Dev Update Week of May 29th
-
Changes made through this week to the core wallet:
Bugs fixed:
- [Consensus/PoS] Fixed a PoS difficulty bug
- [Node] Fixed a bug that caused a reindex to fail due to checking block timestamp drift
- [Consensus/EVM] Fixed a bug where gas refunds were not properly validated in PoS blocks
- [Wallet] Fixed a bug where the wallet would try to spend coinstake coins before maturity
- [Consensus/AAL] Fixed a bug where contract transactions would fail validation after numerous sends from a contract
- [Consensus/EVM] Fixed a bug where contract suicides would create new state in the RLP
Work completed:
- [Consensus/PoS] Properly populate the PoS fields in the block header with data and validate that data
- [Node] Removed the need to fully validate the index for PoS blocks (this relies on transaction data and is not practical at reindex stage)
- [Consensus/PoS] Allow staking to happen before the last PoW block
- [Consensus/PoS] Removed 2 unneeded fields in the block header, fStake (can be deduced from other logic), and nStakeTime (always the same as block time now)
- [Consensus/PoS] Add rule that PoS data in the block header must exactly match the corresponding transaction data
In-progress work and soon to be fixed bugs:
- [Staking] Various bugs for the RPC interface for PoS staking
- [Staking] Staker should not be executed if there are no coins for staking
-
Any word when the test net will be released?
-
TestNet will release in 26 days and 20hours...
