Helium network team resolves consensus error after 4-hour outage
The network downtime affected token transfers and miner rewards, but not devices during the 4-hour outage caused by a failure in the Consensus Group. The Internet of Things (IoT) blockchain Helium shut down for about 4 hours on July 11 due to validator outages from a software update, causing delayed transaction finality.During the outage, devices transferring data over the network were not affected, but miner rewards and token transfers were left pending. The team resolved the issue by skipping the blockchain forward by one block and resuming normal functions.At 10:20 am EDT, the Consensus....

Layer-2 Ethereum scaling solution Polygon has not produced a new block for over 11 hours, with developers attributing the issue to a technical upgrade on the network.On March 10 at 4:20 pm UTC, Polygon (MATIC) network developers notified users on the project’s forum that there would likely be downtime starting at about 5:50 pm UTC due to maintenance required on one of the network’s three layers. A recent upgrade is thought to have....
The Internet of Things blockchain Helium, encountered a 4-hour network outage early this week owing to validator troubles that happened after a software update. This software update also resulted in delay in transaction finality. This network congestion had directly caused hindrances in miner rewards and token transfers, these token transfers were incomplete due to the […]
The Filecoin network is recovering as miners upgrade to a new client after a four-hour network outage. Decentralized storage protocol Filecoin (FIL) came to a standstill on Dec. 19 as a bug caused instability on the network. According to a project status report issued by the Filecoin team: “The Filecoin network is halted with most nodes stuck at height 336459 with mismatched state compute error due to indeterminate behavior.”Based on the timeline given in the status update, it took less than four hours for the Filecoin dev team to fix the problem. As part of the solution, miners had to....
The transition to Solana would improve network scalability, which in turn would bring “significant economies of scale” to the network, according to Helium core devs. Internet of Things (IoT) blockchain network Helium could transition to the Solana blockchain following a new HIP 70 governance proposal launched on Aug. 30. The Helium core developers said the need to “improve operational efficiency and scalability” was required in order to bring “significant economies of scale” to the network. The Helium network operates by users installing a Helium Hotspot to provide decentralized wireless....
PRESS RELEASE. Helium Network developed a decentralized peer to peer wireless network, which can connect different compatible devices through a series of hotspots. By being a part of this network, people can earn cryptocurrencies (HNT). The Helium hotspot miner network is growing steadily. Hence, it is worthy to think about mining HNT. To help people with mining HNT, Helium Bar has developed an excellent solution. Helium.Bar is nothing but a helium network, which is made out of hotspot miners. Any person who is interested in HNT mining can take a look at it. Helium.Bar is one of the....
