NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[bitcoinrocks]

Are there separate client and server programs or is everyone running the same thing?

How can we monitor the distribution of Nxt amongst stakeholders?

162.243.117.63 stuck forever. Delete blockchain and launch it again.

Edit: Maybe not forever, try to restart it without deleting.

lmao  ...please don't start to get laughed at, it will make me feel bad...

Laugh as much as you like - I see some P2P networks working fine and 1 not working well at all. This is just a fact.

I would really appreciate it if you guys admitted there is a *bug* with the software that has nothing to do with any sort of attack and just fix the bug.

Sorry, but the network is under attack, this is not a bug. Look at uploaded volume after 10 mins of working:

And this is only 1/3 of the complete list.

For hosts that run ubuntu you can replace your "/etc/init.d/rc.local" with code from http://pastebin.com/6f2tw9Cf
And then REBOOT server.

My server have 8 active peers and everything goes fine

Give us time to mature, plz.

Just restart it, it may have all file descriptors exhausted.

Well thanks for at least being a bit more mature in your response.

Maybe I am not your "die hard" supporter but I do think I represent many that are looking at NXT and I think what we'd mostly like to see is software that finds blocks.

I am on this short branch for an hour so far

Still keep it working as CfB suggests. I have to step outside a couple of hours. Will report when I come back.

restarded and re-launched, still at 23197 44929 %

Guys, I'd like to know how many of u, who run Nxt on a dynamic IP, have 7874 TCP port open for incoming connections. I'm going to get rid of "myAddress", peers will try to connect back to each other to make Nxt network more symmetrical.

So... do you actually believe what you have been doing all day is mature?

I am done responding to your posts until you come to your senses. 

+1.

CIYAM needs to stop cluttering up this thread with his trolling posts. We get it, you don't like NXT.

I invested some BTC into something that doesn't seem to be able to find new blocks with an exchange that doesn't even have https - so yes maybe I should not have bothered.

I do hope these are just some early issues that will get resolved and I will check on it again later - but for now I'd have to say that this is not looking better than other projects such as Mastercoin or Protoshares.

I'm about to bring 10 new nodes online. Should I start from nxtfiles.zip or scratch?

Scratch. Could u run them simultaneously and measure min, max and average time for complete blockchain download?

Guide on how to restart NXT on a VPS if it's stuck.

1) log in to server using Putty (using your root login and pass, same procedure as in my Public IP NXT node setup guide).
2) run 'top' command, it will show a line similar to this for 'java' process:

2973 root       20   0 1166m 428m  10m S   0.0 41.8   9:57.51 java


2973 is your process ID.


press 'q' to exit top;

3) kill -9 2973      (kills the java process, enter your 'java' process ID number instead of 2973).

4) cd ~/nxt

5) apt-get remove openjdk-7-jre   

(this removes the heavy JRE, and leaves the openjdk-7-jre-headless lightweight JRE, which requires less RAM to run, skip this step if you had completed it before).

6) nohup java -jar start.jar &          (starts NXT again).

Wait a few minutes and check in the browser if you see the latest blocks.


If you get NullPointerException in your browser, go through steps 2-4, then run a, b, c:

a) cp transactions.nxt.bak transactions.nxt

b) cp blocks.nxt.bak blocks.nxt                     

(these two commands copy over the backed up blockchain and transaction files)

c) nohup java -jar start.jar &



If it gets stuck too often, go thru steps 1-5 as usual and then try to run command in Step 6 like this:

if you have a node with 512 Mb RAM:
nohup java -Xms450m -Xmx480m -jar start.jar &

if you have a node with 1 GB RAM:
nohup java -Xms700m -Xmx900m -jar start.jar &

if you have a node with 2 GB RAM:
nohup java -Xms1500m -Xmx1800m -jar start.jar &

Any ideas how to know when it's downloaded programmatically?

I guess I could get the lastBlock from a known peer and time to that?
