TestNet - BiblePay-Evolution & GSCs (Generic Smart Contracts)

Sorry wrong version number

Daemon/cli for Linux amd64, available here
https://www.biblepay.org/biblepayd-1.4.1.8-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

1.4.1.8-Mandatory Upgrade for TestNet

- Improve GSC consensus rule
- Add historical BTC price to each gsc superblock for future reports
- Prevent multiple UI popups within 7 seconds

Could some people please confirm they have upgraded?

I only see my sancs have upgraded (3) and a couple single nodes.


We have a lot to test starting at block 40,000 so we need some help in order to make the June deadline.

Does anyone agree with this hash:
getblockhash 39718
442b195612beaa846afcc49d5fa4e3184e94bcff6200f2a486cf71ae0cfe58c0


** ABN **

I enabled ABN (anti-botnet).  We can start testing this next.  ABN required weight is currently 1000.

QT starts at block 40,000.  We can test them both.

I see we have a problem syncing from 0 in testnet (bad block at 31150).

Some people are past it some aren't.

Will send out a release correcting this problem in 1 hour.

1.4.1.9-Leisure upgrade for TestNet

- Fix bad configuration setting allowing a bad block in at 31150

If anyone has a low diff, just upgrade then resync and lets see if we can test the 40K features.

After resyncing my sancs and starting them I see this hash:

getblockhash 40668

Line 16 after cloning the repo I needed to cd into it

Code: [Select]

cd biblepay-evolution
Line 23 I ran into issue trying to run make command

I ran:

uname -ato confirm my architecture

For this command:

Code: [Select]

./configure --prefix {pwd}/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
I had to use:

Code: [Select]

./configure --prefix `pwd`/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

I also used the swap file commands since Im on 1GB:

Code: [Select]

free #check if swap is 0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000
mkswap /var/swap.img
swapon /var/swap.img
free #check if swap is 1024
Ill let you guys know when Im synced up and ready for some tBBP

After resyncing my sancs and starting them I see this hash:

Thanks -

1) I added the swap file commands to the BuildBiblePay.txt file at the beginning as Optional.

2) I see what you mean about {pwd}.  I believe I didnt run into that problem is I typed out the path.  I have changed it to `pwd` in the docs.

3) Our build-generic.md is in the repo also, but I realize it can't be found without navigating around github as its probably not searchable on google yet.

4) Glad you got through the depends hurdle, that is the main hurdle to upgrade to Evo.

5) Ill send some tBBP, but I see we have 20 new nodes online, so we are all at different heights. 

well I resynced and my last block is 34929

I see a similar problem, my 3 sancs reorged back to 34929 when these 20 new nodes came online.

Let me explain to everyone one conundrum (this affects Dash also).  The sancs must be online in order for our daily superblock consensus to work, and for masternode payments to work (as their vote heights must be exact and correct), and the sancs go out of sync when the supermajority of the miners reorganize (meaning they need Re-Enabled manually).  While they are not enabled, the entire network is really just free-riding.  Its that chicken and egg issue I explained earlier.

Once the sancs are enabled while they are at a similar height as the supermajority things should clear up.

Right now all sancs are out of sync and disabled.

I'm seeing this hash:

If your node does not agree, please try this additional step, in addition to deleting the normal 6 folders and files (evodb, chainstate, blocks, mnp*, mnc*, gov*) also delete : /SAN/*.*

Then restart.

I've been trying to catch up with you guys for more than a week now Every time I finally had my nodes up and running, you guys already jumped to the next version :p

Anyway, I have two nodes that are also stuck in the 35*** range. Will try to delete these files and see what happens.

Deleting those files helped I'm synced to the chain with the same hash for block 42424:

Next step will be to try and set up some sanctuaries I guess
