I have 20 x GSC transmissions at 15375 (62 confirmations ago) similar to the one below.

Code: [Select]

--
    "account": "",
    "address": "yejTJcE9cSHMfC6H3ncbURt9MWPYc2kWPv",
    "category": "send",
    "amount": -22.50906346,
    "label": "CHRISTIAN-PUBLIC-KEY",
    "vout": 2,
    "fee": -0.00880000,
    "confirmations": 61,
    "instantlock": false,
    "instantlock_internal": false,
    "chainlock": false,
    "GSC-Stake-Transmission": true,
    "blockhash": "0ba03f7f4f7b84cf6a297a5da4e87b019afee2a648f67ed6016b67221ff18af9",
    "blockindex": 9,
    "blocktime": 1573417659,
    "txid": "128503ab7c59d4af7992a72ffa245196a7b967ccaf3393b9f2ba1343c1a2f648",
    "walletconflicts": [
    ],
    "time": 1573417187,
    "timereceived": 1573417187,
    "abandoned": false
  },

However, I was not appearing on the leader board as somehow the association with wcg was flaky and exec rac (later the following day) said I was not associated but from my earlier post, if was clear that I was.

However `sendgscc wcg` followed by `exec rac` as per your suggestion allowed me to now be in the leaderboard.

Yeah, I was around that day and the problem was that I told people they didnt need to upgrade the sancs and they did; once they upgraded, the leaderboard started populating.

It was an issue where the contract was not being voted on; but everything looks fine now, so you should not see any flakiness in exec health.

One more update on Biblepay Vs. Gridcoin.

To be unbanked you have to have less than 250 RAC and be part of BiblePay.

If RAC > 250, you must have the appropriate stake.

To be on Gridcoin, you must have the stake met AND have > 250 RAC, as we don't support unbanked non-bbp researchers.  (They aren't imported into our client, which keeps the network lean & fast).

I setup a masternode

I used these old testnet notes:
https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=108.msg1444#msg1444

I noticed I didnt have to run: masternode start-alias
and it seemed like its not a command anymore?

then I updated to deterministic
https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/clyxyc/upgrading_masternodes_sanctuaries_to/

I see myself in the Sanctuaries tab!

===

Also I see a GSC Transmission just sent a block ago, Label: WCG for 10564.60703610 BBP

exec rac also works

Nice!  I see it now.

This is good, we are starting to get the Leaderboard filled.

Btw, for anyone who didnt notice, the WCG GSC "Points" column is equal to the Researchers RAC.

We automatically lower the RAC when the stake is not met.

I see Capulo for example is the only one on the board with a lower Points than his RAC, so he probably didnt stake enough.

BiblePay
1.4.6.8g-Leisure Upgrade

- Fix issue preventing the proper exec associate save-in-chain for WCG
- Add underpinnings for DWS

** This is the windows version.  You can also optionally pull the latest and upgrade.  The linux binary will probably be tomorrow due to the time difference **

** You only need to upgrade if you are trying to associate the cpid, or use the controller wallet, sancs should not need to upgrade **

EDIT:  To know that you upgraded, type 'exec associate 0' and you will see "v1.2".

Will the sancs please upgrade also?  It turns out we need this to process the wcg researchers in the GSC.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

worked! Thanks!

Boinc has been a bit unstable for me (I think my computer is kind of dying a little lol), but it will freeze my machine up when running it for awhile (monitor will come on but Ill get no signal), Im going to test using the VirtualBox download

Maybe your fan is going, I had one where it would freeze when the cpu hit 100% to protect from thermal overload.
Id check the cpu fan to see if its sticking or maybe the case fans.
Also you can install a cpu monitor, i think cpu-z might show the temps.

Sweet that you got further.  I think in your case, the associate just had to mature.
I just added a new feature to the next version, where we can type 'exec rac' with an optional researcher nickname or cpid.
Looking at your rac now:


12:40:29

exec rac capulo


12:40:29

{
  "Command": "rac",
  "cpid": "e7c056024cd3b781edd5af37965c652c",

  "wcg_id": 1066130,
  "rac": 10773.031035
}


I see rac now.  Can you please confirm your exec rac started populating?

Also lets see if your client sent out the 'sendgscc wcg' at the height of 15375 automatically?

(That is if your node is on right now).

