Updates @LithosProtocol
After this 3.0 update, we can work on emissions and then Lithos is ready for mainnet. It would be good to get miner feedback here.
3.0 coming soon.
- Finished all new Fraud Proofs added for security purposes.
In general Lithos is resistant against all critical attacks. There is however one class of attack we are trying to see if viable.
- Finished sync process for Miner Dictionary.
This is a separate dictionary which is storing information about miners, balances, and options (can be extended in the future).
- Lithos uses EIP-3 addresses now, mostly for more clarity for newer miners
- Lithos now uses a smaller NISP_WINDOW parameter, reduced down to about 2 hours before a block is mined.
This means miners must be mining within 2 hours of a block being found in order to be rewarded properly. The impact of this is that each miner's ideal diff value has changed.
- Updates to docs involving miner voting parameters, along with some additional NISP information
- All contracts have token distribution capabilities now, which will be used later when we decide emission parameters and discuss it a bit more.
-Fixing a sync bug with Miner Dictionary now then can release 3.0 after that's done.
There are still many improvements that can be made, however most of them are client-side improvements (more robust tx processing, persistent dbs for rollups and miner dictionary, pulling boxes from mempool, better stratum code, etc) and do not require consensus changes.
