Mining in TestNet

The following points of functionality have been implemented:

- An analysis of the stack of validator accounts for a round is conducted in order to distribute bonuses.

- The mechanism for delegating funds because of time - a refinement was made to calculate the delegation time and determine the user account's participation rate in the mining program during the writing stage of the transaction to the block.

- Implemented a procedure for saving bonus allocations in a block.

- Modified the functionality of sending information about a block to the API while taking into account the distribution of the bounty amount.

- The functionality of sending information about an account to the API, while taking into account the time and calculated coefficients, has been improved; it is currently being tested.

- The functionality of the displayed information about a unit on the monitor, while taking into account the distribution of the bonus amount, has been improved.

- Improved the functionality of displaying account information on the monitor while taking into account the time as well as calculated coefficients.

Testing goals:

- To detect bugs

- Collect comments and recommendations for the further implementation of improvements

- Verify that the functionality meets defined requirements

How to observe the tests?

To observe, simply follow this link: https://monitor.credits.com/mining-test/. On this page, you will find a list of newly created blocks and recently recorded transactions. If you follow the link to the transaction in the block that contains it, you will be able to see how the bounty paid to each of the Node validators was distributed.

If you follow the link to any validator’s account on the "Staking" tab, you will find all of the investors for this validator node, indicating the number of delegated funds, as well as the period of delegation (freezing) and the participation rate of each investor in the formation of the financial package of the validator node.

How to participate in the testing?

You can participate in the testing in two different ways: as a node owner or as an investor.

1. First of all, you need to create an account for the mining test network.

2. Contact the following addresses on Telegram to receive test coins for your test account https://t.me/botstorm, https://t.me/abc12d77

3. Create your node and join the mining test network by following the instructions:

https://developers.credits.com/documentation/node

4. Transfer funds to the account of your node or any node from the list as follows:

5. Simple transfer - funds leave your account (regular transaction), participation rate - 0.1 

6. Delegation on demand (a refund is made by using a delegated refund transaction, amount of refund <= amount of delegated funds), participation ratio - 0.1 

7. Delegation (freezing) until a certain time - funds are returned automatically at the time you specify, participation ratio - 0.25 - 1.0 depending on the freezing period.
