Yeah, totaly fresh.  Trying to resnc.  Still doens't work

When's the next stress test?
These 251 SEM blocks were juicy 

Exchanges will happen after the official launch Q1 of 2018. For now you can trade via OTC. Careful with scammers!

Epic!  We will be rich soon.  Anyone selling be crazy.

A little bit explanation of recent stress test:

1. We're flooding the network with large scale of transactions (if we don't do this, hackers will do it eventually).
2. The current block limit is 5,000 txs per block. Validator nodes will the following minimum configuration should be capable of dealing this load, based on our experiments.
3. We will continue this task until the network can survive.


Common errors:

1. "Unable to retrieve your IP address"
We're using https://www.ipify.org/ to get your IP; if this proves to be not stable, we'll choose another API in next release.

2. "BAD_PROTOCOL"
This is because the peer you're connecting to is using an incompatible P2P protocol; please ignore it if you're using RC.2

3. "INVALID_HANDSHAKE"
This means the other peer failed to validate your handshake message, either signature or timestamp or IP is incorrect.

4. "BAD_PEER"
The network only allows one connection per IP; they refuse any further connections.

5. "DUPLICATE_PEER_ID"
This means your account is being used in another wallet instance.

How are validators forced to allocate resources for semux? now even if they are down, validator status only depends on votes.

Any new performance metric planned for next release?

yes ,i know xel project ,it is  really  a great project, but i think sem will be better then xel ,there is no donation for semux ,but xel have.

If validators are down, they wont be forging any blocks, missing the rewards. We are looking for other ways to provide incentive in running a stable validators. For now we are focusing on RC tests to ensure we get a more stable network.   

the development of Semux is really surprise ,the movement is running smoothly.

Yes we are happy that the network is able to handle 5000tx per block. Ultimately we want to be able to handle more than that and this can be achieved once we have more upscale validators.
