So, I'd like to have my rewards qualified back because i ran nodes more than one month. [Latest Update] I found the root cause of "not available". Roshan will reproduce it. It caused by changing to new beacon node which cannot be sniffed by Monitor. refer to Discord message https://discord.com/channels/710198131870007377/755844810417373255/791189593482723348|Should be allowed to continue to Larvanet given the corrections and improvement| | hellobit#7160 | 0x6119848eEA803C3E8637e8Ad32eD5c9900D857dD | I have the same question about them，i saw them discuss，i run the node until today to shut down，i toally run the node by the guide document,but i can't get my info at dashboard,so i joined the offical cluster showed at guide document which is 35.197.83.116 . i am a poor student and buy a VPS with my 2 weeks' food fee ,sir could i get some bountary to feed myself,thanks!|Pass| | celia#9509 | 0x6e3528C9a4B068fC99d6136deA15D02fAd0d23B2 | I have the same issue of node "not availabe" on dashboard one week ago. I shut down my AWS EC2 server. now I've deployed new nodes which can show up on dashboard very well and get around 130 ms latency. But my rewards on IVD is disqualified now. I hope team can qualify my rewards again. I've been support and running nodes for very long time. thanks team's support!|Should be allowed to continue to Larvanet given the corrections and improvement| | heqing#9702 | 0x89d1465Daa1f9D37f5C7EFC9388E5fAaF0ED9c6D | Dear Siddhartha i think you are a very kindly and very responsible expert. My issue is i run the node for over a month but showed 0 at google form,it is unreasonable，because my address shown at dashboard even over 2000ms and the form shows over 2000ms still get the lowest bountary,so please help us!God bless you and your family!

Although I were awared of the flaw, I think there may be some other objective factors contributing to the high latencys, and my operation was successful.However the IVD results doc shows me the opposite result. I'd appreciate it if you could help solving the problems, and after that I wish I can get the rewards for my work in past few days .

A trivial attempt at optimizing blockchain networking through incentivization

Abstract Blockchains are inherently broadcast networks which means that every block published by a block-producer is propagated to all the other nodes in the network. In PoW chains, blocks are required to be propagated fast enough to keep orphan rates low. High orphan rates reduce security and also encourage centralization. On the other hand, PoS chains with 1-2 second block times restrict the size of the network to a few hundred nodes or lesser. Peer to peer networking, today, follows an unincentivized commons model which isn't incentive compatible for the parties involved. Full nodes in the network which are the backbone of decentralized and censorship-resistant propagation are not incentivized for the same in the absence of which block producers have conflicting interests when forwarding blocks. An unincentivized model further adds uncertainty onto the time by which blocks reach every interested party. We address these issues by proposing an incentivized and efficient relay networking protocol called Marlin Relay. Marlin Relay creates incentives for nodes in a network to compete with one another to propagate blocks. We believe that a blockchain-agnostic incentive-compatible relay network can increase the network-layer security of individual blockchains while also boosting their throughputs by pooling bandwidth resources and reducing tail latency. Introduction Blockchain is a replicated state machine with a consensus protocol for all the nodes to have a common view of the system. Each block added to the replicated state machine is broadcasted across the network to ensure consistent view. Blocks in PoW chains especially, have to be propagated fast enough so that the other miners mine on top of the latest block instead of mining at the same height as already mined. Blocks hop on a number of flaky nodes with unstable internet connections and pass through trans-continental submarine links as they make their way to other nodes spread across the globe. Unsurprisingly, the transmission requires some time (due to packet losses and consequent retransmissions) leading to the occasional discovery and transmission of a competing block at the same height in the midst known as forks. The occurrence of forks compromise open networks in two more ways:

Staking Guide

Summary This guide describes the steps required to: Register a cluster on the smart contract registry Delegate POND and MPond to clusters Update marlinctl and associate their instances with the cluster registered in Step 1 Points 1 and 3 are only meant for cluster operators. Token holders who do not operate their own cluster and only wish to delegate to other clusters can skip to the section associated with Point 2. This guide is best suited for folks with experience working directly with smart contracts. If you are not adept in the same, please wait for the frontend interface. Addresses required
