The testnet of luck2-2poc has been deployed, and the test wallet has been published to the official website.
For some issues we have received by emails, we reply as follows:
1 Whether the test supported to windows system?
This testnet mining is only for linux machines, and windows will be provided after the mainnet launched.
2 Why do i need a hard drive of 1T and above?
The principle of the POC consensus mechanism is to write a large number of hash values in the hard disk in advance, and this process is called plotting. When mining, it searches the hard disk for "answers" instead of consuming a lot of calculations. 2POC as an upgrade of the POC consensus, still requires plotting.
At present, our optimization has reduced the consumption of some hard disks. In theory, hard disks with more than 256GB can also participate in mining, compared with large-capacity hard disks, there may be a slight disadvantage.
3 Is there a difference in wallet address between luck2-2poc and luck-2pow? Is there any replay protection?
Luck2-2poc and luck-2pow use the same format on the wallet address. luck2-2poc realizes the replay protection of transactions by setting different chainID.
4 What do the holders of luck-2pow need to do in luck2-2poc?
At present, luck2-2poc and luck-2pow use the same format on the wallet address, but different networks, so you only need to save the keystore file and private key. The same address will receive the same token compensation after the luck2-2poc mainnet launched.
5 How to participate in the test?
Please refer to the introduction in
https://github.com/luck-coin/luckcoin/blob/master/wiki/miner_test.md.
6 How do the accounts participating in the test get rewards in the mainnet?
We give priority to the 800 rewards for the 20 addresses that register first, and 400 rewards for the 30 addresses that register subsequently. For registered addresses, if there is no mining record in the test network, the corresponding rewards will be cancelled.
At present, we have received some test registration emails. We have been waiting for your registration and participation before the test is completed.
