8 really brings upon us!
- keep also in mind: the net weight, ... is low on this chain currently, so your chances to stake will be now higher than when "the hordes" join this chain also
- see summary of 17-24 users in the table below, much red :-(
Share your positive + negative stories in the comments below, or find me on IRC or twitter

P.S.
- no matter what you do, check first that you run the mandatory 3.6.0.2 version
