Aren't the proposals stored in the blockchain? I thought they needed six confirmations.

Oh, and the proposal wasn't from the real inblue  ;) Just some guy that - i think - tried impersonating him to get BBP.

482
Okay the other guys were right, there is an error in watchman when getting an object, I bet someone typed in a comma into their proposal amount maybe? hehehe

So, this 'blue' guy, with his stupid proposal, single handedly crashed watchman. But it's not a bad thing, right? He 'found' a bug and it will be squashed.

483
At the moment, in my 'normal' wallets, the masternode statuses are a colourful rainbow of:

'enabled'
'pre enabled'
'watchdog expired'
'new start required'

I'm going to get some sleep now. Maybe it will sort itself out in the meantime...

I think this is a very good investment :) I just hope the price stays at around 40 sat, so we have enough BBP.

Maybe it's an idea - for future proposals with this character - to ask a little extra to compensate for price fluctuations, and if there's BBP left, we can send it to the orphan wallet.

485
jaapgvk  ,   are trying to say there's an error in python code ?

No, I'm just doing the same West did, so we could compare. Maybe someone else can debug it or something.

I don't have enough Linux knowledge to really contribute here, sorry. But if I can do anything to help, just tell me what to do :)

486
They're still in 'WATCHDOG EXPIRED' mode on my end (except the three enabled ones).

I used the same commands you used West, and I got approximately the same results:

But I have no idea what I'm doing, lol (but not so lol).

It's indeed a full-time job... But hey, as you said Togo: it's a startup. Let's just hope we get the engine spinning nicely soon...

I noticed all the Sanctuaries have fallen into WATCHDOG_EXPIRED state, is something going on? or something we need to do?

Have you reached out to Rob? On my side, it seems that two of the masternodes stayed 'enabled'.

488
It seems testnet has been reset unfortunately... Anyone has the winners logs?

489
I opened a tech ticket, the bigger issue I think is back-to-back winners, out of 493 block winners (not all actually won BBP mind you), 146 times there was a back-to-back winner.  If there were only 4 enabled MN that would be statistically correct but I think that's what is driving the disparity.

I fully agree, and that's one of the first things I noticed. I wonder how the block distribution was in testnet. I mean, I was there testing, but I didn't look at the winners list to see the actual distribution. I'm gonna look now if I can call the logs on that.

490

Jaapgvk , did you update both sanct MN and controller and it went "enabled"  right away ?

It just stayed enabled in the list. After updating both, I restarted (I did the controller first), and after starting the sanctuary wallet it said 'masternode successfully started' after syncing. Didn't have to do anything from the controller wallet.

I've received a payment since then, so I'm guessing all is fine :)

491
I looked up Rob's notes on the winning algorithm

"As far as "luck" of winning the spot, we are using an algorithm where the nodes rank is determined by how close its vin is to the blockhash its voting on, so its really luck."

"The winner is based on the delta between the masternode vin and the blockhash, so that makes the winner random, thats why they can repeat back to back."

What is the masternode VIN?

This kind of reminds me of the Price is Right LOL but going both ways up and down
I think some VINs could have really unlucky spots being sandwhiched between other VINs, does that make sense?



Yeah, I'd like to have more insight into the technicalities of this, and how random it really is. Although I must say that my payments seem to be spaced apart quite evenly, although less than expected.

Also, did any of you needed to restart your sanctuary after the last update (1.0.7.1)? I just updated my wallets and started my sanctuary and it just kept saying 'ONLINE'.

First of all: thanks so much for all your hard work! I party agree that doing all this should be compensated. But I also think your proposal is something that I have concerns about.

I think that when people realize you can effectively ask money for doing pr, we may get an army of money hungry 'shills', which may help the coin grow in the short term, but I don't like it. For example, the same 'shills' might get angry and damage the coin if they realise they won't get paid.

Remember that (asian?) guy who was on bitcointalk who seemed to have his heart in the right place, and built a very amateurish blog, and kept asking for coins afterwards? I'm afraid that a lot of people will follow in his steps, and make proposals up to our necks asking for money, cluttering the proposal-list and taking up the time of sanctuary-holders who have to sort through all the proposals.

I think it's maybe better if we set up bounties or something. Or at least something that is simple and clear for all parties. I see other coins doing bounties and it seems to work really well. And we can vote on a bounty budget from the pr with the sanctuaries.

Yeah, I think that pr-stuff needs to be discussed and outlined beforehand, and not billed afterwards. Not that I don't think you should get some compensation.

(And of course, you're also being compensated by the rising of the value of your BBP as a direct result of your hard work, and I also think a lot of the things you did, you did because you believed in the project with your heart, and not because you wanted to get paid for doing it.)

I don't really have an answer to my 'problem', and I fully agree you have to get paid for your other proposals, but I just want to speak my mind on this one :)

Good Morning Community (its 08:30 am here )

I got a Problem with this happybeecloud-vps: randomly biblepay (v1.0.6.9) stopping. I dont know the reason. When i start it with

Code: [Select]
cd /home/root/biblepay/src
./biblepayd -daemon

and some seconds later i check status with:

Code: [Select]
./biblepay-cli getmininginfo
i only get an error: couldn't connect to server back.

But sometimes, everything works fine, and biblepay runs stable until it stopps random.
I was looking for a log to solve this but cant find something in /var/log or in biblepay directory.

An other thing: i want to testing such an 8-core vps from hyperexpert, but they dont sell any vps. Maybe they are in hollyday.

Good morning (also for me, living in the Netherlands) :)

When you get the 'couldn't connect to server' error, that indeed most probably means that biblepay crashed. I've had that in the past with a few installations. You could try a reindex, but I don't know if that would help to be honest. Maybe someone else can answer this question more accurately for you.

About hyperexpert: It checked, and it's probably something temporary and/of holidays, but I can't find an announcement no their blog.

About the hps vs hps2: the hps2 is what the pool is using as your 'actual hps', and uses that to calculate your payout (it's correlated to the amount of shares). And the hps is what your wallet reports, but I don't think it's really accurate as of yet. I don't have enough knowledge te explain the details, but you could try and find information about this on bitcointalk (although it might be kind of hard to find between the mountains of posts).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers

Have to be careful extrapolating from a small data set, there is going to be randomness / fluctuations with smaller amount of data

I think Rob mentioned the algorithm has something to do with a hash number being near a masternode's number, Id have to look into it, sounds interesting

Yeah, you're absolutely right :) It's just that I didn't get any 'win' in the first 140 blocks (counting from block 21600), although my masternode was online or upgrading all that time, so I was getting worried that something might be wrong with my VPS.

As soon as I'm up and running I'll be voting yes on these.  However, I think it would be better to propose something before doing it, just my 2 cents.   And don't take that personally, because you are awesome Togo, just worried about the precedent that it might set.

In addition to this: is it an idea to try and get some group-consensus on how much BBP (ballpark) we should pay for a particular 'job', before making it a proposal?
