Feeds - why do you vote for delegates without feeds?

To publish feed, do we need to pay fees?

Yes, each publish is a transaction.

yup, but you can lower fee rate from 0.5 to 0.1 if you want

Delegates should be able to publish feeds without being in the top 101 in the next version:  https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/issues/1117

I've recently set up a delegate for the first time. Setting up feeds is toughest part - there's little information on how to do it, and it is scattered around many threads. I'm still not sure if I've successfully managed to do so. I'm also not sure if I should be wasting time on it, if they are to be discontinued. Bottom line - more information needed.

This. If you want lots of delegates, then the process has to be made trivial.

I looked at setting up a delegate a while back and gave up. It's not clear the client can run in parallel to the QT and it was taking too much time to check over scripts in an effort to add bitGBP and others to them. Also, I wonder about the amount of variety in the feeds. If everyone is opting for the couple of scripts that exist and not fixing those to represent their own thoughts, then what's the point?

Off topic, I also wonder about the stability of a network resting on only 101 delegates - it's unclear if the intention is that number grows later.

Wallet needa to be unlocked ..
no need for config.py
run it in a cronjob every 5miniutes or ao
Force publish time can be set in config.json

Cool
Thanks for your time and effort

The script keeps running, doesn't it? So wont cronning it result in multiple clone processes?

I have set-up bitsuperlab/operation_tools btsfeeds on my delegate but would like to publish more feeds using your script.
Where is the best place to ask you a few questions?

Thanks

Use the 'ALL' parameter to publish all the available feeds, if that's the question you were gonna ask

Nearly

Do I use a cron job?
and
Does config.py need to be configured just to publish feeds?

I think on top of voting out non publishing delegates we need to actively vote in delegates who have committed to publishing feeds. Could we maybe vote in one or two new delegates collectively every few days. We could even have a thread for trial delegate of the day or week or something like that. If they don't publish feeds we can vote them out after a few days, and if they do a good job, we keep them. It would allow us to try to address the issue without waiting for the ability of standby delegates to publish.

FYI: del0.cass price feeds are ready to go, when elected to the 101 delegates my price feeds will be active...

p.s.: 20M BTS to go .... thank you'll for your votes...

I am happy to publish feeds as a standby delegate or just vote for delegate.ihashfury
