Luna Classic is community driven. Nothing changes. No one (and everyone) decides the fate of the blockchain. To Luna v2, if needed, we'll work to keep the lights on there too.

Terra Classic governance has passed prop 4661. The treasury parameter rates have already been updated. Once the new epoch starts (block 9,475,200), the effective tax rate will automatically be changed to 1.2%.

Alex came forward with a very well thought out proposal and I support and applaud his efforts. Zaradar has a different proposal and I support him too. I encourage others to bring their ideas to the table so we can all weigh the pros and cons. Please keep it constructive.

As noted by others, some transactions are failing due to not enough gas on the Classic network. We have a fix for station. In the meanwhile, for those that have lost fees, we are exploring ways to reimburse through community pool distribution. More details soon.

Update on the delegation tax. It is working correctly and as expected. The problem is in the wallet sending excess "fees" when it is not actually required. This is sending more fees to the stakers and community pool. This fix does not require a change to the blockchain.

Please take note that Allnodes is doing their part to help with the decentralization of the network by raising their commission to 10%, starting today. nitter.app/Allnodes/status/160922… . However, staking is a 2-way street.
Because we recently became the top validator node, we are letting our @terra_money community know that for decentralization purposes our commission for staking $LUNA will increase to 5% after Feb 1, 2023.

2. Terra Rebels has a Terra Station clone. An independent wallet and community endpoint for the classic chain was always necessary, even if it were just to be redundant. The current events demonstrated this need. Thank you TR for making this available.

On another note, the v1.0.5 is set to pass shortly. I will be coordinating the upgrade in known validator channels and github repos (probably tomorrow).

3. The LCD endpoints were not upgraded in time, which we still rely on TFL for. They are under no obligation to continue to run these for us. This goes back to the dependence issue on 3rd parties.
Throwing hate at TR, TFL, etc., is driving them away from engaging.

The blockchain is the distributed ledger that holds all your information. The wallet just helps you view and interact with it. No need to touch your stake. The wallet is just a backup at the moment.

2/ dfunk outlines the problem with a single transaction here, classic-agora.terra.money/t/… , in summary, there is a miscalculation in 3rd party wallets on what kinds of transactions should incur the 0.2% tax. The extra fee is being distributed to the community pool.

For reference, I did communicate with members of TFL-South Korea about the v1.0.4 upgrade with a lead time of about a week. My contact no longer had permissions (and actually no longer works at TFL), and we were forced to find someone in the Singapore office.

Please note that this is not a distribution vote. This is just a signaling prop that indicates if we have the support to move forward and collect/review applications. We will provide all the documentation and our recommendations to the community.

2/ Vegas et al. proposed a new plan to claim the assets and send to the community pool (with guidance on how to spend) classic-agora.terra.money/t/… . We discussed this approach together early on, and it was clear that legal counsel was necessary (the first steps of the proposal).

TFL is developing a new station wallet that can be interoperable with the classic chain, given technical upgrades. At this time, we do not meet the criteria and are working to see what is feasible. What other 3rd party entities do, or do not do, are out of our control.

There has been feedback that there was not enough time for preparation. The allotted time that I thought was sufficient was about a week. It is noted that this is too short. We will plan for at least 2 weeks next time. This is my bad.

This makes sense because you work in the entire ecosystem, whereas my highest priority is #lunc. Hence you are focusing on KC, which has greatest impact on your objective function, whereas I am focusing on HVP which has the greatest impact to mine.

I am also told they are also working on further security measures regarding their validator services. That being said, the most secure setup is having your own bare metal. One can also look at github.com/strangelove-ventu… for redundancy and liveliness.

sorry this is the right notice for LUNC
Being the top validator is a great responsibility. We are aware of the concerns regarding our voting power. Based on this, we are letting our @terrac_money community know that for decentralization purposes our commission for staking $LUNC will increase to 10% after Feb 1, 2023.
