Config 15 was updated on testnet.
Now validation round is 14400 seconds (4h), elections start 3600 seconds and finish 500 seconds before next round. Stake held for another 3600 seconds after round end.

Please update testnet validators to safer_overlay_plus branch.
If you are using mytonctrl, you need to run upgrade safer_overlay_plus command.
P.S. Recently Config 15 was reverted back to facilitate testing of election-related apps.

Please update testnet validators to
sop_with_fecs branch.
If you are using mytonctrl, you need to run update and then upgrade https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton sop_with_fecs
P.S. Testnet lives its last days and will be restarted this month. If you need to keep your testnet balance (for instance you are custodian with testnet coins) please contact @igroman787.

Please update testnet validators and liteservers to the tip (127f577) of testnet branch.

It is expected to merge testnet branch with master and start mainnet upgrade in next two weeks.

Please update testnet validators and liteservers to the tip (ff5c659) of testnet branch.

Recently testnet lost consensus due to more than 1/3 of the validators were offline/unable to validate the chain. Since this situation has been going on for a long time, we decided to hard fork the network by installing a new set of validators.
Hardfork occured on block 5141579, new config is here.

To run validator/node
1) upgrade(!!!) validator from testnet branch (commit: 33a0d1e)
2) download new config with hardfork
3) run validator

Please upgrade testnet nodes to the latest commit in testnet branch (75f57bd)

It is expected that in a few days minimal stake for becoming a validator in testnet will be decreased to 30k test coins. Please stay tuned.

Please upgrade testnet nodes as well as dht-nodes to the latest commit in testnet branch (898d1ff8).
Minimal stake is decreased to 30k, however due to max-factor, effective minimal stake is about 40k test coins. If your stake >100k please set max-factor to 30, to not push away small validators.