I updated to latest version with precompiled Linux 64 bit

exec associate 0
// returned: Unable to find 0.

exec associate Byteball_3b162762 XXXX
// I was able to associate successfully!

wcg_member_id:  1073152
wcg_points:  21186268
cpid:   93138f032bdd027fa3246b48bb715a77
rac:  294.861381

Maybe try exec associate without zero?  I might have done it that way.

Excellent on the rac!

}

10:42:02 sendgscc wcg
10:42:03
{
  "Results": true
}


Thats good news, so far we have 2 more on board in testnet, but - when it sent the associate transmission was it 0 this time plus the tx fee?

I still dont see anywhere in the code that we will use up 5000, unless :  You use the dev spork command in Testnet only, which obviously Im sure you didnt do because that would not have sent an associate.

Ill check your rac out next.

Awesome.  I dont see you in the leaderboard yet though, although you can wait 24 hours, you can manually kick it off with 'sendgscc wcg'.

I see you have a lot of coin-age from above, so it should happen automatically.

Btw, notice the next podc_transmission block above is 15375.
Can you please check if the transmission went out at 15375?  Thats in 19 blocks it looks like.

So, it looks that I'm totally noob, because it still doesn't work.

Code: [Select]

21:32:50
exec associate orbis XXXXX true

21:32:53
{
  "Command": "associate",
  "wcg_member_id": 1065540,

  "Results": true,
  "Welcome Aboard!": "You have successfully joined the BiblePay Proof Of Distributed Comuting (PODC) grid, and now you can help cure cancer, AIDS, and make the world a better place!  God Bless You!"
}
After six block still nothing and here is result of exec rac:

Code: [Select]

  "Command": "rac",
  "Error": "Not Linked.  First, you must link your researcher CPID in the chain using 'exec associate'.",I checked that associate  command many times, it looks good, but I'm now not sure because it still doesn't work
I read your posts again and I found, that in this post you wrote this:So, I tried it didn't help too (my nickname on WCG and CPK is the same "orbis"):

Code: [Select]

exec associate orbis orbis XXXX true
Unable to find orbis.  Please type exec rac to see helpful hints to proceed.  (code -1)
I really don't know what I'm doing bad
I'm using downloaded WIN wallet 1469.
BTW after each associate it still get 5k tBBP from me: https://prnt.sc/purfwj
I've tried do make "exec cpk orbis" again, but it didn't worked, because nickname is already taken.

After looking at the code, I am very, very curious about fixing 2 things:  The 5001 (as I still dont see that) and the blank CPID being inserted in the chain only for Orbis:  Orbis can you please PM me your wcg code?  (It can always be changed later).

I need to reproduce!  Thanks.

Thats awesome on the partial success, Orbis.

I'm kind of surprised we are having so many small issues - its probably due to these partial successful associations etc.

What Im getting at is, for some reason, your WCG record was stored with no CPID.  I don't even see how that can happen because we do check for the length of it to be 32 before we save your record.

First let me answer your question:

The normal newbie would do this:
exec cpk nickname
wait 5 blocks
exec associate orbis wcg_userid wcg_code
wait 5 blocks
type :
exec rac

And see your rac.  But -- I think you re probably seeing 0 for the rac right now.  However, I do see that you are on the team and can see your cpid.

Can you do me a favor... please try the exec associate again with force=true after it, and see if it shows your CPID and RAC right after association?
CLARIFICATION:  Plz do it this way:
exec associate wcg_username wcg_verificationcode true

Ill have to try to reproduce this; so far Ive associated my cpid 4 times successfully.  Lets also see if anyone else has tested this yet.

Ill check into the 5k issue.

Hi Orbis,

I see that exec associate charges 0 + fees.  Are you sure you are typing exec associate to generate that transaction?

EDIT:  I did a reassociate; it charged me 0.  Your running a compiled version of bbp?

2009

TestNet Discussion Archive / Re: TestNet - PODC 2.0 (Proof of Distributed Computing)

« on: November 09, 2019, 02:13:47 PM »

BTW, it's needed to run any command after associate (e.g. sendgscc) to run WCG within BBP network? Or it's enough to wait?

Once you see that 'exec rac' is showing a RAC > 1, and, showing your CPID, then all you would need to do is this:
sendgscc wcg

And that would put you in the smart contract daily.  But, we have podc 2.0 designed to automatically do that once per day at a certain height (which I will explain later), but - you would have had to leave the controller running for 24 hours.
