The fix in 1.35.3 is successful and confirmed by many other SPOs that helped test. Looking good for #VasilHardFork @adamKDean @conraddit @HolgerCardano24 @AncientKraken is a rockstar for crafting this devilish test transaction.

I think I properly reproduced the bug that was in 1.35.2 that caused issues for testnet on the spo dev net going on right now. As of now, it does seem like 1.34.1 and 1.35.3 behave as expected in terms of smart contract usage. Everything is looking good. #cardano #VasilHardFork

The new 8.1.1 cardano-node is an incredible improvement. As many SPOs are reporting, BCSH pools also missed ZERO slot leader checks this epoch. There's still a few things missed with this update, but this performance improvement cannot be overstated. @IOHK_Charles @InputOutputHK

1/ The Cardano network is congested. In general, this is a good thing. It means that the network is being utilized. However, this creates a sort-of #CardanoArmsRace to get the transactions you care about onto the chain first.

cardano-node 8.1.2 has been released. Please update ASAP if you are on 8.1.1. There's a small regression in 8.1.1 so you don't want to stay on that version. If you're still on an earlier 1.35.7 you're ok, but you should still consider upgrading due to the performance improvements

@cryptorecruitr The problem isn't just about money, but technological and philosophical incompatibility. If USDC is willing to do it the "Cardano Way" as a native asset, then fine. If your USDC is just some datum in a contract that can be frozen, it won't work with existing defi.

The main difference between PoW like $BTC and PoS like $ADA, $DOT, etc. Is there is higher security with PoS. China can hurt $BTC because the security-generating asset (ASIC hardware) isn't mobile. With PoS, my keys can move anywhere as long as users trust me making blocks. #BCSH

I've upgraded all nodes to 1.35.6. One relay has been moved to P2P. If you are moving a relay that was previously using topologyUpdater, I recommend that you still send that relay's info to topologyUpdater even if you aren't using its topo file. It helps others find your node.
