6pm UTC, the stasis lock lifts, and mainnet creates its genesis frames. Be sure to update!
17 days before I start listening to Christmas music nonstop. Those in earshot, you've been warned
Also please be sure if you are already on 2.0.0, make sure you upgrade to 2.0.0-p1 ahead of time, there are some important fixes and support for the updated qclient
We've got so many comms channels and it might be hard to keep up, so I want to remind folks of https://status.quilibrium.com for the most up to date info about releases, ETAs, maintenance, etc.

Geomagnetic storm put our 10/10 date for 2.0 on hold until 10/12 11am UTC (resi hw is especially at risk of erratic behavior during G4-G5 conditions, and risking exclusion of launch participation was not an acceptable condition). But now, we are clear skies, and 2.0 is launching in ~8 hours.

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.

This week at /quilibrium
The tail end of last week's testing revealed a showstopper that forced us to move the 2.0 launch date to 10/10. This week, we have had to do some rather insane surgery on the protocol to resolve the issue, and it has some important changes for the behavior of the network, but we're out of the thick of it. While it's not the 2.0 I originally envisioned, it's a release folks will be happy with. Well, maybe except for the people who were unhinged enough to send me death threats. I hope they find peace.

Do you have questions about the changes coming to Farcaster hubs? This thread might have some answers 🫡

This week at /quilibrium:
- final modfications and testing for 2.0 release
- big update prepared for documentation site, moving from main Q site to dedicated subdomain and being open sourced so we can get all guides merged into one source of truth
End of month draws near. 🙂

This week in building /quilibrium (Publishing early, thunderstorm inbound and will likely lose power tonight)
(On protocol)
- Incorporated domain separation of prover outputs (allows optionality in the event we have a graceful recursion proof that can be applied atop the MPC-in-the-head proofs)
- Dynamic fee market testing has held strong from last week, so we published an overview (and small ELI5): https://paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.com/dynamic-fee-markets
(Off protocol)
- We're reorganizing the documentation section of the site to be an open source repo detached from the main site and on a separate subdomain, will be less flashy, but also removes the heavy branded assets and bridge interface stuff so people can contribute to it instead of there needing to be so many unofficial guides.

It is no longer just breaking news for crypto that happens here, but now the rest of the world's news.
I had a strong philosophical difference of views about what should be done in the direction of crypto's future, which is what lead me to leave Coinbase. But I will say, without a shadow of a doubt, that Coinbase is being put through absolute FUD nonsense with this, and it's so obvious the origin of this attack is coming from one of the least trustworthy people in this industry.
Would you rather trust your wrapped BTC with:
1. An audited public company with extremely rigid security controls and compliance teams (cbBTC), or
2. Justin Sun holding enough keys to a multisig to control it at any time (wBTC)
And if your answer is genuinely 2, dear god why?
