2022-03-18 15:56:48 Update & Next Steps: The Grid Enhancement Proposal

Dear all,

We would like to thank the community for the support on last week’s Grid Enhancement Proposal. We are happy to announce that with 97% positive votes, we are now moving forward with this proposal and implementing all of the mentioned points as soon as possible.

Please keep in mind that this code adjustment on uptime requirements, as well as the rectification of last month’s payout (including the changed uptime requirements), will take some time.

1. Any missing payout for last months minting period - payout ASAP
2. Minting payout for March 2022 - payout 8th of April

As stated on the Grid Enhancement Proposal post, payout will happen on the 8th of April instead of the 5th of April to give us some more time to verify the process.

Kind regards,

The ThreeFold Team Open / Comment

2022-03-17 21:18:54 TF Grid 3 Billing Update

Since we are now moving more and more to Grid V3, we wanted to explain how the billing process works for deployments. Some highlights:

Grid V3 has implemented a post billing system, meaning you will get billed for the capacity you are using after you have deployed a workload. No need to spend unnecessarily for capacity you won't need.

We also provide discounts for workloads if your account has a certain amount of balance. This way you can enjoy cheaper deployments whilst you are holding TFT in your account.

Some helpful links:

- Get started on TF Grid 3
- Take advantage of the Weblet Playground
- Easily deploy Discourse & WordPress on the TF Grid

2022-03-15 17:55:02 Action Requested: Grid Enhancement Proposal

Hi friends, particularly those in the farming community –

As you many of you know by now, we came across a bug in the minting code which had a negative effect on some nodes on the TF Grid during last month's minting.

First of all, we want to thank the ThreeFold community for the way they reached out to us in regards to this.

These events sparked a discussion on the current uptime requirements and as a result of that, we created a forum post with a poll where the community can vote on the changes as suggested.

Please note that the poll will be closed on Friday March 18th at 8AM CET. If a minimum of 60% positive votes are achieved, we will implement these changes as soon as we can.

All the best,
