BTCD is no more

[PilotofBTC]

1. I think that if we are going to spend 500-1000$ a month on servers we should be able to press the price a little.

2. I would like to be a part of the team working with the servers, but i have almost 2 weeks this month where I will be in Italy driving world finals in go kart, so I will not be online that 2 weeks.

Also I am no expert in driving servers, but I would like to give a hand if someone else is in charge (at least in the beginning) as the winter is coming and I don't have much else to do after work.


3. If we are to use 20+ servers, we would need to have the ability to ether clone 1 server out to all the other. Or have some service passing out the chances, from the master server, as it else would be to time consuming (and to big error rate)


Please bear in mind that i am a bit dyslexic.

50 t2.micro instances on Amazon AWS would be $476/mo.

A t2.micro instance is 1 CPU, 1 GB RAM, no perm storage.

I'm pretty sure you can create 1 image and bring up VM's using that image. You can also turn them off and only pay for what you use.

That's 512 MB of RAM VM. But, the price is certainly better if that will suffice.

512 is insufficient to run NXT & BTCD effectively. 1GB may be even pushing it. I was only able to test on 768 (kept crashing) and 1.75 GB, worked ok.

seems there are not so many bugs
and also not so many servers
I will integrate the cloud storage into Teleport next

BTCD really needs a good dice site to make BTCD more known

Someone mention a dice site?

dice.btcdplays.com

Card game too

Updated OP, Thanks!

OVH is providing cheap VPS as well. I'm using them and works quite fine for me. I don't work for them and no affiliation. Just using their service.

They provide 1 vCore CPU, 1GB RAM, 10GB HDD, up to 10,000 GB data transferred per month @100 Mbps, then 1 Mbps for $2.99. For $6.99 2 vCore CPU, 2GB RAM, 25GB HDD. All ports open.

[jl777]

fixed a big bug, please update
./m_unix

should be a lot more stable

Are you running SuperNET on it? Someone said ~2 Gb Ram was ideally needed.
Also, are there any good options for paying in btc?
I need to get something up and running asap, so information appreciated. I'm happy to pay for a VPS for a year if someone can help me get it set up.

Using DigitalOcean for the SuperNET testing with 1 GB RAM 4 GB SWAPwith 1 core processor for $10/monthly.  Limited to 2 TB transfer, also they give you 30 GB SSD which is not available in OVH plan.

I am so close...
BitcoinDark: Unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:14631 on this computer. BitcoinDark is probably already running.
I think I've opened ports 6777, 1336, 14632 on my home router, as suggested by https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CGUgDAhimVhz7aHAnITeZGr2S4RiZPzF2LYZIWGbJ1E/edit
I am SO CLOSE. I have sweated blood over this and am literally one command away from getting it working.
Suggestions?

Right, so as it error said. You already have BitcoinDark running:

cassius  29658  1001 26 16:19 ?        00:14:35 ./BitcoinDarkd


run:

kill -9 29658

and start it up again

anyone say,why BTCD price so cheap?
