Crankk Rank V2 Goes Live – Your Feedback Shapes the Future!

By Announcement, News

Dear Crankk Community,

We are thrilled to announce the transition of our Crankk Rank V2 from staging to production! This marks a significant milestone in our journey towards creating a more efficient and equitable network.

What’s New with Crankk Rank V2? Our team has been hard at work refining the ranking algorithm, taking into account the invaluable feedback you’ve provided over the past year. The latest version boasts improved accuracy in data packet analysis and a more fair representation of gateway seniority. Our aim is to provide a ranking system that truly reflects the contribution of each gateway to our network’s coverage and efficiency.

Crankk Rank v2

By Announcement, Crankk

It’s been almost a year since the initial introduction of our ranking system. We want to thank the community for the amount of feedback we received.

Based on the feedback, one issue was pretty clear, which was the determination of seniority. Seniority basically means that if your gateway was the first in an area then you should get priority in that area to deliver data packets that the network will ultimately rely upon as a source of revenue. It also discourages others to establish excess capacity in that area and move that capacity to an area that’s less covered.

Join BETA 2.0 Group

By Announcement, Beta, Crankk, News

Here you are: User Dashboard → Dashboard section → Join BETA 2.0 Group

If you see a message License bought at: under Your wallet details, that means you have successfully purchased a software license for this wallet (check the attached screenshot).

Don’t forget about the 3×1 rule: 1 software license = 1 gateway = 1 wallet. You must have a separate wallet and separate software license for each gateway you want to onboard on the Crankk network.

Upcoming BETA 2.0

By Announcement, Beta, Crankk, News

Here is the announcement everyone has been waiting for!

The BETA 2.0 group will start on August 13th at 18:00 CEST. The purchase of a software license will be possible until the available 1000 places sell out.

The main idea of the BETA 2.0 group is to launch and test 7 new gateway models in addition to the ones already added to the Crankk network. You will still have the opportunity to onboard all currently supported gateways in the BETA 2.0 group, but the main focus should be on the new models.

Upcoming consensus staking

By Announcement, Crankk, News

Dear Crankksters,

We understand that many people are eager to learn about the upcoming consensus staking process. In this article, we will provide an overview of various aspects and offer background information to help you understand the reasoning behind its design.

Consensus nodes play a crucial role in initiating and closing beaconing/witnessing cycles, as well as dispensing rewards once the relevant information is available on the blockchain. This information is encrypted using the public key of the directing consensus node and decrypted using its corresponding private key.
