- Starting with this Beta, there are 4608 opportunities per day for a farmer to win 1 TXCH compared to Beta 18 where there were 288 opportunities per day for a farmer to win 16 TXCH.
- There is a lot more information and explanation of the new consensus algorithm in the New Consensus Working Document linked from [chia.net](https://chia.net/). Among the improvements this gives the Chia blockchain are a much higher security level against all attacks, more frequent transaction blocks that have less time variation between them and are then buried under confirmations (sub blocks also count towards re-org security) much more quickly.
- New consensus means this is a very hard fork. All of your TXCH from Beta 17/18 will be gone. Your plots and keys will work just fine however. You will have to sync to the new chain.
- You now have to sync 16 times more "blocks" for every 5 minutes of historical time so syncing is slower than it was on the old chain. We're aware of this and will be speeding it up and addresing blockchain database growth in the nest couple of releases.
- You now have to sync 16 times more "blocks" for every 5 minutes of historical time so syncing is slower than it was on the old chain. We're aware of this and will be speeding it up and addressing blockchain database growth in the nest couple of releases.
- Prior to this Beta 19, we had block times that targeted 5 minutes and rewarded 16 TXCH to one farmer. Moving forward we have epoch times that target 10 minutes and reward 32 TXCH to 32 farmers about every 17-18 seconds over that period. This has subtle naming and UI impacts in various places.
- Total transaction throughput is still targeted at 2.1x Bitcoin's throughput per hour but you will get more confirmations on a transaction much faster. This release has the errata that it doesn't limit transaction block size correctly.
- For testing purposes this chain is quickly halving block rewards. By the time you're reading this and using the chain, farmers and pools will be receiving less than 1 TXCH for each block won as if it were 15-20 years from now. Block rewards are given in two components, 7/8's to the pool key and 1/8 to the farmer. The farmer also receives any transaction fees from the block.
