Good. And - how does it feel, to be controlling your own cloud machines now?

After an ampersanded (&) command, you get the prompt back in the shell. Latest, when you press enter then.


You can study it by greping all processes for "gsoil" or "gsoiltestnet". And by looking at the tail of the logfile:

End that neverending (-f) logfileprinting with Ctrl-C.

The
redirects the stderr to stdout.

And then both end up into that same logfile.

And the
makes the process hand back the control, so you can continue in your shell.


I guess so. Just log out, and log back in, and use the above ps command - and you'll see if that is the case.

If not, (please tell us, and then) run it with nohup. I.e.:

See https://linux.die.net/man/1/nohup


cryptococcus called it "straightforward using the tutorials".  Happy to hear that.   Anyone else also wanna try now?

Even though basic, you are a coder, good. Helpful for many things.

Great. Any flaws in those tutorials, please report them. Thanks.

Great. Who has been able to get in contact with him?


About your node, and everyone's nodes:

NETSTATS

I have recently learned how to set up cubedro's "eth-netstats", and then connect a "eth-net-intelligence-api" client to it.

The public dashboard looks like this:



I offer to set it up for SOIL - but only IF -->

--> people now say:
        YES, I am running or am going to run a node, and
        YES, I am going to get the client for netstats set up.
               (Not very difficult, you just need to install node and then work through a few steps.)


So, who is in?

MAINNET WALLETS

A table could be useful, which maps each of the following 9 wallet links to its version string, and checks each that it is working:


The above is a direct copy - but for your real money,
do not trust links to wallets posted into a thread.

Trust only links in the OP !

anyone finding this useful?

btc.hopto.org

... and I have now -additionally to the redirect- put a clickable link on btc.hopto.org

Honestly sorry for not being here recently.  Started a new job, moved into a new city, very busy.
I had always had the plan to spend more time on SOIL again, once I am more settled in. Now.

I'd like to hear your opinion:

(GOODBYE) If the community feels investing more time into SOIL is futile, then let's bury it. I destroy my nodes, and perhaps deploy my existing smart contract (see below) on a different chain.

(CONTINUE) If however you think or feel that this beautiful attempt at an ecology oriented chain should survive indeed, then why not read further back in this thread?  YOU can put some time into playing with and learning about smart contracts, and use simple Linux server admin commands to get your own cheap server up, etc..  And if not that, then come on board anyways, and show yourself, and say what you are good at, and how you want to help SOIL. And then start doing that. One good thing of this new tech is that you need not ask anyone for permission; if you have an idea, and some time - you just do it.

What I am contributing at the moment:

TESTNET v1.4.1

I am paying to have 2 cheap servers running testnet soil with the new Homestead SOIL code that martymcfly2015 has contributed (his announcement, my tutorials for it).  One is just running and holding most of the genesis block testnetcoins, the other one is mining testnetcoins.

I have just checked them now:

and


So: the new code has been running happily on testnet since autumn. A good sign.

What could be done next is mentioned here:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1176709.msg16855673#msg16855673 - anyone?



MAINNET v1.3.3 / 1.4.0
(Remind me please, what was the difference between 1.3.3 and 1.4.0 ? Thanks.)

weathercontract and oracle

My oracle server is happily running - http://weathercontract.hopto.org/oracle/

To interact with the smart contract "weathercontract" is really not difficult, I have written good tutorials. See this post as a starting point. Just try it out now. You will appreciate what you are learning on the way, believe me.

The oracle needs a running node to listen to the events and send transactions - so as a side effect, I am also running a permanent mainnet node there (on a third paid VPS server):


So that mainnet node has been running continuously for 6 months, since 2016 July 15th.

I have rebooted the whole droplet now, and started the eventlogloop of the oracle, and tested it.
It is working fine! http://weathercontract.hopto.org/oracle/

Back to the top: IF you answer the initial question with (CONTINUE), then keep on reading:

Just to clarify, I just cannot be THE dev. However,

I would cooperate with other people who are good at what they like to do, and who dedicate some spare time to this.  The sadly cheap price has a happy aspect: New people can come in now. A great opportunity for all of us - so if we really get this off the ground together, there is a nonzero chance that everyone who puts only a bit of money in it now, AND at the same time starts working towards reviving this thread, coin, and community, might get profit out of it, and is then also able to share some of that profit. But this is not an investment advice, do your own thinking. The current situation could easily mean that you will loose 100% of your investment.

