Increased Block and Election Times due to Oracled IOT PoC
This is placeholder comms for a decision made by the core devs and the Foundation a few minutes ago. We will come back with more specific communications on what we did, why it was necessary in an urgent manner, and what's next. Core developers, validator operators, wallet and exchange operators, and others in the community have noticed significantly slower block times in the last 12+ hours due to a large backlog of Oracled Proof-of-Coverage. No action is required by Hotspot Manufacturers, Validator operators, Data users, or Hotspot owners. We expect to resolve after we clear the backlog. This could be due to a rate limiter that hasn't been implemented yet that needs to be addressed but in order to continue processing state channels, payments, burns, Hotspot onboards, location changes, etc., we believe the correct response is to halt the oracle that is pushing transactions on chain and let it recover. We will provide more details as we execute the steps defined in the blockchain ...

Validators with a corrupted region cache are preventing block production. The core team is working with operators to fix affected validators to resume block production. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience. At this time, all transactions on chain will be unconfirmed until Validators begin producing blocks again. Funds are safe but activity like Proof of Coverage, Hotspot onboarding and movement, Token Transfers, etc. are unavailable. Data Transfer is not affected.

The core team is investigating the chain halt that occurred at block height 1,575,955. The network appears to have hit the same issue that was cleared earlier and most likely the root cause of the initial outage. The core team and Validator operators in the community are working together to resolve this issue. Hotspots will not be participating in Proof of Coverage until block production resumes. All funds are safe, but pending transactions will be delayed until we can resolve this halt. Pending Transactions include adding a Hotspot, changing a Hotspot Location, transferring a Hotspot, payments, and token burns. At this time, data transfer is not affected by the chain halt.

There is a big block that the core devs and validator operators are keeping an eye on. We did just issue a chain variable during the last epoch so it could be related to that but we will keep the community updated as we have more information Nothing actionable at this time for Hotspot owners or other network participants. We will provide updates as they come.

The core developers are investigating what looks like a large election block @ 1367289. Validators operators currently in the Consensus Group, please join us on Discord. We will provide updates as we learn more but our current evaluation of the situation is that a large block was produced and is now being absorbed.
