Ok, Im back and I see 2 of you did vote on the contract while I was down, which is great, in last superblock.
Why dont we try checking this next contract out without forcing it?

Mike are you online?

So I kind of answered my own question.  What I meant by force, was if users keep typing exec testvote, they are forcing a vote for their contract hash (which the code will do anyway, once per block).
So checking to see what kind of support we have for the  next superblock (without typing exec testvote),  you can type
cat debug.log | grep ExecuteDistributed -A5
And you will see what your node thinks its doing as blocks click by.  In my case it says "PENDING SUPERBLOCK", meaning two Sancs already voted on block #5643, telling me there will be a superblock.

Each Sancs vote only counts once per filehash.

My rewards seem to be around 150K at present

  "LastSuperblockHeight": 5346,
  "Payments": 153915,
  "Budget": 1386000,
  "Magnitude": 111.0497835497836
}

Glad to hear your being PAID!  Nice!
And heres a little more info on mag:
The magnitude is a value between 1-1000, with 1000 being the highest you can achieve in Biblepay (its impossible because 1000 means you are doing all the work).

Anyway if you divide the mag by 10, its equal to Your Share of the Last SUperblock.

So in Lukes case, he should receive 11% of the 1.386MM coins.  Looks like he did:  153K is 11% of the superblock.


So far so good all.... I like this, and I also like the plethora of tweaks a miner can make to their clock speeds and system boot options (mining as a service, running cross platform, mining multi machines against one CPID), sleep options, etc.

Updated both my testnet wallets to 1.0.8.9

showblock 5228:

Code: [Select]

"blockmessage": "",
  "satisfiesbiblehash": "true",
  "biblehash": "0000000af3d9ac2d23b4eef3f5b0fd9303e6ca61b432fe2a15e5dbf50ce72bc7",

}

Thanks, Ill work on that botnet-busting feature a different way, so dont worry about the blockmessage for now, it needs a change.

Hi, it still dont work for me. I've tried Togo's "force" command and it still gave me this message: 
"Results": "Unable to sign CPID 04fba56d89a5eb38b1b82f8a6240132c"
If I run it on BOINC sw it goes well, but inside BBP it didn't work...

The force command is only if you are moving your wallet.

So this particular error occurs if you have an ecrypted locked wallet.
Could you please ensure you have more than 5 bbp available, wallet is unencrypted and unlocked, and that you have receiveing addresses available?
Then once you have one type:
sendtoaddress bbp_address 1

Let me know if that goes through properly?

Have you done anything strange to the wallet?
What version you running, headless or qt, and what OS?

One more question, what happens when you type:
signmessage bbp_address CPID1
(only replace bbp_address with your bbp_address)?

I see someone just upgraded to 1089 (I have one 1089 peer), can I ask a favor, could you please type :
showblock 5228
And paste what is in 'blockmessage'?
Im trying to implement the botnet busting rule in testnet.

Scholarly Assumptions regarding Cancer-Mining:

1- With the CPID-heat-mining rule, the botnet is busted, as you must have a CPID with RAC to heat mine in the future.
2- An unbanked person in a 3rd world country can potentially mine on an ARM-tablet or ARM-cellphone, and earn enough to buy a loaf of bread, without owning a home PC, each week.
3- With PODC enabled and POL disabled and CPID-heat-mining (with POBH of course) enabled, the rich do not get richer, but instead wealth is
 transferred to cancer researchers.

I think the unnoticed effect here, #2, is tightly aligned with our humanitarian mission for the unbanked.

It is even possible, if our value rises, with currencies that are worth 10* less that the unbanked may make more money from BBP cancer mining than they do in hard labor.  Dont some countries pay $.50 cents an hour for minimum wage?  Thats $28 a week.  I argue that it is *possible* to feed a whole family if cancer mining pays $100 a month.

Rob, do you know if the Measured floating point speed on the stat page is for 1 processor or for 32 as he has? According to the cpu list that CPU should be getting 3 GFLOPS per core and that processor has 8 cores. If that score is per core then he is right on target.

Now if I click on applications list, you can see every instance is about 3 GFLOPS. I'm wondering if he has 1 instance on each core because that would be right.

On cpubenchmark.net:
Dual E5-2630 v2 - 16,123
Dual Xeon X5660 - 11,719

Both of these have 6 cores but the score on the cpu list for a 6 core E5-2630 v2 is 338 GFLOPS and a 12 core X5660 is 175 GFLOPS. That makes the E5-2630 v2 4 times faster then the X5660 which doesn't make any sense. I think the number of cores for the E5-2630 v2 is listed wrong, should be 12. Is there someone you can ask about that? Thanks.

