📣 Vote to Bring Grid 3.8 Live on Mainnet In case you missed the note from Sabrina earlier today (in the main chat): Dear friends, Two weeks ago, we deployed the TF Grid 3.8 on testnet. You can read all about the new features and bugfixes/improvements in our release notes. We would like to go live on mainnet with Grid 3.8 on Monday February 20th, but first the upgrade needs to pass the DAO voting. You can vote by logging into the dashboard, selecting your farm and clicking on ‘Dao’ under the Portal menu. Voting ends on Friday February 17th. Cheers, The TF Team

A decentralized internet is a more open and fair internet.

By putting people, planet and authenticity at the core of the development of our technology, we want to gift societies with a remade Internet. Features include sovereignty, decentralization, security, privacy, scalability, cost effectiveness, reliability, and more!

⚡ Update: Power Management (Farmerbot) Feature Good news! The implementation of the feature is now complete. From the team, “We are starting end-to-end tests today. Once those succeed the community is welcome to test it on their own (on devnet for now). If everything goes as planned you can expect it within days.” Thanks again to the execution team for their efforts and to the community for your patience! Feel free to leave comments or questions via the link above.

What is ThreeFold..? 🤔

Our responsibility towards technology is to ensure it serves the greater good and doesn't perpetuate inequalities.

It's that time of the week where we share the recording of the weekly Tech Help call held by Drew with you! 📽️ Lots of great stuff was discussed as usual, including deploying with Terraform, and how to deploy Umbrel on the ThreeFold Grid. Watch it here:

Have you been hanging behind..? 👀 Reminder for those still having tokens on the Rivine blockchain to migrate ASAP to Stellar following the steps laid out by Amanda:

We are no longer on Rivine and have been on the Stellar Network for quite some time now.

Creating a new internet infrastructure is about creating a more open and fair digital ecosystem.

🍿 Explainer: How the ThreeFold Grid comes to life In this video, Scott goes through an educational presentation about data and data sources on the ThreeFold Grid, covering how 3Nodes, TF Chain, and people bring the Grid to life. While this video includes an overview of tools like GraphQL and Grid Proxy, along with a brief demo of building a web app, it's more focused on concepts and less of a how to. Take a look here.

Before our upcoming Community Call (Feb 21st) we are gathering questions from you all, to be answered during the call! They can be mission, tech or farming related - or really about any-ThreeFold-thing! Leave your question below 👇 Find more here:

As technology becomes more integrated into our lives, it's crucial that we use it responsibly and ethically.

⚡️ Update: Power Management (Farmerbot) Feature As we shared last week, the power management feature is in development. Today, we have a short update directly from the team responsible for it: “The farmerbot has actors – node (for anything node related) and power (for anything power related) – which are able to execute what we call jobs. Jobs are actions or methods that can be done or executed by an actor. One of them is the ‘find node’ action, which finds a node that can fit the required resources for a specific deployment. While doing that, it will power on the node if it is off. Every five minutes, the farmerbot fetches information about the nodes (calling the nodes directly). With that information it is able to shut down nodes automatically that are not being used. The implementation is now mostly done. The communication between farmerbot, nodes, and tfchain is not yet complete. An exact estimate for completion is hard to provide as there are many variables, but we are working as quickly as we can.” Thanks to the team for their efforts on this long-awaited feature!

The Web3 promise is massive, enabling new forms of digital ownership & interaction. But blockchain alone does not hold all of the answers. The Web3 space needs a peer-to-peer foundation like ThreeFold to scale in a truly secure and decentralize way.

💡 ThreeFold Grid 3.8 is live on testnet! As of the 1st of February, TF Grid 3.8 is live on testnet. Take a look at the release notes here. This release contains many exciting updates including third party billing services. By early next week, we will share a more detailed look at all the key highlights. In the meantime, we invite the testing community to explore v3.8 on testnet and provide feedback.

🎥 Watch the recording of Monday's Tech Help Call! Did you miss the last Tech Help Call? No worries, the recording is right here! Thanks to Drew for hosting yet another insightful session. In this one, he introduces Umbrel, tells us about what it is and gives us a demo of how to use it on the Grid (since then he also released a tutorial!). He goes on to explore multiple questions about ThreeFold, including 'How The Grid Can Help Data Security and Sovereignty', 'How Threefold Can Provide a Personal Cloud', and 'How Is Threefold Using Blockchain technology' amongst others. Discussion about how a family, a real estate developer or even a large community can use Threefold to host their own cloud and take back control of their data was also on the agenda! Save the date: every monday at 19:00 CET / 12:00 EST for upcoming Tech Help Calls!
