06/29 - PAI Hybrid Consensus Updates
PAI Hybrid Consensus
Here’s a snapshot 
of some of the commits / PRs and progress we made last week:
- Implemented minimum fee limit for stake creation, to allow proper revocation, if needed;
- Implemented a fee distribution policy, to allow revocation of stakes according to the contributor’s preferences when these are in conflict with the policy;
- Implemented unit tests for the new features;
- The above updates are available in the following Pull Request: https://github.com/projectpai/paicoin/pull/309
- Investigated and fixed an issue found in the new unit tests written for the auto-revoker: We uncovered an immutability issue in one of the structures responsible for managing stake transactions;
- In PAI Miner, we implemented a hash algorithm switch when hybrid consensus activation is detected;
- We began work on adding a Block Explorer container in a Kubernetes deployment of the Hybrid Consensus testnet.
On July 18, 2020, 10:00AM Beijing Time (July 17, 2020, 7:00PM PDT), PAI core contributors will be hosting an AMA to present and answer any questions regarding the PAI Hybrid Consensus.
