NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[punkrock]

Standalone package for the Raspberry Pi:

I've put together a package with the current version of the NXT server and the Embedded Version of Oracle JRE that you can run on your Raspberry Pi as-is. You can get it from my public node server.

To download and run it on the Pi, do the following steps in a local or remote console. I assume you have the Pi up and running already, using e.g. Raspbian. I myself am using Raspbian, however, the package should also work with other distributions.

Code:

wget http://109.230.224.65/~nxt/nxt_rasppi.tar.gz
tar -xf nxt_rasppi.tar.gz
cd nxt
./run_nxt.sh

You can tweak the JRE call in the run_nxt.sh script if you want, most importantly of course: the memory usage. I have found that my preset values are more than enough, so you might want to try to tweak them lower, especially if you want to do something else with the Pi while running the server.
Also, I put a symlink in the rootdir called configfile which leads to the web.xml file, for easier access.

I recommend running the server in some sort of backgrounding context, as it is basically a daemon. Use a multiplexer like screen or at least use nohup.

If you want to access the client from another machine, as you probably are starting the server remotely, remember to put your accessing IP or "*" as allowed addresses in the configfile.

Have fun trying it out, and remember to post your impressions of NXT on a Pi.

someone pls FIX a thread with this on nextcoin ASAP!

short summery of my, each on separate account hallmarked, vps-nodes:

location is germany.
still looking for an asian hoster...

has created an donation account for more transparency.

I will hallmark the donation account with a power full server and hope it becomes weighted well ;-)


NxT Hurra !!!

I've added a sticky at Nextcoin.org

The forum seems perma-DDoS'd, so I didn't really bother writing much there. Only put a link in that one thread.

Thanks, I will look into the sticky when it comes back online.

So yesterday I created an address by choosing a pass-phrase, but now, when I get to localhost:7874 and put that pass-phrase, a different address appears. How can I access my original address?

Give me your new address and old address and I will check the balance in the old one and reimburse you what you have lost (within my means) if you can't remember it.

Just remember the new passphrase!!

I'd really appreciate your help. My new address is 11167183571272945597. The old one is 15833482877956085624.

He received a transaction with short deadline that wasn't included into re-forged chain. I sent him all the info and he will ask the sender to repeat the payment. Luckyly the sender is a good guy so there won't be any problems. But next time people should refuse to accept payments with short deadlines (less than 24h), coz a blockchain reorg can invalidate them. I think we should change deadline minimum value from 1 min to 24 hours.

Xmas Update!

Another 10 nodes have been deployed in Dallas. DNS is propagating and will soon be seen as node31-node40.

That's 40 nodes in 4 geographic locations!

The nxt cluster of 10 will be with a new cloud provider so it might take a bit to code up the differences.

ALSO - the first vanity node is launched - panda.nxtbase.com - hallmarked by the sponsor. Hot damn!

Deployment update:
Funds received - 237'500 nxt
Nodes deployed - 41
Nodes queued - 37

Funding goal remaining for 100 nodes by Jan 3 - 64'000 nxt

To sponsor a node for 3 months (end of March), send 3000 nxt to 11243542237777034551. Vanity nodes are 4500 nxt and will have your hallmark (good large stakeholder PR).

I have a bunch of dedicated servers, but all at one data center. Is there any benefit from deploying the server code on more than one of the servers?

What would the typical CPU load be? These are compute oriented servers, so not much bandwidth for each, maybe 10mbps.

How much would this help?

Who all these ppl who buy NXT? Was there an article somewhere recently?

How to refuse payments with short deadlines? We can just ask the sender to put a high deadline? Or is this somehow configurable for the receiver?

cpu load is negligible.
every node helps to split the load.

Badassery, this!

Good idea, might be better in the long term than endless dropboxing.

+1000 Great work so far

[smartwart]

question:

is it better to setup all nodes with wellKnownAdress, so they know each-other,
or better without to have the network more randomized?

it is java memory intensive though.  yes!  putem up!

Only ask.

during db-reorg i found these accounts with a wrong timestamp within the new accounts tab ( firstTransaction) .
don't know atm if this is usefull and perhaps they disappear during reorg but just in case:

OK, I got it running on one server, but I only have ssh access to it. How can I make sure it is working right?

Once I get one going, I can cssh all 150 of the servers in a few hours.

How much would 150 servers help things?

James

P.S. donations would be nice as these are productions servers that will make less revenue by doing this.
