Testnet submission rejects c007 job_scheduling as invalid challenge

General

Hi TIG team,

I’m trying to submit a code algorithm for job_scheduling on the testnet.

The submission page correctly detects:

  • Challenge: job_scheduling
  • Algorithm: adaptive_js_v9_fast
  • Deductable balance: 10 TIG

When I click Submit Algorithm, the UI returns:

Invalid challenge 'c007'

I refreshed the page, re-uploaded the same files, and retried once, with the same result. The balance remains 10 TIG, so the submission fee was not deducted.

I checked the current official testnet state:

  • Current round: 124
  • c007 state: round_active: 200
  • vote_start_delay, vote_period, and push_delay_period: 0

The protocol’s submit_code validation rejects the submission when round_active is greater than the current round plus those delays, which appears to explain this error.

Is c007 intentionally unavailable for code submissions until round 200, or should it already be enabled on the testnet?

The Challenges page currently lists job_scheduling, and the submission form accepts the files and enables the submit button, so a clearer inactive-state message would also help avoid confusion.

Thanks.

Hi @m00nxx welcome to the TIG forum.

Job Scheduling is temporarily disabled on testnet whilst we are testing the reporting/arbitration mechanism.

If you have a specific aspect you want to test about this challenge on testnet, we are open to hearing it.

If you want to take part in the live competition I suggest testing your job scheduling algorithm locally. Compare it to the current winning algorithms. If yours is better just submit it to mainnet.

Happy to answer any other questions.
