[*] 8BIT [Dark Masternodes][Anon][Roadmap Stage 4]

[morenho]

Windows wallet working yet? bought some coins a loooong time ago, and never got to make the MN because of sync issues...

[Rigorous]

How many coins a Masternode receive Daily ?

0.88 x 3 or 4. around that.

Really? It varies a lot in my experience. Sometimes 3 a day, sometimes 3 days nothing.

Well i guess your statement is much better and true. There are days with luck and days with no luck at all.

Is there a way to increase syncing speed?
My masternode is on a Vultr vps.
The syncing of the masternode can't keep up with the increment of the blockchain, so it is getting more and more behind.
I have 512mb memory and 2GB swap.
How can I speed this up?

1) Use bootstrap or install parsed blockchain
2) I forgot about forks since I use 1GB ram + 2GB swap

I still don't get it: atm the load average of the vps is between 0.00 and 0.10, so it is idle.
Memory in use is 66%.
Disk activity is zero for minutes.
Syncing is still not finished and is to slow to catch up to the current block.
Another strange thing is that "./8bitd getinfo" takes a very long time to respond

So because it is almost not using resources I would say it has something to do with connections. The number 0f connections is 8, but it seems like it takes to long for the information to come in.
Is there something i can change in the 8bit.conf to speed that up?

Yeah, closer to 3 days nothing.  Pretty disappointing.

The code for this coin is ancient.  It gobbled up 4gb of ram on my vps before.   From what I can tell, it's using really old bitcoin core code in there, and you need to tune some params.  Try adding these to the conf:

maxconnections=20
dbcache=64
mempool=64


Still, mine is using nearly 1gb of ram.

There's no way in hell you can run this coin with 512mb of ram.  With config options, expect it to gobble up 4gb of ram trying to swallow it's blockchain.   With options (I posted a few above) it'll use 1gb of ram.

Here's the proof:

Code:

top - 19:39:59 up 30 days, 15:36,  1 user,  load average: 0.17, 0.17, 0.22
Tasks:  21 total,   1 running,  20 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
%Cpu(s):  0.2 us,  0.6 sy,  1.5 ni, 97.8 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.0 si,  0.0 st
KiB Mem:   4194304 total,  1915204 used,  2279100 free,        0 buffers
KiB Swap:   524288 total,   111496 used,   412792 free.  1110980 cached Mem

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
22055 poops     20   0 2469660 973340 363280 S  12.3 23.2   1680:37 8bitd
23581 poops     20   0 1529660 107312  10780 S   6.3  2.6 228:52.39 bitcloudd

I'm running 2 MN coins.  Bitcloud and 8bit on the same container.  Compare.

So it makes no difference that the 2 GB swap is on an SSD?
I tought because SSD is fast I could have more fast memory.
I just switched to Vultr because on my Time4vps I was not permitted to enlarge the swap file

dbcache=64
mempool=64

what these two commands do? why 64 ?

[JohnShepard]

Hi guys.
downloaded bootstrap.dat.gz
and blocks.tgz.
I did everything right, but
another 12 weeks after the dumps ....

synchronization is simply awful long.

Can anyone pull out of his wallet fresh files?
from the folder AppData / 8Bit

of course without Wallet.dat

Paste here output of:

Code:

free -m

[8-bit-Party]

dbcache=64
mempool=64

Default value for dbcache is 25, so 64 will increase memory consumption. Don't do it. mempool option does not exist. Setting it changes nothing.

Nothing to compare here. When 8bit was as small as bitcloud is (blockchain height & size, utxo size), people were running 10 wallets concurrently on 1GB machines.

Agreed it can't be compared to Bitcloud... but 8Bit uses WAY to many resources....

What is the ETA on the new wallet with new mn coin requirements?

[trunghieu250688]

Is this coin alive? Vol is so low

[r8st]

Is this coin alive? Vol is so low

It has a pulse, I know that... it's going through some transitions currently... there was a 20ish btc wall at .00007 for a while, then there was a big one at .00004, now at .00002... I know at least one person is taking the coin seriously, even more are taking it seriously as evidenced by the activity on this thread. I have no idea what the price will do but I imagine eventually people would run out of surplus 8bit to sell this epically mysterious someone, and then the price will have less downward pressure.

To prospective buyers it seems like now or soon would be a good time to buy.... a GINORMOUS amount of 8bit has been unloaded over the course of the last couple of months, many of us have witnessed it, there simply can not be all that much surplus 8bit left hanging around that anyone would want to sell. The price could do anything from here but I'd expect it will begin heading up again soon. New wallet is supposed to be coming too with new masternode requirements (1000 8bit instead of 112).

So yes, i'd say alive.

"8bitd -cli masternode list" returns usually around 50-100 active mns for me at any time

free -m

                   total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            488         106          84           4         297         345
Swap:          3071         448        2623

CPU is around 0,7%

Still it's inresponsive. ./dasd getinfo takes a long time or doesn't appear at all
Still some 2200 blocks behind
The amount of blocks behind is growing

[8-bit-Party]

Weird. Really. Do you have non-empty wallet.dat in use? If so, let it sync without it. Please paste an output of

Code:

ps ux|grep 8bitd

New wallet sounds good, will that be a working windows wallet?
