[ANN][XEL] Elastic Project - The Decentralized Supercomputer

[unvoid]

I'm moving explorer to another IP address and connecting to domain.

Later I'll have little request for reddit/r/XEL mod(s) to update topic with proper address. Or even better, can I have mod status on this subreddit?

Thanks!

If you need a temporary or permanent hostname just let me know.

Thanks! Already bought domain. But anyway I think you could help in future if we will have more websites.

If you want to try XEL:

First of all you need Java installed: go to google and search how to install Java on your machine. Currently we support Linux and MacOSX. Windows support will be later (but if you know how to do correct paths in Windows you can compile it in Windows).

Download testnet client https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-reference-client.
Best if you download it trough git for future easy updates. Install git on your machine and:

git clone https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-reference-client.git

Watch this video for instructions how to run it https://player.vimeo.com/video/178616474?quality=1080p and paste your address here to receive some XEL for testing and fun.


If you want to try out a miner:

1. Download it from: https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-miner
Best if you download it trough git for future easy updates. Install git on your machine and:

git clone https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-miner.git

2. ./compile.sh
3. ./run.sh
4. Give it your passphrase (after you hit a key make sure visible XEL address is yours)
5. Give it a XEL running daemon IP address (default localhost)
6. Hit enter and submit work to the network in your XEL client UI as shown here https://player.vimeo.com/video/178616474?quality=1080p. If someone else will submit work to the network your miner will automatically start working on it.
7. Example work are here https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-reference-client/tree/master/elasticpl_examples. no_bounties_found.epl will not found any bounty! Be warned that this is debug job that will just expire after 250 blocks without any submissions.

Suggestions:

run miner with lower cpu priority for optimal experience. Especialy if you running miner on the same machine that you running XEL node.

i. e.

Code:

screen nice -n 20 ./run.sh

20 is lowest possible priority in most linux env.


If you want to update XEL to the newest version:

Stop your node (CTRL + C)
Go to main directory of XEL and:

Code:

git pull origin master
./compile.sh
rm -rf nxt_test_db/
screen ./run.sh

If you want to update miner to the newest version:

Stop your miner (CTRL + C)
Go to main directory of miner and:

Code:

git pull origin master
./compile.sh
screen nice -n 20 ./run.sh

@EK can you drop your bitmessage address? I'll send my message addressed to @Lannister to you so if you have better contact with him you could pass my message.

I was trying 4 times without success I think.

It seems that in order to really grasp the potential of a project one would find it useful to read about some applications for which the project could specifically be used. What would be some of the killer apps of Elastic? It seems to me that if it could be optimized for mining, it could likely take off pretty quickly. Indeed, this kind of utility could prove enormously valuable, especially in the crypto community. Any thoughts on that?

EK, i have installed Java Version 8 Update 101 (build 1.8.0_101-b13) on windows 8 - 64bit at C:\Program Files\Java
Should i change any thing in file compile.sh

#!/bin/sh
CP=conf/:classes/:lib/*
SP=src/java/

/bin/rm -f nxt.jar
/bin/rm -rf classes
/bin/mkdir -p classes/

javac -sourcepath ${SP} -classpath ${CP} -d classes/ src/java/evil/ElasticPL/* src/java/nxt/*.java src/java/nxt/*/*.java  || exit 1

echo "nxt class files compiled successfully"


I tried run ./compile.sh but it says ./compile.sh: line 9: javac: command not found

Make sure that your java compiler is in your PATH.

And, man...  doing it on windows when windows builds aren't supported isn't the smartest thing, if you're not a developer.  If you'd like to have an early preview, install an ubuntu in a virtual machine and play there.

Awesome!! Nice job! I am also almost finished porting. It takes a few hours longer because I make the source code and the bounty/pow submissions prunable to avoid cluttering the blockchain too fast.

Awesome job (http://elasticexplorer.org). I will adjust this in the reddit thread.
I can also arrange the mod status on r/XEL.
Please message reddit user u/dreamer2020-


Thanks

Two days ago I was testing explorer submiting works to the network. After some submission I ended in a fork again. So network works just fine untill someone push some work. It's good because exchange/explorer or anyone that will only want to secure blochchain will simply not run any miner daemon and this will be health, right chain. But anyway, this must to be fixed.

Can't wait for new client! New client, new bugs

yes, i have to wait

[Evil-Knievel]

I'll come up with something for you shortly.

Let's raise the virtual machine memory to 8MB (from 1KB right now), what do you think? It's not that much after all, and we will have a lot more use cases for elastic.

Seems like a reasonable thing to do. Anything that speaks against raising it?

Technically speaking, we could raise it even higher but for the bruteforce-style programming language (i think) there is no need for much more memory.
Maybe, when we add more languages / work types we can extend memory requirement for those work types later on. But that's future work, we have to keep in mind, that verification of POW/Bounties should never become a bottleneck ... not even on very slow devices such as on the raspberry pi.

[ImI]

OK, sounds good. Then lets see the pi as a minimal requirement unit.

Hope there will be more of us in future

( I have quite weak geoip database so some peers are shown as unknown (N/A). I'll try to find more accureate database in future )

EDIT: wrong link.

This is the most beautiful block explorer I have ever seen! Really  

Note, in the new version there will be no more "Work Cancellation" or "Bounty Payout TX" transactions. Those will be only ledger events triggered by an internal blockchain listener. The only transaction that will still be represented by actual transactions on the blockchain are "Work Creation", "POW", "Bounty", "Bounty Payout", "Work Cancellation Request".

Regardind your Bitmessage problem ... I sometimes have the same issues that you have. I think most of the time its a screwed clock or something, so that I get blacklisted by other BM peers before I can sync properly. Is your timezone set correct? Is the time correct for that timezone?

I'll start working on PoW (regarding explorer) when you'll have working client. Don't rush! Take your time to get it right!

I sent you message dedicated to @Lannister here on BCT in PM. Hope you will pass it to @Lannister.
