Coordination-Thread: Merge Göerli execution-testnet with Prater consensus-testnet

Open q9f opened this issue 2 years ago • 10 comments

This is an early notice to the Göerli validators that the intention is to merge(TM) the Goerli execution-testnet with the Prater consensus-testnet. In case of a merge, Clique-POA validators will be relieved from their duty and replaced by the Beacon-POS validator set of the Prater network.

Tagging current validators @q9f @roninkaizen @igorbarinov @jparyani @prestonvanloon @tkstanczak @egalano @Errorific @karalabe - if you want to continue validating after the merge, make sure you have a Prater validator.

Thanks @q9f!

As I understand it, Goerli sealers will continue to perform their work until the terminal total difficulty is reached and then these sealers can be safely turned down/off.

How will we coordinate a difficulty change in Goerli clique?

I don't think there should be much of a difference, we just have to select a sensible terminal total difficulty. Each block in clique adds 1 or 2 difficulty.

我认为应该没有太大区别,我们只需要选择一个合理的终端总难度。 clique 中的每个块都会增加 1 或 2 个难度。

Afr Schoe I can get some goerli in you and do a 2.0 test. This is my wallet address 0x5336288884ec81a73fd7bcf7fb36ede45ec3e44d. Thank you

@q9f @roninkaizen Some validators have sold hundreds of thousands goeth from these validators address. They didn't use it for validator, they are selling it. That's awful.

nobody is selling goerli ether, it has no value. it's a testnet. if someone sells you goerli ether, they are a scammer.

Updated the website https://goerli.net/ 🤓

I activated 20k validators on Prater on behalf of Goerli.

@q9f will we need to update our current Clique validator to run alongside a CL pair or will configuring them w/ a new EL that accepts the TTD be enough?

I have my EL authority on a different machine than the CL validators, but it should be perfectly fine to have both on the same machine.

Goerli has now merged 🎉 ! Should we close this?

Sorry i should’ve been more clear. I maintain the Infura clique signer. What updates, if any, are required for the existing clique signers to make sure the chain completes the merge? For example do we need to enable the engine API on our signer and pair it with a CL, or update the EL to a new version that accepts a TTD, or simply do nothing and shut down the clique signer once the merge completes?

Now that Goerli has been merged, there's no reason to run the clique signers anymore. They can be shutdown.
