Dear Verified Humans and all users of BotBasher,

We have an important announcement to share with you regarding the biometrics servers for BotBasher. BotBasher is upgrading to Gen3 (from the current Gen2), and a scheduled reset to the servers for Biometric AI upgrades will take place on Dec 8, 2023 (tomorrow).

This means that all users who have had their Discord accounts verified as a human “backed” account via BotBasher (“Verified Human” in the case of the Humanode Discord), will once again be required to go through the 15 second validation process, tie your Biometric identification to your desired Discord account and regain your status as a Verified Human (or Verified Seilor, a Verified Carbon-based Lifeform, or whatever verification title/role you have).

It is important to note that during the reboot of the biometric servers, all encrypted biometric data will be wiped, and forever lost to the world in this process.

For everything to work smoothly, the server administrator of your Discord will need to create a new role based on the Gen3 BotBasher for verified accounts, and users who have been freshly bio-authenticated for Gen3 BotBasher will be able to tie their account to the new role.

Although some servers may not update immediately, for those on the Humanode Discord server, you can go ahead and become a verified Human again as soon as the update happens. (As a note, this one verification process will be good for all Gen3 Discord Servers, and you will just need to tie your freshly verified account to the new role on all Gen3 servers. Old (Gen2) roles can still be used in Gen2 servers, but new Gen2 roles are unobtainable once the update happens)

For your information, the BotBasher bio-authentication servers are periodically updated (once in 6 months) for 2 main reasons. The first is that the AI and technology backing the bio-authentication and liveness detection is constantly being updated (at least once in 3 months for minor updates and once every 6 months for major updates). By upgrading and rebooting the system, the verification engine becomes even more secure, even more resistant to attacks, and even more accurate. Thus, please be prepared to walk through the biometric verification process once every 6 months.

The second reason is in compliance to different laws concerning data policy, and to make sure that we are up to date and 100% in compliance with the various laws around the globe.

We understand it may be a drag, but on the bright side, for those who tied your Verified Human tag to the wrong account in the past by mistake, this is your chance to make sure your biometric identity is tied to the correct account.

We thank you all for joining our resistance towards Sybil attacks and are looking forward to seeing you all as Verified human beings again!

RPC's are back online.
Scaleway issue resolved.
All the apps run as usual.

Thank you for your patience with this issue.

Dear Humanode community and Verified humans,

As previously announced, BotBasher has been updated to Gen3 and the server has been reset.

For everything to work smoothly, the server administrator of your Discord will need to create a new role based on the Gen3 BotBasher for verified accounts, and users who have been freshly bio-authenticated for Gen3 BotBasher will be able to tie their account to the new role.

Although some servers may not update immediately, for those on the Humanode Discord server, you can go ahead and become a verified Human again as soon as the update happens. (As a note, this one verification process will be good for all Gen3 Discord Servers, and you will just need to tie your freshly verified account to the new role on all Gen3 servers. Old (Gen2) roles can still be used in Gen2 servers, but new Gen2 roles are unobtainable once the update happens)

This means that:

➡️ Server admins - Please prepare new roles (or tweak and update current roles). Check this article out to see how to do it. (https://blog.humanode.io/botbasher-update-announcement-for-server-administrators/)

➡️ Users/Everyone else - Please claim your new roles! (i.e. Go to linked roles, select your role (in the case of Humanode, Verified Human. Other servers may have other names for the role, such as Verified Seilor, Verified carbon-based being, and so on), and go through the verification process again.) It is important to remember that you can only tie your biometrics to ONE Discord account. If you tie it to a wrong account, well, you will have to wait 6 months for the next reset.

We thank you all for joining our resistance towards Sybil attacks and are looking forward to seeing you all as Verified human beings again!

Dear Human nodes and friends,

We’ve got some juicy on-chain data to share, showcasing the impressive progress of the Humanode network. Over the past two weeks, we’ve cracked a significant milestone, Humanode network achieved 57% self-sufficiency. Here is the exact breakdown of the numbers:

1. Humanode blockchain fees: 3802 HMND
2. Biomapper fees: 825 HMND
3. Total validator payouts: 7995 HMND

What does this mean?

Unlike Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains that rely heavily on minting new tokens to support their validators, Humanode is rapidly approaching a point where it won't require any external funding to pay its validators. This is a huge step towards true decentralization and long-term sustainability!

But wait, there's more!

Every bit of on-chain revenue strengthens the network and brings us closer to that 100% self-sufficiency milestone. Once there, we can expand the validator pool.

This is a testament to the power of our community and network’s resilience. Let's keep Humanode growing!

Regards,
Humanode Core

Reflecting on 2023: A milestone year in Humanode's journey
