Tierion Network Update — January 5, 2018

January 06, 2018

Additional Registered Nodes

On January 5th at 2:00pm PT (22:00 UTC) an additional 1,000 nodes joined the public Tierion network. This brings the total number of publicly registered Chainpoint nodes to 4,000. Our team is working on changes that will allow nodes to join the network at any time. More information will be available in the coming weeks.

Happy New Year

This Tierion’s first update of 2018 and we want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Tierion Discord

We’re starting a community on Discord! More information about the launch of the new Discord will be posted next week. We’re also looking for a full-time Community Manger. View full job description.

Latest Release

Node operators should upgrade to version 1.3.4. Upgrading takes a few seconds. Nodes will automatically attempt to register when upgraded.

Chainpoint Client (beta)

The Chainpoint Client makes it easy to create applications that use Chainpoint. This javascript client can be used in both Browser and Node.js based Javascript applications using callback functions, Promises (using .then, .catch), or Promises (using async/await) functional styles.

We’ve created a live code notebook on Runkit that demonstrates how to use the Chainpoint client.

We encourage developers to test the client and submit any issues to the Chainpoint Client Github repo.

We’re Hiring

Tierion has several openings for experienced developers to join our team in San Francisco. Our toolchain is based on Node.js, CockroachDB, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis, and Consul. Everything is glued together with Docker, Docker Compose, and Kubernetes. View full job description

More nodes means more testing! Our team is conducting large scale testing of the live network. Node operators will see periods of traffic.