One wish: I ask you to consider one thing, if you start playing in the waves of the high volatility now: Please put some of your profits aside, to be able to later help this coin. Either SOIL or even BTC. We need angels who want to profit AND want to share - for giveaways, donations, paying for servers, development work, etc.. One such suggestion already:

Please, Abvhiael - what could we do for you? What would allow you to get you back on board?  
If more people join in, I am willing to donate some SOIL and some BTC into a fund - which pays Abvhiael money to continue with his previously superb work.


So - what does everybody think?  Really curious about the answers now ...

Just to clarify ... poptok1's problem was fully solved:

Thanks a lot. Happy trading.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Ah, good to know.

Probably it is caused by your personal settings in your browser. You could try a different browser.


Other people are reporting that same issue (on sites that are not mine), that pressing that button does absolutely nothing. More like a Firefox bug than anything else, I suppose.  I have found out about that with some googling:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1018306
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1064632
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/776931


Looks like you have configured your browser in a way that is useful for e.g. blind people - to prevent redirects without them noticing it. You might want to reconsider that (unless you are blind of course).

To prevent redirecting ... "is an accessibility feature and not a security feature".

> FF50.1.0 WinXp/32bit
Same version that I am using, only 64bit.

Thx a lot for the screenshot.

What does the sentence at the top translate to?
What does "Zezwol" do?
What is the red "UD" extension at the top right?

Hi poptok1
Thanks a lot for your advice.


Strange. I have now tested it with:
* Firefox 50.1.0
* Chrome 55.0.2883.87
* IceDragon 45.0.0.5
* Opera 42.0.2393.94

And all are working perfectly on http://btc.hopto.org/
Please tell me your browser, perhaps I can replicate the error that you are seeing.
AND: Could you send me screenshots, thanks.

Please try a hard-reload (Shift-Reload, Ctrl-Reload) on that page.


How would I do that? Different from any other BCT subforum,
there are no "delete" and "edit" buttons in my posts, only "quote".

Thanks a lot!

new version 0.6

* bugfix: Currency rates were hardcoded rates from dev phase, stupid.
    Now real YahooFinance rates are used for conversion.
    The arbitrage spread looks more reasonable now, doesn't it?  

* banner is pointing to "send me your offer" not auction anymore.

What else do you want me to implement?

How much do you pay to have your
leaderboard banner on my fabulously

useful site http://btc.hopto.org

?

Just send me your offer. Thanks.

Great initiative, kawa900jc.


I have just sent testnetcoins to 'Daiw' - thanks for testing martymcfly2015's new code.


Anyone else? Here is more information: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1176709.msg16855673#msg16855673

I was on the bitcoin conference, sorry. Just getting back. I have not had the time to fully check, and will not for another few days, but:

... my 2 testnet nodes seem to have been running fine for the past weeks:

> eth.blockNumber
88570

> eth.mining
true

> web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(eth.coinbase), "soil")
630093.50315

So if anyone has a bit of time, please go and run the testnetclient of martymcfly2015's new code.

Use my Linux tutorials below, or his Windows manual.

And then tell me your testnet SOIL address, so I can throw huge amounts of testcoins at you ;-)


To be done for the testnet:
* (CODE REVIEW) understand what was changed during the commits with the 200+ files (one is this one)
* (EXPERIMENT) deploy a contract, check that that does work
* (SEARCH AND DO) find and run a test suite to fully test the code

What do you think?

There are two shorter versions now:

• the no comments quickstart command list: gsoiltestnet-quickstart.txt
• an abbreviated version, cut down to the essential basics: c9 forum post (scroll down to 'Install')

Anyone wants testnet coins? Send me your address.

:-)

retweet  please. Thank you.
