RE: Analysis of the Late Gridcoin Superblock and Suggested Solutions

in #gridcoin7 years ago (edited)

Would it not seem legit that maybe the issue also lays in the fact we just merged Rob's code with the #gridcoin community dev's code and merged the two code tree's. Since then we have had 1 if not 2 blackswans and instead of forking we are lucky enough to not get a superblock.. I would think since we were fine for months , and we had the same influx of users the past few weeks/months that seems a little weird to blame it on the number of new user beacons into the nn and the newbie block etc. IMO and no offense to the dev team , roll back the code pre merge and go from there back to 1 coder vs 5-6 additional. Yes this happens etc etc , but also Rob has in the past put in things like code time bombs and forgotten about them himself and caused us to fork , soooo this could be due to the merge of code either with the " consensus or quorum " issue being a result of something deeper. I am no dev , but when something breaks right after you change things completely and merge things the best fix is to remove the modifications and changes. ( btw , i love that to community is getting a change to get involved in dev and my hypothesis is nothing negative at them , they are much appreciated ) it's just how you would deal with it , if it was physically and tangible in your hands.

This is a bit negative. Before casting judgment I do believe these gentlemen have done some fine analysis - but, I would actually like to see the information that backs it up. How many new members? What's the magnitude of the issue - if we're going to blame it on scaling, then show us the scale. I would tend to agree with you, @jamezz, when we went up from $0.004 to $0.01, we added a lot of new users too - is that number smaller than the scaling issue that supposedly exists now?
