[ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

[TanteStefana2]

I guess I continue to be unlucky...     My node @ Xb7qiTRzJJewfby9eXGeAcYMN7RNGgPnBw hasn't been paid in 12 days.

According to DashNinja, your last payment was 3d18h17m14s ago.  So something is happening to your payments.  Now I don't know what it is, but the first thing that comes to my mine, is are you using masternode.conf?  If so, are you still using the old donate to address option?  That no longer works, perhaps it is causing trouble? 

Sorry if I can't come up with the right answer, but I thought it was worth a try.  Something is definitely happening to your payments because I don't see it arriving in your account number, yet DashNinja shows it was paid.  Strange.

Thanks italeffect! So very kind of you!

With everybodys input, I'll do my best to make dashman a comprehensive toolset.

I'm currently toying around with an interactive troubleshooter, but I'm busy on other things right now.

Thank you for your support and kind words! (And the tip, WOW!)

The whole Dash ecosystem seems to be going through a major growth period right now with all these third party services springing up - not to mention actual retail adoption.

It doesn't matter that it's only a handful - precedent is being set.

b.t.w. the facilitator for this seems to be Node40. I just realised they run multi-owner masternode pools which I wasn't aware of. The advent of these means that the entire coin supply is now subject to interest bearing holdings whether or not one's balance exceeds the full masternode collateral.

Great developments.

I had an odd error when I reinstalled from a backed up wallet, the 1k came back alright but the single recent payment was not showing in the wallet even though it was synced (but showing at dashninja and explorer as 1003)
I sorted this and got the outstanding balance to show using 'recover transactions2' dropping the metadata, an odd glitch, perhaps wastedLTC already has the payment but doesn't know it?

If so, shouldn`t it be noted in the blockchain?

I second this. Fantastic time saver when used with SuperPutty for multiple nodes.

TAO'S DASHCUREX.COM GUIDE FOR DUMMIES:

- Create account at Dashcurex.com.
- Fill out profile information.
- Under Settings, find Export Profile to Bitcurex.
- You now have an account at Bitcurex with the same login info.
- Buy Dash: Send Bitcoin to Bitcurex. Under Balances, click send to Dashcurex. Your BTC arrive in Dashcurex immediately.
- Sell Dash: Send Dash to Dashcurex. Sell for BTC. Under balances, click send to Bitcurex. Your BTC arrive at Bitcurex immediately. Withdraw as normal. (First time addresses must wait 48 hrs.)

Note 1. You can be logged into the two sites simultaneously.
Note 2. I have asked for a switch to Bitcurex feature, or the ability to send BTC from Dashcurex. I'm sure that functionality will come eventually.

Tao

Volume increasing at Dash-only exchange Dashcurex. Great to see that for these Dash supporters. It's huge to be able to tell people that we have our own exchange. Keep up the trading there, peeps!

When you see 1 vote, that's not enough to actually make the system skip. It skips on 2 or more.

Outstanding work moocowmoo, thankyou

Hadn't come across superputty before, a great combo for managing MN's.

Maturity of DASH is picking up on all levels.

Thanks guys! Glad you're enjoying it! Your support means a lot to me!
Please let me know if you have ideas! --> moocowmoo@masternode.me

I was updating my signature, and realized I couldn't hotlink my donation address (with the typical 'dash:' prefix)

So, I just asked shapeshift.io to support urls like this:

https://shapeshift.io/send/dash/to/XmoocowYfrPKUR6p6M5aJZdVntQe71irCX

wish us luck, this could be slick.

And now, I announce the first ever automated block checking and restart script for your masternodes.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
blockold=$(/home/dash/dash-cli getinfo | grep "blocks" | grep -Eo '[0-9]{6,100}')
while true
do
sleep 1000
blocknew=$(/home/dash/dash-cli getinfo | grep "blocks" | grep -Eo '[0-9]{6,100}')
if [ $blocknew -gt $blockold ]
then
blockold=$blocknew
else
tail -n 30 /home/dash/.dash/debug.log >> crash.log
/home/dash/dash-cli stop
sleep 30
pkill -9 dashd
sleep 10
/home/dash/dashd
sleep 60
blockold=$(/home/dash/dash-cli getinfo | grep "blocks" | grep -Eo '[0-9]{6,100}')
fi
done

This program grabs the current block. Then waits 16 minutes(longest block I found was about 13 minutes) and checks that block. If the new block is bigger it stores the new block as the old and waits another 16 minutes. If the old block is not bigger we assume dashd is locked up. It first logs the last 30 lines of the debug.log and tries to shutdown nicely. And if that doesn't work it kills the process. Then restarts and finds blocks again. This should also restart the dashd if it doesn't get any output(like if it isn't running).

So for those with more than one masternode on a server, you should change dashd to dashd1, dashd2, etc. Then use pkill -9 dashd1, dashd2, etc. If you just use dashd it will shut anything down with dashd in it. If there is any interest, I could make a script for multiple nodes.

Start from crontab or with screen.  Go back a dozen pages for more info on those options.

As of last night, I found 122 recent blocks (since 300000) over 1000 seconds apart.
(ranging from 17 to 40 minutes)
(block number, seconds since last, pasted here):
https://www.zerobin.net/?4ac778770e4c182a#sBpr6QYqHJSVW8tgPgTegOKgsgoVYpYqQ5/9Tvy9U9s=

Your 1000 second sleep isn't long enough. You'll end up restarting unnecessarily.

I'm sure there's better test criteria to use, but I don't have any
suggestions at this time.  

Also, during shutoff 'dashd' renames its process to 'dash-shutoff' I'm not
sure if pkill will pick that up. killall doesn't.  I do 'dash-cli stop ;
sleep 20 ; killall -9 dashd dash-shutoff' to allow the daemon time to
shutdown and to be sure I've killed the (probably hung-on-closing) dashd
(now named dash-shutoff)

HTH

BTW, I run several hundred instances of dashd, and haven't found a need to
force-restart due to hangs.  Version 12.0.53 has proven very stable for me.
If you are having recurring hangs, check your hosting/build environment.

I use the gitian-built distributed files from https://www.dashpay.io/downloads/
I use DigitalOcean to host my masternodes

[moocowmoo]

thx for the "better" details

I had changed it to 2000 sec.
I'll alter my version further - your the BEST moocowmoo :-D

Thanks MangledBlue.

I just let this run overnight (inefficient as hell, but I wasn't in a rush):

Code:

for blocknum in `seq $(dash-cli getblockcount)`
  do echo -n "$blocknum : " ; dash-cli getblock `dash-cli getblockhash $blocknum` | grep time
  done > blocktimes.txt &

then slapped together this perl script to zipper up the deltas:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $prev_time;
while (<>) {
    ($block, undef, $time) = split /:/;
    print $block, ' ', $time - $prev_time . "\n";
    $prev_time = $time;
}

exit;

Then:

Code:

cat blocktimes.txt | ./parse_bloktime.pl > blocktimes_delta.txt

to get the list.

Opened that in vim, run some buffer sorts "%:!sort -n -k2", and extracted the relevant info.
