@MrFox No source code and only just a binary, sounds a bit dangerous.

Good suggestion

We've restarted several times in the last few days - doesn't really do anything because network freezes on and off. Requires more than just restarts to fix this problem (like a new Gvite release).

But it seems to have stopped freezing now, for now. Will continue to monitor our SBP node and report back if there's anything else.

Other thing to note is that the missed block rate is extremely high right now. Restarting node doesn't do anything to fix that. This must be due to the unstable network. Most SBP nodes are currently in the 35-50% missed rate (when previously it was in the 94-98% range). For example, that's like earning 1000 Vite per day to 350 Vite per day.

@viteuser Yes you can convert from ERC20 to Testnet tokens (if you choose to do so at the risk of it being a testnet and non tradable until mainnet). Or you can await until mainnet and convert over from ERC20.

And yes 1 ERC20 Vite = 1 Testnet Vite

@viteuser That's not exactly correct. The tokens currently on exchanges are not the testnet tokens. The tradable ones are ERC-20 tokens - which is what is on the exchanges.

And well it's a testnet. For testing and implementing functions/features. Still in early testing and development stage. Things are bound to break but I'm sure they will get around to fixing it.

Now if the mainnet breaks, that's a different story

The testnet network is currently facing some issues - but devs are mostly all on a break due to the Chinese new year. Should be fixed when they come back.

@crypthusiast0 It depends on how much full nodes there are. Recently it's been ranging anywhere from around 19 to 25 Vite daily. But the rewards for today might be higher, not too sure. Noticed 600-700 full nodes yesterday but only around 5xx today.

@Allen Yes a comment has a maximum limit. And very small. But transactions are "free" so a user could send a million tx if they wanted to upload a million byte. I know this is not very likely but if it's doable, it will be done if someone really wants to do it.

@fooyidai Won't exactly be the same. For example, to convert ERC20 Vite to Testnet Vite, the converter executes the contract on your behalf, and sends it to a Ethereum blackhole address. It's a one way thing.

For Bitcoin, you can't exactly send it to a blackhole address. Because what happens if the user wants to withdraw their Bitcoin? So for cross-chains to work, there has to be a system/function in place (decentralized) to "lock or store" it up. This is for the user to be able to map their BTC on the Vite platform and also to give them the ability to withdraw their BTC if they wish to

@Allen In Vite, we have the option to include annotations/comment in tx. Seeing that it is kind of technically free to send a tx, what's to stop someone from uploading say a 100gb worth of data spread over millions of tx?

If it's possible, someone will do it. People already do it on Bitcoin (upload anti-Chinese material or random data) via OP_RETURN.
