50 PTS Bounty - Fix PTS Synchronization Time Issues [PAID]

[bytemaster]

Ok, I'm setting up a DO droplet. I'll report when it's built and blockchain is downloaded. Once we confirm it works, I'll write a setup script and spin up 5-10 instances, then update the pull request with the new IP addresses.

I don't want to pay for more instances than necessary, so can we justify the monthly cost of 5-10 instances vs just 5?

Did you try building and testing your change? There were compile errors

Code Select Expand


net.cpp: In function 'void setChurnMode()':
net.cpp:77:29: error: assignment of read-only variable 'MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS'
net.cpp: In function 'void ThreadOpenConnections()':

Fixed by making MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS not a static const


Is my churn usage understanding correct? I'm changing your script to use the new flag:

Yo, it doesn't build anymore after the churn fix

init.cpp: In function 'bool AppInit2(boost::thread_group&)':
init.cpp:498:22: error: 'setChurnMode' was not declared in this scope
make: *** [obj/init.o] Error 1


edit: derp, wasn't in the header

Yeah I agree, I think the bounty should be bumped a bit?
Having new nodes or requires setting up nodes with different providers wasn't part of the original spec.

I'm AFK for a while, someone else want to set up nodes on non-DO servers?

I provided fix for the initial bounty and his request to add Freetrades mod. You pushed the fixes and created a node. So maybe he'll compansate for the extra work if we are lucky.

This is now complicated.

I think 3 plus my current seed node for a total of 4 will be fine.   Not all at DO though 4 different providers. 

Wait so are you saying your current node is DO? Can I use the one I just set up plus two more (say, linode and rackspace)?

Mission acomplished, now....who gets what %?

No idea - but if it pans out and if I'm due something here's my PTS - PnARJi1wbdCUGMzdck16xe5RKpf3eYBmQP

Let's make sure it builds and runs on all platforms first, and maybe see what I3 guys say about how many dedicated seeds they want?

I'm fine with 20 for me and 30 for you, assuming we'll get paid for hosting separately.

I did:
Set up new working seed and github stuff. Also was working on setup script but you got to it first. Gonna set up more seeds if bytemaster wants them.

you did:
Setup script, churn code (how hard was this? was very fast, I assume you used freetrade's code for this), found the list of working seed IPs

still to do: build working pts-qt for windows

Added your changes and my new seed node, they're in the same pull request


https://github.com/InvictusInnovations/ProtoShares/pull/5

for some reason the diffs on github aren't working properly, can you copy/paste the parts you changed here so we can see?

[barwizi]

Modified files here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxCtiOzdwvPyTUZ2UjhaQXFDOHM&usp=sharing

net.cpp and init.cpp

I added the churn function

just replace and build or push

My upload streams are both unreliable, cant seem to push to github

I love the team work! 

Free trades fix needs to be part of the solution because my seed node fills up and stops accepting connections.  I have to kill it every 15 minutes to keep things working.

Quick-n-dirty solution would be to just set a cron job to kill and restart the node, if that indeed does work.

Someone check this (goes in crontab)?
