But why you announce this mandatory thing just several days before launch?
Also if I run testnet node, after launch it turns out that I can't run mainnet node in such case?
Will be testnet node available for further running till achieving some milestone?
What are your plans for VSC testnet after launching VSC mainnet?
Testnet has already been deactivated from the L1. It is still running on the L2, but node runners will quickly switch over the mainnet. The testnet will be fully deactivated
That being said, we will be setting up another more specialized testnet later on for testing protocol upgrades, but for now we aren't doing that.
Ok it's clear now with L1 and L2
But if I'm running node now on the L2 after official launch can I run it further without 2000 hive or not?
Or I need to wait till this amount will be reduced?
Also if I decide to stop running node how quickly locked hive ammount will be unlocked?
Running a witness on mainnet requires 2000 Hive minimum to participate in consensus. When you unstake, it takes a minimum of 24h to unlock back to liquid Hive.
Adjusting it will allow for more "spammy" applications, but will also open up for enthusiastic users who haven't got a big chunk (myself included) 😁
!BBH
This has nothing to do with applications. It is strictly a requirement for running a witness node and participating in consensus. Smart contracts are very cheap to use.

My bad, think I had it mixed up in my head. Should probably sleep and then read it all again 😝
