[ANN] Orbitcoin v1.6.3.0 ~ NeoScrypt ~ Green Stake ~ 10 Years Old

[Lisa_Nelson]

Good job! That info was posted on another forum thread at https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/38531-minor-problems-compiling-orb-wallet-on-non-x86-cpu-eg-raspberry-pi-odroid-c1/ along with some other useful hints (especially on the second page).
You got it working because you have double of the RAM amount I had (I suppose).
Congrats, anyway

I'm the OP of that thread.

As per that thread I gave up on ORB because an Odroid C1 with 1GB of RAM was insufficient (it would end up swapping like crazy - storage and CPU far too busy), plus it was randomly segfaulting.

I've now come back to it with an Odroid C2, which uses a 64 bit ARM CPU, with 2GB RAM. Not a single crash, and there's enough room for a couple more coin daemons, too.

ORB: 2162M virt, 723M res
COIN2: 2035 virt, 559M res
COIN3: 1017M virt, 344M res

Free memory: 257M

It has been running for 24 days stable, and has staked a couple of times.

I've also installed zram on the C2, which presents a swap device that compresses data, keeping it in RAM rather than swapping to disk if possible. If Raspbian supports it (and it is not already enabled by default) this should make a noticeable difference in available RAM on a 1GB Pi 3.  sudo apt-get install zram-config

That's strange, my installation rarely swap while I get 1GB of RAM. Where you using the GUI or the client ? On which distribution ?

Original try was with an Odroid C1 which has a 1.5GHz quad core ARM with 1GB RAM. Ubuntu 14.04. Daemon only - board was running headless. The main issue was the amount of memory that ORB needed (couldn't really use the board for anything else) but there were also the mysterious crashes.

This was over a year ago. It's possible that subsequent updates to the ORB source, or the OS distribution, have quietly fixed whatever the problem was.

Anyway, it's working nicely now on the Odroid C2, quad core 2GHz ARM64 with 2GB RAM.

Great news, maybe it's a step toward Android ?

Many people want a fully functional wallet for Android, i.e. with staking. However most Android phones/tablets on the market come with 1Gb of RAM (maybe a few hundred Mb available actually). That's enough for a light weight Electrum style wallet with no staking. I think 2Gb is a must for an Android port of our Qt wallet.

While a fully functional wallet would be awesome, couldn't a "basic" wallet (send, receive) bring more people to OrbitCoin ?

It would probably. Those light weight wallets are dependent on server infrastructure to get block headers and other necessary data from. It means a few more VPS to spin up. In addition, someone has to take care of this wallet's code base and follow the general development. I'm not sure if there is enough demand right now to justify costs and time required for this task.

On the other hand, if our current wallet is ported to Android, it's pretty much a one time effort. No additional servers required and no separate code base to maintain. More or less.

Hardly any volume lately. It's like pulling teeth. LoL

Website & explorer were down indeed but it seems everything is fine now

Nothing wrong actually on my side. We celebrate Orbitcoin's 3rd birthday and I have forgotten to order a domain name renewal in the process.

[TvZ]

OMG! I forgot Orbitcoins 3rd birthday, shame on me!
Happy B-Day ORB & ORB community!


Ghost, many thanks for all the good work you do!

Good to see coin has a successful 3 years run...It is certainly a long term coin...Happy Birthday Orbit

Seems like a very food currency especially since its lasted as you as you said! 3 years and still going strong says a lot for it. I have only just started collecting but I'm staking away

Pretty much recent online Orbitcoin wallets with an open port (15298) at router/firewall.
Probably lots more wallet owners haven't opened this port so they are not on the nodelist.

I think these stats are not up to date, i'm pretty sure there are more Orbitcoin wallets online.

if the people use a upnp so the port is open
