Node Upgrade Alert! Time to Update Again!

Development Updates
1

Hi All,

It’s upgrade time again!

Hot on the heels of the latest Network which helped create our largest network yet (over 106,000 nodes!) we have yet another upgrade to boost things even further.

Here’s what you need to do now:

If you are a CLI user, you should upgrade your nodes, no need to reset them. Here’s a short guide on best practices when doing that.

If you are a Node Launchpad User, you simply need to reset your nodes as you did last time.

This will be a seamless upgrade—so no pause in uploads or nanos—but please do update as soon as you get the chance.

Many thanks! And happy nano hunting!

It fixes an error that was preventing some home nodes from earning.

Just to make sure, no need to download anything?

Nope, no need. Upgrading via the CLI, or resetting via the launchpad will do that all for you.

My wee home nodes got some more nanos this morning.

A great feeling for many other too I’m sure.

And this netowrk is really taking off too. 115,000 nodes and climbing!

Here’s all the beta iterations so far, with the latest in orange there:

But after resetting, and restarting my device, how do I start the launchpad? I have the file with the version node-launchpad-0.3.14-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl in a folder on my desktop. Do I just start that? Or is there a newer version somewhere?

Resetting the launchpad will automatically install the new node v0.111.1

A-ha!

So we have versions of the Launchpad, that are visible to us, and the actual node is just out of sight somewhere. The Launchpad takes care of the actual node upgrade, and upgrading the Launchpad is a separate thing, gotcha!

Last time I think we had the upgrade of the Launchpad at the same time with the node / network upgrade and now I got confused.

Yeah, the tend to be bundled together at the moment, but more tactical separate releases likely as things ramp up

I don’t think I’ll earn enough nanos in time to make the cut for the Wave 1 final tally! :disappointed_relieved: That said, my 20 nodes are humming along nicely, so I’m still happy with the progress. :heart_on_fire:

Who from Maidsafe is willing to say under oath that a secret partner or 2 testing is not the reason for this insane number.

Funny though… there are still a few thousand nodes sitting on the old networks…

Come on folks, make sure you reset those puppies and join the party!

Guilty as charged. Sorry. Yesterday was very busy. Couple hours and I’ll join the 111.1 brigade.
