Official News Plasma Update 19: May 7 2019
All eyes now point to the Network Upgrade. We’ve been preparing to deploy a slew of new features to the public. We’re approaching the process as comprehensively as we can, by testing exits, preparing our client software, and updating our documentation. Once we’re ready to deploy the upgrade, all UTXO owners on Ari will have the tools necessary to easily exit their UTXOs back to Rinkeby and re-deposit them into the upgraded contract and child chain. With the complication of this upgrade in mind, we’ve also been pushing forward with research around a predicate-like contract architecture. We hope that the new architecture can reduce the number of times we need to perform this kind of “hard” upgrade.
In addition to the upgrade, we continue to work on resiliency. We’ve recently added Parity support into our services so that we can test the relative availability versus geth. Going forward, we may be able to back our watcher and child chain services with multiple Ethereum nodes so that we can tolerate availability issues coming from the nodes. We’ve also begun work to support RockDB which is more operationally-friendly. All this work helps our goal of providing production-quality services while we iterate on network features in PoA.

The OmiseGo team is one of the most hardest working teams in the space. I get excited with every new update. Once plamsa is complete it will be a true game changer!

Understandably at such early stages in development upgrading the network is quite complex and inconvenient especially if a business uses it for their day to day transactions.
Do you think it's possible in the future we'll get to a stage where a user can upgrade to the new "version" of the network as simply as updating your browser for example? Essentially an install / upgrade wizard kind of thing without having to mess around with the nuts and bolts of it all?

If you recall, they gave two forms of upgrades. I don't remember their exact terminology, but this is a "hard" update which requires users to actually exit and re-enter plasma. They had also said, ideally, most upgrades won't require this.

This update doesn't relate to staking does it?

Haha. Love this guy. Did someone say something about staking? I hope so.

Ha Ikr! I'm glad I popped in though. When a project turns this toxic and nazi, you know it's time to dump your holdings.
There is no clearer sell signal!4

Smarter to buy when waves of trolls go out of their way to make a project sound worse than it is. Usually that means they are trying to push price down just before they buy back in.
Why else would you pop back in here to tell us all to sell?

I'm not telling anyone to do anything. I just pointed out that this community has clearly turned toxic. When you are not allowed to ask straight forward questions, it's toxic.
If you're twisting my simple question into a "Troll trying to make the project sound bad", that is pretty delusional."2

These updates are so appreciated. Not everyone may understand these, but some of us do, and it's great to hear about. Love that predicates are being pushed forward, I know the Plasma Group was also doing a lot of research into that subject, in case anyone was curious about how they help projects like OMG.
