BIBLEPAY - TESTNET THREAD - TESTING SANCTUARIES FOR GO LIVE AT CHRISTMAS

I just deleted blocks and chainstates and it's resyncing right now (the testnet explorer is actually already synced. It just takes a few minutes for the mongo database to reindex everything).

Somehow my nodes never banned anyone.

I just checked and I also have ad4510d1c7fa0ca1cda93c4119581374612737ea41fa5e9e338c65ebd273308a for 54088.

Its possible my nodes banned you when you went on the fork originally (as you would be voting to not pay my 3 masternodes , thats why it gets so severe.  Your nodes say No Im not going to add a payee that I dont know about.  My nodes say you must pay these 5 nodes, in this order.

Alright I added checkpoints, and I counted 50 forks in getchaintips Before checkpoints.  Let me see how many we have now after checkpoints.

Oh ok. What is weird though is that I was still connected to 20 nodes and receiving bad headers before I resynced.

I'm now on the good chain and I am pretty sure I am connected to the same 20 nodes. (also isn't one of your node the seed node?). So it looks like I didn't ban anyone and no one banned me?

Yes true, but it is also possible my node.biblepay.org only banned you for 1-8 hours (IE one d-dos level 1 ban per bad header received) putting you on a bad fork and while we were looking at it its possible the ban expired.

Anyway I was going to say this is such a critical test, before Christmas, I think we really need to fix the chaintip issue and force a protocol upgrade to 70709, just to ensure we have a long span of uptime for all of our core masternodes.

Just a heads up everyone, I am writing the code to force a network upgrade on testnet only, so please be ready to upgrade as during the next upgrade, all the nodes will disconnect on each other if they are running a prior to 1.0.6.3 version.

It should be out in about 30 mins....

1.0.6.3-Mandatory Upgrade for TESTNET

Please all, in testnet, please upgrade to 1.0.6.3.

The entire network is down until we upgrade.

Building windows for controllers now...

how big will be traffic on VPS for masternodes?

The testnet BX has been upgraded.

Not much, masternodes only take up 10% more than bitcoin.

The testnet BX has been upgraded.

Success!

Chaintips is clean!

Crossing fingers this trend continues til Christmas...

Still waiting for windows to finish compiling....

A couple more tips:
If your getchaintips is not clean, restart with -reindex flag, and resync.

Next, if your sanctuary list differs from Alex, delete your mncache.dat and restart.

Windows compile of 1.0.6.3 is out there now, feel free to upgrade controllers.

wut? do you know what is traffic? how big will be internet traffic for 1 month? will be enough 500GB traffic?

im stuck ...

EDIT:// 1st im deleted mncache.dat and resyncing nad stuck still

EDIT:// 2nd test and still im on bad chain and stuck still

EDIT://3rd test and still on bad chain= deleted chainstate+blocks+peers.dat and stuck still

i gave up

I think you forgot to describe your question.  Just click Tools | Network Traffic and monitor it for a while.

Just delete your banlist.dat and your peers.dat and your mncache.dat and then sync.

Rob: ouch  didnt know that we have calculator internet traffic in win: thanks:nice

Rob: im deleted peers.dat mncache and sync and still im on bad chain: banlist i hadnt in folder

EDIT:// im offline and received 2 rewards ... something is wrong after last update wallet

Ive gone through this before and something is either cached in your mncache, peers (a ddossed node) or chainstate.

To be on the safe side :
cd \testnet3
rm blocks -R
rm chainstate -R
rm mncache.dat
rm peers.dat
rm banlist.dat

Then remove any extra .dat file for governance
Then resync.  I do not think you will end on the wrong chain after that as we have 6 masternodes on the chain with higher work now.

so deleted db.log and masternode is alive..... ENABLED

but what i see that we are all stuck on block 54 349
