Release mainnet1.6.1

Performance improvement: Skip handling a new minor block if its root block confirmation is too old.

Release mainnet-index1.6.1

Performance improvement: Skip handling a new minor block if its root block confirmation is too old. And set "ENABLE_TRANSACTION_HISTORY" = true

Release mainnet1.6.0

Disclaimer

This release involves consensus changes (explained below). To avoid wasting mining power, please upgrade the cluster to this release before Tuesday, Apr 12, 2022 00:04:00 AM GMT.

Updates

• * Add a self-adjusting mechanism to increase the network's hash power by lowering the effective difficulty for root chain PoSW stakers. (QCEP-7)
• Add support for connecting directly to each shard using WebSockets.

(Those items listed with asterisk * mean they are consensus changes and would lead to forks if clients are not updated accordingly.)

GPU mining shard ID

Instructions for Ethash GPU mining

ethminer -U http://$CLUSTER_IP:38391 --shard-id $SHARD_ID --cuda-devices $GPU_ID --farm-recheck $TIME --coinbase $COINBASE_ADDRESS

• CLUSTER_IP defines the IP for the Quarkchain cluster. If you want to try the one button quick mining, you can use fullnode.quarkchain.io or fullnode2.quarkchain.io.
• --shard-id defines one specify shard to mine. shard id 1, 10001, 20001, 30001, 40001, 50001 are Ethash.
• --cuda-devices defines specify GPUs to mine.
• --farm-recheck defines check interval in milliseconds for changed work. For example 1000.
• --coinbase defines your mining coinbase address. Please use 20 bytes address generated the same way as an Ethereum address.
• -U is for the CUDA GPU and -G is for the AMD GPU.

Chain	Shard	Hash Algo	Parameter for Ethminer shard ID
0	0	Ethash	1
1	0	Ethash	10001
2	0	Ethash	20001
3	0	Ethash	30001
4	0	Ethash	40001

CPU mining shard ID

Instructions for Qkchash CPU mining

./ethminer --farm http://$CLUSTER_IP:38391 --coinbase $COINBASE_ADDRESS -t <n> --shard-id $SHARD_ID

• CLUSTER_IP defines the IP for the Quarkchain cluster. If you want to try the one-button quick mining, you can use fullnode.quarkchain.io or fullnode2.quarkchain.io.
• --shard-id defines one specify shard to mine. shard id 60001 and 70001 are Qkchash.
• --coinbase defines your mining coinbase address. Please use 20 bytes address generated the same way as an Ethereum address.
• -t limits the number of CPU miners to n
