🌟 TARI UNIVERSE v0.8.42: "The Shell of Fate, Part 3 (the end of the trilogy!)"

January 14, 2025

🔄 Rolling out over the next 24 hours

The Shell of Fate trilogy has been like one of those slow-burning TV series where you must wait patiently for each new season. Thankfully, we got to the end, and the ending here is far better than the end of Game of Thrones. Introducing Shell of Fate, Part 3: the alpha release of squads! In this version of Tari Universe, you will be randomly placed into a pool with a max size of 300 miners. There are no fancy graphics yet to tell you which pool you're in, but the idea is that by capping the # of miners per pool, we hope to create a world where every pool is a lot more stable and reliably produces rewards. Our goal is for 80%+ of Tari miners to earn rewards every single day. We can't wait to see how .42 works for you!

📊 WHAT'S NEW

Breakthroughs with p2pool!

  • ✨ 90% win rate
  • 🔄 90% sync rate
  • ⛓️ P2pool fork: upgrade required to continue earning tXTM and precious Gems
  • 🔀 Pools are now sharded at 300 miners (alpha release of squads!)

🛠️ Stability Improvements

Contributors have been hard at work debugging and refactoring to make the app more stable. In today's release:

  • 🚀 Resolved app freezing/unresponsiveness:
    • During startup
    • During window management
  • 💰 Wallet updates partially fixed:
    • Note: Updates still take extended time

⚠️ Upcoming Fixes to Remaining Issues

  • Re-enabling Window persistence/management
  • Animation sometimes freezes or doesn't play
  • Speediness of transaction history display
  • GPU support on Mac M series of processors
  • Some GPUs are not detected
  • Freezes and crashes on long-running sessions (you have to restart Universe occasionally)
  • Freezes when trying to close Universe

Thank you for your continued support and feedback. Tari is coming SOON 💜🐢
