Development Update

Happy Chuseok to everyone from the BOScoin team! We realize most of our contributors and subscribers do not have anything to do with Chuseok, which is a national holiday quite similar to what is thanksgiving in the US, but we thought our holiday sentiment could extend to you anyways:)

The team has been working on tests and problems we mentioned before throughout the holidays nonetheless, and we do have some good news. Replacing Virginia to California proved to be fruitful and we are experiencing no disconnections. Error rates, which is defined as the failed transactions including transactions unprocessed for 60 seconds divided by all transactions, were also kept below 0.06% with an increased concurrency value of 400. This is great improvement compared to two weeks ago when a concurrency value beyond 300 returned a rapid rise in the error rate.

Although these tests may seem unimportant, it allow us to better understand the network and enable us to deal with the situation more systematically, if any problems were to occur. It provides us with an idea of how the network behaves if anything goes as unexpected and where to look at to fix the problem once the network goes live.

We have also been working to increase the performance of the network. We have proven that more validating nodes increase the stability of the network by comparing a 9 node network to a 36 node network on our TestNet. Although this does not necessarily increase speed, a more stable network can be achieved. TPS fluctuation seems to lessen with more nodes and since we are testing on a harsh environment, we expect speed to improve when TokenNet is launched.

Below is a short summary of what we have covered and screenshots of the results :

TokenNet Development Tests

Replace Virginia to California — Increased network stability with no disconnections

Decreased error rate with a concurrency value up to 400 (below 0.06% at 400)

Test Web-Wallet

We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who have and are participating in testing our test Web-wallet. We have received many feedback and are currently working to reflect your comments. Modifications are constantly being made so we would still appreciate if you could provide input in improving the test Web-wallet. The test Web-wallet still needs to move to the TestNet and we will let you know when we do, but at the moment, please let us know if you see anything unfit regarding functionality, user-friendliness, design or any other aspect you wish to see improved.
