🚨 Action Required - New Release - Einstein (v2.9.0)

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein

gm Resource Providers! 🐸

Lilypad v2.9.0 - Einstein was released requiring RPs to update! https://github.com/Lilypad-Tech/lilypad/releases/tag/v2.9.0

Changes include updates to the Lilybit Rewards calculation, an update window, & more. The Lilybit calculation will change this week to using GPU card info instead of hashrate. Slashing will be turned on this week.

🚨 Update Window

With new releases, RPs will have two weeks to update before the previous version is deprecated. Failure to update in this period will prohibit a RP from earning Lilybits.

v2.9.0:

• To fairly reward GPUs optimized for AI jobs, Lilybits will be provided based on GPU card info (VRAM, Tensor cores, Cuda cores) in addition to the PoW uptime multiplier. The calculation will no longer use hashrate, but RPs will still be required to run PoWs. https://blog.lilypadnetwork.org/update-to-the-lilybit-rewards-calculation
• RPs will report their Lilypad version to the network
• This release includes a docker-compose file for RPs to easily get setup and running! https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/hardware-providers/run-a-node/docker

`sudo systemctl stop lilypad-resource-provider`
