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.

Unless the solar storm conditions are confirmed. Things are intensifying. Worst case scenario it moves by ~36 hours when it reduces to a G1. Right now we're looking at a G4-G5 which can really screw things up for a decent number of node operators running on residential setups

Thank you itโs incredible the level of dedication and patience to address potential issues like this even if it means a delay. Iโm so excited to set update my nodes tomorrow itโs always a fun learning experience to do stuff with them

People often don't know how extremely large solar flares can cause unbelievably weird things to happen, especially on commodity hardware which doesn't typically have error correction. Defense in depth against those quirks can only go so far when your own system lies to you about what your own private key is just by consequence of being unlucky. I used to run fleets of off the shelf hardware for various purposes, and one-in-a-million events starts to become every few months, but absurdly so in peak solar activity. (Hello, October 2003)
