Dear WorldDatabase (WD) global miners:

Our every technical upgrade is inseparable from the support and cooperation of global miners;

Our every technical upgrade has shown the attitude of the technical team to improve the WD system continuously;

Our every technical upgrade has reflected the enthusiasm of the WD’s global community and node laboratories for project development;

Our every technological upgrade has sworn WD’s determination and confidence to achieve the new king in the future distributed storage field and even the entire blockchain industry.

Thanks to all friends who have joined in WorldDatabase. You will definitely be proud of WorldDatabase in the future. WorldDatabase has always been working hard towards the eternal mission of human data!

Since the WorldDatebase mainnet v1.0.0 was officially launched on July 1, Node Lab has received much positive feedback such as bugs, emails, and suggestions submitted by Email and Telegram. To this end, under the verification and active promotion of the Russian Node Lab and the Tokyo Node Lab, the Tel Aviv Node Lab launched a new version v1.1.0, which mainly fixes the following issues:

Fixed the issue of changes in the pledge currency curve. The pledge deposit amount is locked at 0.00047~0.0005 per 512Mib sector now; that is, the pledge currency is about 1WD/Tib.

Fixed issues such as FinalizeSector with Sector, FailedSectors initialization, sector pre-commit but expired, etc. These issues may cause participants to fail to operate normally or lose computing power for no reason.

 Fuel cost optimization. The new PreCommitBatchWait command can merge transactions and significantly reduce fuel costs.

Fixed the problem that ProveCommitAggregate msg exec failed due to insufficient miner balance.

The launch of the new version v1.1.0 will make final tests and preparations for the next WD for a revolutionary technological fork upgrade based on the consolidation of the WorldDatabase system. Node Lab named it “Bethlehem Agreement” for this most important upgrade since WD launched. The upgrade agreement named after the birthplace of Christ in Israel, “Bethlehem”, has a pivotal position in the history of WorldDatebase’s technological development. Once the “Bethlehem Agreement” is successfully launched, it will double the operating efficiency of WD’s entire network system. Therefore, WD’s unique “encrypted view” technology can enable the operation, which will greatly improve the WD system. The use efficiency of storage space reduces storage costs and reduces the difficulty of mining for miners. This will undoubtedly benefit the WD miners and the entire blockchain industry, and help the WD global community ushered in the major development era, especially under the decline of Bitcoin after June.

The Bethlehem Agreement will be announced at the following time:

Tel Aviv time July 19, 2021 (GM+3) 03:00 AM to July 22, 2021 (GM+0) 02:59 PM,

Moscow time July 19, 2021 (GM+3) 03:00AM to July 22, 2021 (GM+0) 02:59AM,

Tokyo time July 19, 2021 (GM+9) 09:00AM to July 22, 2021 (GM+0) 08:59AM,

Beijing time July 19, 2021 (GM+8) 08:00 AM to July 22, 2021 (GM+0) 07:59 AM,

The WorldDatebase system will be upgraded for 72 hours at the above time. Please suspend the packaging work and wait for the upgrade to complete (the reward is invalid during the period, subject to the block height data before the upgrade).

After the “Bethlehem Agreement” of the WD system, we will provide the following system docking solutions for miners participating in the V1.0.0 version of the system:

1. The main network cluster unit miner does not need to run, waiting for the cluster upgrade and computing power to migrate to the V1.1.0 system. Mining will also be carried out during the upgrade process, but it will affect production and lead to uncertain numbers.

2. For non-clustered miners, it is recommended to recreate miners after the complete mainnet V1.1.0 upgrade. The V1.0.0 version system will return all pledged coins. Here are the specific steps:

(1) Log in to the operation page to query the basic information of the mining machine. Screenshot it (as shown on the right: the two data in the red circle should be displayed)

(2) Follow the tutorial to connect to the v1.1.0 mainnet. Recreate the miner, save the wallet address of the new miner.

(3) Copy the new miner address and the screenshot. Send them to the

official mailbox. The pledged coins will be returned to the new wallet within 8 hours.

3. Holders of wallets of version V1.0.0 (referred to as old wallets)

Please re-register the new wallet after the V1.1.0 upgrade.

Then fill in the V1.1.0 mapping address in the old wallet,

The system will automatically map the coins to the new wallet.

V1.0.0 version wallet address: main.worlddb.io

V1.1.0 version wallet address: mainv110.worlddb.io

(The V1.1.0 version of the website will work after the upgrade)

Again, many thanks to all miners and our community friends for your support and encouragement. Since WorldDatebase established its node laboratory in Tel Aviv in 2018, it has experienced numerous major technological upgrades and industry tests. With the efforts and enthusiasm of the operation team and the global community, WD has successfully completed missions every time and achieved more remarkable development. I believe, this time, the “Bethlehem Agreement” online upgrade will be the milestone in the history of WorldDatebase system technology development, and it will also be successfully completed. It will gradually show its tremendous technological leadership in the industry, allowing WD miners to gain higher returns and more robust output in the future.

There is a long journey ahead. Who will go against the bear market? In 2018, when the entire blockchain industry was at its lowest point, WorldDatebase received a total of US$120 million investment from 11 technology venture capital companies, including the Tel Aviv University Scientific Research Foundation and Israel’s largest technology company Checkpoint. Since then, it proved to the world that WorldDatebase could perform excellently in a bear market where the capital tide has receded. Again, this time, we believe that the “Bethlehem Agreement” will also achieve extraordinary performance in the entire blockchain industry.
