Genesis ceremony started yesterday and concluded today.
The ceremony contained a file of RHOC balances based on a specified ETH block height as proof-of-concept that this will work for issuing REV with the launch of mainnet.
15 nodes were able to validate and send approval back to the bootstrap node. We knew going in that processing the genesis block was too slow and have work planned to improve the process.
Bootstrap node processed and showed the genesis block
At this time none of the 15 nodes have been able to process the genesis block and transition to a validating node on the network
Two nodes crashed with OOM errors
11 nodes are up and appear to be processing the block
Incentivized testnet
Work in progress to develop this program. Look for more information in Oct. and the start of the challenges around Dec.
