Testnet June 2018 Mandatory Upgrade Testing Thread

[jaapgvk]

i dont have watchdog setup, the MN is runnin on windows same as the controller wallet.  maybe thats my problem?

Based on the instructions on pg1 it didn't sound like this was required.. i'll see about setting it up

Currently, a sanctuary only runs well on Linux because of the watchdog requirement. You can start a Sanctuary on a Windows-rig, but it will eventually say 'Watchdog expired'.

===
MINOR  UI:

- Move Proposals menu to a tab like Sanctuaries
---- Set Proposal List to be its own internal window
- Add Scrolling and Dragging abilities to Proposal List
---- or Find way to Shorten the information

===
QUESTION #1:
Should the Proposals Window also show other Governance information?

===
NICE TO HAVE:

--- Add Next Superblock Block Number (getgovernanceinfo: "nextsuperblock")
--- Add Superblock Budget Amount (getgovernanceinfo: "nextbudget")

--- Add Estimated Superblock Date/Time
(("nextsuperblock" - currentblock) * 7 min avg block time)

--- Add Visual Indicator or Sort/Separate Proposals based on if they are currently passing or not.
Example: https://dashvotetracker.com/

--- Add Full Budget Bar Chart (Total Budget and Currently Passing Budget)

===
HARDER:

--- Add ability to View Previous/Past Superblocks proposals/charts/info
--- Add Multi Bar Chart Split by Budget sections/types (IT, PR, P2P)

===
QUESTION #2:
- Add ability to Create Proposal to Wallet,
I assume we still need to wait on this?

============
IDEAS (NEED FEEDBACK):

- Pop Up / Notification
--- when New Proposal submitted?
--- Reminder to Vote on Proposals X days before end of cycle?
--- when Superblock is mined?
--- when Masternode leaves ENABLED state?

Awesome list Togo

IDEAS (NEED FEEDBACK):

- Pop Up / Notification
--- when New Proposal submitted?
--- Reminder to Vote on Proposals X days before end of cycle?
--- when Superblock is mined?
--- when Masternode leaves ENABLED state?

I think that these are great ideas. I don't know it it's technically possible, but it sounds awesome. I especially like the 'voting reminder' one.

Thanks for the list, I'm looking at the github commits and internally debugging the consensus feature, please hang on all.

[Rob Andrews]

I'll take a look at this pull.

Wow, nice work!  I actually thought you were pulling my leg all this time, I didn't know you actually knew how to program.

Great job dude!

Alright I merged it in and the next version is out there for Linux, but I have to get my son, so I don't think I can get windows out til tomorrow.

Updated to v1.1.3.4, Sanctuary Enabled still

Update: Few hours, No problems so far

Im filtering by PODC Update, and my transactions are 1,100 BBP
and I check my RAC and its 462.94
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_user.php?userid=1987760

so I need 462.94 x 18 BBP staked to get max reward, which is: 8,332.92 BBP
The wallet has 18.9 million BBP

exec getboincinfo:
UTXOWeight: 1112
Total_RAC: 462.94

I submitted a pull request to for some simple UI filter options.  It seems there are a few more on github waiting to be merged /reviewed as well.

edit: re-enabled my masternodes on the latest ver.

I took a look at the pull request. I was actually looking for a 'superblock payment' filter last week when I needed an overview of BBP payments for CameroonONe. Awesome!

Unrelated: I've updated my Sanctuary to 1.1.3.4. Rob, are there specific things we need to test now?

[Rob Andrews]

Could someone do me a favor who is running the daemon and see if this has stopped happening?

I just released the latest version as a windows version also btw.


Let me see what test cases are left.

I never had this happen to me...

[sunk818]

biblepaytest.conf
testnet=1
server=1
masternodeprivkey=xxx
masternode=0

-conf as a parameter to cdhoose different .conf file didn't work for me, but putting testnet=1 in biblepay.conf worked.

[jaapgvk]

biblepaytest.conf
testnet=1
server=1
masternodeprivkey=xxx
masternode=0

then i ran biblepay-qt -conf=biblepaytest.conf but when i go to tools debug console, says network is main.

my receive address starts with a b, so i don't think i'm in testnet

-conf didn't work for me, but putting testnet=1 in biblepay.conf worked.

sorry if you covered in this thread or another...

looks like i mined 1M in a few minutes enough for MN.

I never tried the '-conf' line, but you can also add the '-testnet' line, and your wallet will start in testnet.

I tested from QT Wallet, Tools >> Debug Console >>> stop, no issues

Ran command line daemon, waited for blocks to load and verify, ./biblepay-cli stop, no issues

Thanks, I strongly believe I caused the stop issue when I was working on the podc unlock feature.  It had something to do with asking the headless user for the password modally.  I remember I moved that feature over to the the biblepay-cli tool (so it would be on demand not modal).

Im pretty sure that fixed the problem on that day, so Ill close the stop issue for now.

-conf as a parameter to cdhoose different .conf file didn't work for me, but putting testnet=1 in biblepay.conf worked.

Using the -conf parameter is a way to get around adding all the other flags on boot (IE -testnet=1) etc.  But more importantly it allows you to set a different rpcport than your running prod instance.

Anyway if you put your biblepaytest.conf in your ~/.biblepaycore directory it should work. 
Start with

./biblepay-qt -conf=biblepaytest.conf

Also, you can put testnet=1 in your biblepaytest.conf, and leave it out of biblepay.conf.
