The team has a new release tagged 2020.12.22.1 before the holidays with a snapshot bump and blockchain core support for showing invalid witnesses in the API. Please read on for more details and plan for GA.

blockchain-core#706: Expose invalid witness reason​

In order for the API to have consistency with the blockchain, blockchain-core now exports helper functions which output the precise reasons why a particular PoC witness Hotspot was considered invalid during ingestion of a PoC Receipt Transaction. The team has planned support for exposing this information in explorer and Helium app via the blockchain API.

miner#586: Snapshot bump to 642961​

We have updated the snapshot block to 642961 to allow newly onboarded hotspots to sync faster to the current blockchain head block.

Plan​

We have been beta testing 2020.12.22.1 since December 22nd, 2020 7:00PM PT. Current ETA for GA is 11:00 AM PT, December 23rd, 2020.
