Testnet - Test Proof of Giving

[sunk818]

So, will there be a GUI checkbox for participating in PoG?
Check on = tithe=1
Check off = tithe=0

[sunk818]

Can anyone test where tithe=6 (try to donate every 6 minutes).

I keep getting the QT wallet to crash.

1.1.7.2b
Mandatory Upgrade for TestNet

Ready for MacOS and testnet PPAs are building now

[sunk818]

Can someone give me the addnodes again to put in the conf?

I tried

addnode=testnet.biblepay.org
addnode=node.biblepay.org

so far, I'm getting just solo mining blocks and can get any other peer.

[Rob Andrews]

Ive had my testnet nodes down for 2 1/2 days - I just made an attempt at resyncing - anyone up to provide a blockhash?

[Rob Andrews]

I'm the only one showing in the pool in testnet,  but I don't seem to be getting any rewards from the pool (just the mining rewards)

Yeah, if you are by yourself, your node is probably mining every block, and also paying you 100% of the tier payment block also.  You would have to pull up your txid and type 'getrawtransaction txid 1' to see it.

[sunk818]

Someone is running 1173 is that you Rob? I finally got peers. One test node seems to be okay but other two are just solo mining blocks with no peers

Yeah, 1.1.7.3 is why Ive been MIA for 2 1/2 days, yes its me.  It does not have any POG changes in it however.

Anyway, I see the problem in general in testnet.  When we have less than 3 nodes with a consensus, the nodes arent trusting each other to download blocks.  The other problem is chainstate contains a few too many chain tip problems (IE some blocks appear to be marked as bad from all these upgrades).

What we need to do is restart with -reindex (but not by deleting the chainstate and the blocks) and let it resync - that clears all the boolean masks on each block and then we should trust each other again.

Let me post a blockhash, I just reindexed 3 and they seem to be syncing up properly now.



getblockhash 96825

[Rob Andrews]

Im synced on all my nodes now (after -reindex worked), but dont see TheSnat or anyone else yet - you guys are probably on all different chains.

Once we all get on the same chain Ill check the logs after that point.

[Rob Andrews]

I havent seen any crashing...

Just an FYI, a crash means the program actually ended (IE segfaulted).

If this happens please run it in valgrind.

[Rob Andrews]

I had 2 clients with hash of cd92bf4727388a839ef25c8dfc33879cebd034a7863fcfd32a5a09222a9d96c6 for your block.

trying the reindex

Yeah I saw that we had one fork; but I also saw looking at peers we had 5 not reindex and 5 indexed so its a crapshoot on what was going on - lets see if after you reindex we take another look and see if we can have a consistent 24 hours.

It should be apparent if pog diff stays relatively smooth (IE 20K+).  However I noticed on my two whale boxes, Im running out of tithe money (I have 25 tithes left at this diff level on each box).

Actually to elaborate when I first reindexed I had that hash, then my 3 nodes reorged and I did start getting Your hash (cd9) on all nodes.  Just to start this process over again, here is my new hash:

getblockhash 97175

Pog Diff is around 20K.

[Rob Andrews]

Got that hash on the block explorer machine..

The other 2 crashed,  this is debug log from one, will grab the other if it does.  (this is during the reindex)

Size too large means the block index is > 32 mb, meaning the block file is corrupted.  In this case you must kill the files and re-sync the chain.

This is a normal assert they put in for a corruption sanity check.

Good news, on my dev node running Pog I finally encountered a crash.  Btw, even though I was not running valgrind and the log is not useful, if you ever see a message printed on the console during the crash, that is useful.

In this case it was "An exception of UniValue was thrown and terminate called". 

Im running it in valgrind now - lets hope this is the same thing Sun reported.

If anyone else has crashed please run in valgrind - lets find the line #.

TheSnat found it first in valgrind.  The great news is this appears to be the same error (during mining) affecting all 3 of us.

The fix is completed and the new version is being compiled now...
