Happy Friday everyone! 😎 We're closing the week with a fresh wallet release. v1.0.9 comes with some bug fixes, primarily to fix the issue some of you had viewing your rewards and delegation details in the wallet. Huge thanks to all of you for reporting the issue! If you run into a problem with the Nym wallet, our explorer, NymConnect, or any of our products, please let us know by filling out a bug report. Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone! Just to let you know that we are aware of the display issue some of you are experiencing when reading rewards in the wallet and we are working to fix it. So thank you for bearing with us while we work on the issue. In the meantime here is an update on what is happening and how we are fixing it. What is happening? - the validators in any Cosmos system have a setting that limits the amount of gas that a single query (or transaction) can consume - this limit is there to protect validators from processing queries that are too large that could bring the consensus process to a halt - the Nym wallet has to do a large query to retrieve rewarding data from the mixnet contract storage - this query exceeds to default gas query limit that the validator software ships with - NodesGuru has kindly increased the gas query limit on their validators to support this query - currently the Nym wallet makes all queries and broadcasts to https://rpc.nyx.nodes.guru - rpc.nyx.nodes.guru is a cluster of RPC nodes run by NodesGuru - from our testing, we can see that the gas query limit on one or more members of this cluster are not set high enough to successfully run the reward query that the wallet makes per mixnode delegation - when it runs out of gas, the wallet silently fails and does not show rewards for that mix node - when logging into the wallet, users are sometimes connected to a different node in the RPC cluster to balance the load, which is why sometimes the query succeeds (and rewards are visible) and other times they are not How is this being fixed? - Nym is creating a cluster of lite nodes (RPC nodes) to handle the wallet traffic - these will have a large gas query limit set so that the rewards query succeeds - we are working on making changes to the storage for the rewards in the mixnet contract, so that the query size will be much smaller in the future - there will be a new release of the wallet soon that will use this cluster. We believe the above changes should solve the wallet display issues. In the meantime if you are facing any other problem please do submit a bug report using this easy to fill form https://dyno.gg/form/bbec84eb (please do provide as much info as you can, i.e node id, wallet address, screenshots where possible). Thank you!

Please bear in mind that between 16:00 CET on Sept 6th and 03:00 on Sept 7th a universal compounding script has been run for efficiency reasons (with all gas fees paid for everyone by the network). This means the operators' and delegators' rewards have respectively been added to the bond and the delegation amounts. This change should solve the issue for some users who could not see rewards in their wallets due to rewards query running out of gas. As a result those who could see rewards, the "Reward" number in the wallet has decreased vs previously but the "Bond" or "Delegation" have increased. This was done node by node, so the totals may have been confusing during the (long running) process. The Delegation dates have also been reset to Sept 6th or Sept 7th, depending on the node. We hope this has not inconvenienced our community too much.

🚨🚨🚨Hey all! This mixnode: https://mixnet.explorers.guru/mixnode/E25vA4WAuaHcKVQvMfWRBaqLGSuDtRAetfmNZEBrM3fx has increased commission rates from 5% to 50%. If you want and if you have a delegated tokens to that mixnode, you can undelegate them and delegate to another mixnode operators.

ACT NOW - apply to the Kyiv Tech Summit Hackathon! A hard problem in efforts to document war crimes is to allow witnesses to upload evidence securely and without being tracked. 🔒A combination of Nym's powerful network-level privacy, and the decentralized file storage offered by IPFS and Filecoin is uniquely positioned to achieve this - which is why we are joining forces! 🔒 But we are also counting on you - the developers from our community who want to make a difference! Let's combine our powers to develop an AnonDrop for securely uploading evidence of war crimes in Ukraine and beyond! Note: Participants successful in the AnonDrop challenge will quality automatically for a Shipyard grant to continue developing AnonDrop! JOIN NOW!
