Sharing this on as many channels as possible: Release is presently scheduled for 2024/10/10 at 11:00pm UTC. We are monitoring geomagnetic activity associated with an unexpectedly large solar flare that may impact data centers and especially residential users on commodity hardware/satellite internet. In order to ensure a fully fair launch for prover ring membership, if NOAA reports indicate sufficient concern, we will respond accordingly either with extending the stasis period itself, or pausing the initial launch until the storm's end, which is approximately on the afternoon of 2024/10/11. If this rescheduling happens, we will give a definitive updated time for the process to begin or the stasis lock period to end.

Update: After monitoring NOAA data, it is an extremely high likelihood that a G4-G5 geomagnetic storm event is expected to occur over the next 24-36 hours. This has a high risk of power outages in some regions, and memory/data corruption, especially on non-server grade hardware. Due to many node operators running on commodity hardware, the risk for data corruption is far higher than normal, and equal risk of prover ring entry message failure. To protect both the success of the network launch, prover key merging, and to ensure users do not risk key material or token loss, we are rescheduling the launch to begin 36 hours from the original date, to 2024/10/12 11am UTC, after the geomagnetic storm has dissipated. We strongly advise that users take backups of their .config directory immediately if they are not regularly doing so.
