To fix the interquery timeout bug, Defund team is planning to start new chain at a clean state with snapshot of the current.

What will be fixed with this upgrade:
- Bring the chain back to normal tendermint sync speeds
- Bring down the storage the chain uses substantially

Proposal will be published soon

What you will have to do as validator?
I will make I guide with instructions to migrate from current to the new chain when its available.

Stay tuned!

Subspace have reached target of more than 3000 fully synced nodes. That means on-chain rewards will be enabled in next 48 hours. (Saturday, June 11, @ 3 PM UTC)

Team is aware that many community members are still in the process of syncing their nodes. As more nodes reach parity with the latest blocks, we expect the quality of peers to improve, reducing the average sync time. Team are also constantly working on improving the node client to reduce the RAM consumption and many other optimizations.

You can use the block explorer to check the latest block.

If your node happens to be far ahead in block number compared to what you see on the block explorer, it means you are on the wrong fork. The same is true if you see the following message on your terminal/logs: Node is running on non-canonical fork.

To fix this you will have to reset your node by following instruction in the guide

#subspace

Subspace have released latest snapshot, jun-13, which includes fixes to a frequently reported issue that results in nodes getting stuck and displaying a “Waiting for farmer to receive and acknowledge archived segment” warning.
