update to polkadot v0.9.24

[DappGuy]

We are using nimbus in our hackathon project and we must use the latest polkadot version. is it possible to get a v0.9.24 branch or should we do it ourselves? :)

At the current moment, it would be easier to provide a PR for it as the Moonbeam team is currently focus on v0.9.23 compatibility.
I don't think there is a lot of changes in v0.9.24 so it shouldn't be too complex

Understood, thanks for the fast response

I can do that, we also need 0.9.24. Just not sure if I should branch off main or the 0.9.23 branch @crystalin

We start from main and preferably merge back in when done, so I would suggest opening a PR when you've gotten started.

Thanks!

It looks like there is a significant diff between main and moonbeam-polkadot-v0.9.23 (our latest dependency update branch), so you may want to either:

• start from main and reference moonbeam-polkadot-v0.9.23 changes to help you
• start from moonbeam-polkadot-v0.9.23 and remove the irrelevant parts (esp. branch / repo changes in Cargo.toml files).

Thanks for the pointer, here's the PR #68
Btw I noticed that in the moonbeam-polkadot-v0.9.23 branch the cumulus dependency is using your own fork, but in main the Cumulus are using Parity repo like the other dependencies. So I wasn't sure which one to use.

Thank you @ghzlatarev for your help :)

You should use the official cumulus release, we use a custom fork for specific moonbeam needs, because we need changes not merged upstream yet.