Hi Mike, Ill probably be able to put some time and effort into building a faster personal rosetta miner over here in a couple months but for now its probably best to post this in the Rosetta forum.  Now that you have a Rosetta-boinc account you can post it there.  Im trying to push out the workload a little to everyone now so we can grow to be a professional org.   The people from boinc wont reply to this as they have gone into retirement, but the community is large and thriving.

Im trying to go back through and answer anything I missed:

1) Daily Superblocks and payment frequency:
In Prod its set for Daily, @202 blocks per day.  Remember we are going to adjust the DGW width in Prod to give us 7 min superblocks, so that should be daily in prod.
However in testnet, our blocks are 1 minute, so we really have about 6 superblocks per day in testnet. 

But we can still verify the exact accuracy, by looking at individual superblocks.  We should verify:  Are we hitting all of them, are the amounts correct and are the totals correct.

2) How to look at a superblock:  After exec getboincinfo, then you know the last superblock height.

Type 'showblock lastsuperblockheight'
Get the first coinbase txid from the showblock into clipboard
Type
getrawtransaction txid 1
Look at each payment

Ensure block is > 1 million payout, then you know its a superblock.

How do I check the superblock?

I had 1 million tBBP starting out, and now I have  about 7.85 million tBBP, I have only mined a few minutes, so I assume the rest is from Research

./biblepay-cli getgovernanceinfo
{
  "governanceminquorum": 1,
  "masternodewatchdogmaxseconds": 57600,
  "proposalfee": 5.00000000,
  "superblockcycle": 1435,
  "lastsuperblock": 4305,
  "nextsuperblock": 5740
}

https://testnet.biblepay-explorer.org/block/4305
https://testnet.biblepay-explorer.org/tx/18611b21c5c0b024cf168a6cc4b79563d9aacb02c916498f9117ef414b3d21d4

Oh wait we have daily superblocks right?

My testnet sanctuary (masternode) address is: yh4nfiwoS94uqR7yMibib6UDe7kqxXRyCe

My masternode in masternode list: "da2c3baaec7206bc1ea01df1f230e4c4dfa77a5a37ce3a9bf3a078078664c772-1"

Im looking through blocks, mostly see 599BBP payouts: https://testnet.biblepay-explorer.org/blocks

I do see a 5,997 payout at block 5148 and 5136

Hi Togo,
Looks like you are running an old version, cause 1088q+ shows payments in 'exec getboincinfo.
The  5997 payment is the masternode payment.  The large # of 599 payments is pow-pobh-heat miner payments.

Your Large Payment of 300K or so per payment should be in your transaction list somewhere, going to the Wallet address associated with the cpid. You can see that address in 'exec getboincinfo. 


Hey Guys, now that I need to ensure everyone is on 1089 in prod (or less than 1088) so we can get prod voting working, I had to check in 1089 which is the "old" protocol version.  Now I cant connect in testnet.

Could everyone please Upgrade to 1089 , especially sancs?

We need to anyway as there is a rule change in 1089 requiring 2 Or More sanctuaries in Testnet to agree on the SanctauryQuorum vote.  (Before it was just 1 to get us started).


Thanks,
Rob

EDIT: Windows is almost ready... standby about 30 more mins for windows...

I have about the same magnitude (360).  So since you have magnitude, you should have received about 31% of the rewards in the last superblock.
Did you have a 330,000 reward in last superblock?

Ok so sanctuaries need to run as GUI (QT),
With Windows I just use Remote Desktop,
For Linux I will have to google solution, and hopefully 1GB RAM Vultr server will support GUI?

Quick search, I am seeing many solutions: xRDP, VNC, X11, Blackbox, Ubuntu Desktop, Any recommended?

Awesome guide btw Togo, thanks!

Hey, did your exec getboincinfo ever start showing magnitude for you?  Lets let these guys understand when the mag rises in the client?

For me it took about 24 hours.

Okay, my GUI mode masternode is set-up and in 'PRE-ENABLED' mode 

Everything seems to be working.

Also getting the 'exception' others reported btw:

Code: [Select]

EXCEPTION: N5boost10filesystem16filesystem_errorE       
boost::filesystem::last_write_time: No such file or directory: "/home/jaap-ubuntu/.biblepaycore/SAN/magnitude"       
biblepay in ProcessMessages()

1) Great!  We are getting there now, this is heating up!  I see 7 or so team members have also joined.

2) I thought we fixed this in 1088q,  btw are you running 1088q with this one?

3) If so,please type 'exec dcc', then cd to ~/.biblepaycore/SAN
lets see if you have a magnitude file now?

If so I may need to add one more line of code.
