In the latest round of Coretime sales, Mythos and Xcavate did not purchase their slot leases during the renewal period. Subsequently, a rogue activist, seeking numerous changes to the way Coretime sales are handled, bought all available cores on the free market. Without intervention, Mythos and Xcavate will soon be unable to produce blocks. Bastian Kocher (Parity) has initiated Whitelisted Caller Referendum 1536 to open and assign cores to Mythos and Xcavate for a period of approximately two months. In the meantime, Basti has opened RFC-142 to discuss potential solutions to balance the current market dynamics and prevent future exploitation.
